GoAccess Woes

Happy Valentines everyone! I love you all.

I didn't do much today, instead sleep. I hung out with some friends online, but that's about all. Read a little, practiced a little Latin, yada yada yada. I checked my GoAccess logs earlier today and found some weird things. For those of you who don't know, GoAccess takes your web server logs (in my case nginx) and gives you a bunch of nice graphs and numbers. six10.pw actually got the lowest activity it has in months today, only coming in at 46 unique vistors and serving 7 mb of bandwith. Strangely, the most requested URL on today was a CONNECT request to www.msftncsi.com on port 443. 168 to be exact, and all bots. Google tells me it's a site for Windows Servers to request the time and stuff, but my server is running Ubuntu LTS. Maybe this is my gemini hosting software, agate? Never got requests like these before. If you know, email me!

On the same vein, for the past few weeks gots have been making requests to URLs such as "/?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=phpstorm" or "\x04\x01\x00P3OU\xBE0\x00". I assume these are bots trying to find an entry point to my server, but alas, all I have is HTML. What gets me a little worried is that these requests are actually serving data, with the first I mention serving 2.67 kb today and the second 364 bytes. Strange, I wonder what these requests are returning. I'm pretty sure my server is pretty secure. Got the key SSH setup and stuff. Once again, if you know, email me! I'll also probably be installing fail2ban soon, but worried this will hurt TOR users...

Sadly no dreams last night, so nothing new there. Might write a film article later, but it depends on where the night takes me. I've wanted to make a YouTube video analyzing a specific scene from Twin Peaks for a while now, but until then I might just write it here. I also want to get started on a website redesign soon. I've had many people come to me saying "wow I love how minimalistic your site is" and others say "yea your site looks like shit." I'm a huge fan of just HTML and text, with as little CSS as possible, but I might just have to bite the bullet and implement a stylesheet. Don't worry, that lovely black and white theme will stay!

Anyhow, mi tawa for now!
