@jimcarroll don’t forget to backup both old and new encryption keys! They are used for field level encryption, so if you lose them some data will be lost as well. And if you are planing major version upgrade for Postgres I highly recommend to make a dump before you upgrade.

Mine went sideways,
I suppose because I messed up by running upgrade inside alpine based container, while pg itself is running on Ubuntu based container. musl vs libc broke locale metadata and I had to resort to restoring from the dump

@ryanc maybe some kind of alarm or emergency lighting with standby?

@eb @briankrebs I’ve seen another subtle hack recently: I suppose CMS haven’t been patched, so all the content on a website had few words in article to be made in links that also point to some shady pharma site. I wonder if it’s possible to check backlinks from Georgia’s site. But referrer check is 👌. So simple, much efficient!

@ryanc me too (running my own email server) random question: are you mail go to spam in gmail? My sometimes do and I have no idea what else I can do to ensure deliverability. Reverse DNS is pointing to mx domain (and apparently if must be prefixed with mail/mx) SPF/DMARC set, postmaster registered in Google console, DNS in DNSWL, candle lit in pentagram. Server IP is not blacklisted, but AS and consequently my subnet got bad rep.

@ryanc I’m thinking about finding someone who can sponsor AS file request for IPv4 PI in APNIC. I heard APNIC still can allocate PI for research use, but I’m in RIPE region, they don’t have this.

@jerry @feld yes! It even uses pretty much the same scrape config. In most cases it just a drop-in replacement for prometheus
