Unused server resources to give away

[myselfolli]

So yeah, the title says it all...

 

It's a server with an i7-6700, 64GB RAM and 2TB of HDD storage. I really only use it for my cloud and some websites at the moment. It's runnning Ubuntu 18.04. It's located in a datacenter in Helsinki with 1Gb/s up and down.

If you have any projects, that could benefit from the resources (even game servers etc.) hit me up and we can talk about it.

Are you sure you really want to let someone inside? How are you going to keep it secure, away from your files? Are you willing to guarantee some kind of uptime, give support? What happens if someone's data is lost?

 

Just something for you to think about.

And they are good things to think about, no doubt. And something I should've clarified early on: There will be no guaranteed uptime and if there's some data loss... well I'm sorry. But it won't cost you anything, so for a minecraft server for dicking around this wouldn't be bad.

 

I'm just looking for projects to work on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's interesting.

 

I might need a cloud VM in about 2 weeks because my company didn't renew my Visual Studio Enterprise subscription anymore, which includes $150 Azure credits per month. I currently have 2 Azure VMs (WS 2008 and Win10) as test environments for my previous company project, but after that, I shutdown WS 2008, and been using the Win10 one for mining Bitcoin (CryptoTab), browsing and downloading stuff blocked in our office until time comes again that I'll use it for testing purposes. But I can live without the mining part if you don't like that.

 

Are you fine with that?

Alternative options, that I forgot to mention earlier:

- BOINC

- Folding@Home

- Cryptocurrency mining

and other distributed computing solutions. There's also LTT team for first two.

I'm somewhat interested in off-site storage, would prefer to encrypt and rsync - better so over VPN. Roughly 100gb.

If you can't indicate when it's available then it's largely a waste.  There are lots of threads about people wanting to share out their unused bandwidth, ram, etc, but it's not really that practical in your environment.
