Asides

This Php500 repair deposit that #Globe #GFiber asks before they send an underpaid technician to your place is so stupid. It would make sense if they pay me another P500 on top of the refund instead if they find out the issue is from their side.

Paid Php 199 good for 1 week of 50Mbps #Globe #GFiber Prepaid internet. I need to use the internet only for this 2-day weekend and came home to this blinking red LOS in the router. P199 down the drain including that P999 I paid a few months ago for the installation.

@jenkins well, I don’t think I’ll get past the 5000 default character limit, but it sure helps to know that can still be tweaked in the settings.

A lot of banks in the Philippines still rely on SMS for #2FA, despite how insecure it is—easily spoofed, intercepted, and unreliable. Some use in-app confirmations via their mobile app, but if you lose access to your phone, you’re probably locked out. Why not support standard authentication apps like #2FAS, #Aegis, #Bitwarden, #Vaultwarden, or #KeePassXC, which have TOTP support and easy backups? That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about losing access. #MFA #MultiFactorAuthentication #Security

One good advantage of #GoToSocial is it accepts up to 5,000 characters toots/statuses/messages, compared to just 500 in #Mastodon (at least in my #FossTodon instance). I can post blog-like contents in here.

Received this email from #GreenCloudVPS:

We would like to inform you about an upcoming data center migration for our SG DC1. As of April 2025, our current SG DC1 upstream provider, Datacamp/CDN77, will cease operations at Digital Realty (formerly known as Cyxtera), the facility where our rack is currently located. As a result, we will be relocating our rack to a new upstream provider, xTom, at Global Switch Tai Seng.

The migration is scheduled to take place in mid-March 2025. During this process, we anticipate a service outage lasting approximately 12–24 hours. No data or IP addresses will be affected. We will provide the exact date and time in a follow-up email once confirmed.

I just hope this happens at night. This server is so important to me it runs several important scripts. And hopefully, the outage won’t take that long.
