Mike the Server Monkey here. As y= 'all probably know, I migrated all of our infrastructure to two cloud provi= ders back in July. Not without a few hiccups, mind ya, but obviously = I've got it sorted out now. Thanks for your patience there. Si= nce then, we've been trying to unload all of our old hardware. The [old Fark firewalls are here on eBay now](3D") and [t= he rest of the Fark equipment is still for sale on this page](3D". I'd= reeeeeally like the 19" rack cabinet out of my garage, but don't have a ve= hicle to transport it with.... Back in July, [one of you requested](3D" "I am interested in purchasing some of yo= ur old hardware only to watch you destroy it in an uploaded video, Think "O= ffice Space." I know it'll be therapeutic and no one has to pay for shippin= g." Well, as it turns out, some of the stuff is just too old to sell= - Core 2 Quad Q6600 systems from 2006. Two of the motherboards died,= one in January and one in June, and part of why I rushed through the cloud= migration so fast in the first place is out of fear the other identical bo= ards would die soon. So there wasn't much point in trying to sell 13-= year-old unreliable gear. (The stuff we are still selling is somewhat= newer, and still works great.) So, to make a short story way too lo= ng, on Sunday, those antique servers went to a very remote spot in a zero-s= toplight coal town in rural Appalachia, and got introduced to a sledgehamme= r and four video cameras. We'll recycle the scraps unless anyone want= s some mangled motherboard parts as Christmas tree ornaments. (My wif= e kept one southbridge heatsink for that.)
