Forgejo Became My Server Canary Image 1. Discovering too much security I had another server outage, but this one was different. I did not discover it because someone emailed me, because a visitor reported a broken website, or because I happened to check one of my pages. I discovered it because I tried to push code to Forgejo. That was the first sign that something was wrong. Forgejo is one of…

Still Blind After the Log Storm: When “Unsupported” Isn’t the End of the Story In April, I ran into a server problem that turned a monitoring tool into part of the outage. The short version is this: the DigitalOcean monitoring agent began producing repeated filesystem metric errors on a CloudLinux/cPanel server using CageFS.

But, please, continue to use as many different resources as you can to look for something that isn't there... 😆
