I setup a Ko-Fi in case anyone wants to help support me.

Also if you'd like to support the instance any bit helps to offset the cost of hosting.

#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.

I'm really annoyed that Blizzard didn't give accounts that still had their original WoW usernames priority access to the stress test. Like yeah thanks for the slap to the face for my years of dedication to the game that you gave to streamers over me.

I started playing in BC so this was my chance to actually do something from classic but I didn't get invited :(

If I was to write up some tutorials on networks, servers, and other things technical would anyone be interested in them?

I've played with so much server and network stuff that I could easily write up hundreds of posts around setting up, configuring, and securing services that I just never wrote into a blog because I didn't know if people would actually look at them or not.

Had an awesome day today. Also got my hair cut a few days ago.

so now that Windows will be shipping with a full fledged Linux kernel, when do we get them to rename it to GNU/Windows?

HTTP (Hope This Ting Posts)
HTTPS (Hope This Ting Posts Securely)

My method of caching is a bit on the extreme where I actually cache things for 8 hours which means if someone changes their DNS records and I cached their address an hour ago, I will ether have to manually clear the cache or wait 7 hours for it to expire 🙃

Nothing major seems to break though and I've been testing that cache setup for a few weeks now.

As an experiment I pointed my DNS servers to my local pihole servers and tracked near 3k queries to snouts.online alone. Thanks to caching I only had to go out to resolve it 3-4 times within 24 hours.

If you're instance seems slow, ensure your /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to a fast resolver.

To check your DNS speed, use the dig command and see how long it takes to resolve a domain.

One is me doing a lookup on my own, the 2nd one is Cloudflare, 3rd is Google
