Is Concern Over Security Overrated?
The average user may believe that all the hype they read about security on the internet is overrated. To be honest some of it is and some of it is just to sell you a product you do not need.
In the case of Internet Facing Services this is not the case. If you have an internet facing service then you have to be sure your server is secure. This is why I insist on SELinux on my servers. AppArmor is easier to configure though not as configurable as SELinux for as many cases. I would also strongly suggest you never disable SELinux (or AppArmor if that is what you are using) to ease installation and implementation. It is not worth the risk. Just learn to use your Gnu/Linux Hardening system to its fullest extent. Do not disable it.
I have attached a screenshot of an ssh session to my VPS. As you can see every few seconds an attack fails. This is why the security is required.

Server Down
I am not sure how long the Server has been down today. I went to login and got a 503: Service Unavailable. I am looking into what caused the issue.
After discovering that I could not connect to my instance, though the server was still up. I did the most reasonable thing ;). I rebooted it. That seems to have fixed whatever took the service down. I am looking into what caused the issue and how to prevent it in the future.

Rogue Project Friendica Instance Terms Of Services (TOS) & Rules
I have updated the Terms Of Services and Rules of Rogue Project's Friendica Instance.
Please keep in mind , if you use this Instance, that it is your responsibility to keep up with updates. I will however post when I do make any updates. You can find the TOS & Rules on the main menu of this Instance.
ImageMagick
One of the most frequent issues with my Friendica instance is that the scripts using php-imagick are not handling exceptions. This is not a huge issue though it is an example of how a lot of the code base, in my opinion, is rushed and loosely implemented. I decided to learn more about ImageMagick in order to address some of these issues. I know it is a small issue, though we start small and work up to larger tasks right 😁.
I have used ImageMagick in the past to do some quick batch processing on files for the web. I love how it has grown in version 7. I will be testing soon. Will post any significant issues I find/ resolve.

Between
As the light erupts across the sky
your morning has just begun
as cries of avow are birthed
I sing to you my little one...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
You can endure no more of this abundance
Your girths limit has been reached
Ill content and miserable
I say to you my child...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
Your barren face has lost its color
You are barely there at all
starving and desperate
I reason with you...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
Not a thought for anything else can be
she is all that you will see
obsession overcomes thee
Will you hear my plea...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
Her softest touch has torn your heart apart
madness grips you to your core
grief has manifest rage
listen to my screams
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
As the light dims across the sky
your twilight finally arrives
as sorrow finds its rest
I utter my last goodbye...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between

Everything That Is Nothing
I am everything
that is nothing
I am nothing
that is real
everything surreal
is my ideal
my strength is my weakness
my hope is my despair
my voice is my silence
my life is unclear
the truth is a lie
the hope is my bane
the way is a myth
the joy is my grief

Server Update
I have managed to fine tune my instance for now. Though I will have to see how it handles heavier loads when new users signup. For now the logs only show anticipated issues. Such as graphics that are shared that are not to encoded to the standard and thus throw exceptions. I would rather those exceptions be handled though for now it is not a big deal as it does not affect the server performance.
I am still learning the Friendica codebase so it will be sometime before I can work out issues such as these. And there are far more pressing issues.

Instance is Setup and Tuned
Okay, Rogue Project Friendica is setup and tuned as well as I can with no user base. At this point I will just wait to see if I get some users and see how the server behaves.
libpng has been throwing some warnings though that is typical with a library that handles so many files created from other resources, that are not 100% compliant to the standard. So far it has not caused an issue. I will be keeping an eye on it. 😁
