Heh yeah, totally.

The only Perl I use these days is oooooooold software (MRTG) I guess with the exception of Spam Assassin and RT...

Man - MRTG... I just had flashbacks to my youth. Loved that piece of software and used it for close to a decade!

Anymore Grafana backed by InfluxDB w/Telegraf is my jam for the same general problem set (TIG stack).

Yeah, I probably should update things but honestly if I'm going to do that I'm just going to write my own poller/scheduler and be done with it.

RRD is pretty efficient so I don't have much need to change.

Ugh. Spam Assassin is so astronomically inefficient and power hungry, that there should be a cryptocurrency based on Proof of Spam Assassination.

Hah! You don't know how right you are...

> there should be a cryptocurrency based on Proof of Spam Assassination

Did you know that the blocking proof-of-work algorithm in Bitcoin today, derives from the Hashcash proof-of-work algorithm, which was originally designed to prove you are not a spammer!!

Be careful, "Spam on the Blockchain" will become a thing.
