but at least you won't ever have to worry again about getting hacked and having your computers compromised. It's like when our neighbor burned his house down this summer. I no longer live in a state of anxiousness about my closest neighbor burning his house down.
This is... not reassuring.
I pay a company called Linode $20 a month to run a telnet BBS
Well, that seems sensible; they have $5 plans and it's not like I need anything hugely sophisticated. Of course, it denies one the 80s ideal of getting out of bed in your underwear, turning and planting your feet on the floor, lighting a cigarette and answering a chat request to grant access to some 12-year-old newb who is no closer to getting laid than you are. Not that I would do any of that (except granting access), but one must have the authentic experience.
that nobody goes to.
And that's the other half of the equation, I have little time or desire to promote this thing, and if you can't get callers, who says I will?
Still, bad idea as it is, better to do the Linode thing than a box at home? You know, I have this PS/2 model 30/286, not sure if it works...
