Digital Archaeology: We found a server from 1998 that is still online.

Описание: The 1998 Server That Was Never Shut Down: Digital Archaeology
There's a "ghost" operating in the basement of an old data center, and it shouldn't be there. In today's episode, the Archivist investigates one of the most improbable finds in tech history: a 1998 Sun Enterprise server that remained on, silent and forgotten, for almost 30 years.

What happens when a machine survives the Millennium Bug, the Dot-Com bubble, and human oblivion itself? We excavate the directories of GeoPulse, a startup that promised to be the future of Web 1.0, but ended up walled in — literally — by history.
Get ready for a Digital Archaeology journey through Solaris operating systems, Perl code, and a final discovery that proves that not everything that is deleted ceases to exist.
