This is the main reason why I moved to FreeBSD. Too much non-sense going into linux.

There's always LFS.
You may be surprised.
For starters, quite a few people use a RaspberryPi to support a web interface for their online weather station.
They are also being used as FLARM interface servers to connect the software FLARM receiver to the main display server but I don't know whether this set-up uses bash or exposes it to exploitation.

Please don't feed the any of the dozen different names the troll is posting under. Filter on the organization header.

What, filter all eternal september users?
It would be start. :-)
Hmmm.

Interesting. Any suggestions for a cheap Usenet service that doesn't get this kind of blanket treatment? My old Usenet service was killed off some time ago.
You can access the groups d'usenet on here.
Also, I find Giganews to be very reasonable. I pay only $7.99 per month for as much as I want. Of course, I do only access the C.S.A2.* and one Verilog group, but I can do more if I wanted to.

Eternal September is a good service - it may be populated by trolls, spammers and so on, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I've been using it for a few years now and it's been very reliable and stable - and at a very affordable price - ie. 0. (Although that's probably why it may be populated with trolls, spammers, etc.!)
But if you have to filter, there are better things to filter on than the posting service.
I've not personally seen evidence of my own messages being filtered, however who knows. However from my point of view, it's not my loss.

Another ES user here, and never had a problem so far.

One reason I still have my snail-speed DSL with Earthlink... (the other is that I'm permitted up to 8 distinct email addresses -- not forwarding to one mailbox, truly independent mailboxes; each with a web-space allotment)
Granted, Earthlink has subcontracted to Giganews for the server function rather than maintaining their own (both news.east.earthlink.net and news.west.earthlink.net now connect to the same Giganews server)

The Organization header isn't from Eternal September but instead is client- or in this case user-modified (ie. you set it to "A noiseless patient Spider").
I use
Errm. Yes it is. That's what you get if you _don't_ override Eternal September's default.
If that's the case then this post won't have the spider in the header.
But it did. This one doesn't. Same client, same settings, different server.
Oh really! Sorry. I didn't think to investigate, thought "A noiseless patient Spider" surely couldn't be any official Org header...
Pretty sure that's forced by eternal-september )-:
(ie. it appears on my ES posts too and I've not set it anywhere)

I'll second the recommendation for news.individual.net.
