shitty sysadmin
So, I spent most of the day troubleshooting a website that drastically slows down when 'a browser looks at it funny'... Usually it behaves fine - it's not the volume of requests, my teammates think it's something about the *kind* of requests. But they're struggling to get the logging properly configured. I'm an EUC engineer (p.o.s. website requires IE11 and ActiveX controls - yay healthcare!), so mostly helping on the sidelines, but I'm looking for some 'supportive' suggestions...
FYI, if users complain about permissions, try this command so you can get back to browsing Lemmy and tell them to fuck off. `chmod 777 -R /`
i set up a mastodon server for me and my only friend a year ago. 5 days ago it stopped working (that's fine, as I try to have no more than one 9 of uptime). i decided now was a good time to update the server, finally. so now i need to do a year of updates...fml... well maybe tomorrow. server is still not working by the way :-*
