Headline read to me like Mordor criticizes Shire for query into Sauron’s social media platform

I don’t like it but sure seems like you’re correct :(

You probably already do, but if you need SSH, use crowdsec, SSHGuard or fail2ban to help filter bot nets.

I have IPs hitting from all over the world, trying logins all the time. Like several per minute, I can only imagine what it would be like if I wasn’t blocking IPs with multiple failed login attempts.

This the class where they teach us about how many angels can dance on the head of a needle? I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve used those formulas

In the late 90s you could get CDROMs from the nerds at university with everything you need on them. If you got your sound card working and could play an mp3, you felt like a master hacker who had beat the game.

Amazing article!

Hell yeah! It’ll be super satisfying to give your system a good cleaning and upgrade. Enjoy!

Aug 11th is the peak this year. Should be good tonight too :)

I second this.

I have a nextcloud instance on pi4 for personal use and love it.

It’s not good for live transcoding of video, but works great for calendars, file sharing, photo sharing and music streaming.

I have a 500 gig SSD for most stuff and a 6TB HDD for backups and archiving.

I use docker compose to map a folder called archive in my instance to the HDD.

Word! Thanks for the info

I didnt realize. Do you have more info on this?

I love this so much

Any reason why?

I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.

I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they’ve been great

Bad ass! Thank you for this wisdom

Oh word! I forgot about Signal. I use the snap for that. It works well. I think copy/paste works with it.

I used apt for Firefox, Krita, ffmpeg, Blender and Ksnips

I think the big commercial programs I use were installed with vendor scripts

I’m daily driving Ubuntu and my experience aligns with this.

My only gripe is snaps can break copy/paste and prevent me from saving files where I want. This might make Ubuntu unusable for people using Linux for the first time and makes no sense if you dont understand how snaps are sandboxed and how permissions work. The solution is install with apt.

The installer, system configuration programs and UI experience is really good. I argue it is a much superior experience to Windows and arguably better than OS/X. A lot less garbage being shoved down customers throats.

Very good points.

In my case I just need to for a couple users with maybe a few dozen transactions a day; it’s far from being a bottleneck and there’s little point in optimizing it further.

Containerizing it also has the benefit of boiling all installation and configuration into one very convenient dockercompose file… Actually two. I use one with all the config stuff that’s published to gitea and one that has sensitive data.
