#greenhost — Public Fediverse posts

Infrastructure is a strategic choice. Are you hosting for a monopoly, or are you hosting for the mission?

Let's work on building a more resilient and secure internet together.

You may have seen news of the Linux kernel issue published as CVE-2026-31431, a privilege escalation bug. Most of our infrastructure was not vulnerable. The rest was patched this morning, with no sign of exploitation beforehand.

Only for some VPS users, action might still be needed to mitigate the bug. If you chose to create your VPS with a stock kernel, instead of using our default configuration, the bug could still be exploitable.

Slightly unusually, a fix for this has not landed in the regular updates yet. This means that simply upgrading and rebooting is not enough to fix this issue. For now the simplest mitigation is to blacklist the algif_aead module (where the bug is located), like so:

echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf
rmmod algif_aead 2>/dev/null || true

We expect that for the majority of users deactivating this module will have no noticeable impact. Still unsure what to do? Ask us and we'll help you evaluate the risks.

EDIT : issue resolved

Does anyone know a cheatcode to reach #Greenhost support?
Not asking for a friend.

Responsible clouds, why don't we just do it?

... enough for today!

Updated: #1984hosting, #biohost, #bit, #faelix, #flokinet, #greenhost, #hetzner, #hostsharing, #ikoula and rejected #ovh from being green

Added a "Glossary" and a "Best Practice: Research Process" (coming soon) above the Green Instances List.

@aral Eclips.s is fantastic. It made it possible for me to avoid CloudFlare at $OLDJOB, which sometimes meant #Greenhost was handling a *lot* of traffic coming to our sites. 💜

Oh btw, about a month ago we handled ~200k visits in a day, ~12 pageviews per second, ~1Gbps bandwidth, on a WordPress site on our infrastructure... without breaking a sweat.

How? Years of polishing our front-end caching reverse-proxy config. Is it #FLOSS? Of course it is: https://git.occrp.org/libre/fasada

Also, thanks and kudos to #Greenhost for hosting our edge nodes.

Point is: no, you don't need #CloudFlare.

So I'm thinking about creating a #FOSS series and am researching topics. Since we decided to go with on-prem servers, it's been a while since I looked into ethical hosting/VPS alternatives. Basically, if you're not using AWS/Azure/GCP servers, who are the ethical server providers you should turn to?

So far I have #Greenhost. Anyone else?
