You know what?
I'm done with Devuan!
I installed the i2pd 2.46 .deb file, and it's still i2pd 2.45 anyway, even after restart.
So I have already moved my blog to OpenBSD, and will try to move all the condoms to OpenBSD as well, and if it doesn't work then FreeBSD.
So sad how retarded the Debian-based distro's have become...
Speaking of i2pd, OpenBSD got the latest update already, FreeBSD has the latest version as a ports, but Artix is still stuck on 2.45.1.

Is there a single distribution left to use? BSD may actually be better for servers. Seems like every time I check the version of something on FreeBSD, it's pretty recent. Not OpenBSD, but I guess the stuff that really needs to be up-to-date is. Though FreeBSD has the better repos. I think it may have the best ones other than Nix. They even have some older programs that Linux distributions have generally dropped, which is cool.

AFAIK for they placed the binary into usr/sbin.

Yea, I'm already moving all my darknet sites over to my OpenBSD box, though a little bit to a newly installed FreeBSD box (OpenBSD couldn't recognize ethernet for some reason, which is the last thing you want to happen to a server) since both of them only have 4 GiB of RAM, the Devuan box has 8 GiB, and going to re-purpose it for something else later.
But I'm running into an issue now, so maybe you know what's going on?
I configured /etc/httpd.conf and /etc/relayd.conf, both services are started and didn't report any errors, and even the "relayctl show summary" and "relayctl show hosts" commands are showing it's working, but trying to accessing it doesn't work, it's either an endless loading page of death, or a 403 error.
Accessing it using local IP address + port number works perfectly fine, so the RC script and the compiled binaries are clearly working fine.
I can provide config files if that helps, but I'd like to know whether you have any experience with these tools or not.

Sorry, haven't checked GNU Social for two days, because I rebooted my system after over a month and a half (because opening LibreWolf used like, 14 GB of memory, including all of my swap, and somehow it fucked things up to the point that it broke my networking and I couldn't connect to the internet) and didn't reopen it until now. I really don't know about that, networking is something that I know very little about in general, I just set up internet and SSH and some other things and that's basically all I know, just the things that I wanted to do myself and could.
Also, I have never done web server stuff because I'm paranoid, because I know I'm an idiot and don't know shit about security, and I fully expect to make a catastrophic mistake. Really, I'd only do it on a system that isn't connected to the internet at all. Or a remote server that isn't in my home network, but I don't have that. Actually, I should do it on a computer I don't care about, and test it that way and make sure it's fine. I'll put that in my notes so I don't forget. There's a Common Lisp web server I've been meaning to try for a while, and I guess that's the best way for me to do it. I have been needing one for a while, to move some browser functionality to, because browsers are horrible.
I have a boomer level knowledge of network security. Any network that is connected to the internet is not safe, that's the only thing that I can trust because I know I don't know enough. Hell, I don't even enable SSH on my main systems. Also, I only have the router that I use to connect to the internet, that's all the networking hardware I have, and the rest of my setup is a giant mess, so, that's a limitation too.

14GB? How many tabs and webapp have you opened at the same time lol?
-
Thousands of tabs. All mixed together, about various subjects, with no way to sort them because all the add-ons for that look really unreliable (from the reviews), and could also easily be spyware.
Anyway, those tabs are all suspended at startup (and I have an add-on to suspend them automatically while I use the browser), so it's no excuse. Last time I checked, it was using about 700 MB of RAM while running (the biggest process one window), but at startup, it sometimes uses so much that my system can't handle it.
My plan is to move the entire session to external software (probably going to use a web server for that), but it will probably have no browser integration at all, unless I gather the energy to figure out how to write a browser extension, which looks like a huge pain and not worth it.
Temporarily, I've been thinking about moving everything to just org files (or one big org file, probably that), because Emacs' org-mode supports links. I already wrote functions that can do the things I need, like taking a list of URLs from Firefox (tabs are separated by pipes) and turn them all into lists, and also one that can take URLs and give me the page's title.
So, I can just use that to generate an org document with [[url][title]] and it will work. That's not ideal, though, the best thing would be to make a local web page that I can use to add and remove stuff, though I will have to copy and paste unless I make the extension.
All of this would be trivial if these browsers were actually extensible, but they're not, they're just a really bad imitation of that.
