@prologic i can give it a try MAYBE, i've been super busy and all over the place but i will put it on my task list to try to remember! do you have upgrade/migration instructions anywhere that i can follow?
@prologic lovesick by luana vecchio! it's really brutal and explicit, just super intense all around but super worth the read if you can stomach it. great comic
i wrote (citation needed) a PHP script thing that does a check for on demand TLS purposes and it works but like only partly? like there's records in the DB that it 404s on even though. they are very much there. so idk what's up with that but i've worked at this all day i'll leave it at this for now
task tracking in obsidian with the tasks plugin has gone pretty well today. i've completed all but one tasks i had set for today. that makes me really happy
rough day today TT therapy was hard. i'm trying yet again to establish a routine and stick to it. or at least a way of tracking my tasks and making a routine out of that over time. i really hope it sticks
good morning everyone. before going to bed last night i accidentally password protected the entirety of my biggest site superlove because i botched a refactor of my caddyfile config. lmao
good morning friends. i don't know what i'm gonna do today. perhaps work on my patreon and login wall more personal sites behind authelia that i could offer access to via patreon tier
@movq noted! i did try something like this but it wouldn't connect on anything without the SSL stuff, which is normally handled by caddy for me but i can't use certbot with caddy on so i'm stuck there LOL
is it like... ethical to offer access to certain self hosted services as patreon exclusives. like i wanna offer the IRC client/bouncer i hosted which seems ok i think because i've seen pico.sh offer their instances of that as paid services. but the other ones i have in mind are alt web frontends for stuff like imgur and pinterest. and i just feel weird about it for some reason. idk i'm trying to think of ways to support my server stuff but every time i come up with something it feels weird
@bender also an interesting option! i think i'm most worried about the cert stuff because i just let caddy handle that for me so i'm not sure how to get files from certbot for that (i had issues with that yesterday) but i can look into it and just toy around with it
@prologic oooh this looks interesting!!! maybe i could play around with it in docker and see how to integrate it with caddy layer4 for TLS + my existing web client and bouncer!!
@movq no clue! i've never had issues setting up websockets and the gamja client itself seems to work fine when connecting to other servers, but my bouncer doesn't work right so it's soju TT i THINK there's a problem with the websockets but it seems to be working right so i'm just confused
hey everyone i've spent my whole day trying to set up soju + gamja in docker and now i am down a rabbit hole of building caddy with layer4 support and trying to get TLS for my IRC server and NOTHING IS WORKING
@bender super old ass CPU lol it's probably ancient in computer years! GTS needs a CPU thing that came after 2010 so that explains it (2008 machine) lmao
(it is running gotosocial which is like one of the lightest fedi servers out there. the machine it runs on is as old as a high schooler. guess the root problem)
i feel so powerful i wrote a 3 line script that takes an inputted markdown filename from the current working directory and then spits out a nicely formatted html page. pandoc does all the work i did nothing
so i had the idea of adding a page to my otherwise single page girl on the moon personal site that featured my more notable projects, but it's been hours and i CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO ADD THAT I HAVEN'T ALREADY MENTIONED. i just host other people's stuff!!!
@bender very true in both regards!!! <333 happy to see you too, i missed your silly bender icon hahha. my times could be better but things will improve i am sure of it
@bender awww thank you :'))) you all are too nice!!! i really wanted to share how i did this because i think i'm the first person to publicly attempt a production instance of dreamwidth code in docker, so i'm glad i did a good job at documenting it!!!!!!!
@movq HELP THIS IS GENUINELY SO SWEET THANK YOU ;_; omg i felt so nervous posting this because i was like what if i get something wrong but then i did it anyway and i felt so free... like woah i did all of this
@bender NOOOO i self host an XMPP server and also revolt but as much as i love XMPP (gajim client reminds me of using skype as a kid highkey) i don't use it much and revolt is a bitch to maintain. like i broke revolt file uploads and it stayed that way for months until literally last week lmao. i never bothered with matrix tbh maybe i should've but it seems not worth it
@prologic hm would there be any loss with the re-fetch option? i wouldn't mind either but i'd like to hold onto what i got if possible! but if it IS possible but also really annoying to do i'll just do the re-fetch of feeds because i'm lazy af LMAO
7k words of docs on deploying a livejournal folk. you absolutely want to read 7 thousand words of me forcing dreamwidth into production shape in docker https://stash.4-walls.net/selfhostdw/
oh out of boredom yesterday i made my blog available via markdown files too so you can use charmbracelet/glow to read them in your terminal :)
basically i just set up a file directory on a path of my blog, organized the MD files by year, and so in theory you can navigate to that path and choose a folder, then copy a link to a markdown post and run this:
guys omg the people behind pico.sh are so nice ;_; one of the people running it emailed me to let me know i had what was likely a malfunctioning (or well, not working as intended) script that was spawning the same SSH tunnel over and over and they wanted to give me a heads up.
and i felt SO BAD because i worried i was straining their service or something so i disabled my 4 tunnels (they were serving little SSH games and services) and got back to them.
but i just woke up to THE NICEST EMAIL EVER reassuring me that i was actually using it as intended, it was just my script that was having problems, and they even said that if it was intended to work that way it was fine and they just wanted to let me know!
so i restarted the tunnels but have since added lockfiles as safeguards so that when the script is run it'll check if it's already running :D
