merry christmas.

December 11

So that might coincide with me updating the reverse proxy. Thank you for the pointer.

Small update: i havent found the cause yet. Im still on it.
While you wait see it as retro. Vintage (DSL)modem speeds

Hi,

you are right its about 1Mbit/s up. Thats why to little for the bandwidth and load the setup has.
I will look into this.

Update: seems to be the reverse proxy. Im unsure as of know why it behaves that way.
is the problem new?

you might need to flush your cache. as i said shipf-click your reload button or refer to your browsers help on how to get the site loaded and not just displayed from cache.
If youre still having problems please give me more details so i can debug it.

November 19

The blank page problem is fixed.

If its not for you try shift +click reload button.

was quite a journey. the details are in my last posts.

if you still have problems please tell me here.

tech mumbo jumbo:

i updated ates to 9.x. i had a temp problem with in between apache webserver throwing 400 errors. i had to fix it too and now it seems to do what it supposed to. i still need to iron out some stuff from mighrating all the old config entries to the new files and strucutres in ats. also 10.x got released so theres that as well as http/3 support to implement.

November 14

Update on the FF132 issue:

short version for non technical persons: its an avalance of work to get th^is going but i have an idea what to try.

longer version for eggheads

- the ats (apache traffic server) issue i opened after getting poitners form the mozilla issue told me to get an more up to date ats version.

- im runnign ats 8.x now and need to jump at least to 9.x or even 10.x

- ubuntu/debian are to oldschool to have these package versions.

- fedora 41 server has 9.2 with 9.6 in rawhide (testing) and 10.0.2 in submission to testing but non of the needed extra plugins. (i would need to compile them on my own)

- alpine linux has 9.2.5 in testing and all the plugins but im new to that distro and feel a bit uneasy using stuff from testing in critical prod envs.

- in any case jumping by 1-2 major versions will have me redo all the folders ull of config files (thy switched from "strange" to yaml)

- im not home till the end of the week and need to have at least a day of sitting down rewriting and debugging stuff to get this working.

- i do thinking about compiling stuff on my own like in the olden days but id wish i could use package managers to keep things up to date.

more advancements by mid next week is my guess

im rooting for firefox and feel sad for not allowing its current version on my sites but it has to wait.

any help with these issues: e.g finding rpm packets of the plugins for ats 9.2.5 or rpms for newer traffic servers would be great.

you can also join the chat (link on spacedock) to pitch in.

November 11

At least my site isnt the only one then.

so my plan is to open an issue with apache traffic server refering to the mozilla one. i cant find anything that fixes my issue in the ats docs.

i also need a way to deploy the latest ats version as lxc. i cant update to the latest ubuntu lts ver in the lxc on proxmox. it wont boot. so any idears in that department on how get a distro (any that has lxc templates in proxmox) to get ats 10 running?

November 10

was on an event showing off ksp.

i will investugate how i can implement a fix in apache traffic server sinc its the one that does the client https connection.

if anyone wants to gi ahead and suggest ats settings to change/put in youre welcome.

p.s. is this forum flake too? i had a hard time posting all threse webserver errors.

November 5

i was unsure if the lookup does work. browsers have all sorts of things with dns they (can) do nowdays like dns over https. so the fact the os can lookup doesnt mean the browser can and is happy.

the result is one ipv4 and one ipv6 because ipv6 has higher priority the network stack will auto use that if ipv6 is available and only fall back to v4 if not or connection fails.

i will try to fix dnssec. its a good idear anyways. is there a way to get more debugging data than the error page we get?

i can say that the problem exists for all my domains that use the apache traffic server rev proxy spacedock uses.

so either it IS the domain setup (because i did it based on templates i made for all of them), the dns server or the rev proxy. In terms of versions for ATS (rev proxy) im a bit restricted because theres no distro i can run that has newer versions on offer as packets. but they are recent enough (at least they should).

so bottom line:

we dont have any clue what the issue is and thus how to solve it (yet)

November 5

Yes ive added the needed DS RR in my domain providers panel but gotten an error from the info registry. ive opened a ticket on sundy with my domain provider but he hasnt gotten back to me yet i will cal him today.

as you said i doubt this is suddenly a problem that should be taken so serious. but i think the "chain of trust" error of firefox gives us the clue that it might be it.

November 4

i had a lot of problems with uptimes for the past month. ckan also does mirror mods whos lincense allow it to github.

Apart form that its normaly that i dont change things but browsers add new restrictions that prevent the site from working there.

November 3

What i know so far:
i can reproduce the problem under Fedora 41 with FF 132.
In general many pages have a delay in loading fromt ime to time so somethign with first contact or lookup is amiss.

I indeed am missing the DS record in the TLD so the chain of trust IS broken. DNSEC sould be optional and a site laod shouldnt fail because of it not being supportetd by an NS.
I added the missing entries for approval by the info registry but i got an error /delayed back. A Ticket with my domain registry is pending (its sunday).
The mozilla changelog doesnt tell me what theyve changed that causes these problems.

Someone could test this in other browsers like chrome.

If they fail they might have better error messages.

For now im waiting for word to get back from support.
Workarround for now: dont use FF 132?

November 2

i did a thing.

November 2

Hi,

im trying to setup ksp in kiosk mode to bring it to events.

Im using:
Fedora Server 41
cage
xwayland
nvidia closed drivers (900 series gpu)

after mayn hoops its working as expected BUT

the mouse cursor is invisible in game
the mouse works as expected otherwise (can click and move around)

using intel igpus or nouveau drivers works.

So it must be something with the closed nvidia drivers.

Ideas?

Working again.
Quite the journey.

Techno babel:

Spoiler

im using apache trafficserver.
My oddyse trough many distros in many versions:
ubuntu 20->22->24 not booting inside lxc anymore
direct install of ubuntu 22 gets ATS 9.1 that seems to have a bug with ssl / https remaping
went to fedora server 38 same ATS ver.
updated proxmox to 8 something in hopes i could get a 6.x kernel and maybe a newer fedora ver
still fc 38 so i manualy updated to 40 and it didnt boot anymore.
retried different ubuntu versions but no other than 9.1 was avialable with the same bug.
infos that its fixed in ats 10 so i tried compiling 10 but didnt have the nerve to watch it compile and then burn.
info that thers a 10 rc0 package for fedora but couldnt find it
finaly the acceptance i had to go back to ubuntu 20 and ats 8
Thats where we now and all because i thought i should maybe update the rev proxy container to something newer than ubuntu 20 and maybe even find an ats ver that supports http/3 (releasenotes for 10 say nope anyways)

So thats half of my day ruined and me closer to heart problems

August 30

I foolishly thought i could update the os on the rev proxy. now the rev proxy has all manners of bugs.
in other words: ims weating over it

Hi,

i was made aware of this eu petition to but in law the right to continue the ability to play games after they are abandoned by their developer:

Hi,

im sorry for the outages this month. Stuff crashed and all i had was a "smart" phone whoes "keyboard" and child like ui made me angry.

At least i can say: i did manage to cycle to a 10 year long ksp community buddy in Sweden and we meet up for the first time. Took only 2.5 Mm to get to him. Not even as far as a proper ksp mission.

Now im back at kicking bits for you to let you have the mods you desire for the game you love.

May 10

The DC has blocked the server infrastructure. Im working on it.

Took some convincing that ksp is no acronym for some piracy ring.

April 24

There was some klang in the klong system and the reverse proxy ran out of snacks. all topped up now.

March 11

i had hickups of about 5 minutes form time to time

February 6

Hi,

ive to reboot the server real quick. Sorry for the missing heads up.

Hold your downloads

Done.

December 8, 2023

Fixed.
What we can learn: theres a need for devs looking over the code to catch problems with old code on new module versions.
Anyone?

December 8, 2023

Hi,

The site is currently offline.

Im working on it

November 15, 2023

Had a small DNS Problem that caused a bit of downtime. Sorry.

(Why does Powerdns add DB columns and not add them in updates?)
