I’ve worked for big companies in the past where mission critical cron jobs were run on a Linux vm running off an old little desktop tucked away on a benchtop in the corner that no one ever noticed. Done to bypass various network controls to allow us to fix problems as they popped up. Absolute cowboy stuff, but effective.
- winrid 3y agoOne place I worked at had some data science stuff that pulled data from prod on a cron and re-uploaded the results every day, on some core2duo in the back of the office. AFAIK it was still being used in 2017 and might still be lol. It was a pretty powerful machine because someone got it to see how much money he could get the company to spend.
