I'm always so happy that I can learn from friends. For today, I've set up a web hosting panel (CloudPanel) on my server. This server has a bit of an unusual setup, which makes it sometimes harder to get things working.

https://cytag.nl/@kevin@chyros.net has helped me with a "Too many redirects" issue when I set up this Mastodon instance, and his advice helped me today to solve the same bug.

So, if you are running an NGINX server and you have this "Too many redirects" issue, go have a look at my post at 3XN.nl. This particular case is about the correct configuration in case you have a proxy that controls all your SSL certificates instead of the server itself.

The article is subject to change, some code could be uncommented to still work, but this is a quick hack.

Thanks, Kevin!

Twitter's distinctive bird logo will soon be history, the latest move in a series of controversial shake-ups to the social media platform under Elon Musk's stewardship.

The more convoluted the internet gets the more I want this:
A browser extension that redirects you from the websites you don't like to the one you do.

For example: terraria.fandom.com should redirect to terraria.wiki.gg (and the related page, if you put them into the extension). If you've been following the latest furry drama you know what it could also be used for.

#question of the day: is there a way to create #redirects on files in a #GitHub repository?

For example, say one has:

NameOfRepository/awesome_file_about_something.md

But one wants to move it to:
NameOfRepository/something/awesome_file_about_something.md

But folks have bookmarked the former. Is there a way to create a redirect?

I'm fairly confident there isn't...but you never know.

I found this post really helpful in porting my old #Jekyll front matter-based #redirects (which use the `redirect_from` key) to #Eleventy & #Netlify.

@michael Levenshtein, Metaphone (and Soundex) are cool! I have used them a lot when comparing old and new #URLs for #redirects. It matched well.

I think I have never used neither the #easter function, nor the #DNS one, very specific niche these two.

I'm not saying that #SEO is a dirty word, but it definitely takes some work.

How do #website #redirects work?

Link building is just a giant conspiracy to get people to #spam the internet with low-#quality links that will eventually hurt their #website's reputation.

How can I improve my #website's #redirects?

#SEO is all about making sure your #website is visible to everyone who's looking for it!

What is your preference for #website #redirects?

The best thing about #SEO is that it's always changing - so there's always something new to learn!

Is it better to use a single 301 #redirect or multiple 302 #redirects when moving a #website?

#SEO is so important and I’m glad I can help my clients with it! #blessed #makeithappen #hatersgonnahate

What are some common #website #redirects and how do they work?

#TIL that #Cloudflare supports bulk #redirects for proxied DNS entries. This is a lot nicer than making redirects on the #webserver level.

Creating the list of redirects: https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/url-forwarding/bulk-redirects/create-dashboard/

And how to use it: https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/basic-tasks/manage-domains/redirect-domain/

Make sure that the DNS entry is proxied and not "DNS only"!

For the first time in a very long time i had to search a #torrent of a really old movie in a browser without any #adblocker or #privacy filters. After 3 hours of searching all i think is; the amount of #shit #adverstisement #redirects online #games coming out of those websites it's just scary.

It's worse than the popup advertisement dramas of the 90's and 2000's
