    Finally dug out the redump.info (former .org - drama ensued) CD ripping machine for some maintenance and upgrading it from Kubuntu 24.04 to 26.04.

    ...It's an overbuilt machine running on two AMD Opteron Dual-Core CPUs, but the system memory capacity is pretty lacking (~4.75GB of RAM) because multiple 1GB ECC Registered DDR sticks were dying over time... otherwise it would be running on 6GB of ECC RAM.

    That system can theoretically run on 24GB of RAM, but that is 4GB per DDR stick, and... nah. Expensive, even back then, so 2GB per stick may be more reasonable.

    Found the actual issue as to why random image loading would fail... this also affected some stuff that used a lot of Javascript.

    It was a misconfiguration regarding limiting IP connections on the server. It was from a modification some few months ago (probably back in the summer) when the top-level directory was meant to be limited... but it was too limited. This affected most of the website, lol.

    ... yeah, that was chaotic. Back-end has four versions of the same cURL library version , and that is because it uses different openSSL major releases.

    From there, there are four PHP versions, each using those different versions.

    Apache httpd is still using openssl 1.1.1, however.

    All of this is manually configured... 🫣

    Updates!

    Security
    openssl: 3.5.8 -> 3.5.9

    New
    libicu/icu4c: 74.2, 78.3 - compiled using gcc/g++ 13 compiler

    Recompile
    php 5.6.40: due to system upgrade
    php 7.4.33: due to system upgrade, needed libicu 74.2 so PHP is not forced to use c++17 standards for compiling (with c++17 flag you can use later libicu versions)
    php 8.5.11, 8.6.0RC2: due to system upgrade, initial gcc/g++ 15 to final gcc/g++13 migration, and changing from system-built libicu-78.2 compiled with gcc/g++ 15 to source-built libicu-78.3 compiled with gcc/g++ 13

    I goofed on the prefix for PHP 8.6.0RC2, so gotta wait longer.

    Sending it now would overwrite PHP 8.5.11...

    Okay, had to install libzip again, and... PHP 8.5 and PHP 8.6 no longer run. Waiting on the builds from the old compile box in order to replace them.

    This machine is now running Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS, but the custom packages for PHP are not replaced.

    This means that restarting the system will break PHP for now.

    Apache should work without recompilation. All libraries for this setup still use gcc-13 and g++-13 (Ubuntu 26.04 primarily uses 15).

    Upgraded the compile box to Xubuntu 26.04, and... could no longer compile PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.4 without community patches. (I actually almost killed the install by installing a coreutils shim meant for 26.04 on 24.04... never do this, lol.)

    Very little actually runs on PHP 5.6, but this microblog runs on PHP 7.4... and it breaks on PHP 8.x.

    My laptop runs Kubuntu 26.04, but it's pretty hacky. I patched PHP 5.6.40 and PHP 7.4.33 and they do compile on my laptop, and will try again on the compile box later.

    This server is still running Ubuntu Server 24.04 until it is ensured that earlier PHP can run. As a note, PHP 8.5 and PHP 8.6 can actually compile without issue.

    The limitipconn configuration had to be rewritten.

    This is what I get for not reading the readme much when I first set it up...

    Finally, I have obtained mod_limitipconn version 0.25!

    There was an IPv6 fix in that version, so Apache httpd will get the new version of this module.

    This server's HTML files now render as UTF-8 by default through the server's character set setting if they are not specified in the HTML file itself.

    Had to limit gitphp and gitlist to 2 connections per IP address.

    This solved the server resource eating issues for now. Will keep watching it periodically.
