Added a 1 per month backup retention. Thanks for the suggestion.

Right. I thought I was restoring the most recent backup, but it turned out that the order for the archive list was in ascending order. I picked the top one thinking it was the latest. So that’s why you saw 8 days when Burggit was back up for a split second.

My server automatically takes a backup once daily in the early AM, and keeps (I think? I’d need to check) 7 on hand. Any older than that, and they’re pruned.

Also, to add: Thank fuck for Borg. It’s one of the few backup solutions that hasn’t corrupted itself just from doing incremental backups.

Went ahead and reverted the entire thing. Don’t want the headache of maintaining a minor fork.

Went ahead and reverted that part. Either wait for the cache to expire or clear it if you want to see the stats now. Sorry, didn’t know the stats were important to others. I just thought it’d be funny to make our stats over 9000.

Lol, I’ll remove the lemmy-ui mod if you guys want. I just thought it’d be funny.

Did you get in on the shota.house? I can get you an invite since I’m admin there.

Hey

You may need to retry it a few times because federation is kinda weird like that.

An update: got my hands on the apk via apkmirror and debugged it, and now it should be fixed. Don’t know why I have to do these hacky URI replacements. I even tried Lemmy’s stock config and it gives me a 404 there too.

Scratch that I got to the bottom of the issue and these odd 404s should be fixed without needing any hacks.

By chance I reread a JSON string that was returned by the /api/v3/site endpoint when I was debugging and noticed remnants of our old domain in there (lemmy.burger.rodeo). I went into the DB and switched it over to the new domain.

This should be fixed now. I just internally strip the trailing slash using a URI replacement. Please let me know if you notice any side effects from doing this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hi, I recommend the first-party client: https://element.io/download. Yes having both is fine, and is probably recommended so that you have a way to restore your key if you have to reinstall either client. On Android, if you’re privacy conscious, get the F-Droid version. Since that doesn’t have Google Play Services integrated. Both the desktop version and android version are free and open source software.

Notable ones that I saw being spat out were when I was glancing at the running script were from hexbear.net and programming.dev. I’ve also updated the https://instances.burggit.moe page to show the current instances we’re still federated with.

Well, I was going to update the list with new communities that were recently removed, but since I moved to a straight up purge I can’t retrieve them to do that. Sorry, fellas. I’d restore from backup, but I wouldn’t find it worth it for this instance to “go back in time” for this. I need to tweak my script to write to file to record the communities it purged.

My first (and last) foray into MOBAs (when I could still play vidya) was DOTA 2 and it took like 30 minutes to setup a match and once I got there, I had no idea wtf to do and just abandoned the match, and lol’d mischeviously that I’d be screwing over some nerds who’d have to go through that process all over again.

Yeah. A big chunk of discussion takes place on here. So if you’re more into that then this is the place you want to be.

To add, the admin hates our guts.

You appear to be already using Cloudflare so it might be doing a “good” enough job to combat spambots and other adversaries.

Since I don’t much like cloudflare, my instance uses Crowdsec which uses a crowd sourced block list aggregated from other servers to block out nasty IPs that have a bad reputation for attempting to run automated exploits, spam, overzealous crawlers, and other assorted nasty stuff on said servers that the list is crowdsourced from. A lot of Tor exit nodes, to no surprise, are on that list too.

Idk this is something that might pique your interest if you want to further harden your setup.

I’m a unique case because my first foray into Linux was using the CLI via SSH on a server, and I thought the CLI was insanely cool and was immediately hooked. So I don’t really have any good advice other than to just force yourself to use it I guess?

Ironically, I have a more difficult time using desktop Linux just because it’s not a headless environment like I’m used to. I still use it ofc.
