I get it, and thanks for the advice. But I dislike what voting does to spaces like this as a matter of principle. It is a social consensus reinforcement mechanism, even if it is implemented with the best of intentions.

TIL jump hosts are an existing concept

Well anyway I enjoyed the read.

I am only here actually because proper forums have yet to figure out federation. As soon as Discourse or Flarum or whatever figure out full federation, I’m gone (over to them).

Specifically, I prefer chronologically sorted posts and the absence of voting systems.

Millennials naively assumed that the following generations would just naturally be as computer literate as they are. We’re dealing with people now who think that wi-fi is internet service.

The author of the article is specifically referring to bulletin board forums when describing forums. Link aggregators like reddit are not forums. They are comments sections.

I do use ClamAV. Most users just run some sort of daily scan, but this is remedial and not preventative.

In order to truly harness clamav’s potential, you need to configure clamonacc on-access scanning. It passes items off to clamd with lowered privileges and prevents file access through inotify until its realtime scan has cleared.

I wonder sometimes if the advice against pointing DNS records to your own residential IP amounts to a big scare. Like you say, if it’s just a static page served on an up to date and minimal web server, there’s less leverage for an attacker to abuse.

I’ve found that ISPs too often block port 80 and 443. Did you luck out with a decent one?

Yeah no, Windows 11 IS far worse than Windows 10

Yeah no, Windows 10 IS far worse than Windows 8

Yeah no, Windows 8 IS far worse than Windows 7

Perpetual Windows $VERSION_THAT_I_GREW_UP_WITH isn’t bad. No, it’s just this new one that’s terrible.

They power on self-test okay, but go on to just fail to switchover during outages. I’m still trying to figure out if it is a factor of cumulative time, running hours, or they’re only good for a fixed number of power failures. And whether its the battery or the UPS device itself.

It feels like crashing your car, and then the airbags go off after you’re already mangled and bleeding out.

Retail UPS batteries don’t even last a single year, in my experience. The weekly brownouts and momentary blackouts probably aren’t helping.

At this point, I’m just thinking of building my own with a charge controller, inverter and a bank of car batteries.

Consider running some kind of file integrity monitoring. samhain, tiger, tripwire, to name a few.

considering containerization, but so far, I find it not worth foregoing the benefits I get of a single package manager for the entire server

Just do MAC with either AppArmor or SELinux.

Now that’s argumentative! Relentless assholery was never the norm. But the ever present possibility that you could come under fire definitely hardened people up with thicker skin. I would call it banter. Or shit talk.

No, actually just the way the internet used to be before it got pussified by eternal hall monitor mentality.

There are portals scattered throughout the land which will only respond to the presence of the sacred fedstones. Once you’ve gathered all of the fedstones, lay them out before a portal and step through. Only those brave enough leave our realm know what secrets the great Fediverse holds.

Games that required a memory pack in order to save were next to worthless in a household where one’s siblings would constantly clear the memory pack’s save data.

They might as well have just been tech demos
