I fixed a client's websites under my care as they ran out of server space for automatic updates and discovered there were no automatic backups, so I uploaded them to my Google Drive for future safety.

migrated a ton of sites

Accidentally take down the site for a few hours because 1) my new firewall configuration blocked the web server from accessing the database, and 2) I missed the uptime monitoring notifications because I've been too busy working #betalist

upgraded astro to 5.0 and it broke my website. Luckily it's just one website. took me at least an hour to fix (with coffee break). what is your method to make sure these updates are safe? #leifinlavida

broke running website and had to fix a dozen cascading issues for an hour to get it back up. That hasn't happened in a while.

Talked a.friwnd and colleague for a website and played around with a new WordPress 🙈 stack = about 60 % done #jodaworks

Decided to move away from WPengine, predators who deliberately miscalculate visits by a factor of 2.5x and insist on upgrading from their $100/mo plan to the $300/mo plan. Will self-host our Wordpress instance for #retently.

Bring WP PHP server back up because I suspect someone took it down overnight to prove a point #life

recover from an evening of server hell & murphys law at #crisp due to a digitalocean backup slowing a mongodb cluster server so much that it led to full cluster collapse and 30m #crisp downtime

refactor and update ~15 years of #djangocon websites and archives

clean up 10 years of detritus on shared host

spend 10 hours redoing the database and everything related to images, going so far as to create a personal storage droplet and resizing for correct format. Learned that the ssl certificate was acting out because of click to tweet image not having httpS in the link 🙂 nice #klimy

failed to backup data from my personal website, now have to restore stuff with screenshots from wip🤦🏾

🚀 refactored my server setup, shut off a DO droplet, redeployed two dozen websites, and configs are getting smaller and much easier to support

Stared rebuilding my personal site yesterday evening #pl

⬆️ doubled the resources of my DO web/docker server and turned off another box. #mylife

#contracting Help stop client site melting down server every 5 minutes because Wordpress ran into weird infection that made PHP-FPM blast on maximum all the time

More website migrations #hostingwalk

I fixed Damian's search engine because I casually mentioned that I make websites, I fixed a section of the code, spent 1.5 hours, and gained another client.
