Sigh. Why doesn't Miniflux like nginx. I used their suggested nginx config even.
Randomly 502s. Sigh. I guess I am going to learn....
Already am, to be fair. I have debug logs on for Miniflux and it is logging zero errors, and thinks it has responded just fine.

Miniflux says: May 10 08:30:34 rss miniflux[13383]: level=DEBUG msg="Incoming request" client_ip=192.168.1.190 request.method= GET request.uri=/history request.protocol=HTTP/1.0 request.execution_time=23.200117ms

And Nginx says: 2026/05/10 08:30:34 [error] 33626#33626: *1979 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading resp onse header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.1, server: example.tld, request: "GET /history HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://192.168.1.198:8080/history", host: "example.tld"

webserver(nginx) lxc is on x.x.x.190 and Miniflux is on x.x.x.198 here, domain changed to protect the guilty. I keep piling stuff on the webserver container so thought I'd keep this separate. Hmm. Wondering if I should not have. It is random too, the response times Miniflux displays can be longer and it actually works fine. Then boom a bunch just don't.

Going straight to the IP:port it doesnt miss a beat ever, so this must be something to do with Nginx proxy_pass settings, surely. 🤔

I have decided that since my mood is at its lowest early on in the week, I can't get any lower by playing #Thief2014, right?

:)

Right?

Anyway, you can watch how low I can go on my Twitch channel here:

Bah... Had to continue in a 2nd post! If any #retrotech #retro #electronics peeps spot this can anyone tell me the name of the connectors to find the correct boards? Or if I can get away with making some kind of adaptor to use with something else? #whydoidothistomyself #gluttonforpunishment #onedayimayfinishsomething

Still don’t like em, but at least I can finish these Vita HIIT routines now. Granted, I take about 3x as long as the estimate, but I’m pretty sure their estimates are garbage. For instance, today was 5 routines, four of them combos, with 2-3 sets in each. So something like 25 sets total? They estimated 13 minutes. Took me 38. Pretty sure my heart would explode if I pushed hard enough to hit 25 minutes, let alone 13.

Alright, I took a crack at talking about passkeys for people who use, want to use, or absolutely do not understand Passkeys. https://authomnibus.com/authentication/passkeys/for_users/

I'm eliding a lot of detail in the pursuit of understandability but hopefully it's helpful.

I am also working on a follow-up for "so you're using an Android fork...."

Adobe Creative Cloud should be accurately referred to as a virus not an app. Of course, that aligns with every product Adobe has been making since decades (remember Flash?).
