Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Windows PECL build machine died

i have a 40-core 128GB RAM server with 1 (and only 1) static ipv4 address
that I intend to keep around until at least 27 november 2025 (but unsure
after that),
it has more RAM/CPU than i need, and i could set up a virtual machine on it
and give VNC access to the VM in the form of
> ssh -L 9999:localhost:3389 user@ip
then point a RDP/VNC client to localhost:9999
i can dedicate individual TCP ports to it, but not any of 22, 80, 443,
5900,  5901, 8083, 9999, 587, 2525
(after which i can recommend Teamviewer for a more comfortable access)

but the server has several caveats:
- it's un-raided, rolling just a single 1TB SSD, if that SSD was to die,
everything on it would be lost, and it would probably take days to replace
the drive.
- it's located in a somewhat unstable environment, occasional power outage,
it was out on 30 june, 23 june, 27 january, and in 2021 was down on 30
august. (it boots up and recovers automatically, but it has a reboot time
of roughly 300 seconds until ssh responds again)
- I can not offer a dedicated IP (but can offer some dedicated ports)
- May be decommissioned after 27-11-2025

If that sounds like a good idea, I'll want a ssh public key.
