imagine what it'll be like when you get a """real setup""" going (J/K!) where
you are in a "crash me, crash you" configuration such that pkts and tics/files
are processed immediately on arrival... my old system used to process mail once
an hour before it became a tier 1 mail hub... it spent a lot of time processing
mail... especially since it was also only 800Mhz... my new setup processes the
mail and files as soon as they come in... "WOW!" doesn't even begin to cover
the experiance of seeing messages come in, being fully processed, and sent out
to all my linked systems in less than 30 seconds... i have some stats around
here somewhere that i need to figure out how to process and look at in a more
human readable format...
i haven't seen changes in speed like that since going from a 486-40 to a 200mhz
pentium ii and then again from the pii to 800mhz whatever cpu i was running...
that system didn't want to come back up after Hurricane Florence came through
here so i had a choice... stay offline or set up a new system... i finally
decided to make another VM and install a new setup there... it is ubuntu server
18.04 LTS with no GUI crap on it... i ended up choosing synchronet BBS (aka
sbbs) for the job over a few others that i had looked at... it has performed
admirably here and as i get more used to it, i can contribute fixes back
upstream or make mods available for others if they want them... i couldn't
really do that before... plus it gives me something to do during this downtime
until the weather clears and construction jobs come back to life...

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it
