listera is probably our oldest server. our install dates at least from
2012, but the hardware itself is rumored to be as old as 2007, a whopping
13 years ago. it has all sorts of problems from nagios complaining about
fans to weird hardware requirements (see the `proliant` class in puppet
for an example).
decomissioning that server would simplify our work and remove a possibly
unreliable point of failure from the infrastructure.
according to LDAP, it is part of the www.tpo, archive.tpo and media.tpo
rotations, and is possibly a nameserver.
it might be worth rebuilding a server like this in a completely unrelated
location, since it's one of those precious machines that does not live
inside an existing cluster.
