Linux shells for people
who still live on IRC.
You get a real command line. We eat the DDoS and the sysadmin work. Ident, vhosts, screen/tmux, the boring parts of staying connected — already handled.
$./services
What people actually pay us for. If you wanted Kubernetes we would have said so.
Linux shells
SSH into a box that is not your laptop. Run Eggdrop, ZNC, irssi, weechat, scripts, whatever belongs on a shell.
Eggdrop hosting
Most of the business. Self-managed on a shell, or a managed bot with no config. Channel still there after you sleep.
ZNC
Modern bouncer. Web panel, playback, stays on the network when the laptop lid closes.
psyBNC
The old one. Still requested. Still runs. If you know why you want it, you do not need a paragraph.
Vanity vhosts
Real IPv4 and IPv6 with amusing PTRs. Show up as loves.lamer.net, not dhcp-pool-3.isp.example.
DDoS network
This community gets attacked. Protection is why people stay, not a badge at the bottom of a datasheet.
$why-not-your-own-box
You can run IRC off a VPS under a desk. Plenty of people do, until they do not.
Home IP is not a hosting plan
Power blips, ISP “maintenance”, roommate unplugging the switch. A shell is supposed to outlive your session.
Someone will flood you
Channel takeovers still happen. So do packet cannons aimed at whoever is opped. We sit in front of that.
You want a hostname that is not your ISP
identd that answers. PTR that does not dox the cable modem. The boring infrastructure IRC still quietly requires.
Not babysitting crontabs at 3am
Disks die. Kernels want patching. You wanted a bot in #chan, not a second unpaid sysadmin job.
$whois kire
Same crowd, same protocols, fewer animated GIFs. IRC-friendly Linux hosting before “cloud” was a slide. We are still here because the bots are still here.
$./login
Existing customers use the client area. New orders go to the cart. There is no “book a demo.”
