I found on the interwebz

Not sure it’s a proper haiku

It’s not DNS
There’s no way it’s DNS
It was DNS

It’s not the failed login tries that scare me. It’s where they’re from

as you can see, it’s mostly my own country people. but the super-nerdy side of security conscious me thinks those are probably zombie computers that are in control of bad actors. AnyWho, I am off to look into additional server hardening. along with getting Tk up, now that would be a great accomplishment. Im thinking it’s a Vhosts issue.

And the IPs are cloudflare (mainly). so please don’t attack them.

Is back up, obviously. And it’s already being attacked:

My backup plan failed horribly. I’ll be working on another solution after it’s FULLY backup up.

Id already have the new server up and running. now not so much 🙁

I plan on decommissioning my old physical server.

Hopefully there won’t be any downtime that should happen…but you never know. And I realize my personal, non-revenue generating personal blog that I personally host is mostly irrelevant to to the internet, but it drives me, and at this point whatever gets my geek hyped is worth it,

Wish me luck.

You may have noticed a bit of downtime recently.

Bummer, I know you all missed me.

But the power supply in my server died.

I just swapped it with my backup server’s PS. And it fricking worked! like a charm.

Gleefully resuming the cleaning now.
