systemd still sucks

Main Page, Computer/Web pages

[11-Nov-2026] Sometime yesterday i could no longer upload images to the wiki. AI in google searches was no help it just wanted me to change ownership and permissions that were already set since everything worked on the 9th. It was clearly because apache updated sometime on the 10th. Finally found the fix systemd ProtectHome was set to read-only. Solving the issue but there is no reason for a service starter to restrict where those services can write, that should be some other programs job.

Server work continues	Main Page, Computer/Web pages
[07-Nov-2026] Worked on getting all the backups running today. AWS snapshots and copies of important files down to iluvatar. Had to set up postfix as an authenticated relay on iluvatar to get the backup notification mails to send.

Blueberries

Main Page, Plants

[31-Oct-2026] The blueberry bed landscape timbers are done, and about half the blueberries are dead so been letting grass grow. Needed to replace the irrigation since it was a surface tube that was in the way of mowing. Started in spring but stopped because of the heat. Finished the trench this week and replaced the irrigation with underground pvc. Today got a load of pine bark mulch (1 scoop fills jeep) and mulched them. Then went back and got another scoop for the blackberries.

Server update continues

Main Page

[30-Oct-2026] Yesterday finished updating all th wikis. Got spamassassin and amavis installed along with spamhaus free rbl. Problems because amavis wants to take over spamassassin settings. Other problems with spamassassin and feeding bayes. Still need to be able to feed bayes from roundcube and phone. plan is to put things in the junk folder then run a script once a day to clean it out. Got most the relevant non-wiki databases updated. Not sure im going to do the others. Changed the IPs so vana is morgoth and morgoth is vana now. All mail and web going to the new server. Got proper certs. Got roundcube installed no need to do manual its a package that just needs configured right. SQl backups and AWS backups of the servers and disks scheduled.
