[ca-dmv-bot]

Hi all! We recently hit 10k followers on Twitter and are gaining traction on Bluesky. This is a periodic reminder to check us out over there and follow us if you haven't already!

Additionally, I'd really like to get this bot on a VPS soon and have the bot pay for itself since hosting funds ran out awhile back (DigitalOcean is quite expensive.) I hate to keep asking, but if you are able to, please consider giving a little. You can donate through CashApp Or, if you cannot, starring the repository on GitHub (yes, this is open source) would mean a lot to me personally. Promise I'll stop asking soon since I'm hoping the Twitter monetization revenue will kick in at some point.

Finally, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for following - not just in general, but Tumblr specifically. Out of all the platforms I have brought this bot to, it is Tumblr which has given it the warmest reception, and what motivates me to ultimately keep the bot up (and what caused me to bring it back.) I really am grateful for you guys. As a token of appreciation, I've decided to open up the ask page. I'm unfamiliar with how this really works (and Tumblr in general) but I'll try to answer some questions. In particular, I'd like to know about some things you'd want on this bot or things that are lacking - however much I can make this bot better for you. I realize that's a silly ask of such a meager bot, but who knows - perhaps I'm forgetting something important. In general, any feedback or input or even questions you have are greatly appreciated and I'll try my best to answer/implement whatever I get.

Again, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. :D

Hi I also do not have time for web dev* but since reading your post about Patreon-Memberful being terrible and Ghost looking appealing I can't stop thinking about the migration sounding kind of fun. What's your current hosting situation and if you went to ghost would you keep it or switch to their managed hosting Ghost Pro offering or is that all as yet undecided?

*My job is web dev and this ask is at least 90% procrastinating at Job web dev with Daydream web dev, but since it's sticking I figured I might as well try to make the daydream web dev mildly useful

i'd love to do ghost's managed hosting BUT i need custom themes since none of the defaults are geared toward multi serials. and i don't trust them to be cool about smut long-term.

my current cheapo shared hosting for wordpress can't handle ghost so i'd probably do a digitalocean droplet since. that seems like something i can manage lmao. my original plan was to Make A Theme but it turns out i don't want to. so instead i'll probably buy a docs theme (i like the table of contents functionality) and hope for the best.

Patreon Takedown Continued

I received more proof from the person contacting Patreon over the removal of the Succubuns Patreon about the Succubuns team dishonesty over the takedown reason. Here it is! 🐰

Recently Yves claimed in the blogpost here: https://succubuns.com/news/135.supporter-shop Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20240304175448/https://succubuns.com/news/135.supporter-shop

that succubuns had "chosen" to not host on Patreon anymore. This is dishonest- either Patreon rejected their appeal or they were too lazy to bother trying to file one.  Either way, here is the text of the email I sent to inform Patreon of the lies and deceit being practiced by the Succubuns owners. 

accessible plain text: "Hi there: I was updated that the site was removed and the creators are claiming that it is a personal attack on them, and not being honest about the reason for removal.  Here is a link to a record of a comment on their site that they removed that shows that other people find issue with this as well, as they are only allowing comments that deride Patreon's decision. https://www.tumblr.com/ironknightsuccubuns/742164402707562496/i-was-a-patron-for-a-while-and-while-i-didnt-see I can also provide further proof that this creator has also had action taken against them by their server hoster, DigitalOcean, for previously offering illegal employment on their website, and that the creators publically lied about that takedown as well.

Thank you for reviewing this content."

Brazilian hackers target Portuguese financial institutions

The sophisticated hacking effort is the latest in a long line of financially motivated malware campaigns emanating from Brazil.

A Brazilian hacking crew targeted users of more than 30 Portuguese financial institutions earlier this year in a campaign that provides the latest example of potent, financially motivated hackers in Brazil hitting targets outside the country’s borders, according to a report released Thursday by SentinelLabs.

The ongoing campaign — dubbed Operation Magalenha — initially relied on cloud service providers like DigitalOcean and Dropbox, but as these firms have tightened rules on how their services are used, the operation has pivoted to the Russia-based web hosting provider TimeWeb, researchers Aleksandar Milenkoski and Tom Hegel said in a report released Thursday. The operation began at the start of this year, but the bulk of the attacks took place last month.

The Brazilian malware ecosystem has a rich history, first catching the attention of the information security industry nearly a decade ago as increasingly sophisticated hacking groups based in Brazil carried out operations together with malware developers based abroad, including in Eastern Europe and Russia. Brazil continues to be the epicenter of potent financially-focused malware, such as a grouping of four banking trojans dubbed the “Tetrade” by Kaspersky researchers in 2020.

Operation Magalenha illustrates the persistent nature of the Brazilian cybercriminal underground and the evolving threat posed by its threat actors. These groups demonstrate “a consistent capacity to update their malware arsenal and tactics, allowing them to remain effective in their campaigns,” Milenkoski and Hegel write in their report.

Setting up a DigitalOcean droplet for my niece and wow, they've really bumped up what you can get for $5 a month, 1GB of RAM instead of 512MB now. I need to migrate my old VPS to a new service, RAM is getting tight now that I'm running some databases.

Scaleway also has some good offerings, I'll probably end up with them, we ran a mastodon instance with them for a while. 2GB of RAM and dual cores for EUR 5-ish, that's plenty of room. Biggest thing to migrate is probably the cryptographic stuff, ugh. Saturday Project, I guess. It'll also give me a chance to properly set up CGI stuff right the first time, my webapps all run in Bad Ways at the moment.

Even if I do end up building a home server I'll probably proxy it out via a hosted machine rather than trying to expose a local IP. There's benefits.

Deploying Laravel Applications to the Cloud

Deploying a Laravel application to the cloud offers several advantages, including scalability, ease of management, and the ability to leverage various cloud-based tools and services. In this guide, we will explore the steps to deploy a Laravel application to the cloud using platforms like AWS, DigitalOcean, and Heroku. We'll also touch on best practices for server configuration, environment variables, and deployment automation.

1. Preparing Your Laravel Application

Before deploying, it’s essential to ensure that your Laravel application is production-ready. Here are some preparatory steps:

Update Dependencies: Run composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev to ensure that only production dependencies are installed.

Environment Configuration: Make sure your .env file is configured correctly for the production environment. You’ll need to set up database connections, cache, queue configurations, and any other service keys.

Caching and Optimization: Laravel provides several optimization commands to boost the performance of your application. Run the following commands to optimize your app for production:bashCopy codephp artisan config:cache php artisan route:cache php artisan view:cache

Assets and Front-End Build: If your application uses frontend assets like JavaScript and CSS, run npm run production to compile them and ensure that assets are optimized.

Database Migration: Make sure your database schema is up to date by running:bashCopy codephp artisan migrate --force

2. Choosing a Cloud Platform

There are several cloud platforms that support Laravel applications, including AWS, DigitalOcean, and Heroku. Let's look at how to deploy on each.

A. Deploying Laravel to AWS EC2

AWS (Amazon Web Services) offers a robust infrastructure for hosting Laravel applications. Here's a high-level overview of the steps:

Launch an EC2 Instance: First, you need to create an EC2 instance running a Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu). You can choose the instance size based on your traffic and performance needs.

Install PHP and Required Software: Once the instance is up, SSH into it and install PHP, Composer, Nginx (or Apache), and other necessary services:bashCopy codesudo apt update sudo apt install php php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml php-bcmath php-mysql unzip curl sudo apt install nginx

Configure Nginx: Set up Nginx to serve your Laravel app. Create a new Nginx configuration file under /etc/nginx/sites-available/your-app and link it to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.Example configuration:nginxCopy codeserver { listen 80; server_name your-domain.com; root /var/www/your-app/public; index index.php index.html index.htm; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; }

Database Configuration: Set up a MySQL or PostgreSQL database (you can use Amazon RDS for a managed database) and configure your .env file with the correct credentials.

SSL and Security: Secure your application with SSL (using Let's Encrypt or AWS Certificate Manager) and ensure your firewall and security groups are configured correctly.

Deploy Code: You can deploy your Laravel application to EC2 using Git, FTP, or tools like Envoyer or Laravel Forge. For Git deployment, clone your repository and configure your environment variables.

B. Deploying Laravel to DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean provides a simple and cost-effective way to host Laravel applications. Here’s how to deploy:

Create a Droplet: Log into your DigitalOcean account and create a new Droplet with a suitable operating system (typically Ubuntu).

Install PHP, Nginx, and Composer: SSH into your droplet and install the necessary dependencies for your Laravel app:bashCopy codesudo apt update sudo apt install php php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml php-bcmath php-mysql unzip curl sudo apt install nginx

Configure Nginx and Laravel Application: Configure Nginx to point to your Laravel application’s public folder and set up SSL.

Database Configuration: Set up MySQL or PostgreSQL on your droplet, then configure the .env file for your database credentials.

Deploying the Code: You can either deploy your code via Git or use an automation tool like Envoyer to streamline deployments. You’ll also need to configure file permissions for storage and cache directories.

C. Deploying Laravel to Heroku

Heroku is an excellent choice for quick and easy Laravel application deployment with minimal configuration. Here’s how you can deploy a Laravel app on Heroku:

Create a Heroku App: Sign up or log into your Heroku account and create a new app. This will automatically provision a server for you.

Install Heroku CLI: Install the Heroku CLI on your local machine if you haven't already:bashCopy codecurl https://cli-assets.heroku.com/install.sh | sh

Configure the .env File for Heroku: Heroku uses environment variables, so make sure you configure your .env file correctly or set them directly in the Heroku dashboard.

Deploy the Code: Push your code to Heroku using Git:bashCopy codegit push heroku master

Database Configuration: Heroku offers a managed PostgreSQL database that you can provision with the command:bashCopy codeheroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev

Run Migrations: Run database migrations on Heroku with:bashCopy codeheroku run php artisan migrate

3. Automating Deployment with Laravel Forge or Envoyer

For smoother deployment management, you can use tools like Laravel Forge or Envoyer.

Laravel Forge: Laravel Forge is a server management and deployment service designed for PHP applications. It automates tasks like server provisioning, security updates, and Laravel deployments to platforms like AWS, DigitalOcean, and others.

Envoyer: Envoyer is a zero-downtime deployment tool that ensures your Laravel app is deployed with no interruption to your users. It handles the deployment process seamlessly, ensuring the application is running smoothly at all times.

4. Conclusion

Deploying a Laravel application to the cloud can seem daunting, but it becomes easier with tools and services that automate much of the process. Whether you choose AWS, DigitalOcean, or Heroku, each platform offers unique benefits for hosting your Laravel application. Using automation tools like Forge and Envoyer, you can further streamline the deployment process, ensuring your app runs smoothly and efficiently in the cloud.
