‍fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa @f0x@pixie.town

had to cycle home, get my laptop, then do server maid stuff all while tipsy :>
fixed the pixie.town vps tho :D

my cafeïne brain bees are being productive today!

so I've been good at only keeping my bullet journal when I feel like it, accepting that there will be days missing.

Also compiled a list of server maid things I need to do, and there's a ton of stuff hah. Good thing they're not high priority, having the list is good so I can just pick something to work on when I feel like it.
Boils down to making pixie.town infra better, and migrating my oldest personal vps to new shiny nixos with lower specs

@lynnesbian but can it run crysis

@hirojin@dev.glitch.social sure

@hirojin@dev.glitch.social @grainloom the issue with that is you can't really match all mastodon/peertube instances

@grainloom I think you kind of need a specific url scheme for that to work. matrix:// is sort of being worked on but not a priority, it could match on https://matrix.to/ links for now

@hirojin@dev.glitch.social it's kind of hard at the moment :>

I should probably try revive the effort for a nice *moderated* public registration server list, as opposed to https://www.hello-matrix.net/public_servers.php
(the servers on there are fine, except junta.pl, literal fascists)

what even is yarr.io? site is completely locked behind a login wall

@theonefreeman I used https://stinkyparkia.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/remote-unlocking-luks-encrypted-lvm-using-dropbear-ssh-in-ubuntu-server-14-04-1-with-static-ipst/ as a base I think, dropbear works pretty well as long as your system boots :P
currently looking into (DIY) IPMI/KVM controllers but shit's expensive or complicated

#PostMortem:
during a system upgrade wireguard suddenly cut out (not sure if that was a homeserver or endpoint-vps error). Unable to reconnect, I asked someone at home to force-reboot, which resulted in a corrupt kernel.

that would've been easy to fix from a live-usb, which I tried, except the cryptsetup initramfs part complained with stuff being mounted wrong in the chroot. Those errors were hidden behind a flood of useless error messages (known bug), so I did not notice and tried various things
in the end mounting the disks in the liveusb as expected, then regenerating the initramfs fixed it

@stolas@elekk.xyz @monorail latest or stable?

@monorail @stolas@elekk.xyz ah did not know there was a preset (need to copy those values by hand to the server config file). I'll DM server details in a bit

my timeline is going absolutely nuts backfilling the old toots from the last 7 hours

woooo we're back online
after long debugging in the cold next to my windy front door; with emotional support from my blahaj and technical support from IRC #debian my homeserver (and pixie.town workhorse) is all working again after a system malfunction during an upgrade

@jess one thing thomasthetankenginehasbones.com doesn't make clear is if it's *his* skeleton inside...

@stolas@elekk.xyz @monorail I can configure a server later today, but not sure about the setup. What kind of resource autoplace controls (frequency, size, richness), do we want peaceful, any other server settings? I'm still fairly new to the game

@stolas@elekk.xyz @monorail I ran a server but thinking of resetting the map. I got stuck in my first playthrough because of bugs :> Quite like the rail world idea, and wouldn't mind a few extra people to play with
