anyone else felt the impending finger slice in that photo? case looks pissed and out for flesh.

not only is noscript your general browsing prophylactic, but it will often render js paywalls climbable. I have no other plugin as loved and as useful as noscript - immediate install on any firefox instance.

depending on specs it will be a little power hungry, but a good virtualization platform.

yes, the power supplies are likely redundant and the server will complain if they are not both powered.

it will use a VGA connection, but you should be ale to find cheap VGA monitors or cheap adapters.

RAID controllerfor those drives? how many processors and cores? how much RAM? what OS are you planning on running on it? iDRAC included? (if so, likely idrac6, but still usable)

this hardware is very well supported by linux - I have used these older servers extensively. your boss was right to be excited for you. its a great exploration platform that you will be able to do lots of things with.

fire up a live linux distro and get detailed specs on the box - that will guide what you can play with right away.

this is next level insanity and I am in awe.

pretty much. learning things without a corresponding “oh… shit.” moment, just never quite stick with you the same way.

quassel and quasseldroid. its client-server, always on irc connectivity but does require a little setup.

you can access irc servers (if acceptable) and the quassel daemon via Tor. might just change the way you think about irc.

is this before or after the enevitable, obligatory, hair-on-fire microcode security update?

md5 has been broken for years, but thats pretty damn cool scary.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

but seriously, modern FOSS distros (yes, debian is modern, damnit!) are amazingly good. you have an exceptionally high probablility of switching and staying switched.

LMDE - the emergency escape hatch for mint. gotta love the forethought.

exactly. I have been begging multiple ISPs for direct IPv6 allocations for 10+ years now. its always “we are internally testing - not available for distribution yet”. the most recent request from me was less than 3 months ago when I needed a IPv4 /29 for a remote site. figured I would see if I could also get a nice sized IPv6 allocation as well. nope. just gotta keep paying a premium for that dwindling IPv4 address space.

Hurricane Electric is to be commended for their public IPv6 tunnels, but without direct allocations from your immediate upstream, its just play.

there is no fix more permanent than a temporary one.
