items: objectType=note
items: amisapphire: Hah, it worked. 🙂
items: amisapphire: Zend OPcache's file cache is now enabled for PHP versions 7.4, 8.5, and 8.6. More of a test than anything. ...I should change some directory names in two instances...
items: amisapphire: Updates! Development php: 8.6.0alpha3 -> 8.6.0beta1
items: amisapphire: The drive's 2 pending sectors were not remapped, but disappeared instead - weak sectors or general misbehaving drive. They were near the end of the drive.
items: amisapphire: The server is back! The old 2TB drive is still in the video converter machine...
items: amisapphire: Zeroing the drive removed from this web server's RAID array using my video converter PC. I do want to see if those 2 sectors marked pending either disappear or be remapped.
items: amisapphire: Rather, *one* of its drives replaced...
items: amisapphire: New set uses Noto Color Emoji 17.0 except the back icon so far, which is the HTC Sense 7 emoji font.
items: amisapphire: Updates! Security php: 8.5.8 -> 8.5.9
items: amisapphire: lmao, I remember now! I moved all the ISOs to a larger 256GB USB stick! That was the reason the old 128GB SD card was now an empty exFAT partition!
items: amisapphire: Somehow, I don't even remember zeroing my Ventoy SD card. Welp, time to rebuild it, as none of the original ISOs are missing anyway...
items: amisapphire: Today I learned... I should not use hyphens or periods in SQL database names! Seems the same goes for tables... 🤦♀️
items: amisapphire: Updates! Security php: 8.5.7 -> 8.5.8
items: amisapphire: Didn't mention earlier, but I had to chroot the system again and redo the grub-install as a result. From there, I fixed the EFI mount in /etc/fstab.
items: amisapphire: Now switched off Sis's gaming PC. That makes it five PCs I turned off here.
items: amisapphire: Apparently eFiction 4 is finally coming soon...? https://efiction.org/community/efiction-software-news/efiction-4/
items: amisapphire: Sat on this for ~3 years: finally updated this GNU social instance!
items: amisapphire: Updates! Security openssl: 1.1.1zg -> 1.1.1zh Recompile httpd 2.4.68 - due to openssl update php 7.4.33 - due to openssl update
items: amisapphire: Updates! Security httpd: 2.4.67 -> 2.4.68 On another note, the server seems to be TOO responsive now...
items: amisapphire: Updates! mariadb: 11.4.10 -> 11.4.12

title: amisapphire: The MariaDB databases have been relocated to an old low-use, low-hour 60GB SATA 3.0 SSD, specifically the Kingston SKC300S - SKC300S37A60G. As a result, the MariaDB databases now respond faster than when they were on the RAID 5 setup. Ironically, they were historically located on the system drive long before the RAID setups were a thing... that would be from 2007 to mid-2011. Of course, the current system drive is also a SATA 3.0 (3.2) SSD...

title: amisapphire: I now have three 500GB SATA HDDs with no data on them at all. There will be a fourth one at some point, but this will require setting up an entirely new build for cross-checking purposes because the backup data from that 4th SATA HDD are spread on about three IDE HDDs...

title: amisapphire: The old Western Digital RE4 2TB drive is now in the home Jellyfin build! This is alongside the busted HGST Travelstar 1TB drive (which is somehow fully functional despite the near 11k reallocated sectors). I have also obtained yet another 500GB hard drive. However, I ran out of room in the Jellyfin setup for HDDs, so that won't be installed there. The Live TV server does need more storage for recordings, but both that and the Jellyfin servers need more storage organization.

title: amisapphire: The RAID array is having its drive replaced. However, the replacement drive is getting its checksum integrity set up, which will take a few hours. So for now, the array (which holds the entire website data, barring config files) is mounted in a degraded state. I do have the old 2TB drive; will zero that one at some point. If the pending sectors do not remap, this will be used for another purpose rather than going back in the array. Amusingly, worse-faring drives are added to the Jellyfin and Live TV servers due to being very cheap.

title: amisapphire: Spent some time replacing the 2004/10/10 DirectoryIndex icons with a new set. [Spoiler: they are from the Google Noto Sans Unicode 17.0 set.] They only cover the most used files so far, and this also required a cleanup and restructuring of set icons. Lesser used files still use the v2 icon set from 2004/10/10 (called http-icons.tgz), and the only one used from the original icon set is the blank icon. Oh, and this server finally uses transparent .png instead of .gif for the icons.

title: amisapphire: Accidentally re-discovered a forgotten piece of PHP code floating on my server: TinyArchive! Script posted to the Internet in 2005, installed here in 2010. Works properly with PHP 4.4 and code uses PHP short tags (!). PHP 5.6 bombs on this, so it is finally removed from the server. I surprisingly still have the .zip archive on my NAS... For the chuckles, I'll probably spin up an old Windows server for this someday, as I'm not going to bother using Linux for that. (That, and it's easier, as the PHP, Apache, and MySQL packages are already compiled.)

title: amisapphire: One of the drives in the array now has 2 current pending sectors. It was 1 for probably ~2 weeks, IIRC. I am resyncing the array, but I may have to replace the drive at some point if they are remapped rather than simply weak sectors. Amusingly, another drive in the array had gained one remapped sector over a decade ago and stayed like that since... Those old Western Digital drives are odd...

encoded: Tested the future eFiction 3.5.9 install script, but with PHP 7 rather than PHP 8. Since they are one and the same with 3.5.8.f1, it will work with PHP 8 as well. However, I should add a note for efiction3-mod that PHP 8 is technically required despite this oversight.

title: amisapphire: I have a hard-forked repository of someone's future eFiction 3.5.9 and merged those changes to my Testing Grounds, which previously ran 3.5.8.f1. This turned out fine (barring the buggy touchpad issues), so I do have a layout of the 3.5.9 additions/changes and my MD5 -> bcrypt password + MyISAM -> InnoDB engine + latin1 -> utf8mb4 collation modifications. (Though, looking back, it seems I may have to force all tables to utf8mb4 in the install script anyway...) However, my mods are for the 3.5.8.f1 version, so this will have to be documented for the future 3.5.9 changes.

title: amisapphire: Okay, I can't believe I actually trashed my 2GB microSD card which contained what little of my current Sonic fanfiction work I already had. But... this is the sysadmin you're talking about, so I spent the last hour/hour and a half going through a just created image of the microSD card's exFAT filesystem to grab the contents of the current work. Some context: on a non-journaled filesystem (which exFAT is), the following is more likely to be trashed: partition info, directory/filename info, its timestamps, and its attributes. (...the actual FAT, or File Allocation Table.) That is because all of that is stored near the beginning of the storage medium. The actual file contents could be further down and are less likely to be trashed... unless you're quite unlucky. In short, I have all my data back. 😁👍

title: amisapphire: Finally upgraded the NAS's OS from OpenMediaVault: 7 -> 8; I held off on it for too long. The upgrade was a success, however, the EFI actually broke... which actually had nothing to do with OMV anyway. The NAS was originally a build that ran on an ASUS P5N-E SLI board with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 -> Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 with 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM and originally ran NAS4Free/XigmaNAS -> OMV6... from 2018. In other words, MBR/BIOS only, no GPT/EFI. This was getting long in the tooth by ~2024 (or 2025...), so the entire system was migrated to an ASRock J4125B-ITX board... which is EFI only. This necessitated a conversion from MBR/BIOS to GPT/EFI, as BIOS emulators never really worked right with this board. The GPT part was easy... EFI, not so much. Needed to be chrooted in order to install some necessary packages and a grub-install command to be run. I actually mounted the EFI partition wrong in /etc/fstab in the initial conversion, so it came back to bite me when I performed the OMV upgrade. The mount is proper now; it was missing the umask (umask=0077) entry.

title: amisapphire: The NAS finally has a proper case and is no longer using the old original Web Server case from 2011! However, this may make setting up the NAS with entirely new SAS drives a bit more difficult. I did keep the old case for other purposes, and the old data integrity notice is still on the case. -- During the migration to the new case, I managed to drop the last two RAID5 drives and the system drive from short distances. Almost surprisingly, they are still running perfectly so far. Not too worried about the system drive as there are backups of that, but not so much the data on the RAID5 setup...

title: amisapphire: Speaking of... There will be some modifications to the eFiction code on this server. So far: * Database tables will be using InnoDB instead of MyISAM. (Though, if needed, Aria could be used on some tables, but then you'll be stuck with MariaDB - no more MySQL. 😈) * Managed to implement passwords to be hashed with bcrypt at a cost of 12 and a check for passwords that use the older MD5 hashing algorithm. (Though, you are not warned that your password is using the MD5 hash. However, changing/updating the password changes its hash to bcrypt.) * Some visual modifications... I will also have to look through the 2000s/2010s-era 'patches' I have created but never actually shared; some I know are truly outdated.

This also means my (overly ambitious) personal Sonic fanfiction project can run the latest PHP 8.5 builds. Moved old Fanfiction Haven back to PHP 5.6, though it was likely fine with 7.4. Moved old DRX Prototype Torrents back to PHP 5.6, which means the (truly) hacky MySQLi wrapper is used no more as a result. (It also wasn't a guarantee that the count issue would have been resolved by using the wrapper, either.) Everything else runs PHP 7.4... even this GNU social install.

title: amisapphire: Forgot the MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4. (DDR5 and any non-WIFI versions as well.) However, it uses a third-party kernel sensors module, so I may not submit that one... and the original in-kernel module is... not all that great. Also, I should set up the ASRock J4125B-ITX for its sensors.

title: amisapphire: Slowly collecting my custom sensors3.conf files for the following motherboards: Intel SAI2 Tyan Tomcat S2925/S2925-E ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 HP Pro 3500 Supermicro X9SCM-F The ones that are pretty much finished are the Tyan Tomcat S2925/S2925-E and the Supermicro X9SCM-F. The Intel SAI2 one is very messy and should be completely redone, the HP Pro 3500 one is preliminary and should not be used, and the ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 one should be cleaned up a bit, but is usable otherwise.

title: amisapphire: Finally found out why the Apache httpd service would fail at boot: this server is dual-stack, and the web server's service would try to start before the IPv6 part of the network connection would be established. -- httpd.service: * Added network-online.target to After=, didn't work; * Added ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5 worked, but that just makes httpd delay start for 5 seconds... * ...so Restart=on-failure, RestartSec=1s, and StartLimitInterval=1min were to be added instead as a workaround.
