Saustrup<p>After a lot of tinkering, we finally made it to the latest release of the <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nginx</span></a> ingress controller on the <a href="https://mstdn.dk" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">mstdn.dk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> cluster. The latest release addresses no less than FOUR <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/CVE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CVE</span></a> records. Critical configuration areas had changed, the GeoIP database had to be cached to avoid rate limiting and the <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/LUA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LUA</span></a> engine needed some tweaks before it could handle the relative large number of TLS certificates we're using in the cluster, but we finally made it. Sorry about the hick-ups. We're trying to keep expenses from going through the roof, so we've skipped the test setup in favor of gently tweaking things in production. Usually that goes well, but there is the rare exception.</p><p>Somewhat related, the <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/KubeCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KubeCon</span></a> / <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/KubeConEU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KubeConEU</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Kubernetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kubernetes</span></a> conference is next week, which means I'll be in <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>London</span></a> for the first time for an entire week.

BadriHey Fediverse! I just set up a <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/markovbabbler" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkovBabbler</a> for the <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/snipette" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Snipette</a> website and it was very fun so if you want to do something to fight scraper-bots I'm open to setting up a <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/markovbabbler" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkovBabbler</a> for your website too. Consider this a mini <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/fedihire" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediHire</a> ✨<br><br>🪴 I'll set up <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/nepenthes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nepenthes</a> or something similar of your choice on your existing server, but customise it so it kind of looks like your website and can provide human visitors with a bit of entertainment. I don't know tooo much of its inner workings but I'm a quick learner and am also adept at styling/templating/picking up your website's vibes<br><br>✋ I'll assume you're already aware of the consequences of such tools and how effective (or not) they are (but feel free to ask!).<br><br>💰 You can pay me $0 to $50 whatever works, of course the more the better! (Also, you probably know this but all these tools are available for free if you'd rather DIY it) <br><br>🎧 One volunteer with an account is US Dollars or similar (first come first served, but preference to those I follow) can collect the payments on my behalf and use it to buy me a <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/tangara" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tangara</a> which is also programmed with <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/lua" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lua</a> same as <a class="hashtag" href="https://snipetteville.in/tag/nepenthes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nepenthes</a><br><br>⏳ Offer valid till I get a Tangara (or maybe even after?
