Someone: "Life is easier without the monolithic systemd."

Linux kernel enters the chat.

Linux kernel: "What do you mean? I am a monolith as well."

Me: Oh, if we use "monolith," "monolith," "other software of different principles," "on top of others," that means we are still following the UNIX philosophy, regardless of the monolith parts' presence.

Thoughts? Feel free to comment.

Webmin is hardened & clustered w/ three total nodes, ns1, ns2, and ns3 etc. I will eventually add clustered nodes on two other locations so records are still served when one cluster's host is down.

https://tech.haacksnetworking.org/2025/12/29/authoritative-dns-w-bind-9/ feedback welcome.

Added larger tmp directory & source-IPd vhost so webmin won't lock. Obv, make sure you use static, dedicated, & fully hardened external IPs for permitted list.

🚀 New Webinoly Release!

We’re fast-tracking this update to fix critical issues:

🛠️ PHP PPA Fix: New resilient socket management to solve breaking changes in Ondřej Surý’s repo.

📦 Rclone Integration: We’ve replaced Duplicity/Duply with #Rclone for faster, more robust backups. Time to migrate!

🐍 Certbot via PIP: No more Snap! PIP is now the default for Ubuntu 26.04 (Snap remains optional).
