in the masto don. straight up "posting through it". and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. The server outage

hey
i just met you
if you want to reach me
i don't have a number
here's my xmpp

when google tried to kill it off
i missed it so bad
i missed it so so bad

@pho4cexa holding the socket in fin-wait for small multiple of max segment lifetime (couple minutes) guards against long-delayed ack & fin packets arriving 10-90 sec after close and triggering possibly cpu-intensive lookups or other activity on your end
imminentize pontypool (2008) for large language models

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_orphan_retries=1 clears out those FIN-WAIT-1 sockets nice and quick ๐Ÿ˜Ž

i wonder what the downsides are. if any. maybe those retries are useful on shittier connections but this is a vps in a datacenter not a mobile phone on a subway car

I used to think that in terms of licenses, AGPL > GPL > BSD and now it turns out that OpenBSD rises to the slop challenge and Linux does not. This post brought to you because of rsync now being open slopware, apparently, and openrsync is not. https://github.com/kristapsdz/openrsync

i've got iocaine set to block only new connections when an ip requests a poison page. that keeps their ip from returning, but doesn't kick them off my server immediately

i tried adding an abort to the end of iocaine's handle_response block in caddy, (and rebooted)

i think what i'm seeing now is scrapers successfully getting kicked out at the first request, but their sockets now get stuck in fin-wait-1 state until they time out

the most immediately impressive feature of a wristwatch in my view is its thinness

so every time i see a marketing shot of (only) a watch face that very carefully avoids any indication of its thickness, it feels embarrassing, like it's trying way too hard to hide unsightly parts of itself

like how i try to suck the neck fat in a bit when i'm getting photo'd and sometimes overdo it

the thought "coffee is tea" entered my head unbidden and i had to make the whole alignment chart in order to banish it
