# Skynet: Introduction
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Skynet is the UL Computer Society's computer cluster.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Has a long history: <<https://2016.skynet.ie/history.html>>.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Older than the Society. (1992 vs 1994)
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
But alas good things always come to an end.

|
Due to //A Series of Unfortunate Events// we lost internet in Jan 2023
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Turns out Wordpress got Wordpress'd and we had a //smol// spam problem.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ITD also wanted us to have all servers patched and up to date.
|
|
|
|

|
# Skynet 3.0
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Gave us a chance to do a full rebuild.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Servers were delved Indiana Jones style.
