smashbot64: it was actually cosmic rays flipping bits in the RAM chips of my server. Yeah, that's it.

gary: welcome aboard, hope to see more of you

YAY Weekend! 

Been the longest 3 day work week i can remember... 

Whenever I come here, before I log in, it lands me in Road Trip>

This is new. 

Mine varies. Never really cared much, i can press the rooms button :) 

For the time being, i put the village back up on clear-net.   DNS is still propagating.

its a bare install, ill go back and sort out settings and stuff later. But its there. 

As its still on my home network its on port 8080.  That may change, depending on how hard i get hammered from the script kiddies over the next few days. If i end up with a vpn to route it thru, Ill move it back to 80.  Not going to bother sticking a proxy in there to route by referring name so i can run it all on the same incoming port, as that ended up collapsing last time due to the flooding.

With luck fail2ban helps enough. 

My port 23 has been getting pounded harder than a paid-for woman in Amsterdam.

I get regular email notices from my VPS provider that cpu exceeds 400%.

I am not the brightest when it comes to fail2ban. It seems I always miss some tiny detail...so, I let my engineers in the company mess with it.

I don't want to ask them to help me with my citadel hobby. If you get fail2ban to

Properly manage 23, 80 and 443 from citadel and webcit's perspective, could you share sort of

A walk through? 

I'm only doing it on http, nothing else.  But if it works out ill let you know.

Went to the grocery today, and while i do realize its a Sunday, there are a LOT of areas of the store with little or no stock.

Paper goods, almost gone ( TP, paper towels ). Frozen meats and potatoes, low. Canned veggies and soups are low again.  Bread scarce. Milk, low.  "Chips" mostly gone ( which seems odd to me.. must not be getting any new stock. Not seen a bag of Fritos in weeks, which annoys me.. ). Concernedly, dry dog/cat food was low too.  Not empty, but noticeably lower. Store packaged meats ( like burger, chicken ), not empty but low.

Lunch meats in the deli, seemed well stocked however. 

Cooking staples: Sugar, flour, oils, all with empty spots on the shelves, and low stock around it.  

Bad feeling this is going to be a long winter for us up here in the mid-west.  ( and temps are dropping fast.  upper 20s tomorow evening )

I like Fritos. NOW this crap is effecting my life and it needs to stop ! ;) 

If you pass thru central Indiana, yell ill drive up and meet you for lunch or something.

Speaking of things getting scarce, I will be scarce this week. I'm going to be on a business trip with only my heavily-monitored work laptop, so my attendance here on Uncensored will be slim. Keep the conversations going while I'm gone!

Wife talked to the chip dude at local Kroger."i donno, just not seeing any" . Looked at Amzaon, 12 bucks a *bag*.  Talk about taking advantage of people.   So ordered a box of bags from Walmart at the regular price, be in Thursday.. ( no additional cost, pickup at store, in that huge automated checkout tower thing so i dont even need to talk to anyone. )

Wouldn't it be ironic if this "soviet breadline preview" ended up creating a void filled by local farmers and smaller grocers and farmer's markets - and the big global corporate conglomerates put themselves out of business? 

I suspect that most people cant even tell you where the nearest farmer market is ( or locally owned food store even ), or be able to get there via public transport... I hear talk all the time about 'food deserts' as people dont know where, and cant get to the suburbs where the food is when crime and such drives a grocery chain out of town. ( pre pandemic shortage )

So many people live in cities now and are basically slaves to the machine. I doubt the machine dies.

Not saying its always the case, and i understand what you are saying, but i do know a couple of small mom/pop shops who Amazon helped them reach a much broader market they had no realistic chance of otherwise.

Etsy has done the same for a few 'artists' i know.
