Changed VPS location, OS, super-server daemon
November 19th, 2025
----------------------------------------
I decided to finally ditch my very last Alpine Linux machine, which also
happens to be the VPS which powers my gopher hole, over to Chimera...
While I was at it I changed the VPS location from the Dallas metro area
to the Washington D.C. metro area to get lower ping times... Plus it
makes it that much easier for our paedophile president to pull the plug
on me for posting seditious and/or terrorist content. yay
Chimera Linux does not have an inetd, and it sure as hell doesn't need
one... I once lamented in the distro IRC channel that the lack of inetd
was holding me back from switching from Alpine, this was a mistake.
Chimera does have cronie and ncat, the combination of which allows
@reboot crontab entries to be damn near the same as /etc/inetd.conf
entries.
That's it for now, if you're reading this, you're already connecting to
the new server.
