STREET ART UTOPIA

Service providers make you dependent on updates and their own applications in order to maintain control over your devices.If you want to use your devices fully and freely, you can remove the restrictions imposed by your service providers.But from this point on, you step outside the comfort zone. You take all the authority and responsibility upon yourself.

Leave the safe harbor and set sail for the open seas!

This morning, a dev I work with flagged a server that was struggling. I logged in and, unfortunately, a bunch of "Scrapers" were hammering it, causing an overload. This dev is very sharp and understood the situation. He started extending the caching margins. I prepared a list of countries of interest and, using pf, blocked the rest of the world.
The load plummeted, and the client doesn't care about their products being visible outside of specific markets.

Shortly after, a similar situation on another server I manage (subcontracted, to be precise). I didn't know this dev and saw there was no caching in place, so I spoke to him and asked him to implement it. His response, sadly predictable, was that another one of his clients just moved to $CLOUD_PROVIDER and no longer has these problems, simply paying more when these "attacks" become more intense. I suggested he try enabling caching and thinking about their markets of interest. He's a positive person, so he agreed to give it a shot. A short while later, just by adding Varnish and some good VCL, the load dropped from 100% to 5%. Without any blocking.

He called me a little while ago, incredulous and happy.

It's always a pleasure to work with people who are willing to experiment, explore, and listen. With people who don't just follow the herd or ad banners, but who think for themselves. I've earned myself a walk outside the office now.

Moments of cultureshock when setting up something Linux:

1. Nothing on the system is trying to sell itself to you.

2. All telemetry is opt-in, you have to really look for it to opt-in and even then it's anon.

3. I didn't have to confirm my identity or my humanity for my own computer to let me in 

4. I can install and run whatever I want and nobody knows or cares.

5. In the case of KDE, I can just go look and tweak the source code of all the Widgets 🎨 .

As Konqueror says: #BeFree

Hello Debian 13 🤩
And check this, Konqueror is the default browser in the Task Manager, how cool is that 😍
