shutdown -p now

Shutting down servers. Yesterday I powered off my FreeBSD box that was running VPN, NTP, and torrents. Its fate from now on — a spare workstation, because after I leave, no one here needs a Unix box. Today I’m shutting down and archiving the virtual machines — Squid, Apache, TS. Archived images will take up less space, and who knows — maybe their time will come again someday. And there’s this feeling in my chest — sad, hollow, and bitter. So much time and effort put into this small fleet of machines — and none of it needed by anyone, none of it appreciated.
