Brad Taunt ☛ Creating a Basic Status Page on NearlyFreeSpeech
Since I talked about hosting multiple websites through NearlyFreeSpeech in the past, I thought it would be nice to walkthrough setting up a barebones “status” page that runs automatically on your existing NFS server. This post isn’t going to be mind blowing, but it will give you a solid overview of some weekly stats, such as:
• basic system info (FreeBSD stats, etc)
• weekly visitor stats
• weekly traffic by browser typeYou can obviously build off of this “skeleton”, but I find this works well enough for my own needs.

University of Toronto ☛ Our need for re-provisioning support in mesh networks (and elsewhere)
In a comment on my entry on how WireGuard mesh networks need a provisioning system, vcarceler pointed me to Innernet (also), an interesting but opinionated provisioning system for WireGuard. However, two bits of it combined made me twitch a bit; Innernet only allows you to provision a given node once, and once a node is assigned an internal IP, that IP is never reused. This lack of support for re-provisioning machines would be a problem for us and we'd likely have to do something about it, one way or another. Nor is this an issue unique to Innernet, as a number of mesh network systems have it.
