Yes, I posted when this happened. It was a database issue that I have resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience. As stated, the issues have been resolved at this point.

When I was updating the Instance to the latest version of Friendica I noticed that the Instance kept crashing due to corruption in the database. While working this out I lost the text (the actual content of the posts) to the previous posts, but no user accounts were lost. Pictures still show up as they are not stored in the database. Let me know anytime that you have an issue. I will do what I can to resolve it.

I did not delete the posts though they do look rather odd. I left that up to the individual user if they wanted update them or delete them.

Well, it has been a week since there have been any sign of a slowdown or issue with the Instance. I am going to say that converting to the systemd unit for bin/daemon and the follow up configuration changes has been successful ;-). It is nice to see everything running so smoothly.

Vegan Cardiologist Goes Carnivore! with Dr. Jami Dulaney

Cardiologist Dr. Jami Dulaney spent years eating and teaching a whole-food plant-based diet. Then insulin resistance in her own body, years of following patients, and a fresh look at the evidence caused her to reconsider what she believed about meat, eggs, saturated fat, carbohydrates, LDL cholesterol, and metabolic health.

Rogue Project's Friendica Moderation

Today I went over my moderation reports as I do each day that I login to the Instance. Yet again, to find that someone had reported someone else for expressing a different political view than they have. Folks, I am not here to advocate a specific position on a political discussion. That is what the ignore and block features are for. If the user is not being rude or disruptive then it simply is not my business to intervene. My own views are irrelevant. As long as the post or comment is in accordance to the TOS and Rules of Rogue Project's Friendica Instance then I will not moderate a specific user's political views over another user's views. Thanks for your understanding in this situation.

Rogue Project's Friendica Instance

Okay, the Instance has been very well behaved recently. Though I have noticed that there were slow downs even when the server was not under much of a load. I have revisited my PHP-FPM & PHP configuration.

I was using the CRON based invocation approach with bin/worker.php. That proved to have many issues. So I adopted the systemd invocation approach with bin/daemon.php. It has been working far better with less complications though still there was a slow down issue that should not be happening with the resources available.

As stated, I went over my configuration and found issues with settings that worked well with the CRON invocation approach but was a major bottleneck with the systemd invocation approach. I have optimized the settings and now the slowdowns should be significantly reduced if not alleviated altogether.

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Bhagavad Gita 11:32, where Krishna (in his cosmic form) speaks to Arjuna on the battlefield.

श्रीभगवानुवाच
कालोऽस्मि लोकेक्षयकृतप्रवृद्धो लोकांसमाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः।
ऋतेऽपि त्वां न भविष्यन्ति सर्वे येऽवस्थिताः प्रत्यनीकेषु योधाः॥

Real one is

"I am Time, the destroyer of worlds."

As the translation as "Death" was his teacher's rendering; the literal Sanskrit is kāla = Time. kālaḥ ~ Time , asmi ~ I am, loka-kṣaya-kṛt ~ destroyer of the worlds, pravṛddhaḥ ~ mighty, lokān samāhartum ~ to destroy the worlds, iha pravṛttaḥ ~ now engaged here, ṛte 'pi tvāṁ ~ even without you, na bhaviṣyanti sarve ~ all shall not survive, ye 'vasthitāḥ pratyanīkeṣu yodhāḥ ~ the warriors arrayed in the opposing army.

@Unus Nemo They clearly pissed me off yesterday I see.. One can't even give his opinion (It's what social media is) or they mindlessly block, no fact checking at all. It's not that I insulted them in some sort neither, and to aggravate I keep getting notifs from a topic I can't mute > so, I'll start to fine tune and hunt any sense of it to block as well from now on.
They get baseless fanatics and do not stop to annoy me with their posts, and they a lot.

Mocha Greek Yogurt

I am a hyper carnivore so I do not eat fiber. This can be difficult on my microbiome. So I eat yogurt to keep my microbiome happy ;-). I typically make my own Greek yogurt though my favorite store brand is always an acceptable standin. It must be made with whole milk as I do not eat any dairy products that are low or no fat. I add a teaspoon of instant coffee and a teaspoon of unsweetened baker's chocolate to my yogurt and sweeten it with a teaspoon of Stevia & Erythiritol extract. I typically also add a half teaspoon of bourbon vanilla. I also have a glass of GG Energy Acid Rain (peach) on the side which is a no-carb no-caffeine engery drink.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is poised for a historic breakthrough in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on September 6, 2026, potentially forming the first far-right state government in Germany since World War II. Led by Ulrich Siegmund, the party is polling with over 40% support and aims for an absolute majority, which would allow it to govern without coalition partners and bypass the traditional "firewall" that has excluded it from power.
The AfD’s agenda, outlined in its manifesto "The Country First," includes radical shifts in immigration, education, and foreign policy:
Immigration and "Remigration": The party advocates for the abolition of asylum rights, mass deportations, and the creation of separate school classrooms for refugee children. It specifically targets Ukrainian refugees for the revocation of their status and benefits.
Education and Culture: The AfD proposes a "patriotic cultural policy" that includes banning Pride flags in schools, defunding public broadcasters, and revising curricula to focus on pre-20th century German history ("More Bismarck, less Hitler") while reducing instruction on the Nazi past.
Foreign Policy: The party seeks to normalize relations with Russia, including lifting sanctions, reviving the Nord Stream pipelines, and introducing free Russian language lessons in schools, while opposing military aid to Ukraine.
Domestic Security: Plans include establishing detention centers for deportees, banning the Antifa movement, and empowering vigilante groups as auxiliary police forces.
Expand special schools (Förderschulen) for disabled children, reversing Germany's inclusion policy.
Force the federal government into negotiations on issues like asylum and all other issues.
Disrupt the consensus needed for legislation to pass smoothly.

@Unus Nemo Yes and other minorities, also this would change the UN policy regarding the Ukraine War if Germany fall's out of line. It started with populism and end in a Neo-Nazi state.
Their Manifesto is surreal.
Thing that stuns me is the normalization of Russian diplomacy and re opening trade, on one part this is ok for me as we need the LNG badly Instead of paying 3 times the price for US LNG and as you know I always opposed that war but all the rest in their agenda is a dystopian scenario.
They get ahead and prepare for the deepstate that will object them in Nazi style by just banning any opposition in advance before they reach a court.
And I sense that this trend will follow in neighboring Nations as it already is in The Netherlands , but France is close to get right as well at next presidency although it is to soon to speculate on that as that would turn West EU totally Nazi Extreme right.
I hate this all, it's a stupid time to live in.

I preferred notepad++ or using gedit or kate via mingw64 Though these days I suppose people could use WSL2 as it supports GUI applications as well.

I am completely MS/Windows free these days so it is not really an issue to me anymore. I know that some people, due to work, are force to still use that OS. I feel sorry for them. I dropped all support for all MS/Windows projects early this year as I now personally consider the entire OS spyware and unfit for use.

I am Me, It Would Be Nice if You Could be You

I am a bit different than average. Okay, maybe that is to mild of a way of looking at it. In reality my focus is never on the metrics I observe others using. For instance, I do not care what your political views are or your pronouns, biases or what your other identifiers may be. What I focus on is how you behave despite how you would like the world to perceive you. I tend to always believe a person is of the best intentions until they give evidence otherwise. In short I am evidence driven rather than being dragged around by my emotions. Does that mean I do not have emotions? Of course not, it means that how I feel about what you said is far less likely to have an effect on my view of you than my evaluation of your intent.

It is all to easy for us to say 'I do not like labels.' and this may be true. It does not change the fact that labels is how the human brain tracks. We label everything. That is how we developed language in the first place. When I think about my own identity I am not focused on accidents of birth like my hair color, eye color, race, gender, nationality. I am more concerned about the attributes I play a role in. Such as humanity, apprecitation, awareness of my surroundings, awareness of now.

It is easy to define yourself by common labels such as Christian, Atheist, Muslim, CIS, Trans, etc. How important are these to your identity and why? When a person thinks of me I would far rather their first thought be 'He really cares' than 'He is a great Software Developer'. I really do not even care what pronouns they use as long as they are comfortable with them. To me if you confuse my identity I do not find that as a flaw in you. I find it a a flaw in me. How am I not representing my ideals? How can I more clearly reflect my ideals. If I have failed in this, it certainly is not your fault. Identity is a real issue these days. Though, the next time someone tries to set boundries ask yourself this. Are they building a privacy fence around their yard or are they building a fence around my yard? Respect the fence around their yard, do not accept their trying to control the way you think or express yourself. If a person offends you at the moment then do not dwell on that. Just move past that moment to now. If they tend to always be offensive toward you then move on in a way that seems most productive. These are ideals I live by not just talk about. Were most people tend to be very critical of others. I am most critical of myself. The reason is quite simple. I control my behavior not other people's. So I am only responsible for my behavior not theirs. It is about accountability. I am me, it would be very nice if you could be you. No one else has a right to impose on who you are. The good news is that they only can if you allow them to.

Rogue Project's Friendica Online

After about 8 hours or more of work I have finally gotten the Instance back online. Unfortunately there was some data loss. Though all user accounts are still available and everything appears to be up and running smoothly now.

One huge hurdle I have had is that the developers of Friendica use Ubuntu by Canonical. I will not use anything from Canonical personally. I prefer the RHEL side of the spectrum. My workstations are Fedora which is RHEL upstream. My VPS for this Instance is Rocky Linux 9. The issue here is that Debian based distro's such as Ubuntu use AppArmor which is arguably less secure or at least less configurable than SELinux. So Friendica upstream has no concern for SELinux (to be fair they do warn that this is their position and only support Ubuntu so it is what it is) and how it effects a server using this heightened approach to security. It usually leaves me with headaches after every upgrade of Friendica. Not only because of their updates, but because of the updates Rocky Linux makes to SELinux Context causing me to have to mass re-label and configure files and directories. The changes are needed for security and not just designed to give me a headache ;-).

To any of my users that may have bumped into my Maintenance page the answer is no. No, I am not going to scrap Rogue Project's Friendica. Though it was tempting earlier today when I was looking at the hours of work I had to make sense of what was going on. The losses were minimal and I hope no one is to disappointed. At least this go around I did not lose the entire site and have to build over from scratch.


I have made some changes that I hope to be worth the effort. I have gone away from using worker.php from the cron and now use daemon.php via systemd. This should help with the SELinux issues if nothing else because the context issue will not be so wide spread. Hopefully this also helps with the memory leak issues of the worker.php. It will show just how much of a change good or bad it will have in the future. As usual time will tell.


I hope everyone has a great day! Take Care!

At least at this point I have the db corruption and its cause sorted out. I have fixed the big issue, and db bloat seems to have dwindles away as the db is now less than half its size in two days. There are still some SELinux context issues but I will sort them out soon. Then all will be smooth riding. I have learned a lot today as I usually do when the Instance goes down.

For right now it is just a matter of watching for SELinux alerts and seeing if they are valid or if I have to edit yet another context ...
