A quick one as no-one seems to have written it down properly.

|
|
|
||
|
|
Mailcow ( [https://mailcow.email](https://mailcow.email)) is a dockerized mail system. By default it will run on port 80 and port 443 of an IP address, so it occupies the web addresses of, say, a cheap VM.

[Systemd version 256](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256) has been rolled out in several distributions recently, including Arch and Debian and variants. It adds a feature where user sessions are frozen when the system enters sleep, but in my case, running Manjaro Linux with KDE on a Gen 1 Lenovo T14, this meant that when …

Yes, this is probably a bit search spammy (like search actually works any more), but it\\s an interesting little fix and a view into how certbot works. Apart from when new posts are published, a server I manage is served wholly from Cloudflare. We have recently migrated it and …

## Preamble ramble

|

|
There aren't a lot of real world examples of using [BTRFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs) around online. Some of the most useful advice I found was in r/BTRFS on Reddit but it's hard to actually find user experiences beyond the theroretical.

This is sort of one, but the tl;dr is …

I set up [offworld.fedisonic.cloud](https://offworld.fedisonic.cloud) when it was apparent that Twitter was going to start circling the drain pretty quickly. I had an idea of running a Mastodon instance for anyone in my circle who wanted it, but with my usual overambition I started to think that it could …

[Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org) is a [federated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse) photo sharing service that is an alternative to [Instagram](https://instagram.com) and uses [ActivityPub](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/) to share posts across other services such as [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.com), [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) and indeed WordPress. It is one of the more mature Fediverse apps and has been in continuous development for several years.

This is a bit of a niche one, not least because `network-scripts` is _supposed_ to be on its way out as a configuration method, despite [cPanel](https://cpanel.net) still not supporting NetworkManager properly. No problem people, it's only been around for ten years.
