woo, i figured out what my haproxy/iocaine problem was. or more accurately, i jiggled it a lot more and my problem went away

and now! i finished my upgrade to iocaine 330, and flipped on the firewall feature!!
🔥 🔥 🔥

whereupon the number of tcp sockets the scrapers were holding open on my vps... increased???

i have a hypothesis as to why, and a workaround. opened an issue to document the experience. with no other changes, over time i should see fewer and fewer scrapers able to reach my sites

dear my brain pls stop saying antigreen in ruby rhod's voice
maybe i should think about possibly considering whether or not to replace that drive

woah this is something i've wanted forever and the first time i've heard of it existing: a flip phone that can do hotspot. only 4g though.

are there other models? is this a normal feature these days?

the spec says it runs "asop" os. did they misspell "aosp"? does it actually run android? in that case it's not quite as good, but,

the place we're staying at this time has framed kitch of the original entirely made-up culture-appropriative "there are two wolves inside you" story 🙄

you love to see it. well, i love to see it.

all this rain is lovely. looks like it will last all week too 😍

i could do with several months of it though, if you felt like it

also,

ah the four genders

also,

the forecast calls for "blowing" haha

but it's bit from tron (1982) in the window going "yes... [wub wub wub] yes....."

to do: hilbert chart visualization of all the ip addresses, like this one, but overlaid with all the addresses i've blocked at the firewall

maybe pull in data from people who share their blocklists as well

got a ways to go yet but, got my lil rust webserver that understands If-Unmodified-Since PUT requests plugged into the internet. it does the thing i wanted it to do!

pretty sure it's not vulnerable to directory traversal attacks

however it does not currently attempt to guard against users who would upload naughty scripts or media

if you want to poke it, dm me and if you don't seem like the type to upload an xss attack i'll give you a demo username/password

today i learned "berserk" as in "furiously violent or out of control" comes from old norse "berserker" (berserkir), who were "scandinavian warriors who were said to have fought in a trance-like fury."

but the word "berserker" itself means:

"bear shirt"
