  • If no referrer header is sent, CF will let it through. You can copy + paste the url into a new tab to get to it, but I'm guessing some apps don't provide a referrer.

  • Can’t upvote posts anymore from my Piefed.ca account

    Jump

  • Hmmm, I've been working on some caching changes with Rimu but I've also enabled our second webserver again. I've turned off both again for now, is that better?

  • Firm quietly boosts H.264 streaming license fees from $100,000 up to staggering $4.5 million — backbone codec of the internet gets meteoric increase, AVC hikes follow disastrous H.265 licensing increa

    Jump

  • Via LA told Streaming Media that it contacted unlicensed media companies during 2025 to give them “a window to secure a license” under the previous terms, but the company didn’t go to the trouble of issuing a press release or public announcement, opting instead for direct outreach. Any company that didn’t respond or wasn't contacted now faces the new rate structure as its starting point for negotiations.

  • This might be my fault, not the app. I made some caching changes to piefed.ca yesterday to improve performance. Will take a look later today

    Edit: No not related to my changes but I've applied a fix, can you see if it still happens now?

  • Any Victoria Logs advice or alternatives

  • Yeah I use VL for lemmy.ca and it's super quick and lightweight, but getting what you want into grafana can be difficult.

  • Any Victoria Logs advice or alternatives

    Jump

  • Elastic is heaaaaavy. You might want to check out Loki, I haven't used it but I think it'd be easier to get started with than Victoria logs since it integrates tightly with grafana

  • Lemmy.ca and piefed.ca are no longer cloudflared

    Jump

  • Yeah 😢 , my phone went off and woke me up this morning. It's also represented on https://status.fedecan.ca/

    I did a whack of tuning on Sunday, banning bots and adding the second piefed server back in. That seems to have mostly stabilized lemmy, but piefed is a little more rocky still. May need to give me to the end of the long weekend to try to things back close to 100% uptime.

    I am missing cloudflare a little now 😂

  • I prefer network in the middle. When you're running 3-5 cables per host, it helps keep the cable density managable.

  • Any Victoria Logs advice or alternatives

    Jump

  • VL is really about aggregation, not displaying it. You'd probably just need to setup a grafana dashboard with filters for all your normal traffic

  • Should I get a Macbook Pro or Air?

    Jump

  • No you can't run Linux effectively on anything higher than an m2 (yet).

    An air would is fine for most people.

  • Your flap is probably leaking, they need to be replaced every few years. Look inside your tank for the (usually black) flap that seals the hole at the bottom.

  • Performance wasn't great since their nodes are East Coast and our server is west coast.

  • Does that mean we're not even going to get a nice ending for season 2?

    Hopefully they had enough of a sense it was coming to wrap things up.
