Compiling squid from source. I found what looks like a decent tutorial for doing ssl-bumping so I can proxy and cache all outbound traffic from my instances. Also placing the squid proxy in Oregon even though all my servers are in Finland or Germany. Should help with the non-english URL previews we keep getting.

Hate to admit it but #Google #Gemini has been a real help so far getting me past some hurdles and errors I've been encountering. #AI does have its uses.

Auf die Gefahr hin, mich bloßzustellen. 👀😱 ich habe alle Bilder auf meinem Blog von jpeg auf webp convertiert. Möchte die 1500 Beiträge nicht manuell ändern, sondern dies via Nginx erledigen. Also wenn Webp Bilder vorhanden sind, soll auf diese zurückgegriffen werden und wenn nicht auf die ursprünglichen JPEG Bilder.

1. If you're going to #report somebody you need to give #examples of what #activity you're reporting. Just #reporting a #profile and telling an #instance #admin that an #account is being "#spammy" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.

2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a #SCAM account but offer up absolutely no #evidence to support your #claim.

3. Every account was new once, including the person that reported this one. As long as #NSFW #content is properly #flagged, there's no issue. Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid #reason for reporting an account.

4. Another report without any basis or #justification.

5. Again, another baseless report about somebody with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their claim.

So here's what's going to happen....

The instances that forwarded these #bogus #reports to me, and wasted my time, each have a strike against them.

Strike three and we tell #Sharkey to #ignore any and all reports coming from the #instance in the future.

No #admin wants #BadActors on their instances, and no admin wants a #BadActor to make someone else feel unwelcome.

But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either.

You have to give us proof and evidence.

This is not high school and this is not middle school. If somebody is being disruptive or causing problems, let us know.

But if you just suspect someone might cause problems or they might be disruptive... wait until you have proof and evidence and then let us know!

I don't think #Webmin gets anywhere near the amount of respect that it deserves. For well over 20 years while other projects have come and gone, Webmin has been there, chugging along.

It's the first application I install on any server I provision because at the end of the day, when the server is fubar'd I can always count on Webmin to give me that critical back door.

And now, thanks to #Tailscale, I can just as easily lock down my Webmin installs to only be accessible across my Tailnet.

It's all but eliminated the need for me to ssh into any of my boxes any more. #ServerAdmin #sysadmin #AdminStuff

Have you taken a look at your website's access logs lately?

There are a LOT of spiders and bots and crawlers now. It's almost to the point where I'm getting more traffic from bots than I am from actual people.

And thus my new robots.txt file is born:

Dashboards are coming together.... #fediadmin #adminstuff #postgres #zabbix

#osTicket upgraded. Went relatively smoothly and painless. #adminstuff

I keep on forgetting every time I upgrade postgresql to issue a VACUUM(FULL, ANALYZE, VERBOSE); on every database on the server. LOL! Such a drastic performance improvement afterwards. #fediadmin #adminstuff
