• @Velocio thanks for all the hard and fast work, very impressive.

    Only slight quibble (being a medic) - no-one died, even if the website was down for a little while. So all good.

    As an aside, I provide some DNS hosting (although not registration) in collaboration with some friends/colleagues as a not-for profit service - happy to offer the service to lfgss for free if that helps. I/we have secondary servers. Maybe we can discuss via pm at our leisure (I'm pretty busy over the coming few days/weeks as job hunting, and I get the impression you are on holiday although maybe that was just last week.

  • It's been four weeks, and I'm finally back in one city for more than a few days at a time (London > Malaga > Madrid > Valencia > Barcelona > London > Palo Alto > New York > London).

    Catching up...

    I think the DNS side is fine on Linode, there's nothing scary about it being there... but @d0cA I'm interested in why this might not be a good idea, and whether you have a website, I'll DM you.

    The email stuff is still in the air, DMARC not tightened up. I've been receiving the aggregate reports, and I'm busy a few evenings this week but will try and whip together a report analyzer so that I can start tweaking things.

    I've seen that the old microco.sm TLS cert is due to expire... but I'm going to let that expire as the domain is now on Cloudflare with a 100% redirect to microcosm.app in place.

    Otherwise, everything else here seems under control so I'll de-pin and move it to the Announcements forum.

    Everything

  • Actually... DNS.

    This was a left over thing. I need to get it back to Cloudflare.

    Most of the static files go from the SaaS domain, i.e. even the logo on this site is https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/0266d45a0ac7c081b59c9a0213a13a9f0cada494.svg and that's on microcosm.app .

    The DNS needs to be on Cloudflare so that I can use the free tier account to cache the static assets.

    Last month we used 80% of the transfer bandwidth that Linode allows, whereas typically we only use about 15% when this one domain (the SaaS one) is behind Cloudflare.

    The thing holding this up is forum.espruino.com which isn't on Cloudflare DNS, and Cloudflare do not allow a cross-account CNAME from forum.espruino.com to espruino.microcosm.app . If I put the domain on Cloudflare, it breaks their site, and so they need to remove the custom domain name and go to espruino.microcosm.app (or move their DNS to Cloudflare) to help me reduce the risk of a pretty bad bandwidth bill.

    Now I remember this, this is also why I cannot take you up on the offer @d0cA ... I'd forgotten the risk of a scary bandwidth bill.

  • Merci pour ton temps et ton partage

  • I can probably help with DNS hosting depending on technical requirements. Happy to have a chat about it if you need
