Tor Up and Running

It turns out that the power supply itself on the old server was not defective. The power cord was the cause of the problem. I plugged it into the wall with a different cable just to be absolutely sure… and it fired right up. I lost my “reliable” status, but I should have that back again within a few days. I’ve also upped my alocated bandwidth to a full 5 mb/s, so I’ll be helping out even more.

Yet Another Server Failure

July 6th, 2009

My Tor server just went offline(power supply failure). So much for the free Tor t-shirt :P

I could probably repair the system, but it was made around 10 years ago.  It’s served me well enough, but I’m not going to resuscitate it. On the downside, I now am basically required to build/purchase a new computer. I’m planning on using a Fit2 PC as the new Tor server, since it has more than enough CPU power for the job. All of my other spare systems are out of commission.  Oh well.
