Why is the #FSF recommending the #Apache2 license as permissive license above #MIT, #ISC, #BSD etc.?
Sneaky way way to promote #GPL3 above #GPL2? As far as I know Apache 2 is not compatible with GPL2.
Why in the world would one choose a permissive license which is not compatible with GPL2?
#license #software
Software that just works: #monit has been running for years, only sending me messages when something has triggered. I had forgotten it uses #postfix to deliver mail. I didn't know I had a mail server anymore :-). #Apache2 needed a restart after 8 years or so (haven't checked, maybe it is just 5), there was a memory leak somewhere.
Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media
I already wrote about caching here
Now I extended what I cache a bit.
This was because after enabling Option to proxy media I've seen access to the file paths /x/ and /y/ in addition to the path were snac stores the media that I include in my own posts ( /s/ ).
There are two locations to proxy media, depending if you requests the media via the mastodonapi or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2 path too, because I've noticed it was queried all the time by a lot of instances and it gives me pleasure to see something cached handed out in the access logs
(I guess it is actaully irrelevant for the system resources).
This is the updated setup:
Enable the relevant modules:
Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)
Then add to the snac Virtualhost config:
Further reading and all options explained under https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html (and ff)
The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac defaults to set

<LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0">This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the /s/, /x/ and /y/ Path, as well as for /$username/nodeinfo20, utilizing the mod_expires to generate the appropriate cache headers (for lazy ones like me), In this case caching it for 1 day.
CacheEnable disk
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"

The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac defaults to set
no-cache on that location and the modexpires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as modexpores woud. (mod_expires will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expiresheader.

I decided to prematurely optimize and adjust this for my apache2 httpd server in debian where I run snac.
I've never done any

I decided to prematurely optimize and adjust this for my apache2 httpd server in debian where I run snac.
I've never done any caching etc before so it was a nice adventure to learn something new. The documentation helped and in the end it wasn't very hard. I learned a bit about some http headers and regex on the way too.
Basically it works like this:
Enable the relevant modules:
´a2enmod expires cache cache_disk´
Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service)
Then add to the snac virtualhost config:

Thanks for the initial tutorial @itnotes@snac.it-notes.dragas.net
Edit:
Oh and don't hesitate to tell me what I did stupid while setting this up, maybe in nicer words, if it is. And also I can't get the markdown Code formatting working apparently. well. Sorry for all the edits.

*EDIT thanks for all the (similar) answers! 
I had always thought a web server only would serve files owned by the web user, regardless of those file mode settings! I was mistaken! :)
Apache2 (on Debian) question
Uhh, I put a file owned by root in my web server dir, and now I can download it from my browser.. is that supposed to be possible or do I have to change some settiing? 
I thought only files from the www user should be viewable/downloadable?
Can I use #apache2 licensed emojis on a T-Shirt that I would sell? Or do I have to include license and source code link...
Add canonical headers for files in Apache2

ads' corner · Add canonical headers for files in Apache2Search engines will complain if websites and files do not have a canonical name, and appear under multiple different URLs with the same content. Especially for search engine optimization this is a big no no.
Ich habe den Artikel "Friendica auf dem Raspberry Pi installieren" noch mal überarbeitet bzw. erweitert.
Hinzugekommen sind die Installation von #Apache2, #MariaDB und die benötigten PHP-Module, sowie die Konfiguration des Virtuellen Hosts für Friendica.
So ist nun eine komplette Installationsanleitung daraus entstanden. 
Hier geht es zur Anleitung:

The Linux Lite logo is a yellow feather to represent the lightweight Linux distribution that installs well on older hardware. The Linux distribution is "light as a feather."
https://www.linuxliteos.com/index.html
But the Apache2 HTTP server also has a feather as a logo, but Apache2 is not considered lightweight compared to other web servers like Nginx or Lighttpd.

We've tried to provide good reasons for why changing a software license from truly #opensource to some source-available license makes little sense from a business perspective (in our opinion & experience).
We won't be changing the #Apache2 license for our products. Our main goal is to provide users with good products & help them use these efficiently.
