    I have been looking at some IT Notes statistics for the whole of 2025. The data is always partial but, all in all, I think I got a clear picture:* Horror stories resonate. The most read post is The Server That Wasn't Meant to Exist - https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/05/13/the_server_that_wasnt_meant_to_exist/* Right behind it, backup strategies. Because backups are underestimated by many, but many others do their homework and actively look for information: Make Your Own Backup System – Part 1: Strategy Before Scripts - https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/07/18/make-your-own-backup-system-part-1-strategy-before-scripts/* Just after that, another horror story: The Email They Shouldn't Have Read - https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/10/08/the-email-they-shouldnt-have-read/Then come the others, with varying levels of interest (the FediMeteo announcement, and so on). To sum up: I probably need to write more horror stories. Luckily, or unluckily, I have many, many more...#ITNotes #Blogging #Stats

    Under the hood update!I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.#FediMeteo #SysAdmin #Python #FreeBSD #Coding #SelfHosted #OwnYourData #StayTuned

    @stefano Interesting writing as usual, and interesting result!Maybe supporting aesni or not, or how offloading to NIC matters here on TLS tests?
