It's not even itself overly broad, it's just been twisted into a global war on terror because the executives want to do that and no one stopped them.

Yes, therein lies the problem. It was a stupid mistake to make and those that voted for it should have known better.

There were two AUMFs. One for "terrorism" and one for Iraq.

I'm not in disagreement, that also wasn't what my initial reply was about.

Yes, we call those "blank checks" to the executive branch. The Germans even have a word for it. We did it with Vietnam and it did not go well. One would have thought the generation in Congress would have learned their lesson given most of them lived through that shitshow.

It goes without saying that military resources can defend themselves when fired upon, there's plenty of precedent going back well before the formation of the US. The AUMFs were not that. They were very clearly blank checks to wage literal wars anywhere the executive desired while providing the flimsiest of evidence - and Shrub did just that. See: Iraq.

The last war by US Congress was declared in June 1942, against Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. US Congress has not made a formal declaration of war since then.

😂😂 except in the countries we invade...

Source: old enough to remember Iraq and Afghanistan as an adult and have a parent that went to Vietnam.

Systems with exposed SSHd, but also properly configured, are also not at risk.

 

What is everyone doing? SELinux? AppArmor? Something else?

I currently leave my nextcloud exposed to the Internet. It runs in a VM behind an nginx reverse proxy on the VM itself, and then my OPNSense router runs nginx with WAF rules. I enforce 2fa and don't allow sign-ups.

My goal is protecting against ransomware and zerodays (as much as possible). I don't do random clicking on links in emails or anything like that, but I'm not sure how people get hit with ransomware. I keep nextcloud updated (subscribed to RSS update feed) frequently and the VM updates everyday and reboots when necessary. I'm running the latest php-fpm and that just comes from repos so it gets updated too. HTTPS on the lan with certificates maintained by my router, and LE certs for the Internet side.

Beside hiding this thing behind a VPN (which I'm not prepared to do currently), is there anything else I'm overlooking?

 

Anyone done this? Got a set of repeatable instructions? My understanding is that the root docker image needs to switch from alpine to ubuntu and that hasn't happened yet.

 

How do you configure your webfingers to support multiple subdomains that host AP services?

Edit: looks like someone filed this issue. If you have a GitHub account, please thumbs up/bump it!

My background is backend development with Java and Kotlin for the last decade. I have a little bit of HTML/JS experience but I'm not a pro. I would like to build a modern Sierra game, of sorts.

I have no problem investing the time, it just seems overwhelming to jump into and while I've looked at a couple of tutorials, I still seem a bit mystified by the process.

I'm interested in multiplayer design and function twofold, as I'm intrigued at both how to make it work efficiently and the reasons some game companies claim their game servers cost millions a month to run and have to shut them off (looking at you, Gun Media).

 

Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?

  • Discoverability?
  • Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I'm ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
  • Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
  • Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)
 

How does this work? How do you host pixelfed.domain.com and mastodon.domain.com together in the same domain, with queries for "@user@domain.com" to the webfinger host path?

I'm other words, how does the querying application know which resource it needs? How do you know that a pixelfed instance will get the pixelfed resource versus the mastodon resource?

 

Do I need my original signing keys? The server ran out of space due to huge pgsql table size, and I don't feel like trying to salvage any part of it. I want to move most of the processes into my home infrastructure with maybe a vps in front of the public connectivity.

Doable?
