# Description
This updates our proof-of-work middleware, NoLLaMas, to work on a more easily configurable algorithm (thank you f0x for bringing this to my attention!). Instead of requiring that a solution with pre-determined number of '0' chars be found, it now pre-computes a result with a pre-determined nonce value that it expects the client to iterate up-to. (though with some level of jitter applied, to prevent it being too-easily gamed). This allows the user to configure roughly how many hash-encode rounds they want their clients to have to complete.

* [docs] Don't run SQLite on networked storage
This updates our documentation to include warnings against running
SQLite on networked storage.
It also slightly reorganises and consolidates some admonitions on the
Getting Started page because it was getting a bit too busy with repeated
information.
* [docs] Reword a few things
* Add optional instructions for replicating SQLite for disaster recovery
* Remove references to MacOS from replicating-sqlite.md
Resolve comment on review
* Add mention for replicating SQLite in database_maintenance.md
Adds a reference to the replicating sqlite page under database maintenance
* [docs] Describe how to block IPs using a firewall
This adds some documentation on how to block one, multiple or whole IP
ranges using the firewall. This can be helpful to protect from DDoS
attacks or block certain parties from being able to communicate with
your instance at all.
* [docs] Fix indenting of nft rule
* [docs] Split iptables and nftables into sections
* [docs] Add a certificates guide in Advanced
This adds some documentation about the process of getting certificates
through ACME in general. It also provides a number of links to
alternative clients and certbot deployment guides that are up to date.
Slightly restructure the NGINX and Apache reverse proxy documentation
and insert mentions to the Provisioning TLS certificates advanced
documentation in them.
* [docs] Add firewall section in Advanced
* [docs] Add new guides to section indexes
* [docs] Fix spelling issue
* [docs] Fix a few typos
* [docs] Made Advanced its own section
This splits the Advanced page off from the Getting Started guide and
makes it its own thing. It now has some additional sub-sections for
bigger topics like caching and enhanced security. This also moves
tracing from Getting Started to Advanced as that feels like a more
appropriate location for it.
The enhanced security looks a little silly with a single section, but I
have guides pending for firewall configurations and I'd also like to
consolidate our how to provision TLS certificates in there as we repeat
this information multiple times.
* [docs] Fix all my spelling errors
* [docs] Inline the links in sandboxing
