@sloosecannon The server restart log is out of control. I keep trying to poke @ben_lubar about it but I get no reply.

@Yamikuronue If you need something more effective than a pokey stick:

maybe @boomzilla can help?
okay he cant' actually do work and fix the server, sure, but i bet he wouldn't consider tracking down Ben_lubar like a bounty actual work. :-)

I've been checking occasionally to see if there's out of control bots or something. I just looked again and I'm seeing some baidu activity that seems to be violating robots.txt. Two IP addresses in particular:
180.76.15.22 220.181.255.255
The 220 address isn't blacklisted (it's part of
220.181.0.0/16
) but the 180 should be. It is the very first range listed inblacklist.conf
:deny 180.76.0.0/16;
I've added the
220.181.0.0/16
block and reloaded the nginx config.

I will say...it's almost never just one instance that falls over. A bunch of them do so at the same time.

Is it just me that finds this term amusing? I remember the first time I heard it used. I forget how old I was, but I was definitely a kid, as I was still in school. And I thought that the term meant a server had literally physically fallen over

It's the 21st century version of cow tipping. "Hey, Billy, let's go down to the data center and knock over a bunch of servers tonight!"

@Onyx Definitely a cert issue:
Still, I can see utility in

@Onyx I have this error on some machines that lose the current date everytime they are restarted
-
@fbmac That's understandable, but my date is correct.
Also, since I couldn't find cert information I wasn't sure but yup, @RaceProUK's screenshot confirms it, botched letsencrypt deploy... it's not that hard, people, just follow the fucking instructions!

The Kama Sutra has a chapter on SSL deployments?

When China sends its bots, they're not sending their best. They're not sending @sockbot. They're sending bots that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us.

-
@RaceProUK well, I'd hope it has a section about protection. Though they should teach you how to execute a MITM...

If you don't have a proper VPS, or use some Discoursey app in a container you may end generating the certificates and installing them manually, and forget to update it.

They're malware, they're botnets, and some - I assume - are good crawlers

@Jaloopa With all those factories, when AI gets better and war drones are good enough, China will take over the world

@fbmac We already developed an algorithm in the 60s to prevent that.

What are the odds of trying to see this image on the very day the site's provided certificate expires?

@Zecc Your worldview isn't spoiled. It just expired.

The term "bounce" to restart a server was more amusing the first few times I heard it.

@loopback0
Back in the day, I knew a kid that thought it was a literal phrase, and he would literally bounce his computer when it would freeze up processing something.I know him because I was the guy he brought his PC to when the hard disk seemed to be having issues. After I replaced it and got him back up and running, I was showing him something on the PC and it was taking a few seconds to load the application (because his PC was a POS), and he reached over, picked up the front of the case about 2 inches and to my shock and horror, let it drop to the ground. "That's how I get it unfrozen," he said.....

Are you sure it was a PC and not an Apple III?

@Maciejasjmj nice. i'm not quite that old though; this was about 20 years later when the main storage was magnetic platter hard drives that don't take too kindly to such things.

@darkmatter it's called percussive maintenance

@blakeyrat would agree Apple III and then later classic macs worked great when on a free fall because they were designed to be used in zero gravity by aliens.

Also, @ben_lubar when you're done fixing the zombie server please fix uploading cover pictures.
Or bug some NodeBB developers to fix it since it's probably their fault.
