Whee!

Local system status:
3:01AM up 369 days, 14:15, 0 users, load averages: 2.88, 1.18, 0.73

Woo! bornslippy.nuxx.net (the webserver that I host bunches of people on) has been up for more than a year…

Oh, and those loads are because this uptime was emailed as part of the daily jobs running at 3am. I get a bit of a load spike there.

If things go according to plan, I’ll be replacing this server within the next few months. I’m just taking my time to ensure that the new one is stable.

The newer machine should be a considerably faster dual-CPU machine. This would speed things up bunches when using things like… Gallery v2 and the image transforms (rotations especially) from v1. (The one I currently run, like at my gallery.)

For what it’s worth, that well-performing webserver that currently hosts… Oh… 17 domains and a number of subdomains and pushes out ~2GB of traffic per day is a Pentium II 450mhz (development sample running at 5x 100) with 384MB of RAM. As of right now, that motherboard/CPU has been powered on for all but six months since November of 1998.

Not bad… Once it’s retired, that motherboard will definitely go up on the wall as a piece of memorabilia.
