Running FreeBSD 10 on Dell blade server with VIA Nano U2250 (1.6GHz), 2 GB ECC RAM, 500GB Seagate Laptop Hybrid HDD with 8GB MLC NAND SSD cache and 64MB DRAM cache. Hosted in Iliad DC3, Paris, by online.net.
Follows the general naming scheme of naming my computers after catastrophic events caused by human error. For more information about the LZ 129 "Hindenburg", see here. As of 2017-??? hindenburg's only disk has failed and the "new" server is a used Hetzner machine running much of the same on much more overpowered hardware. A study in minimalism, foiled by spinning rust. The new machine has RAID-1 at least, and has been running on the same two hard disks ever since I ordered it in 2017. Somehow I have bad luck with Seagate disks.
inferno.barfooze.de is running FreeBSD 14 on a Hetzner box I got used from serverboerse.de. Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 16GB RAM, 2x 3TB Western Digital harddisks. Counterintuitively and despite being an x86_64 space heater, it has not burned down yet.
Quite a long list for such a low-powered machine, part of the reason for this is that I want to see how much I can actually run here with reasonable performance
It turns out a small, slow VIA blade server is enough to run a long list of internet services at reasonable speed as long as the software is optimized and written with efficiency in mind (i.e. not Spring Framework and the like). The extra performance doesn't hurt but I could run 10 times the services on the "new" machine (2012 era hardware, not certified for use with Windows 11 lol) without a problem. Unsure why people keep supporting the unholy alliance of a Microsoft subscription service and hardware vendors. The vendors sell you a faster computer, for which Microsoft compensates by making the software slower. Ideally you add in an Oracle database for which you have to pay license fees for each CPU core. Just run Linux, *BSD or another Free operating system and PostgreSQL. Bonus points because it doesn't steal your data, serves you ads or tries to upsell you some bullshit cloud subscription that will bankrupt your company.
