🖥️ My ultra-budget server powering http://websysctl.alfonsosiciliano.net has been running smoothly for the past 2 months. So far, so good!

📈 #Crawlers hit tens of thousands of sysctl parameter pages daily. That's fine, since robots.txt allows it. But why keep requesting non-existent pages as if the site were built with WordPress 😤 ? Fortunately, the stack (#FreeBSD freebsd + #OpenResty 🌐 + #Lapis ✏️ + a custom-built #database 📦 ) stays well within the limited resources of my $5/month cloud server.

The code might soon be #OpenSource stay tuned!

#UNIX #sysctl #WebDev #WebServer #ThePowerToServe #coding #Lua #kernel

Screenshot of the "Tree MIB" page from the WebSysctl site. The left panel shows an expandable tree view of the FreeBSD sysctl MIB hierarchy, with nodes like sysctl, kern, vm, sys, security, and their subcategories. The security.mac.mmap_revocation_via_cow node is selected. The right panel displays detailed information about this sysctl parameter, including its link, OID, name, description ("Revoke mmap access to files via copy-on-write semantics, or by removing all write access"), type (integer), format (I), flags (RD, WR, MPSAFE), label, and handler status (Defined). The top navigation bar includes links: Home, Docs, Table, Tree (highlighted), Update, Login, and Contacts.
