August 1 2017 marks the day I stop colocating a box at a data centre.<\/p>\n
\n[byte@hogwarts ~]$ uptime<\/p>\n
22:07:55 up 522 days, 19:40, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This particular box has been in the data centre from 2008. It survived one data centre bankruptcy<\/a> (Jaring), moved along to another, and now I feel the box is to be replaced by a few instances at Linode<\/a>, Digital Ocean<\/a>, and also DreamHost<\/a>.<\/p>\n
This marks my last CentOS 5 box. This marks the last time I will deal with MySQL 5.0.95. <\/p>\n
The box wasn’t too bad either (though woefully out of warranty). It was a Dell 1U box. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3210 @ 2.13GHz, 4 cores. Paltry 4GB of RAM. Did mail, web, DNS, and a few other bits, quite well. 2 spinning disks, RAID setup, 500GB storage. Its still healthy ([UU] in
\/proc\/mdstat<\/code>). <\/p>\nAs soon as I get it back, I’ll spin it up at the office, pop on some newer version of Linux and see how long it continues serving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
