#Introductions

My name is Francis. A Fox who enjoys doing system/network administration both as a job and hobby, mostly Linux.

I'm a very open-minded person, support LGBTQ+, and am overall a pleasant individual. When I'm not managing servers I'm ether sleeping or playing video games.

I like following artists in the fandom, meeting new people, and having fun!

Not very NSFW myself but I do follow those who are and enjoy their content, don't take it personally if I don't boost or fave/like.

If I have one grudge against BitWarden though it would have to be the choice of using MSSQL as the database, like seriously? This may be the anti-Microsoft in me talking but I would have preferred the use of Postgresql or even MySQL/Maria over MSSQL. Otoh It does do the job pretty well so maybe I shouldn't knock it so hard.

I used LastPass for the past few months, while it was great I just couldn't justify spending $36 just to use my Yubikey. $10 at BW gave me my Yubikey but also the awesomeness of being able to self-host the instance holding, securing, and syncing my password database.

I used KeePass prior to that and it was perfect as an offline wallet but I was constantly finding myself not using it because of how much effort it was to keep an updated copy on all my devices.

Upgrades are complete and traffic should be handled at the load balancer which means lower response times, increased traffic capacity, and less downtime!

Once I've made sure everything is working in a way I'm happy with, I'll balance the two behind the usual puppo.space URL.

Doing some testing behind the scenes with a load balancer. This should ensure the site remains running even in the event that one of the systems goes down the other will take over. If you wish to try out the site with the load balancer goto https://streaming.puppo.space.

If your home tab appears blank don't worry, that is just the separate redis instances running on both hosts and I haven't got them syncing yet.

Sorry anyone trying to access the instance in the past hour. Something at OVH broke and caused networking on the server to go down. The database host was unaffected during this time. As of 7:23 AM the problem is fixed but that was downtime I was not expecting.

Taking what happened here as a lesson learned, I'll be spinning up some more instances to ensure high availability and failover.

Gonna probably bite the bullet and get QEMU installed on my secondary host.

It's kind of satisfying to almost completely utilize a server to the point where you actually need another one in order to continue expanding

Found a way to play an old game (Battlefield 2142) online again but the dedicated server software has aged so badly on the Linux side that attempting to start it causes a segfault. Only the Windows executable will allow me to launch a server but I really don't wanna spin up a Windows server VM to make it public.

Haha yes, just as I was about to sit down and get to work my power goes out 😂 ya know I think the universe is trying to tell me something

My Raspberry Pi issue from yesterday is magically gone yet I didn't do anything to fix it 🙃
