The end of external
external is the box that, for the past 1836 days, hosted everything dp.cx related. This included mail, web, ftp, ssh, ntp, bittorrent, dns, irc, silc, svn, git, mysql, postgresql, and many others. Not too bad for a Celeron 2.0GHz. This last uptime beat the old record:

Notice that the percentage uptime is 99.789%. This box was hosted in Tampa, FL. When you consider that, over the last 5 years, there have been several world record hurricanes, the uptime is astounding. This box has been good to me, and to many others. I’ve no idea what will happen to the actual hardware when it’s all said and done, but I wish it the best
