In the meantime, working on cache invalidation for #Samizdat. One of the Two Hard Problems in IT (cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors)!

Anyway, trying to keep some context in cache using "x-samizdat-*" headers. But the Cache API doesn't seem to cache all headers, just some:
https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/issues/25#note_292141

Of course, there is no mention of it anywhere in the docs (or I have not found it after hours of looking).

*sigh*

Dear friends,

Quick reminder: if you're running an accessibility meet-up or local community, we’d love to send some of new books over to you — anywhere in the world.

Also, if you could write a review of the book, we’d love to send a book over, too.

DMs are open. 🥳

Oh btw, about a month ago we handled ~200k visits in a day, ~12 pageviews per second, ~1Gbps bandwidth, on a WordPress site on our infrastructure... without breaking a sweat.

How? Years of polishing our front-end caching reverse-proxy config. Is it #FLOSS? Of course it is: https://git.occrp.org/libre/fasada

Also, thanks and kudos to #Greenhost for hosting our edge nodes.

Point is: no, you don't need #CloudFlare.

Is there any windup vinyl players made now?

As in same as in the past, but with improved acoustic or something

Ok, back to playing with #Samizdat after some traveling.

- caching plugin not double-counted anymore;
- finally there is a proper project website at https://samizdat.is/

Need to fix Gun+IPFS for the new domain, today is a good time.

Main project home still https://git.occrp.org/libre/samizdat/ for the time being, but hoping to move it to a public GitLab instance soon.

I wonder what the fediverse has to say on #MXLinux. It looks like a very solid distro with great valid hype around it. What's your opinion?

I am trying to move #Samizdat off of my work infrastructure and onto a public #GitLab instance, so that it's easier to cooperate.

I went with 0xacab.org, but there seems to be a problem with CI/CD pipelines: https://0xacab.org/riseup/0xacab/issues/84

In case they consciously disable CI/CD on 0xacab, what other open GitLab instances should I consider?
