As the recored by Linode, the site server was first lauched on Apr 1, 2014. It was running Ubuntu 12.04. Later I setup wordpress and moved my blog here from blogspot on Aug 16, 2024. Spurious Wakeups was my first post. Now, the server is running Ubuntu 24.04, and is using catch box theme with css customization:

@media screen and (width > 960px) { div#page.site { width: 1400px; } div#primary { width: calc(100% - 280px); } aside#secondary { width: 260px; } } .entry-content p { margin-bottom: 20px; } code { background-color: #f0f0f0; border-radius: 4px; padding: 4px 6px; } |
Just updated all plugins and found 3 problems.
1. Google Analytics 4
Google fully replaced Universal Analytics with Google Analytics 4 on July 1, 2024. Just noticed that, all visiting history are lost 🙁
2. Fail2ban not working
Fail2ban is not working anymore, due to the switch from iptables to nftables in Ubuntu 21.10. So it has broken for about 2 years, since my last upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04. Found the issue by running fail2ban-client -d. Simply revert the change in config sudo vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/defaults-debian.conf.

[DEFAULT] #banaction = nftables #banaction_allports = nftables[type=allports] banaction = iptables-multiport banaction_allports = iptables-allports backend = systemd |
Since Fail2ban also updated its default backend from pyinotify to systemd(see above), backend should be also reverted in wordpress config sudo vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/wordpress.conf.

[wordpress-hard] backend = pyinotify enabled = true filter = wordpress-hard logpath = /var/log/auth.log bantime = 86400 maxretry = 1 port = http,https [wordpress-soft] backend = pyinotify enabled = true filter = wordpress-soft logpath = /var/log/auth.log bantime = 3600 maxretry = 3 port = http,https |
Make sure package python3-pyinotify and python3-system are installed. Restart Fail2ban.
3. Akismet not working
Akismet is reporting 500 errors. Details are found in logs: .../plugins/akismet/.htaccess: Require not allowed here. This is sloved by adding config to apache server to allow AuthConfig, in both http and https config files.
