the Youtube video about this server was just released last night - which is hopefully more interesting than just the rather short blog post.

curl started from an irc bot in the 1990s

Thanks for mentioning, that is our video and this raq talked about here is one we restored :)

Yeah its a shame and wasn't our intended way to get this out to the world.. unfortunately in modern times, botnets and script kiddies had other plans and this server was on the receiving end of a lot of crap after the last Youtube video where we announced it being online.

Unfortunately due to a huge volume of spam and bot attacks, we have to turn on maximum Cloudflare settings. Otherwise the server simply can't stay online with the current interest level.

Hey, site admin here. The server got overloaded! we'll try to reboot it and bring it back

  bash# w
  sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

While the RaQ 3 had an x86 cpu, it doesn't have a normal PC bios. completely custom board and firmware made for booting a linux kernel which I think would be very-challenging near impossible to boot Windows on.
