Distribution
Endemic to Cyprus, locally common on the Troödos range.
gollark: Loud rack servers instead of... also loud tower servers, VMs instead of containers, Windows instead of Linux, bizarrely convoluted nested reverse proxies for some reason, old PHP/ASP applications instead of my shinier Node/Python ones, sort of thing.
gollark: I have a friend who's also into the whole servers-at-home thing, but made basically opposite technical decisions to me.
gollark: VMs do seem to be a major source of RAM wastage.
gollark: The only stuff I do which actually needs most of my server's available RAM/computing power is... Minecraft servers and video transcoding.
gollark: I feel like most people just waste RAM and sometimes CPU resources like crazy.
