Roni LaukkarinenSomething in the Managed Cloud hosting has always bugged me as a DIY dedicated hardware sysop guy. However, times change and currently I'm looking for one or setting up one myself for a site that has insane amount of requests per second. WP Engine, Pressidium, Pressable, Kinsta, WordPress VIP or custom AWS or what? What do you recommend, specifically for Enterprise WordPress?<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/WordPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordPress</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/SysOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysOps</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hosting</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/WebHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebHosting</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cloud</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/AWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AWS</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/CloudHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CloudHosting</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/CloudServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CloudServices</a>

Roni LaukkarinenA while back I was super tired and had too many command line windows open. I typed in the wrong command on the wrong server. This caused system being partly broken, because I accidentally upgraded a held-back package. Eventually got it fixed by recompiling that certain package, but it contained a module compiled by an external party, so had to wait and not restart any services for 24 hours.Happens to all of us sometimes.However, what I learned is I should finally really change the color of each prompt for every single server I have. I have dozens of them. I'm lazy that way, I just customize my local prompt but rarely do it on production servers, despite how easy it is.For Mastodon my prompt is deep purple, like it should.```bash PS1="\[\e[38;5;141m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" ```Here are my other prompts, feel free to use these colors in your .bashrc:```bash PS1="\[\e[38;5;99m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Light Purple PS1="\[\e[38;5;141m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Pastel Purple PS1="\[\e[38;5;183m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Lavender PS1="\[\e[38;5;217m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Light Pink PS1="\[\e[38;5;216m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Peach PS1="\[\e[38;5;117m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Sky Blue PS1="\[\e[38;5;159m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Soft Cyan PS1="\[\e[38;5;121m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Mint Green PS1="\[\e[38;5;229m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Soft Yellow PS1="\[\e[38;5;210m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Light Coral ```<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/SysOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysOps</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Server</a>

Roni LaukkarinenJust spent 6 hours trying find out and solve why my Matrix instance is showing: {"errcode":"M_NOT_FOUND","error":"Not found"} when trying to access images. I did not notice this problem before, because Matrix/Element caches images locally using blobs, but realized this after uploading images to IRC via heisenbridge.I first thought I had messed up my S3 Object Storage. Then thought I messed up my filesystem. Then I thought I made a mistake in yaml configs. But it was none of that.It's a while since I installed my Matrix server and completely forgot on how I set up my S3 Object Storage. It seems it is literally not documented. Like at all. Just like the half of Matrix and Synapse.I ended up debugging literally anything and everything without any solution. After turning all stones I even asked ChatGPT and it started to run in loops in despair. Finally ended up reading synapse changelog here one bit by bit: <a href="https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade.html#authenticated-media-is-now-enforced-by-default" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade.html#authenticated-media-is-now-enforced-by-default</a>It seems, I have upgraded in some point. And wow, in between of upgrades the whole thing has broken. I mean it runs without erros, but it's broken. No deprecated warnings in the log, no warnings in release logs. Left a comment here: <a href="https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17889#issuecomment-2564520513" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17889#issuecomment-2564520513</a>My solution was to add in homeserver.yaml: enable_authenticated_media: falseWhat I hate about Matrix is:- Nothing is documented - Nothing is explained - Everything is complicated to set upEach upgrade and extension is like building and tinkering for hours and hours and hoping for the best.I don't know why I keep using Matrix.

Roni Laukkarinen<a href="https://expressional.social/@jippi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jippi</a> Exactly. I'm still in a sysop team and been doing servers for 20 years.Top 5: 1. Human error, someone restarted an erroneous process or crashed production in some way - deploy fails, workflow fails, etc. 2. Bottlenecks in processes and CPU usage 3. Disk space runs out in root level, thus cannot write to disk 4. DDoS attacks 5.

josh :veri:does anyone here know what tool i'd use to create a Desktop virtual machine an a headless Ubuntu server and be able to connect somehow to see the desktop display? like through vnc or something, but so i can install and os via an ISO image or something. in proxmox there was a web interface that you can just open and see the VM booting ..... anyway just thought i'd ask<a href="https://masto.byrd.ws/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://masto.byrd.ws/tags/VirtualMachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VirtualMachines</a> <a href="https://masto.byrd.ws/tags/SysOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysOps</a> <a href="https://masto.byrd.ws/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a> <a href="https://masto.byrd.ws/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a>

Roni LaukkarinenWow, Matrix is not the most straightforward to install when compared to Mastodon. Tutorials and docs are all over the place. I have now managed to install and run Matrix, Matrix synapse admin and Element, but still need to figure out how to enable federation and S3.
