@bender@twtxt.net Sounds about right.
I had a brainfart yesterday, though. For whatever reason I thought of subdomains, which are modeled with server entries in nginx. So, each could define its own access_log location. However, there are no subdomains in place! Searching around, I didn’t find any solution to give each user their own access log file.
One way would be a cronjob, aeh, systemd timer as I learned the other day, that greps the main access log and writes all user access log files with only the relevant stuff.

Thank you for https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-11-09/0/POSTING-en.html, @movq! I never configured systemd timers, but I would have gotten it wrong, too. Good to know when I eventually stumble across that in the future. I'm still using cron. Yeah, its field order sucks and I always have to look it up (because I don't deal with that all that often). Indeed, systemd's order sounds more reasonable.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get this right. 😅 You never had to configure a systemd timer? Lucky. 😅

Google’s “AI” is convinced Solaris uses systemd
Who doesn’t love a bug bounty program? Fix some bugs, get some money – you scratch my back, I pay you for it. The CycloneDX Rust (Cargo) Plugin decided to run one, funded by the Bug Resilience Program run by the Sovereign Tech Fund. That is, until “AI” killed it. We received almost entirely AI slop reports that are irrelevant to our tool. It’s a library and most reporters didn’t even bother to read the rules or even look at what the intend … ⌘ Read more

Also pulse randomly decided that I didn’t get to have a driver for my (extremely common) sound card anymore. Jesus, systemd – you’re pushing linux on the desktop back to 1998 levels of bullshit.
Udevd was eating up literally all my ram and literally all my CPU, while doing nothing. I fixed it by turning off udevd. (Take that, systemd.)
Linux has become a weird version of Rock-paper-scissors: udev breaks systemd, systemd breaks pulseaudio, pulseaudio breaks dbus, dbus breaks udev
