I also failed to achieve my goals, but if I don't move forward, the burden will get bigger everyday.

I am still positive with my life and will always be (hopefully). I believe most of those people on the top have experienced worse life situations than me.

I create new goals and continue my battle.

If stop here, I will never achieve goals forever. That being said, it is a failure guarantee.

If I do my best, there is a chance for a better life, despite it is not guaranteed.

2026-03-11T12:07:06Z

Today I realized that my Linux Contabo VPS has a built-in script in `/etc/cron.hourly` that drops the cache every hour. I found it when I checked dmesg; there are so many "drop_caches: 1" lines.

I guess the memory is not dedicated, but shared via KVM memory ballooning.

It seems Contabo tries so hard to reclaim physical memory from its customers by dropping page caches every hour. I feel like Contabo is somewhat notorious for aggressive overprovisioning.

I will delete the `free` script.

2026-03-03T02:13:06Z

My new daily backup script, pg_dump with zstd compression level 19.
```
docker exec \
ak-postgres-1 \
pg_dump -U umeyashiki umeyashiki_akkoma | \
nice -n 19 \
ionice -c 3 \
chrt --idle 0 \
zstd -T0 -19 --rsyncable -q > "$BACKUP_DIR/db_latest.sql.zst";
```
Today I learned something new about the scheduling priority. Since zstd compression is very CPU-intensive, set it to low priority so it doesn't slow the entire system down during compression.

Commands that precede zstd here are:
- `nice -n 19 [cmd]`
- `ionice -c 3 [cmd]`
- `chrt --idle 0 [cmd]`

By chaining nice, ionice, and chrt together before the zstd command, the script forces the compression process to run with the absolute lowest possible priority for both the CPU and the disk.

- nice 19 is the lowest priority CPU priority.
- ionice with class 3 means idle. A program running with idle I/O priority will only get disk time when no other program has asked for disk I/O for a defined grace period.
- `chrt --idle 0`: Set scheduling policy to `SCHED_IDLE` (scheduling very low priority jobs).

References:
- `man 1 chrt`
- `man 1 nice`
- `man 1 ionice`

Wooaah... smart optimization. I wouldn't have thought about something like that.

It took me some time to understand the pull request as there is no provided description in the PR. I can understand it now. That makes sense for local media uploads because the file name must be unique for that file, and it never changes forever.

FWIW, I've applied the immutable cache-control hdr for static-s.umeyashiki.org. I didn't change the Akkoma sources because it's purely served by nginx (except for the media proxy, I left it as is for the time being).

After adding the following directive in the nginx conf:

`add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=1209600, immutable" always;`

And then after purging the Cloudflare cache, I verified it with curl that the header now contains "immutable". I hope it speeds up the load on my browser. Though I don't actually understand how it works behind the scenes.

I'm checking out Jottacloud (npub1f8e…63tv) on RHEL-10 ....

This isn't fine.

I could understand the Digital Ocean tutorial blog format I sent. The steps are very clear. But it might've been outdated, which resulted in a different result on my VPS.

I just realized that the blog I referenced was written in 2013. Maybe it's no longer applicable in 2026. 😭

I checked your repository, but I don't understand the explanation in the `README.md` step 3. I'm not so good at inferring the last part. I honestly don't know what to do with those config files 😅

I followed this blog https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-postfix-e-mail-server-with-dovecot

It was a half-complete setup as I was exhausted from configuring the Postfix part. I didn't remember exactly where I stopped, but the result on my VPS was not the same as mentioned in that blog.

It's still a mess on my VPS rn, so I decided to stop the Postfix service instead of leaving it running. Wasting too much time :blobmeltsob:

Just lost several hours of my life to silly CORS issues while setting up https://static-s.umeyashiki.org as my Akkoma media base URL :blobthump:

Nginx "gotcha": header inheritance.

If you put an `add_header` directive inside a location block, it completely suppresses all `add_header` directives defined in the parent server block.

```
server {
add_header "X-Hdr-A" "Value";
add_header "X-Hdr-B" "Value";

location / {
add_header "X-Hdr-C" "Value"; # <-- This wipes out A and B!
access_log /var/log/a.log;
}

location /bb {
access_log /var/log/b.log; # <-- A and B will show up here just fine.
}
}
```
If your global headers are mysteriously disappearing on certain paths, maybe check your location blocks.

But I haven't enabled the email functionality yet. Attempted to configure a mail server, but it was hard, and I ended up throwing it away.
