schestowitz__I have just spent 20 mins trying to hunt down the name of a 4-letter tool you mentioned for IP addresses being dynamicFeb 11 04:18
schestowitz__along the way found https://www.noip.com/download?page=linuxFeb 11 04:18
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.noip.com | Dynamic Update Client (DUC) Download - Linux - No-IPFeb 11 04:18
schestowitz__I very much doubt only some CLI program would magically keep (somehow) DNS upstream updated with changes without signing up to some serviceFeb 11 04:18
schestowitz__with my webhost I don't know if there's a nice GUI through which I can manually enter changes, but I can check...Feb 11 04:19
Techrights-secIt would be possible to kludge together something if your RegistrarFeb 11 04:20
Techrights-secdoes not already offer some dynamic DNS service.Feb 11 04:20
schestowitz__I am checking the GUI they give me now at catalyst2 and I should share the password with youFeb 11 04:24
schestowitz__as rianne cannot easily handle those sorts of things if I'm away/hospital/worseFeb 11 04:24
Techrights-secmanual entry is a waste of time and effort thoughFeb 11 04:24
schestowitz__does not seem to give me even the option to add subdomains, not at this level anyway (unless it's also hosted there, I thin)Feb 11 04:26
schestowitz__*thinkFeb 11 04:27
schestowitz__maybe that is maintained at the nameserver they point to (their own)?Feb 11 04:28
Techrights-secan option for additional hostnames for the same domain /ought/ to be somewhereFeb 11 04:28

schestowitz__can I share with you the credentials?Feb 11 04:30
schestowitz__those apply to other domains of mine, good at have a fallback person not just for TR and TMFeb 11 04:31
Techrights-seccould be, but the main point of a registrar is to add/remove/change hostnamesFeb 11 04:33
schestowitz__Hi,Feb 11 04:38
schestowitz__Under my account Schestowitz.com ("schestow" is the username)  I have techrights.org as a domain. I have just carefully studied the "billing" area of my account to see if I can add a subdomain for techrights.org from there. All I can change is nameserver config and several other things. What I'd like to do, if possible, is create gemini.techrights.org and then  point that subdomain to the IP address of my home (residential),Feb 11 04:38
schestowitz__possibly updating the address associated with that subdomain each time it changes.Feb 11 04:38
schestowitz__If that possible from my side? Does that need to be done by a different procedure?Feb 11 04:38
schestowitz__Regards,Feb 11 04:38
schestowitz__RoyFeb 11 04:38
Techrights-secI guess so.Feb 11 04:38
schestowitz__https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu/ shows they have tools for keeping those things updated. At first I thought that for gopher or gemini it would typically make sense to register another domain altogetherFeb 11 04:46
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.noip.com | How to Install the Linux Dynamic Update Client on UbuntuFeb 11 04:46
Techrights-secThe menu allows adding contats / sub-accountsFeb 11 04:49
Techrights-secHowever, it looks like they may try to charge for an additional subdomain.Feb 11 04:49
Techrights-secThat should come as part of the basic package at no additional cost.Feb 11 04:49
Techrights-secIf they charge, or try to, then it is time to switch registrars.Feb 11 04:49
schestowitz__They charge me 35 pounds per domain, every 2 years, but they give me hosting for a decent price (site and email etc.) and I have been with them for ages, their support is very good, so I don't wish to moveFeb 11 04:50
Techrights-secAsk around for recommendations if that happens.  gandi was good many yearsFeb 11 04:50
Techrights-secago but I am not sure of which ones are good or bad in 2021Feb 11 04:50

Techrights-sec13 for renewal, but without VAT it will be lowerFeb 11 04:54
Techrights-secwhen you renew the domains, renew them at some new registrar not catalyst,Feb 11 04:54
Techrights-secthe transfer can be made during the renewal or right before as partFeb 11 04:54

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.gandi.net | Domain names: choose from over 750 extensions - Gandi.netFeb 11 04:54
schestowitz__I don't mind overpaying for domains, tbh, as long as part of that goes towards convincing them to UNDER-charge me for my personal site, which has generous space+bw limits and is backup up offsite, comes with real-time support etc.Feb 11 04:55
schestowitz__you can add yourself as a contact, and should, it is well overdue to be honest and will help me sleep at night (or at hospital)Feb 11 04:56
Techrights-secOk.  As long at it ends up being cost-effective.Feb 11 04:56
schestowitz__I have been with this webhost for 18 years and stayed because they were goodFeb 11 04:57
Techrights-secOk, but bureaucratically it looks better if you add the contact information.Feb 11 04:57
schestowitz__I've added it myself, only to then realise you had done that too, so now there are too almost identical records, which I guess does no harmFeb 11 05:04
Techrights-secI've entered the contact data.  You can now tick the box at the bottom of theFeb 11 05:04
Techrights-secform to actrivate that contact acccount.Feb 11 05:04
schestowitz__I have just turned off ipfs, seeing today's objects have been copied and are accessible from other nodes (I test this manually each day)Feb 11 05:08
Techrights-secOne can be deleted then.Feb 11 05:09
Techrights-secI've logged out for now and will connect with the new profile when theFeb 11 05:09
Techrights-secpassword is readyFeb 11 05:09
Techrights-secIPFS makes even SSH slow on the RPi.  Perhaps some traffic shaping on the RPiFeb 11 05:09
Techrights-secis in order?Feb 11 05:09
schestowitz__Time-limiting (around 3-5am) works OK for me, as that's enough for replication and I'm either alseep/barely active at those timesFeb 11 05:10
schestowitz__BTW, are there gemini access logs or something similar to assess access stats? The work gemini is so generic and the software barely used, so it's hard to find info on itFeb 11 05:12
Techrights-secOk, but it was unusably slow the last few hours.Feb 11 05:12
Techrights-seceven on SSHFeb 11 05:12
Techrights-secbut also GeminiFeb 11 05:12
Techrights-secI'm not sure ofthe Gemini server.  It was compiled by hand.Feb 11 05:13
Techrights-secSo the logs could be anywhere, if they exist.Feb 11 05:13
schestowitz__agate serves itFeb 11 05:13
schestowitz__another too generic a name, I can find nothing even in googleFeb 11 05:14

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-github.com | GitHub - mbrubeck/agate: Very simple server for the Gemini hypertext protocolFeb 11 05:15
Techrights-secIt has an option for silent logging.Feb 11 05:15
schestowitz__I could just use a *top tool for networking, when ipfs is turned off, to assess the impact of gemini over timeFeb 11 05:16
Techrights-secthat is to say an option to turn off loggingFeb 11 05:16
schestowitz__"Agate uses the env_logger crate and allows you to set the logging verbosity by setting the default RUST_LOG environment variable. For more information, please see the documentation of env_logger."Feb 11 05:18
Techrights-secCurrently it is running with the -s option.Feb 11 05:21

Techrights-secsee alsoFeb 11 05:21
Techrights-sec$ cat /etc/systemd/system/agate.serviceFeb 11 05:21
Techrights-secThe cert is tied to the temporary host name though.Feb 11 05:21
schestowitz__yes, I plan to change that when we have something permanent, it's a one line command, see gemini bash_historyFeb 11 05:21
schestowitz__btw, did you ever manage to find debian/buster binaries for something like kristall?Feb 11 05:22

schestowitz__we have incident!Feb 11 09:03
schestowitz__about 15 minutes ago I added a node to drupalFeb 11 09:03
schestowitz__and now the front page does not list all the latest stories, maybe there are related issues tooFeb 11 09:04
schestowitz__this happened in the past when the cms went kind of funky and I'm not sure we had a fix other than recovery from DB dump, thought I might be wrongFeb 11 09:04

schestowitz__gunzipping latest dumpFeb 11 09:30
schestowitz__importing DB, fingers crossedFeb 11 09:32
schestowitz__it seems to be restricting itself to one cpu core when restoring, which means it is slow, but it's the outcome I care about rather than the speed.Feb 11 09:51
schestowitz__aha, fixed. Short story, IMPORTANT TO DOCUMENT THIS and remember for years to come:Feb 11 10:00
schestowitz__1) restored from recent dumpFeb 11 10:00
schestowitz__2) did not fix the issueFeb 11 10:00
schestowitz__3) it's not caching eitherFeb 11 10:00
schestowitz__4) container/vm does not show disk space by partitionFeb 11 10:00
schestowitz__real issue was,Feb 11 10:00
schestowitz__5) /TMP running out of spaceFeb 11 10:01
schestowitz__6) the DDOS attacks likely filled it upFeb 11 10:01
schestowitz__7) last night's attacksFeb 11 10:01
schestowitz__8) so no need really to shed off cache, resort to backups etc.Feb 11 10:01
schestowitz__just rm -f /tmpFeb 11 10:01
Techrights-secmakes sense, since the file is being processed sequentiallFeb 11 10:02
Techrights-sec(I resume)Feb 11 10:02
Techrights-sec^presumeFeb 11 10:02
schestowitz__in case I forget or am not around, make mental note: (I think we had a similar incident years ago) if front page does not show latest stories and all else is fine, check if disk space ran out. df on that machine does not work correctly.Feb 11 10:03
schestowitz__gzipping the dump again, to spare space on /home ... will not manually restore the diffs between last dump and what we got rid of. Upside: we did get to actually test the backup regime. Time to import full drupal DB is about 20-30 minsFeb 11 10:05
schestowitz__done, all restored. It's a good thing the dump was recent enough, so all I had to restore was one comment and two nodes. I think we should better separate apart remote and local backups. I also noticed that we have not yet brought up to date the TM backup scripts in ~/bin (IP addresses have changed)Feb 11 10:11
schestowitz__I think that when we did have an identical issue in the past it was not /tmp running out of space but root, as we dumped the DBs into root rather than /home and sometimes the dumps would add up and overfill /root whereupon front page of TM looks all weird. We really need to mentally document all those symptoms and causes to help identify where the culprit may be.Feb 11 10:13
