Freedom Box


If you download as a disk image, it is using btrfs file systems. I've never been fond of them because of stability issues but I thought well, it's been a few years since I last played with them maybe has improved. Well, my instance lasted about two weeks before it ate it's file system. The other thing I did not like is that it was setup for a standard BIOS and would not boot on a UEFI system, so for both of these reasons I decided instead to start with a Debian Bullet virtual machine and install freedom box on it, but after doing so it rendered the networking totally non-functional, so now I'm trying to troubleshoot that.

Mail and Web Maintenance


I intent to take the mail and web servers down tonight at 11pm Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7) to make backup images. This is just a way to quickly restore the mail server or web server if something catastrophic happens to their file systems. The mail server should take about 1/2 hour and the web server probably similar. Don’t know exactly as I have not made an image backup since moving it to flash storage.

This will affect friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, and nextcloud.eskimo.com/.

Interestingly, this article gives 404 errors in some regions (mine), but is accessible via vpns or tor so if you can't get to it directly try one of those.

Kernel Upgrades Friday 4/15 11pm-Midnight


I’m going to upgrade all of the system kernels to 5.17.3 on Friday April 15th between 11pm and midnight Pacific time.

I would have stuck with the 5.16 kernel until hell froze over if Linus had chose to make it a long term supported kernel, but unfortunately he did not. 5.15 did not perform well and is the previous long term release. As near as I can tell, a kernel has to have garbage performance in order to be considered for long term support.

Anyway, I expect reboots to be done by 11:30 and then the next half an hour will be fixing any broken NFS/NIS mounts and given that they’ve done major work on NFS, probably will see some new unfamiliar NFS issues. So if this update runs past midnight that is probably why.

This will effect all Eskimo’s web services including our main website eskimo.com/, nextcloud nextcloud.eskimo.com/, friendica at friendica.eskimo.com/, and hubzilla at hubzilla.eskimo.com/.

New Capability for Private Virtual Servers


We now offer cockpit control panel for our virtual private servers if they are a debian derived system such as debian, ubuntu, mint, mxlinux, zorin, julinux, etc.

I’ve been down on control panels in general for security reason but this one looks good as it does not require any special privileges and only gives the user access they would have logged into a shell in terms of permissions. Permissions can be elevated in the same way they could from a shell, so if a user is in a group such as admin, they get the access that goes with it in cockpit. The only issue is you are still using a web browser which may or may not be secure and your machine may or may not be sure but that issue exists with ssh access or x2go as well.

If you would like this installed on your Virtual Private Server initiate a support ticket with your request.

FreedomBox and Stuff


Been messing around a bit with freedombox after seeing Mudflaps post on it.

I am really impressed. What freedombox basically is, it is a pre-configured server setup based upon debian bullet and cockpit control panel and apache2 webserver.

It is very minimalized of overhead bullshit that normally is included in a debian distribution, as a result the entire image is 3.7GB and only about half of that space is used by default, but it has all the normal debian based package management and you can install anything from bullet onto it.

I discovered to my amazement and sheer delight that the disk image format used by these single board computers is EXACTLY THE SAME as that used by kvm/qemu SO I can install this and have in a kvm/qemu virtual machine and by extension anything else meant for these single board computers.

I immediately expanded the disk image to 50GB and then expanded the file system to 42GB so I could have a dedicated swap partition and install a bunch of software that didn't come packaged with it, like x2go server for remote desktop access and the mate desktop.

I continue to be amazed though at how well they shaved off the bullshit, a single terminal session running consumes only 297k of memory total! Debian itself runs only marginally on a 1GB virtual machine but this runs totally smooth, and with 4GB and 12CPUs it absolutely screams.

False Flag NYC April 18th?


They are predicting a false-flag operation in New York City on April 18th?
Will it happen, well like anything on the Internet highly unlikely but if it does, this being here prior to that date will prove it to be what it is.

Nazism in the Ukraine


Someone else posted this video except they used a link to youtube and youtube had marked the video as for over 21 only, consequently this would not allow it to be embedded or displayed unless you are over 21 and actually logged in to Youtube.

During the time I was looking for an alternate source, the original post scrolled to the point where I could no longer locate it, I was just going to add a link, so I apologize to the original author for the lack of proper credits.

Because the perpetrator was black this normally would not have gotten media coverage at all save for it being an "assault weapon" used. Never mind the fact that less than 1% of all gun shootings involve rifles and less than 10% of those "assault weapons", but hey the Libtards have an agenda.
