@Vivaldi @luetage sometimes you just have to look at things from a different angle.

It felt like an appropriate t-shirt to wear for pushing today's release.

Some pictures from my walk to the office

A view of the bridge across the bottom of the Beierbrua waterfall. Snow is falling heavily and is deep on the ground.
A view of the Beierbrua waterfall. In the foreground is a sign upon which snow can be seen piled high. Also pictured: a stranger with their dog, and a lamppost that is also piled high with snow.
Another view of ร…mot bru over the Akerselva river, this time taken from the bridge itself. Snow is currently falling, and lies deep on the ground.

@Vivaldi and yes, you can still see the water flowing under the ice

My blog (@coxy) is hosted on a very small server package from the hosting company. It costs me about ยฃ10/month and does the job just fine.

Until I installed the plug-in on and now every interaction I get from to my WordPress blog takes the site offline.

:kakao_confused:

thomasp,
@thomasp@vivaldi.net avatar

@matt In what way does the site go offline? Does the PHP service get killed?

Does anything show up in the error logs?

thomasp,
@thomasp@vivaldi.net avatar

@matt certainly doesn't seem good...

Might be worth asking your hosting provider if they have any idea what's happening. If it is somehow taking down the PHP-FPM service (or whatever PHP backend is in use), then that's pretty unusual, and something they should look at.

thomasp,
@thomasp@vivaldi.net avatar

@matt Could be, yes. If PHP-FPM isn't configured for a high performance setup, it could well get overwhelmed by a flood of requests like that.

Either the settings need tweaking (which is probably a thing only the hosting provider could do), or use of server-side caching could help.

thomasp,
@thomasp@vivaldi.net avatar

@matt I'm curious if those requests for / are fetching with a JSON accept header, or if they're actually fetching the HTML of the front page. Can't remember enough about the fediverse workings...

Remembering that time 1 year ago when, in a period of just over 1 week, our team set up a brand new Mastodon instance in our own datacenter, integrated it with our existing account login system, gave it a little Vivaldi styling, and somehow managed to launch it all successfully.

So, the largest party after Monday's election in my hometown (Christian Democrats, 6/21 seats) did not get the mayor after all. Instead, 4 other parties went behind their back and formed a majority coalition (11/21 seats). One of them is the Labour party which the winner refused to talk to.

I love it. I just sent a message to the mayor elect, congratulating him on playing the game well. ๐Ÿ˜

(It's a small town, everyone knows everyone, and I grew up with the guy.)

@thomasp@vivaldi.net avatar

@veronica It is nice to live in a functioning democracy where a plurality is not enough to give a party absolute control. I do wish this were also the case in my former home country.

Happy birthday to 's :debian: distribution, which was established on this day 30 years ago by Ian Murdock. ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅณ
We're proud to have been available on Debian since the very first version of :vivaldi_red: . :tony_wee:

@Vivaldi and today I learnt that I share a birthday with Debian ๐Ÿ‘

Still happily using Debian on my own personal server projects to this day ๐Ÿ˜€
