Well, the normal black pizzabox (1u server) that ofdoom.com runs on has borked itself badly ( It looks like it may be the motherboard ) so in a late night repair, Joy and I swapped out the drives into a system I had lying around. For a while (until I fix the pizzabox) ofdoom.com will be running off of a Pii-400 with 256 megs of ram. It's a bit of a step down from the Piii-1k with 1024 megs of ram it was, but it is still better than the tiny P-233 with 96 megs of ram it was in the middle of 2001. The temporary box should at least be stable. Before I gutted it, it had been my X10 light controller, Webcam server, NTP master, and been pulling down periodic backups of my with boxes with an uptime of over a year. Hopefully cleaning the dust out of it didn't break anything... The one thing that I worry about, a little bit is that the ethernet card is a Realtek which means that it might do strange things under heavy load... reply |
