Anonymous Gopher Update 10/31/23

Previously, your IP was logged by the system's rsyslog server... but
that is no longer the case. At the behest of a friend, who noted that
people who care about anonymity *care about log files*, I took a few
minutes and updated the rsyslog.conf, filtering out messages relating
to the redcon user. Now, no IP is recorded on connect or disconnect,
nor is anything recorded in the logs at all during the course of the
session.
This change only impacts the redcon user. All other hacking attempts
are logged (I know because they were streaming by as I was testing).
This, of course, doesn't matter at all, because I'm not watching the
logs anyway. If you're in the mood to attempt to hack in, knock
yourself out (that's part of the fun of placing a system on the
internet).
Visit the Red Consensus on gopher[1] if you want to know more.
