I'm back to recreating old pages which has references to @#$%^ Photobucket. This service is not free anymore, so images disappeared. I aeady reuploaded all pictures in the blog, but lots of static pages are virtually dead.

Thanks to those who sent me reminders by mail! This work is extremely boring and tedious, so I postpone it and postpone 😁

I think I removed $%bucket from everywhere. However, I could miss some thumbnails or screwed up a link. If you notice any broken links, please report them here: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/showthread.php?tid=24

To avoid queries to Yahoo APIS I removed oEmbed jQuery embedding option. Please let me know if some needed embeddings (e.g. videos, photos) are not working anymore. I could not spot any so far.

Finally rewrote the pagination in the RSS "Streams" posts - no more hundreds of links. However, the pagination style is still broken in the mobile version. Apparently there is a conflict between the mobile CSS and the RSS one 😟

I was pretty sure, that HTTP/2 is enabled, but apparently after one of the upgrades it was removed from the configuration. Just disabled mod_php and mpm_prefork, enabled mpm_event, and HTTP/2 is back and flying! As always, please let me know if anything is broken.

The OS has been upgraded to the latest (released today) 😉 That's the 4th upgraded Linux box for today. Whistle if you notice anything strange...

I noticed that there were 90 simultaneous not registered users in the forum reading various threads. "Strange", I thought and checked the logs. It turned out that Ukrainian ahrefs.com (the company that scans the Internet for backlinks and sells this info) was scanning the site from dozens of different IP's. Immediately blocked on the firewall. All their networks.

The peace returned ... 😁
