Well, with the script at least you can follow the actions first, so it’s better…just don’t run it blindly because 2 minutes ago the attacker just put an additonal line of code in…

The executable / installer is more of a Windows thing and we’ve seen how that arms race is going… even Microsoft are trying to create a Linux-style repo called Windows Store.

curl | sh is the worst security front door I’ve seen

At least check the script first so it’s understood

Me, an Arch user (btw), watching the NPM chaos on any distro…

DNS… set your system up to use an external DNS provider like OpenDNS where you can select categories to block.

I used this to block adult, gambling, malware, etc at the grandparent’s house when the kids were growing up and starting to search the internet for school homework, etc.

If it’s done in the router you’ll cover all devices and you give someone else the password, so you can’t change it.

Yeah, I’m kinda, open wardrobe door, grab what looks about right for today, done.

But.

I can see another use case here…

• Partner “has nothing to wear”
• Mentions buying more clothes
• I open app, scroll, demonstrate how long the scrolling is still going for.
• Win argument.
• Purchase beer with saved money
• (pass some to devs for assisting)

… because? … or, instead, do…?

Nice wiki

Didn’t know about infCloud… thanks

Kinda overlapping other replies, but to answer your question: A = your external IPv4 address

The rest could be empty AAAA = an external IPv6 address NS = a DNS server MX = Mail Server

TXT is just text, but it can be used by, ie Lets Encrypt to prove you own that domain for your SSL certificate

If you open TCP 80 / 443 on the open internet EVERYONE will probe you, but you want to run a Friendica server, so you kinda need that (disclaimer: I do not know how Friendica is setup)

So, you’ll need something (firewall, Fail2Ban, etc) to protect your server whilst also allowing it to federate to other servers.

I’d strongely suggest you put your server on a VPS with a provider that has some level of defense already setup for you.

I wouldn’t run this in your home network with putting it into a DMZ of some kind.

Depends if they have Prime next day delivery…

CGA? RS233?

I can sell them to you for some petrol for my generator…

It’s always good to have a plan…

Yeah, not heard of this either

Following the cross-post to the site: https://twtxt.dev/ it seems this has been going for ~10 years!

It’s basically plain text tweets

You know, I’m gonna upvote you just based on the amount of brandnames you know 😁

It’s all good points, I’m just gonna pass on this one.

I’m not throwing anything at the project or questioning anyone’s parents… just gonna walk on by…

I wouldn’t say most, but I do agree that I won’t be using this purely based on name.

As others have asked, desktop or laptop

But also where is it? If it’s a “desktop” but on the floor in a deep carpet, tucked against the dark corner of the room under a desk, that’s not going to help… bring it out into the air…

And for a laptop… lift it off the desk

I created an MDF raised deck for my laptop, with a massive slot where the fan intake is underneath, that really helped it breathe.

Looking to the future, if cooling is going to be a problem, I like to over spec’ the equipment and underutilise it - it’s better to run something twice as powerful at half the load… this knowledge came from the hifi world.

TL;DR: I support the change in Rule 3

I think the only thing I’d start rolling my eyes at would be if the posts ended up being low effort photo posts of racks of equipment…

Sure, a nice background story might help, but I want to read about something that’ll help me, or help someone understand something I know.

I’m even half interested in cloud based offsite backups as that’s a (possibly) necessary safetynet for us.

I think we’re grown up enough to signpost OT posts elsewhere rather than cry to the mod(s).

(Oh, and thanks btw… I appreciate what you do)

I can see a lot of opinions & comments on the QR part and, with respect, I’d like to add that I’m reading this post on a device where I’d like to view the site on the same device, so a QR isn’t best for this platform.

I’d go a little further and say that QRs and really only useful for a mediim where you want the user to use a 2nd device (printed media, BSODs, etc)

Also putting the URL in the (for my reader) non-clickable alt-text doesn’t help either

Again, with respect, you’re making it harder for your audience to reach you, not easier.

Didn’t Men At Work have a song about a land yundera?

Yeah, I kinda held on to the old version for a while too TBH, syncthing-fork had a problem where I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted it, so I’d gone back to syncthing, then with all the kerfuffle, I just stayed there.

Some time earlier this year I tentatively upgraded 1 phone and a tablet (it’s used as slideshow screensaver…) and it all seems to work ok.

The GUI isn’t quite as good as the native webUI, but it’s still accessible, so all’s good.

There was a change in the syncthing “DB” a while ago, so it might take a while to rescan things if you have a lot of small files, but feel confident to change.
