I just ran out of disk space on my VPS.
Fortunately I left an unused 2GB `/swap` file that I was able to delete and get some breathing room for cleanup operation while the sever continues running.

Installing Debian on a server (Old laptop) first, so I can I can backup my files via rsync and finally update my main laptop to Debian Trixie.
Also this old laptop will be used by my parents afterwards.

My #Letsencrypt certificates auto-renewed (yay!) but did not propagate correctly to #Prosody (XMPP server), and #Slidge (Whatsapp-to-XMPP bridge) silently lost connection, meaning that I missed on roughly a week of family chat, only thinking "what a boring time of year".
I'll have to rethink this Rube Goldberg machine of message delivery.

Forgot to enable-linger on my NAS, download job I wanted to run over night just stopped when I logged out, feels like compiling-your-kernel-overnight-getting-stuck-10-minutes-in-after-you-went-to-bed-because-of-some-weird-kmenu-question all over again #90sKernelThings #FirstWorldProblems #JustAdminThings

Message Fatigue is really a thing. If you have a thing that produces a bunch of messages and logs to say everything went well, and you're monitoring a bunch of it, you're eventually going to mentally filter it out as "normal" and it just becomes noise.
it's much easier for the "omg everything is on fire" message to be lost in the noise then.
Unix has the right of it, if everything went well, say nothing, exit stage left with value 0.

Q: How to start a process with PHP?
A: Yes. -
Well yeah... Devs using #docker containers like VMs for #qa...
2 months, 10 containers, 500 GB of disk space used...
Each #container having its log file around 45 GB in size, over 84 MILION lines...
And that's the only reason we have a dedicated server for that... Cannot virtualize it... Cuz they won't change their QA process...#justadminthings #docker #linux #centos #ubuntu #testing #godwhy #help

One of our employees had problems connecting to our network via #openvpn on his #macbook We suspected his laptop, so we sent him new one, tested. Not working. Over 3 weeks the whole support team was trying to fix that. To disable inbuilt load balancer we lowered MTU from 1500 (the lowest MTU supported by load balancer) to 1400, then 1300. Didn't help. What helped?
LOWERING MTU TO 1200...
Why? No idea... Probably just #apple #magic #justadminthings -
Story time: I've had a few people recently message me regarding their strong suspicions that we had somebody impersonating (in their words catfishing) on aus.social.
While I couldn't find anything that proved one way or the other, I was able to directly contact the person via linked in of all places and confirm their identity.
This isn't a regular issue, but I hope it builds trust and safety on this platform. Thank you for people who raised concerns of the possible stolen identity, and thank you for the person for being understanding of our concerns.
Edit: that said, I think a few people got in contact with them directly, and spooked them away.... please just report these things and leave them to myself/mods instead of messaging people directly. It's the mods job.

Sachen die den #Admin nicht erfreuen:
Da sagt das Nagios doch "RAID CRITICAL: Raid Set # 000: Degraded - Raid Set # 001: Normal"
Also nachher mal losfahren, die Server kurz streicheln und eine Festplatte tauschen...

Meet me how I am amused seeing my (other) coworker trying to get OpenSSH and Docker running on a Windows Server 2016. Docker not that big of a problem. OpenSSH unless seems to be very picky.
And no, I don't know why he going through this pain and not just using an effin Linux server for this.
Background: A service provider for web services needs an SSH access to the machine and a pre-installed docker environment to get shit done.
