Bro that’s the Reddit server.
A temporary fix for overloaded lemmy.ml servers, via THAIO (Throw-Hardware-At-It Optimisation)…
Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution
laughs in “stay awake even if lid is closed” settings in linux.
How did you get into the Jagex office?
Please use an ethernet cable, you gonna need to keep that connection spotless and WiFi are vulnerable no matter which protocols, better turn it off.
If I may also add install a custom firmware on your router(Rec. Tomato series most updated)/hardware firewall(Rec. pfSense) with a VPS if the network is used for other means, they will help you in the long-term.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Don’t worry comrade, this is a humor community ;) Thanks for the well-intentioned advice though.
Old shitty laptops make good servers. They have a built-in UPS.
I actually ran a moderately active (like 20,000 hits a day) small business site from a laptop for a couple years. Of course one of the first thing I did was put a “SERVER DO NOT SHUT DOWN” sticker on it, and set the power settings so closing the lid did not shut down or sleep the computer. It was a Dell 7000 series with 16GB IIRC, it did great.
Not advertising here, but with this low traffic you could be in a permanent free tier with AWS with all the availability guarantees. It doesn’t work with EC2, but for serverless solutions (ApiGateway, Lambda, DynamoDB) they have something like “we start charging after 1M calls per month” (don’t quote me on this exact number). I have a couple of pet projects working this way
Just pop the magnet out of the lid.
This is the correct, cross platform solution. It works on all operating systems!
I have a minecraft server running on a laptop like this. Sadly I don’t have any friends that want to play minecraft right now ):
