Unless someone finds a way to advertise nodes that doesn’t depend on the entry point then yes. Consider this example: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/…/chainparams.cpp#L112 if someone takes down those domains it is game over for a new node until someone updates the code.

I get your point, those systems make it harder to take down things permanently but they aren’t as resilient and perfect as people paint them to be - an it has nothing to do with being pedantic, it is just the reality of things.

My point was: if you still need some central point of contact what’s the point in decentralized, you can still get fucked.
For instance the DHT systems you talk about, they’re good but still require some centralized points. In a bittorrent network with DHT a new client cannot join without either a tracker or the knowledge of at least one member of the network to exchange peers with. Bitcoin still has some hardcoded DNS seeds in the core client… etc.

bittorrent decentralization
True bittorrent decentralization never happened.
- Comment on Plebbit Will Never Deliver, Apologies for the Hype, Lemmy's Where I’m Staying 3 days ago:
There’s no real / true decentralization. You’re always dependent on something, somewhere in some way. It can be harder to shut it down but there’s also a point of failure somewhere. Blockchain is all fun and games until you’ve to consider resource waste and that you still need DNS and IPs working.

Yeah, that’s a good one as well.

Filebrowser is great, it just lacks two things 1) 2FA and 2) the always upcoming OnlyOffice integration. If we got those two nothing else could ever compete with it.
- Comment on 🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management 2 weeks ago:
I can split the config to another file, not really a big deal. :)
- Comment on 🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management 2 weeks ago:
In the simplest form it might be SSO. It does support multiple users and if you look for instance at the filebrowser example I’m passing the user from to filebrowser. But yes, this is very simple, very crude and exactly what a lot of people need.
- Comment on 🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management 2 weeks ago:
Hmm… some people are going to say that basic auth would be insecure, I’m not going to be there because in this particular case it’s about the same thing.
However, this might be easier to configure and manage permissions than basic auth. Also this works cross-domain and basic auth will require full re-auth for every domain. Another obvious advantage is that at some point I plan to integrate 2FA.
- Comment on 🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management 2 weeks ago:
You can backup the entire file then. I get your point, but it also seems like you’re referring to some container-based approach where you would place this inside a container and then mount the config file to some path. While some people might like that approach, that kind of goes against the original idea here, I didn’t want to run yet another instance of nginx for auth, nor another php-fpm - the ideia was simply to use this on a low power device , no containers, no overhead of duplicate webservers and PHP, just a single nginx running a couple of apps on the same php-fpm alongside this.
- Comment on 🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management 2 weeks ago:
Well, it isn’t pretty, but gets the job done.
The thing with PHP in this case is that I was already serving a ton of simple websites / small apps like freshrss that use PHP and by making this tool in PHP it means I don’t need yet another process running and wasting resources, can just re-use the existing php-fpm for this.
For what’s worth PHP is better than it looks, and my implementation is very crude, but also small and auditable and contained to a single file. :)

Alternatives? filebrowser.org

I get the point, but don’t forget those “secrets” are SHA256 hashes. Not really reversible.

If you manage to make it worth with Caddy can you share your config? I can add it to the readme or something. Thanks.
- Comment on 🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management 2 weeks ago:
Well, me too. But frankly Keycloak, Authelia do too much, require too much and aren’t suitable at all for SBCs and small scale stuff.

Debian repositories include the dav module by default. Not sure about what’s going on with docker.

Nginx is easy to setup as WebDAV server.
- Comment on Many smaller drivers or fewer larger drives? 4 months ago:
Get them as big as possible (wallet allows to), because you’ll get quickly annoyed at having multiple smaller drives. You’ll have to deal with more space, more cables, more power, more sata expansion, more heat etc.
- Comment on flouride 5 months ago:
fluoridation has nothing to with any teeth-related issues, it was all about the US industry having a way to dispose of fluoride, a byproduct of many industrial activities. You can’t just dump fluoride on a river as it has several adverse side-effects, but it you can convince everyone it is good for their health then it’s okay to dump it on the water supply.
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 6 months ago:
I guess the current situation could be better if Opera and Brave coordinated among themselves a shared codebase for a patch that would allow both of them to keep v2 working. The thing is that Brave most likely doesn’t actually care, they’ve a built in adblocker so if v2 goes away then their marketshare will increase. Opera can’t do it alone because, well it is the Opera Chinese owned company after all.
I was really hopping that Microsoft would take on this, think about it, from a strategic PoV if Edge kept v2 and advertised it they could just snatch a big chunk of users from Google.

A better title: Opera explains shit on how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support. Will talk to developers so see if anyone has a good ideas.

The funny part is that they sell it as modern yet they use Java like if it was a banking software from the 90’s.

It’s so hard to have a SMB share with one folder per game. The solution is obviously to run 4000 docker containers.

So, looks like tons of HTTP services and SSH.

Great, but what services are you hosting ? What ports you need?
