Let me start with, that I am running Raspberry Pi servers since the first Raspberry Pi was released more than a decade ago. Only problems I ever had until now, where dying SD-Cards with the first generation of RPIs. Since them I only buy really big high quality SD-Cards and I have RPI(4) servers running 24/7 for years w/o any troubles.

For a new project, I am running a web service on a Raspberry Pi ZeroW2 with an Apache reverse proxy on the same machine. Memory usage, even under load, is a maximum of 100 MB. This RPIZW2 simply dies after a few days, and I have no idea how debug this problem.

More details of the RPIZW2:

• Uses Raspbian configured via Ansible to be an exact replica of my RPI(4), only Apache and a webservice were added
• Quality power supply (original RPI hardware) and literally plugged to the same electricity circuit as the RPI(4)
• The webapp is just a ‘hello, world’ with the current time and my internet connection is not fast enough to be DOSed
• Monitored memory usage etc. for several hours and found nothing out of the ordinary
• fail2bann is active and running
• SD-card has several unused GIGs of free space and is same brand/quality as the one in the RPI(4)

Anyone experienced something similar? Has anyone an idea how to approach debugging this problem?

I am not sure that there is a better place at Lemmy for this kind of question than here. I’ll happily move this post to another place, if it is not appropriate here.

Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!

I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).

I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.

I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.

Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.

What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.

I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!

So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.

This is a really magical, special place.

Happy New Year, everyone!

It seems like there is pretty strong consensus that reformatting the SD card on a Steam deck with KDE Partition Manager *does* work to fix catastrophically slow SD card speeds, but I cannot understand *why* it works. Can anyone who knows stuff about #linux filesystems explain it to me?

New (inconclusive) blogpost: "What, if anything, should I do about using Mozilla's Firefox"

Jotting down notes of some options about Firefox, but honestly not getting very far.

Finding a sustainable, viable alternative Free/open source browser, in a state which I can use today, supporting the plugins that I use daily, which is not based on Chromium, is not easy.
