@bender@twtxt.net Shellcheck is great but I hope you don’t care about a low package count for screenshots like some people.

I recently installed Scrutiny for disk health monitoring and Healthchecks for cron job monitoring. They both have nice Web UIs and alert functionality, but I hacked together a little status report that runs whenever I log into my server using their APIs.

mitmproxy is not un-escaping for readability:

Do browsers not percent-encode URLs automatically? They did in the past, right? For some reason I thought they still did, but they showed the original URL in the bar for readability.

I just used mitmproxy and pasted that URL and it didn’t escape it at all.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am on the “Non-Production Site” plan with NearlyFreeSpeech which means I’m limited to 1 GiB per day of bandwidth and am occasionally subjected to “low-risk tests and betas”. The implication is that there may be downtime on my site but I haven’t noticed any since April of 2020 when I began hosting with them. It’s 1 cent per day as a base cost for that plan.

I also pay $1 per gigabyte-month for storage and I am using 9.29 MiB which means I pay a little less than one cent per month. It used to be even less than that, but since I started using Git the complete Git history is stored on the server as well as the live copy of the site.

There is an additional charge of 1 cent per 44.64 “RAUs”, their measurement combining CPU and memory usage over time. On the Non-Production plan, only resources used by processes other than the Web server are counted. I don’t believe I have ever been charged for this.

Here is my billing report for 2023 so far.

I would personally love to see the Git log provided as a twtxt feed. Gitea’s feed situation is still awful. I don’t think anybody skimmed the Atom spec before they released the feature.

@tkanos@twtxt.net I like to ask the same question about PRISM. Just look at the reach the NSA had in 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM#The_slides

Boy, I wonder what they’re doing with the massive Utah Data Center which was completed in 2014.

I finally got my stats script into a usable state.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Yeah, I also noticed that. Here’s version 3. It should be a little more accurate now.

Fosscord doesn’t count.
