I am playing with Proxmox, so things might be up-and-down periodically. Though I think it's all ironed out for now.

Crisis averted? Debian is updated to Bullseye (11) I might keep going to 12 after taking a snapshot.

reCapcha is enabled again.

The "Stop Spam" plug-in is installed and should be blocking emails and user-names from known spam bots.

I'm not 100% sure what started the bot army's assault. But I am pretty sure it had something to do with updating the forum software. We should be good now.

Now we are on an HP prodesk 600 G5 i5-9500 system that came off ebay for $60. Supposedly better for plex and things that need to encode video with the iGPU.. The old system had a $10 PCIe card that did display and nothing else.

I made the HP a HDD-hat.. 

Star gets the ryzen to upgrade her gaming rig.

I updated the forum software. It broke some themes. Sorry if anyone was using them. Not that anyone uses anything here.

Happy November, everyone. Hope life is treating y'all well enough.

I think the server might have been down for a while. And then it was broken from the upgrade from Buster -> Bullseye

Currently playing with docker (I wanted to try something called "Immich" for hosting my own pictures) - I should bumble around to updating this forgotten corner soon.

They should all be done burning by now... hopefully not to just flare up again next month. We need rain.

I got a good deal on a Ryzen 5 3500 6-Core system... so as of yesterday, that. Before then it was on a 4-core 4th gen i5. It runs Minecraft and Plex too.. so it's not completely overkill

After looking at the docker option... it seems like too much work for almost zero gain. At least for something already working.

I'm thinking of moving to a dark theme for the forum. Any thoughts? Like this one.  http://smftheme.byethost18.com/index.php?theme=5&i=1


Edit. I installed a few themes to test. One is a dark theme and the other has a dark-mode option.
Go here to try them out: https://forum.randomland.net/index.php?action=profile;area=theme

Yay, it's back!  What machine is the server running on these days?
