Hello Björn!

 If you remove the hostnames that return "hostname not found", and then reduce
 the set by removing duplicates, only 665 remain.

 You should use what feels good to you. Yesterday I decided to make a new
 batch file for a service I may setup. As a start I took an old one that
 had some of the functionality I wanted. To my surprise I had put the date
 when the tool was built into the header of the file, 18-01-1994.

 The conclusion is that the basic setup of my node is about 21 years old.
 I recently moved this same setup to a RaspberryPi, that now has a happy life
 as 2:280/5006. The software it runs started its life on a minicomputer,
 a Sun, or a pdp11.
