  Well, thank you for pointing me to this project. Didn’t know about it. I’ve just built it. So, the part of I’ll do my best to see what can I help with applies here to.

  The project management may have some obvious problems (jOin dIsc0Rd sErVEr; w0rD “thEy” t0o p0liTicAl). But we really need an alternative to browsers funded by Google (Chrome and Firefox).

  So I’ll do my best to actually build from sources and see what can I help with. Attacking the author is helping nobody.

  And for the folks who are saying “wHy n0t rUst”, you can always show me the code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New apartment Internet has no port forwarding, admin login⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  VPS + VPN is the cheapest option I believe for the services. It doesn’t have to be “elaborate”.

  You can port-forward public VPS ports to your private addresses/ports. If you don’t want to use iptables you can use firewalld.

  The only “but” will be latency. For gaming it won’t perform as you may need.

  It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternatives to Hashicorp Vault?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of “rug pulling” regarding it license.

  The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to preserve my comments before closing my instance?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If your comments have been federated to other instances, they will be there until they are deleted locally. If someone clicks on your user profile, they will get a DNS error if the domain is no longer there. Images in the comments pointing to you instance will be broken too. Nothing terrible actually happens.

  Migrating accounts a la Mastodon is not happening soon in Lemmy.

  My advice is: Go on and save some money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not an expert. But I believe it is something to do with information redundancy.

  If you mishear a word but surrounding words must match gender and number, you may reconstruct the misheard word.

  As a native spanish speaker, I don’t think of the actual sexuality of objects, it’s just a characteristic of the word that should match other words in the sentence. For example the word screen (pantalla) is femenine, and the word monitor (monitor) is masculine. So when I see my monitor I don’t think of an actual female or male object. But the nouns should match adjectives gender, so if someone says “broken monitor” (monitor roto) or “broken screen” (pantalla rota) I have this kind of redundancy if a misheard a word.

  But I’m not an expert of linguistics. Don’t quote me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Spanish enters the room: words have gender, but there are special cases where the definite article switches gender.

  “El hacha roja/Las hachas rojas”, “El agua fría/Las aguas frías”

  Also, some words may have both genders:

  “El computador/La computadora”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who would win?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL I saw the video again. Both cops shoot to nothing lol. They are not even aiming.

  Fortunately for the victim, they suck at trying to shoot a still target. Why gringos allow that kind of people to be police is beyond me.

  The only thing that can justify the woman police, is that she only sees her mate rolling like madman and shooting to the car. It’s fair to assume that there’s a threat, if her mate is mentally stable and trained. Which apparently is no a true premise.

  Yes. Trained.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home server tips and security for beginners?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Firewall should block everything by default, and you start allowing incoming and outgoing connections when you need them.

  Disable passwords and root access in ssh daemon.

  Use fail2ban or something similar to block bots failing to log-in.

  Use random long passwords for everything (eg: like databases). And put then in a password manager. If you can remember the database password, it’s not strong enough. If you can remember the admin password for a public web service, it’s weak.

  Don’t repeat the passwords. Everything should have its own random long password.

  .env files and files with secrets should be readable only by its service user. Chmod them to 400.

  Monitor logs to see if something funny is happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home server tips and security for beginners?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Random ports are easy to discover and are tools to discover what service is behind a port.

  It’s annoying for the legitimate user and easy to bypass by an actual attacker.

  Also, if you use a random port above 1024 it could be a security issue since any user could star listening if the legitimate process crashes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray!⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And you have to pay like 5K to USB-IF to build your own implementation. Because everybody forgets that USB is proprietary.

  But the madness of every vendor having it own proprietary conector is worse.

  USB-C and USB PD may not be good enough, but the are in the good direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the practical benefits of the fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pros:

  • No single entity that have all control.
  • No entity profits from it, so you are not a product.
  • Related to above: No trackers, no ads, no spyware, etc.

  Cons:

  • It is run by volunteers: bad uptimes, slower progress, slower fixes, etc.
  • Some volunteer may give up and delete the instance. It happened to my first Lemmy account (nothing against you, stux)
  • No market-driven decisions means sometimes instances defederate each other for purely ideological reasons. Sometimes very childishly.
  • Lots of fedidrama.

  Welcome to Lemmy. Hope you enjoy it.

  You may have one psql server per region and then use Bucardo to synchronize them.
