poVoq here. I am starting to think I am cursed, because everything works fine (or is at least fixanle with a remote server restart) until the second I go on a longer business trip and can’t easily access the hardware.

Remote access is mostly lost, but I was able to triangulate the issue and of course it is something I had on my list of potential issues, but as a low priority item 🫠 At least it isn’t the same problem again as in 2025.

What exactly triggered the issue is unclear though. I was still able to access the reverse-proxy server yesterday (shortly before it went down) and tried to do some updates for that php security problem in a VM that runs on the same machine. I thought I had those covered, but there is a slight chance that it is related and someone chained another exploit to escape the VM.

Anyways, it looks like the realistic / not overly optimistic scenario is that the server will stay down until christmas. I did have someone who could restart the servers on site until this summer, but they had to relocate to mainland Portugal for job reasons (tourism sector) and so they will also only return for christmas.

So yeah, not great at all, and I will have to think more seriously about how compatible this kind of self-hosting is with my current job, which limits my access to the servers for a few weeks at least once a year. It was easier during the pandemic times when I started all this, as deployments were shorter and more seldom back then.

@futurebird I know my squares, so I do 7*7 and then add 7.

Looks like our servers are on the fritz again. Usually we aren’t out of commission for too long. Hopefully we are back soon.

@liaizon I think that's a really good feature, but it might be too high-level. I'd like to have a server that lets you aggregate search terms, individual accounts, and hashtags, but tags.pub might be one-feed-per-tag.

I crossed it in a few days. Some people use the web pretty heavily.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to say "100 searches total", which is pretty lame.

If it was 100 searches a month, or even 50, then I would certainly try it. But I'm not gonna go through the process of making an account and changing my habits just to do 100 searches one time.

An endearing finnish thing:

When someone is struggling, we don't wish them "thoughts and prayers" (tho some religious finns will happily pray for you), but we wish them "powers" (voimia).

And I like to imagine them as the powers of the forest, the wind, the deepest lakes, and forgotten secrets hued into the rock by our ancient kin. The spirits reach to give you their strenght, the veil is thin, the old songs lend you aid.

We wish you powers on these tough times.

@quillmatiq.com I heard it was excellent.

It annoys me a lot that my brain has recently been overwhelmed and captured by anti-AI advocacy and anger, while I already had so many more important and interesting things to do, plan and think about -- not least do and manage research that makes a little difference to the living world.

I really feel stripped of my freedom by the Big Tech bastards and their enablers, and I hate this because it means they are winning by making everything on Earth about themselves at the moment.

It's really hard to compartimentalize this fight.

@Mrfunkedude you make pants out of 'gurt?

@endeavorance I had to look up shoobie. I am now excited to know a new slur that I will never be able to use, because I live in Indiana, and if I want to be near a coast I'd have to go to Gary or some shit.

You’re why there are ads.

@ghostsnwitches @abolish-ai you should reach out to Elsa Kivinen of the Finland Chapter of Debt For Climate movement for contacts!
