For me the evidence was the server logs, filtering by user agent. my main page is basically a canvas game, so the html has almost nothing for a crawler, and I was surprised to see googlebot not only rendering it but opening the SSE stream like a real player (I noticed because bots were showing up as online players lol). what actually got indexed were the plain server rendered pages I made for each thing worth sharing, with title, og image and json-ld, listed in the sitemap. so I didn’t change the app rendering, I just gave crawlers simpler pages to read.

8gb with 70+ mods is way less than I expected, nice. capping it in docker is smart too if it leaks at least it can’t take the rest of the box down with it

What I do for that is turn it around, instead of checking for a failure I alert on the absence of a success. backrest has hooks, so on snapshot success it pings a push monitor in uptime kuma (healthchecks.io works the same), and if no ping arrives in ~26h it alerts. That way it catches the backup that never ran, which is the one that scares me the most I guess

money wise no, not even close. it’s a bitaxe gamma doing around 1 TH/s solo, so it’s basically a lottery ticket, the odds of hitting a block are tiny. it costs me like 3 euros a month in power so I treat it as a toy, I like checking the best difficulty it found and it’s a nice way to learn how mining works

Day 818 is wild, congrats on keeping it going. and the part about making cool stuff for your friends and not caring if it’s profitable is so true, I host a few little things nobody pays for and it’s the best part of the hobby I guess. Does the cobblemon server need a lot of ram or does it run fine on modest hardware?

Most of my stuff lives on a cheap hetzner vps so that power is someone else’s problem lol. at home it’s a raspberry pi that’s always on (a few watts) and a bitaxe miner doing about 19W, that’s around 14 kWh a month, like 3 euros here. the gaming pc is the only hungry thing and it stays off, the pi wakes it with wake-on-lan when I actually need it. took me a while to get the bios settings right (erp off, power on by pci-e) but it was worth it.

I’d add backup age and size, not just status, like alert if the newest dump is older than ~26h or smaller than 1MB, a job can say success and still leave you a useless file. and disk fill with a threshold, not only the graph. learned that one the hard way, a table on my vps was getting a row every minute with no cleanup and one day the disk hit 100% and postgres just died for like 40 min, obviously nobody was looking at the dashboard right then lol. now 80% warns and 90% sends me an email, and uptime kuma checks the cert expiry from outside. I guess the dashboard is nice to look at but the stuff that matters should ping you
