Friendica.Eskimo.Com was getting to be a bit slow. Did some analysis of redis and mariadb configuration and found some places to improve performance and it seemed to have a pretty significant impact upon responsiveness.

Still trying to get images to display automagically in misskey, if anyone knows the magic juju please let me know.

We had hardware problems before and it took four motherboards to finally get one that completely worked. We had originally gone with a Thermaltake 1000 watt power supply. It became unstable so we replaced it with a Gigabyte supply. Then we had motherboard issues. We started with an Asus board, one of the four memory channels died so not all of the system memory was visible to the CPU. We replaced it with a second and it just up and died. We ordered a Gigabyte board but it would not post with this cpu, so then an Asrock, the Asrock board could not handle the power requirements of this particular CPU and melted the solder connection of the power at the CPU socket after 18 hours of operation. Then we learned that the issue with the Gigabyte board was the BIOS, so we upgraded the BIOS and then it mostly worked. Then the Gigabyte power supply got ill, so we replaced with a Seasonic 1200 watt power supply. There is still an issue with the RAPL code in the kernel and if the CPU is allowed to get hot enough to where the kernel tries to downclock to cool it, it can lock up. So at this point we have the hardware issue resolved, but there is still some stability issue in the kernel. This however will only cause a short outage for us to drive to the co-lo and boot it rather than the long and right now it tends to go several weeks between crashes. Of course we would like it not to crash at all. But I believe the hardware issues are resolved at this point. The Gigabyte board appears to be capable of providing the power this CPU requires (as much as 540 watts with all 18 cores and 36 threads fully occupied at 4.8Ghz) and the Seasonic 1200 watt power supply appears up to the task and we know there is still active development of the RAPL code in the kernel for this CPU so hopefully this will get fixed. I am also putting together another machine with similar architecture that should be capable of acting as a backup in the event of another lengthy failure. So while life offers no guarantees, I believe we have it better stabilized.

I might add, how much and how fast I can get things done are largely a factor of funding. If you subscribe to some of our paid services such as web hosting, virtual private servers, e-mail, shell accounts, then we can do more things with the free services.

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer five different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, Enterprise and Super-Max. Shell types very principally in amount of disk quota provided. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security

Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

Yesterday members of the Downtown Berrigan Collective, based in #Ithaca, NY, and other upstate peace activists went to the #Syracuse Federal Building to demand access to the offices of our US Senators Schumer and Gillibrand in order to exercise our right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. We wished to impress upon them the urgency of cutting off offensive weapons for Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples. When we were denied access we staged a sit-in in the security checkpoint area of the building. We were eventually dragged out of the building by Federal Marshals, and we continued our action outside the doors. One of us, Ellen Grady, was arrested by the Federal Department of Homeland Security Police.

The Senate will vote this week on blocking $20 billion in weapons to Israel.

Here is our statement:
**No More Weapons to Israel! Stop Arming Genocide!**

Israel has repeatedly and systematically targeted civilians in Gaza using US-supplied weapons, destroying civilian infrastructure including homes, schools and universities, hospitals, mosques and churches, and temporary shelters in so-called "safe zones" in Gaza. In addition, Israel's deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war, alongside its denial of water, electricity, and medical supplies, constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law. Now, expanding its relentless bombardment, it has killed more than 2,400 Lebanese people, carrying out massacres and mass forced displacement in Lebanon, and dragging the entire region into full-blown war.
It is against US law to send a single weapon to any country grossly violating human rights. 61% of Americans say they want to cut off weapons to Israel. Our tax dollars must not be used for another illegal, immoral weapon giveaway to Israel!
For the first time in U.S. history, there will be a vote in Congress to block weapons to Israel. Senators Bernie Sanders (VT), Peter Welch (VT), Jeff Merkley (OR), and Brian Schatz (HI) have introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop a $20 billion weapons shipment approved by the Biden administration. 

We have come to the James M. Hanley Federal Building today to urge, even implore, New York's US Senators Schumer and Gillibrand to support the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval that would block the sale of offensive U.S. weaponry to Israel. The vote on these resolutions is imminent. The JRD is the only mechanism available to Congress to prevent these arms sales and we believe it is the Senators' legal and moral imperative to support and vote for the resolutions.
