The authoritative DNS server for pvv.ntnu.no is still a MicroVAX II from the late 1980s. It runs an (up-to-date, I think) NetBSD. Logging in by SSH takes several minutes, even with SSH v1.
- olemartinorg 11y agoSounds just like the kind of half-crazy stuff NTNU students do when you give them some time to tinker. I heard a story from Samfundet where they were displeased with the speed of their key/value database for some payment processing stuff, so they replaced it with BIND. Even though the thing is old, I'm guessing the uptime is not that impressive?
- CaptSpify 11y agoDo you have a source for that? I'd be interested in seeing how they did it
- hucker 11y agoHe's probably refering to itkacl, which we use for authorization/acls (not payments). The README (and the code) can be found here: https://git.sesse.net/?p=itkacl;a=blob;f=README;h=3dcb059f306140838f22dd6fd8541a5a9e5a26b8;hb=HEAD https://git.sesse.net/?p=itkacl;a=blob;f=README;h=3dcb059f30...

- digi_owl 11y agoLet me guess, they could have it if they removed it from its original location themselves?
