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?
[lisp](+ 1 2 3)[/lisp]
shows as (+ 1 2 3) ==> 6. In a sense how IRC bots to run code with !perl s/dsa/dfga/gi syntax e.g., but for BBS posts. It could spice up the postings here.
>>22 checked. I second the request. It's painstaking for me to check all these dubs. I need automated assistance on the server side.

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.
