We have a 22 year old version of RedHat 4. It works fine and is reliable but has problems with out dated security.

Exactly that. Years ago my town suffered a complete power outage. I lived close to a hospital and therefore on their power grid. I got electricity back but nothing else worked. No mobile phone signal, no internet. I can’t remember if the TV broadcasting was down or not. But I ended up just going to bed. I should have gone for a walk as I never would see the town in such darkness again.

I still have a Reddit account but I’ve not logged in since the API business. I really don’t miss it.

Was it a lucky trade?

I’ve lost count of the amount of times my terminal has been referenced as being the matrix. Hasn’t happened much since WFH though.
