Again, not completely finished and yes I do need to buy some smaller, correct-length patch cables... but the sides are now on the new server closet, and things are working quite nicely!
Fun thing? I was listening to Jazz while putting things together today. I felt a little like I was in @CraftComputing's world there for a second.
Yes, I need to fix the cable length. I know. I feel so bad about it.
But the reality is that our two 45-drive units need to be back in the rack and operational by tomorrow evening, so that I can use them on Monday when everyone starts back at work :)
Done!
Was delayed by 20min by an unexpected guest bringing gifts! It took me a few minutes to find the recommended settings that needed to be added to nginx to harden the proxy service there. Otherwise, was easy as always. Updated apt packages at the same time. My PG database backup is now 330MB as opposed to 100MB when I started back in March. Increasing by about 2MB per day. The REDIS backup is only 16MB.
My upgrade procedure is in the attached image. #selfhost#MastoAdmins#upgrade#v4.1.4
I have an unprivileged LXC container that no longer starts correctly after the upgrade. The #network bridge device lxcbr0 appears to not get created automatically as it did before. Creating it manually lets the container start, but without actual network connectivity.
It's probably something relatively simple, but I haven't had time to dig into it much. #Annoying.
I'm planning to upgrade my PC and have been looking at various components.
One thing I found weird was why people want transparent sides (and even fronts) on their PC cases? There are also what amounts to disco lights you can install in the case (usually included on fans it seems).
What is the fascination with being able to look at a disco going on inside your computer???
Pretty shure a low power yet #64bit version may have it's merits in #embedded and #automation, espechally if it could be hooked up directly to 5V without need to step-down...
Not shure if it could compete with the @Raspberry_Pi#PiPico (W) unless there's some substantial demand for #DIP40 ir as drop-in #upgrade...
You may have seen the announcement that mastodon.social is now "upgrading to a nightly build". This means that it is regularly releasing the latest and greatest version.
And you may be wondering if this is unique, or something special that only Eugen can do? The answer is no, the same version is available for all instances to upgrade to as frequently as they want.
Lot's of improvements rolling out. Exciting times.
I just published a short guide explaining how to upgrade PostgreSQL 🐘 from version 14 to 15 on Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) 🦞 after upgrading it from version 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) 🐐
We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Giant Rhubarb" 2023.04. The highlights of this release are
The Mastodon compatible API of Friendica was improved,
Drag and Drop functionality was added to the Frio theme for image attachments, and
Christian Pöschl from usd AG reported a XSS fulnurability in a javascript dependency in the gallery of the Frio theme that was fixed.
What is Friendica?
Friendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr.
