Do not be mistaken by its looks for 'tis nothing but a FreeBSD virtual machine running inside of a VMWare instance. And the nasty bit of information is the fact that the underlying OS is... get ready for it... it is Windows 10 Home. And before you ask, no it's not changing anytime soon. And I won't apologize to anyone for the same. Das ist mein server and I'll host it however I please to host it.
As the only backup machine, I'm not allowed to change its pre-installed OS. Doesn't matter how fucked up the current state of the OS is, I'm not allowed to change it. But I also can't bear the sight of an unused and neglected piece of good hardware being covered with dust and rotting in front of my eyes. Hence it is what it is.
Since I'm away from home, physical maintenance of the machine isn't a possibility for me either. But I assure you that Ariel (the VM) is well maintained and kept well up to date. Even though the entire web stack is hand compiled from source, I make sure to update to the latest versions of the pillars holding this website up.
