There's 450GB of free space, a fairly powerful Xeon processor, and a 1Gb/s line...
Post here ideas to implement to use the resources/bandwidth, so I can promptly ignore all of them and forget to check this board for another 5 months.
Consider this list before suggesting:
o I won't run a Tor exit node (I2P might be fine if I can jail the Java instance enough) o No file uploading / caches of material, I don't want to deal with the issues that brings (security, DoS, legal, etc) o I'm not giving out shell accounts or setting up user-accessible VPNs
I'd be happy to lend out computational resources, I can write some shitty daemon that takes code and compiles it and runs jobs in the background and stores the results somewhere. You're also welcome to write your own daemons that waste bandwidth, processing power and disk space as they attempt infinite compression.
Think more programming oriented things, less stuff you could get from libgen or a random FTP server.

>>2 Any type of shell account allows people to upload files if they have enough time to waste trying to do so.
I suppose I could wipe the virtual machines daily, but then is there even a point?
>>1 How about you set up a virtual environment with most popular programming languages available as bbcode?

I'd love to play Infon battle arena[1] with all you goys, but Lua sucks and squirrel is infinitely better.
Either way, I'd love to have private and/or semi-private git repositories that are only shared with your fellow /prog/riders. [1]http://infon.dividuum.de/
install a postgresql server which we can use collaboratively

>>16 I want to use more resources, not save them. I will never remove the JS from this site, stop asking.
>>18-19,24 Repository hosting has been on my mind for some time, but I fear it will be a pain to set up (and even more of a pain to make sure it's secure). I wouldn't pick git, either. I would probably need to add accounts manually, which limits usability.
>>30,31 I personally use fossil, but I haven't had to set up externally accessible repositories with it yet. Also the web-accessible wiki part of it is... unfavorable. I don't want user-created content to be (web) indexable.
Outside of git, what would be preferred? CVS, SVN, [something else]?
I'm looking into setting up the Scheme thing in >>6 now.

How about a regular Tor node?

1. An imagehoster, upload an image and then link it in your post. 2. Create another board (close it off from the rest of /prog/ maybe) for crazies and then go on godlikeproductions.com and abovetopsecret.com and make threads on there about how those respective sites are CIA-funded and how the real truth can be discussed anonymously on this ``website'' for ``truthers''. Conspiracy theorists, ufos, illuminanti, etc. Maybe just make the imagehoster for them.

>>34 There would be little point for a static IP to act as a relay. >>35 There's plenty of image hosts. Also, not programming related.
I've managed to set up a chrooted svnserve. If anyone wants an SVN account, post the username/password you want, and optionally what you will use the repo for (I won't deny/accept requests based on this, it's just if you want a description for your repo to appear anywhere). Feel free to only encrypt your password. Just gen a random password and don't use this password for anything else since these are stored in cleartext by svnserve for whatever reason.
Virtual jukebox. People can upload music they like and if the majority of us like it then it will be added to a selection of music that the majority likes and will be played to everybody as they browse and post.
Gtk+ 3.2 will let you run any application in a browser thanks to the new HTML5 gdk backend. That means you'll be able to run GIMP, Gedit, a video editor or whatever, remotely (or on the same computer), using a web browser. Just imagine the possibilities!"

What about a /prog/ torrent tracker? That way, files aren't stored on the server, and there are no file caches either, because you can just offer magnet links instead of the actual torrent files.
To commit, the username is 'anon', and the password is the name for a user of this site (just read the README.txt if you're too retarded to figure that out).
If you want your own private repository, just put in a request using the public key I posted above.
It's chrooted and should be alright, but let me know if there are issues.

community seed box for sharing SICP videos VoIP for community party lines Touhou replay archive (written in Ruby for maximum Japanese and resource usage) that aborted anonymous social network that leegun tried to make project that gets DNA samples from /prog/ users and uses them to find the genes that express for autism, pedophilia, Down's syndrome, morbid obesity, early baldness, and sociopathy UUDP server to interface with this board MindForth (Mentishit needs root access for administration though) Free email accounts for underprivileged people of blackness with AIDS in Ebolaland who still lack access Network the IRC into EFnet
Actually, are these videos in the public domain? I will host them if so.
UUDP server to interface with this board
No only because I'd have to touch the Perl codebase and I have nightmares for months each time I try to do that.
Network the IRC into EFnet
The IRCd I wrote doesn't support multiple servers. And I don't think I want it to either way since I'd have to provide a lot of information about connections to other servers that aren't in my control. Right now it's as anonymous and as minimal as it can be. There's barely any people using it anyway.

Is this suggestion related to >>89 at all? If so, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with programming. It seems like the old /prog/ was a lot better for actually caring about code. If having a world where everything is created and governed by the code you write isn't sufficiently motivating, I'd say /prog/ is deadder than Ableson's fat schlong.

>>107 Cmon, you're really going to let one cock in your anus keep you away? But in any case, >>106 was a parody of the official /prog/ health report in >>103. Just chillax and start a thread about scheme.
