Thanks. There is a dark skin: https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/configuration/#dark-skin-dark

Small advice: would be nice if there was a dark mode, so I can read it at night. (without flash bang)

Yes.

It’s actually funny and sad at the same time. Nextcloud used to be just simple and only focused around file hosting…

You can install actually something called Mainline kernels. Which is a simple GUI app. That works also very well under Mint. Allowing you to install even newer kernels.

First hand experience…

It’s all about server hardening. See https://blog.melroy.org/2023/server-hardening/

most important patch since 1995.

Current version is actually still MIT: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2#license (which is the most preferred license for a low-level library like this)

Switching the license to GPL (ideally GLPv3 or compatible, although IMO we are due for a GPLv4) is a pretty good outcome, hopefully it works.

Actually that means that no company will use it anymore. Since if you have low-level library like that under GPL, then all the source code need to be GPL compatible as well. And 99% of the source code that is build on top of libxml2 is most likely not GPL / no GPL compatible.

Also he was getting every week cve issues, which are often not urgent issues. Yet it costs him a lot of time. He also considers security issues now just the same as a normal issue. Not giving it priority anymore, since that doesn’t make sense anymore for him.

Another maintainer already jumped in and he is now maintaining it. The original author forked it actually his own project, and is planning to release it under gpl license (instead of MIT), basically making it open source in a sense I can’tbe used by big tech. Since that was his point, large software projects and companies relied on his work. Yet nobody is paying him.

Flock is a disgrace for the technology and innovation section.

And governments just like it way too much. Do with your tax money govements are paying these companies a lot of money so they can track you again. It’s insane and I don’t believe this should be legal.

Caddy is also fine.

I wrote a blog about server hardining and you might find it useful: https://blog.melroy.org/2023/server-hardening/

Yes, I run many services and website on the public web from my homelab. Harden your server first. Like disabling root ssh login.

Also enable auto updates on your server. Use your router/server to block some counties using geoip (especially if those services are meant for only a couple of people within your county maybe?). You could also use block lists, there any many bad ip lists out there.

Configure rate limits in Nginx.

You also mentioned fail2ban. You can define many rules and actions. Like blocking ips that might go over your previously defined rate limits. Or 4xx action for ips that request a lot of non existing pages (404 errors) .

Also captcha won’t cut it anymore today. Try https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

Of course expose only what you want to expose, so only open ports in your firewall you really want to open. Ideally put everything behind a reverse proxy like Nginx.

Let’s start with all of the things mentioned above. Ping me later if want to know more or have questions.

Just in time for FOSDEM :P

Extremely uninterested in sharing them with the general public. Don’t want rancid comments about my family, friends, or myself. So I stick to YouTube for all my uploads.

So, YouTube (and cloud) is just somebody else it’s computer. A computer which a large company with millions of dollars behind it, that is the main difference.

YouTube is still very big and used a lot. LBRY/Odysee tried but failed. I hope PeerTube will succeed and I really wish more tech Channels will move to PeerTube as well.

I also believe the web has to become too centralized around Google, YouTube, Reddit, Amazon and alike. The only way to open up the full potential of the internet is to use and promote these platforms. Individual forums as well as software like PeerTube. People will regret if we continue to centralized the web.

Nice to see PeerTube getting used more and more.

What are the odds?

And exactly the same type of the RedHat hats with a black line… What a coincidence?
