Okay, after reading this email, I can shut down my computer and change jobs:
'Dear colleague, the fact that our software does not function after 24 hours is perfectly expected. It depends on many dependencies, and we do not have complete control over all of them. For this reason, we suggest, as a standard practice, a service restart every 12 hours. This will ensure everything functions correctly.
And as a general recommendation, we always suggest restarting all services (if you are using Docker) or the entire server (if you are using a traditional setup) every 3 days, as systems tend to get bogged down over time and need to be optimized.'

I recall my first job back in the early 2000s.

"Wow, you haven't had to service any parts on it for several years?"

"We haven't had to restart it for several years."

...

Stefano Marinelli »
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe

@MicrobeRust In 2005, I visited a new client. They had an old Unix server (I don't know which OS was actually running, maybe I saw it but don't remember). The uptime was crazy - last reboot had been in 1986! I couldn't believe my eyes. It was still doing their payslips

Gary Parker »
@WiteWulf@cyberplace.social

@MicrobeRust @stefano towards the end of their run (and yes: I know there are some still running even today!) there were VMS clusters with uptimes measured in decades. As you could take nodes down one at a time in the cluster to perform maintenance, and not lose storage if it was configured properly, you’d only lose uptime through catastrophic failure. Especially when clusters could span WAN links with low enough latency.

TomAoki »
@TomAoki@mastodon.bsd.cafe

@stefano
Looks like the situation when too large kmod is loaded via /boot/loader.conf[.local], means, staging area overflow (actually, truncation). This case, what happenes depends on what was loaded to which point.

What I can imagine right now is that the app is using non-default, external and buggy memory allocator and reuse without re-initialization happenes on code area. But more likely, if the app is scripting-capable, buffer management for scripts sucks and inappropreately merged (mangled) script is run.

The Real Grunfink »
@grunfink@comam.es

"Authorized Fetch", as Mastodon understands it, means a couple of things. Snac requests for actor objects are always signed, so in this context, it does, and by default. Reversely, snac does no require incoming requests for its public objects to be signed.

Related, in snac you can mark an account to be private, so there is no way to retrieve any user post from the web public interface (i.e. you only can request public objects using the ActivityPub protocol).

I'm not sure if this answers your question.

@sqrtminusone Hi Pavel, the BSD Cafe is a place with a positive mood, PRO and not against. This doesn’t mean you can’t disagree with something. I myself sometimes criticize specific choices, methodologies, or situations. What’s important is that things always stay within the realm of expressing your opinion rather than attacking or discriminating against someone. It is perfectly fine to express your opinion (e.g., “I love systemd and would like to see it on BSDs!”) or your discontent (e.g., “I am extremely opposed to the systemd approach”), but not to discriminate against or attack those who use systemd.

I hope I’ve conveyed my idea clearly. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask!

A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.

In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:

Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.

GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.

Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.

Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.

Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.

In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!

My biggest complaint is that, after a few years, the battery is failing, and the device was not made with repairs in mind. The new Libra they offer now claims to have addressed that, making battery repairs feasible.

Long post about web security issues, outdated technology, vulnerabilities, scapegoating [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a developer working on a new site for a mutual client. The message was: "I uploaded the new WordPress and plugins to your hosting (dedicated FreeBSD jail with PHP 8.3, MySQL, etc.), but there seem to be issues. The site is behaving strangely - possibly due to an incompatible plugin. Could you install PHP 7.4 for full compatibility, or consider moving the current development server to production?"

The "development server" is a small VPS with Docker on their infrastructure, where they set everything up without much oversight from me.

I pointed out that installing PHP 7.4 in 2024 is not advisable, as it has been unsupported (including security updates) for quite some time. I suggested upgrading to PHP 8.2, or 8.1 for temporary testing.

They proposed creating a production server based on Docker so they could "manage versions and dependencies independently." I was open to this idea but rejected the notion of putting such an outdated setup into production in 2024.

The client called, frustrated because "I refused to install what they asked." I explained that what they were asking was risky and outdated, and that a plugin requiring PHP 7.4 was clearly obsolete and would cause problems quickly.

Then, everyone disappeared. This morning, the client called in a panic: "Our server's been hacked! Do something!"

Upon investigation, I found that:
- They had gone live with their development server without informing me.
- They had been hacked through a plugin and malicious software was installed for phishing and other purposes, consuming bandwidth and CPU.
- All antivirus/antispam systems flagged the site as malicious.

I explained to the client that the server itself wasn't hacked (especially not mine), but rather the "site" was compromised - a different issue altogether. I advised them to restore the DNS settings and bring the previous site back online.

Their site is a simple institutional one, which is updated every 2-3 years by the developer. It doesn't need dynamic CMS features. The previous site was static, created with Simply Static, and remained online and problem-free for years.

Unfortunately, this is a common trend today. Some developers deploy outdated, vulnerable systems and then blame others when the site is compromised.

When you use Twitter, you ride with Elon and Trump

Image that says "When you use Twitter, you ride with Elon! Get off that awful garbage fire site today!" It's in the style of the 1940s US government poster "When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler" and has a picture of a person driving their car alone next to an outline of Elon Musk dressed up like Hitler.

Esto era muy divertido. También había como una especie de pulpitos hechos del mismo material, que al lanzarlos a lo alto de un pared bajaban como arrastrándose y era un descojone.

Es que de hecho ocurre que es una balanza presupuestaria muy clara: si el estado se endeuda, las familias no lo hacen; si el estado no se endeuda, lo tienen que hacer las familias. Vivimos en un sistema económico impulsado por el crédito, lo queramos o no; y la relación entre los estados y las familias en cuanto a la deuda es casi de vaso comunicante.

No sabía que a la gente no le gustase. Ha sido una de las series con las que más he disfrutado de toda mi vida, en su momento estuve enganchadísimo. ¿El final? Pues bueno, no me gustó mucho, pero da igual, porque lo importante fue el viaje.

A mí me pasa igual, que suelo postergarlos para cuando pueda leerlos (voy en el bus, o estoy con otra gente, o leyendo en el parque). Y muchas veces se me olvida que están ahí y tengo que andarme disculpando por oírlos tarde.

Por lo que yo sé, el quimerismo no implica ningún problema de salud y son gatos tan sanos como cualquier otro. Solo es una característica genética, como la heterocromía (gatos o perros con un ojo de cada color).

Solo tienes una gatita muy muy especial.

Los gatos quimera tienen diferentes genes en cada uno de los lados de la simetría axial; genéticamente, son dos gatos en uno. Generalmente se nota en que tienen pelaje diferente en cada lado del cuerpo:

Que después de beber más de 40 cervezas hoy y tener que expulsarlas fuera de mí, mi agüita amarilla sigue su camino hasta el mar, allí se evapora y luego llueve y algo de eso.
