So... What was a test is now turned into a fixed thing....

Running a 12 year old, pretty complex webshop on a windows server 2003, virtualized on a 300$ laptop, running windows 8.1 home.

So far, not a single hickup. The laptop has been running for over 3 month now without crashing or any other unwanted behaviour. Added to that, the webshop used to be hosted on a fixed ip and is now done with dyndns, hosted at a private home and so far, not a single issue.

Am I just being lucky or is all of this unreliable stuff actually really reliable?

Don't know, but notice how they lined them up so the lid can't close... Cause you cant tell it to not turn off when that happens..

>>60813633
Why???
>>
>>60813801
You know when you want to keep something alive even though you know its dead... Cause some people still rely on it? That's kinda why.. Also its kinda like keeping a fax machine alive..

>using macbooks as servers

this seems like a colossal waste of money
>>
>>60813700
you're fucking joking...

right???

You really can't tell it to ignore lid being shut on a macpro? Even my shit dell can do that, on gnome.

They're used to test software on OS X.

The lids are kept open with a custom-printed part for thermal considerations.

I mean a processor isn't going to flake if that's what you mean.

I do wonder what will happen if you get hit with a power outage, or if your hard drive dies, or something similar.

I do too.. Right now its a weekly back up of the vhd

Fuuuck I hope you never have a hdd failure and need information about the last few days orders
>>
>>60814010
I mean, it's on you to decide if that's enough backup. There is a such thing as over-engineering a solution. Is all the information on that laptop or is it in the cloud?

Also, maybe dropbox or another cloud storage for that VHD?

>>60813633
I always told my guys to try and test things best you could because how often the test becomes production.

>>60813633
Your point?

Using laptops are servers, specially cheap home servers, has been a thing for decades.
