Can a 2001 Sun SPARC server host a website in 2026?

@humanhorseshoes oh my! How do Pentium chips vanish?

@darkosubotica the truck SIM card sending SMS messages either went out of coverage, the unit in the machine failed or needed a reboot etc

[steffeng@hachyderm.io]

@darkosubotica I see what you did here

[soviut@hachyderm.io]

@darkosubotica It's literally called a "server" and it's from 2001, in time for the first dot com crash. I'd be more surprised if it COULDN'T host a website!

These were the halcyon days for web servers that probably cost $30,000 brand new.

@steffeng We're all 486

[darkosubotica@hachyderm.io]

@soviut the challenge here is making sure the OS and the stack is new enough to be exposed to the scary portion of the internet!

[soviut@hachyderm.io]

@darkosubotica Yeah, great article!

By the way, you left some PII on the one chip

[darkosubotica@hachyderm.io]

@soviut that must be from the previous owners! Oddly the chip had no thermal paste once I opened it up!

@darkosubotica @humanhorseshoes Like a truckload of clogs vanish. https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/bedrock-sandals-stolen/

@markstos @darkosubotica more useful than a pile of intel crap

@darkosubotica reminds me, I have a SPARC stored in the attic. Should try this

[darkosubotica@hachyderm.io]

@collectifission yes you should!
