[18:00:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, naw. random.org
[18:01:18] <mechanicjay> dear lord -- I just found a cluster Pentium D based webservers running in some researchers rack.
[18:01:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> if anyone actually wanted to they could take you to court if you change the rules mid-contest.
[18:02:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, noice. they still work though, yeah?
[18:02:27] <mechanicjay> Uh, they're running and all redirect to a dead external resource.
[18:02:43] <mechanicjay> So, they "work" for some lose definition of the term.
[18:03:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> excellent. shut em down to save power and see if anyone notices.
[18:03:16] <mechanicjay> Only one of them had their alarm light blinking slowly in the darknesss.
[18:03:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> or coopt them as build boxes
[18:05:06] <mechanicjay> Have to contact the researcher and see if these are still being used -- they're "self managed" not run by central IT, so we're pretty hands off that stuff.
[18:05:49] <mechanicjay> I was prompted to scan all our subnets for running webservers I didn't know about after reading this article: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com
[18:05:50] <upstart> ^ 03Server? What server? Site forgotten for 12 years attracts hacks, fines – Naked Security
[18:06:14] <mechanicjay> It's like, yeah in Academia, stuff can run forgotten for a VERY long time.
[18:15:44] <mechanicjay> Besides, I'm not sure the 1KW+ of power I'd burn building on these things would be any faster than just building on my quad core xeon workstation.

[18:20:33] <Ellenor> LMAO
[18:21:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, s'why i said shut em off and see if anyone bitches. best way to find out if they're actually being used. if you ask they'll say yes regardless, thinking they can use them for something else maybe and then never getting around to it.
