How to handle a tear gas canister.

Pour water around the canister to help seal the base of the traffic cone used to contain it. Then douse it from the top and cover it. DON'T PICK THEM UP unless you have welder's gloves. CS canisters burn as hot as 800 C.

Excuse My oops!

Server Update Oops

Oops! My apologies. I was doing what I thought was going to be a routine upgrade to Rogue Project's Friendica Instance when it became not so routine. There were a lot of fixes I had to apply to the update process to get it to take. This took longer than I anticipated. Sorry for not letting everyone know I was going to update and putting the server into maintenance mode before the update. I thought it would not matter and I would be finished before it was even noticed ... it did not work that way in reality. 🙁

Well, despite the burp, and about an hour or more downtime I did get the latest version of Friendica installed. So I hope that you all enjoy my pain 😀. Enjoy the new edition, I hope it brings more fixes than bugs! 😉

Please, feel free to let me know what you do, or do not, like about the upgrade. As long as you do not expect me to do anything about it right away. 😉

Routine Clean Up

Routine Clean Up

I provide a very small Instance due to the limitations of my VPS. I actually have no idea how many active users I could support as I have never had more than 4 or 5 active users at one time in the year that I have been providing this service. I have the user limit cap set for 100 users. I will adjust this as I see how much the VPS can actually handle in practice.

With that said I have continually advised and will reiterate that if you are going to need to take a sabbatical, which is completely understandable, let me know. I want to make sure that there are slots open for new users. So I am constantly deleting inactive accounts. Typically I delete an account that has no use or login for 60 days. I also check profiles to be sure the account is not being used for marketing which is prohibited on this Instance. So if you have to be away for more than 60 days, let me know so your account does not get deleted.

The DOJ announced this 3.5 million document release is it. They won’t be releasing anything else, even though there are still 3 million pages left unreleased. They claim those documents are “non-responsive” or “irrelevant” or fall under one of the exceptions in the statute. (Translation: That’s where the really damning stuff is.)

Okay, I consider myself well read, owning more than 2000 books 😉 and have read countless more. Since I learned to read at 3 years old I have never spent a day without reading. Yet, I had not heard of Connie Willis in more than just passing until you started posting links to her WordPress site. I have enjoyed the site and I have even ordered a few of her books from Thriftbooks. I purchase 'The Best of Connie Willis' and 'Crosstalk'. Do you read her material? If so is there anything you would recommend that I buy?

It's most unfortunate that most of the stuff I boost over at My Portal doesn't propagate over to Rogues despite my Rogue account following my My Portal account. This post came in via MOULE , which won't even come up on a Search on Rogues. Remember the #gravy movement? it's now become the #BananaChicken movement and I for one have an appetite for some Banana Chicken Gravy.

...the DOJ released another big batch of Epstein files today. They are now using the Epstein files to distract from the ICE/Gestapo Minneapolis mess, which was intended to distract from the Epstein files.

Another approach to #selfhosting - this time with quite limited list of functions and more wisdom, I hope.
It is going to be on my trusty Thinkpad x220 with 16 GB and 1 TB ssd, with #Debian and contenerised stack of:
- #Wordpress CMS
- #Moodle #LMS
- Nextcloud AIO

So, obviously, I am writing here to tap some #hivemind wistom, specifically

  • What is the least painful way to learn #Docker up to the level I need for this deployment?
  • What is the best Moodle LMS image available? I did some research and obviously there is no "official" or "aio" image available. I do not believe I am competent enough to pack my own container, so any and all help would be appreciated.

If you setup Moodle on a lamp stack instead of using Nextcloud you may find that containers are not even required for your project at all. Not to say containers are bad. I use them for many projects. Just the project I am using them for are intended to be scalable and run as microservices on a distributed network of servers. I also use them in software development which is another topic.

In that case I propose two projects:
- Project A. Web applications on LAMP
- Project B. Learn Docker

Project A covers target 1, therefore has higher priority and should be tackled first. There are tons of LAMP instructions, from setting up the LAMP platform, installing WordPress, installing Moodle, etc. If you are new to Moodle, your starting point could be docs.moodle.org/en/Installatio… or choose one from docs.moodle.org/en/Category:In…. Either way ask in the Installing help forum on moodle.org.

I am pretty confident I can install "raw" Wordpress (done many times) and Moodle (thank you for pointing me in the right direction).

The only thing I need to confirm is how to install #Nextcloud #AIO without containers (it is contenerized by default).

OK, more checking is in order. Thank you for now - will publish updates here for sure.

OK. Now we are talking about a whole palette of web applications. One has to look at them individually:
- WordPress and Moodle: We both agree that LAMP is feasible and in case of Moodle, the official method.

- Nextcloud: I did only a few "trial" installations. Then followed the official method, which comes packaged in Docker. Everytime it worked! But don't ask me how to maintain it or debug in case of problems. You don't have to, there's a huge choice, see docs.nextcloud.com/server/stab…
