The Bad ServerOps Handbook

  1. Today is another chance to break something.

  2. If you aren't reconfiguring Apache or Nginx at least once
     per day, you're wrong.

  3. Anything is a server, the Optiplexes at Goodwill, the PDS
     workstations in the middle school basement, the free-tier
     Oracle VPSes, and PS2s running Linux.

  4. If it can run Linux, it can run Apache.

  5. If you're not hosting Gopher, you aren't living.

  6. Run as many services as you can.

  7. Purchase all hardware you find.

  8. Mainframes are fun, but impractical. That means you should
     use them.
