If you're thinking about your background process, and you look up and see a new moon, that means it's time to donate, if you feel like it. Don't be dissuaded from using the service if you don't. Type "donate" for more information. Type "chat" to automatically connect to the the chatroom (IRC oldnode.mooo.com #bitcoinshells channely keyword might be k to stop spam). Type /quit to exit chat. NO 100% CPU PROCESSES! They will be killed! If you must, run cputhrottle /path/to/your/program and its arguments and it will be throttled automatically. Multiple throttled processes may still be excessive. The primary IP address is 92.222.41.125. IRC ports are probably blocked on IPv6. If you're using a random high port number, you can bind to 0.0.0.0 . There is really no need to bind to a specific IP address unless it is a common port number like 6667 and you want to be nice instead of a hog and not bind to all the IP addresses on the system, so that those ports remain free on the other IP addresses for other users to use. The password that you use here should be different than what you use for anything else that's important. Assume that the system is compromised and any password you enter is logged. The same goes for shady image hosting websites and similar. The mail system should be working now. MAIL DIRECTORY IS NOW ~/Maildir . mutt -f ~/Maildir lets you read your email. Please test POP3 & IMAP! The system is running on Linux RAID 1 on only one hard drive. The other one is failed, but I think someone sabotaged it through software, and there is nothing actually wrong with the hard drive hardware itself. I can reinstall the system from a backup if someone roots the system and sobatages it, but if they break the hardware I'm not sure what I can do. If someone wants to donate a SCSI-80 or SATA hard drive that would be fine. This isn't really a battle that I can win. Flash drives can be destroyed by repeated writes. All RAID controllers that I know of allow direct access of the devices so they can't protect a hard drive from sabotage. Want to write a custom firmware for a RAID controller? I think that would be a good solution but it would cost over 4 figures of USD. I could just rely on 5 year warranty hard drives, but still sending it back and all that is a lot of trouble and the postage isn't free. We survived OVH France's SBG3 facility fire damage!
