vbox ubuntu LTS inside wangblows 8.1

what happened to these threads on /g/?
im broke i have no server

>>105
Same thing that happened with the rest of /g/ fags came and ruined it

Bumping. Got a NUC running with automated PostgreSQL servers i dump my data to.

>>104 FOR WHAT PURPOSE

>>2067 High purposes, anon... High Purposes

I recently got a Raspberry Pi to host a web app for a non-profit I volunteer for, and got another for me to mess around with at home. No clue what to do with mine, any ideas? I'd like to do some kind of security/proxy stuff with it.

>>2559 check out freedombone, though be aware it's more or less pozzed. it will at least give some good ideas for a unified approach to these little machines.

>>103 i'm thinking about switching devuan from debian. What do you think about devuan anon, is it worth?

>>2566 So far it's been as stable as debian, and every debian package I've thrown at it works just fine. If you want to avoid System Dicks then it's a good choice.

>>103 Can't say I have much use for a server, unless I were to do something cool like running a search engine where 100GB is indispensable, or some kind of data mining. Technology is gay and awful though so I'm actually thinking I should get a rockpro and that'll be most of what I need. A quiet, tablet-shaped thing I can mount to an arm over my bed, no jewgle, HDMI out when the 7" screen isn't enough, and USB in so I can type properly. When I need to build something or do some other heavyweight process, I can just SSH into a big, stupid botnet desktop i'll keep in the basement, where it can be as hot and loud as it wants. Total price should be about $500.

>>2711 > Can't say I have much use for a server > I can just SSH into a big, stupid botnet desktop i'll keep in the basement, where it can be as hot and loud as it wants. Do you know what a server is?

>>2718 Yeah, technically it would be a build/encode server since it's running headless just to field these requests that are melting my laptop. It's hard for me to call it a "server" since it'll just be a refurbished i7 desktop firewalled from the internet.

>>103 2006-8 era desktop with new HDDs, FreeBSD and ZFS pools as a backup server, though I'm still a noob with it ;)

>>2567 Keep in mind that if you do use it you're going to want to turn caching WAAAAAAAAAY the fuck down unless you're hosting a sever that needs to retrieve files quickly (like an ftp server). I don't know if this is unique to devuan or not (unlikely) but the caching is extremely aggressive. In 3 days I was already switching over to swap even though 90% of my 32GB of memory was only in cache and not being used at all. Since I turned it down my rig is slower but it is MUCH more stable. If you're moving from ASCII to Beowulf, keep in mind a metric asston of shit changed for virtually every program and there is a lot of new stuff you're going to have to get used to.

>>3022 I haven't encountered any problems like this with ASCII but I also have like 300GB of RAM

>>3037 I never had a problem on ASCII either. Seems to be beowulf specific. Someone really needs to audit their code because systemctl is a thing in beowulf now and, while I haven't looked into it, that gives me much cause for concern.

I take back everything good I said about Devuan

currently working on adding <article> and <nav> tags on my website to make it easier for screenreaders >>2561 how is freedombone pozzed? I get the maker is, but I don't see how that extends to the server itself. Epicyon is very based for not requiring a database and most programs have a high emphasis on not requiring javascript

>>3060 >pozaf leftist creates a tech thing <tech thing not pozaf!11 >what could possibly go wrong, historically speaking? guilt by association? just a thought. libshit have certainly corrupted tech far and wide at this point, destroying project after project. they're sort of like a virus or locusts. The consume something till it's utterly gone, and wipe their mouths, saying "I have done nothing wrong!"

A pi 3 B with a touchscreen, it just stays under my monitors, i like him staying there. I will find a use for him eventually. I sometimes ssh into it and download my shit from there then scp my files to my main pc. I use rasbian with it but i might chance it to something more... techy like openbsd or gentoo.

What are your (creative) solution for dynamic ip?

>>3081 Create an overlay network where the current address is bound to a public key, so that when the physical address changes all it takes is to change the associated value and since the overlay address is a crypto key I can encrypt data for free, too. Not my idea, but it's cool.

>>103 i dont have anything cool to say except devuan, nice also >don't let this board get more dead then it already is than*

>>3082 What is the resolver?

>>3084 As long as some kind of table can be built, resolving the overlay address to get the physical address is easy, just store it as a value in the table with the overlay as a key. It's pretty much what also happens with routers and IP addresses. With an overlay network the already existing protocols can't really be used, but it can be worked around by using a dht or something like that.
