If it works on mint, it’ll most likely work on debian, with the caveat that debian is a lot more CLI and a lot less handholding. Depending on your setup, debian might be a better choice for you, as Mint is desktop oriented.

But don’t fix something that already works. If there’s no issues with your Mint setup, I’d say keep it. Next time you set up a server, you can go for debian instead.

Source: I use both extensively. Mint on desktop, debian on headless stuff.

Noted. I’m mostly an X11 kind of guy. A few X12s.

Are yoy able to switxh to HTML5 instead of Java? I never managed to get that Java applet to run properly without issues, and it sucks that older supermicro machines default to it. But many (most? All?) Have an HTML5 option you can use instead.

Also, the BMC croaks sometimes - pull bios battery and any other backup batteries during a power cycle.

Circular dependency issue

I use beegfs at work for the redundancy and clustering aspect. 1.8PB of storage with 100% redundancy.

While it supports a lot and CAN be quite involved, a very basic setup is in fact pretty simple:

A filesystem on a machine is a storage target.
A machine with storage targets is a storage node. (beegfs-storage)
A management server (beegfs-mgmtd) connects these together into a filesystem.
Any machine runs beegfs-client to mount this filesystem.
One machine needs to run beegfs_meta for the Metadata. It doesn’t require a lot.

Both dhcpd and bind support failover.

If you want to have failover storage you might want to look into beegfs, as storage targets can be mirrored across hosts.

Source: Using all of the above at work. I’ve had motherboards die on me without causing downtime.

Well it’s not fucking blank anymore then, is it??

I’ve been resolving them since the late 90s, no worries.

0. Because I’m old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.

I want to be buried with my treasure, and as a data hoarder I will have to leave instructions for writing it all to tape.

It’s mostly automated exploit finders looking for low hanging fruit. fail2ban and up to date software is your friend.

Don’t remember the cost, but namecheap is not a lie. It’s cheap, hazzle free, and overall a great service. I have quite a few domains with them.

Is it data you would trust in the hands of random strangers on the internet? If so, I can easily store 50TB for you, as long as it’s temporary.

Oh, and I have various storage solutions in various jurisdictions, so if you have any preferences as to places you do NOT want to store it, that’s something you need to hilight.

I was in the same boat, so I’ll leave you with this golden nugget you probably want to check out:

Fuckit, if anything more fancy than HTML + CGI is needed, there’s always VRML.

…holy shit, it just dawned on me… VRML + CGI? Today’s PCs should have no issue rendering it, and server-side should be the same as any other CGI page. I gotta do some experimenting with this.

UPDATE: I actually did some research into this, and the possibilities are actually quite extensive. In theory it should be possible to make an extremely basic multiplayer FPS game.

Fortran. At least it was comprehensible to a human brain once upon a time. And probably efficiently written.

Torrent available when?

I don’t do CSS, so all I see is <td colspan=“3”>

Yup. And the official training books are still a great resource for learning everything from the basics to more advanced stuff.

I bought an updated set a couple of years ago, and they still hold up.

It is? I always wrote labels that way, so that the sensitive part could face down in the storage box.
