The JAMmer stream is flaky

For whoever is interested; Our dear beloved server streaming JAM 24/7 is
sadly entering the last round.

This server has kept going for several years now, and these days it's
almost constantly loaded with listeners. It is just a consumer-grade,
cheap (pink!) mini laptop that quite frankly I'm amazed has lasted this
long. The power supply got fried some months ago and had to be replaced,
but other than that it's kept going. Kudos to ASUS for making stuff that
last.

Either way, it has now finally started struggling severely. I suspect
both disk errors and motherboard problems, it can't even boot in regular
mode but requires some manual fiddling to make the services start
properly during boot.

We have experienced some downtime lately and I am afraid we will
continue to do so until I got a hardware replacement. Not entirely sure
what machine I'll use for this, but I'll solve it one way or another.
The JAMmer must live!
