Well and Linus wasn’t lying about it. He is the person who ironically knows least about the whole Linux ecosystem which we have today…

At this point I think he’s not even aware of Valve Steam Machine. Not following the news on distros. Not following any discussions. Not into gaming. Not into memes. Not into anything, other than compiling the kernel.

Now you’re taking bs. It was a real interview

I was really surprised surprised that Linus Torvalds didn’t knew about arch btw as well as Linux ISO meme.

I mean, come on. Linus is really only checking his emails.

Its about time they move to Linux.

Do you like the setting to be opt-out so “all” will be the default (like now). Or should we make this combined frontpage an opt-in feature (default will stay “threads” like before)?

In my case I do also use “sub” feed. But I still want to see only threads by default. I do use microblogs as well, but if I want to see posts, I click on the Microblog menu.

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.

Try lynx

You can also look to alternatives, like WineGUI

I wish github provides a better way to ask for money and to pay out bug bounties … (no I’m not talking about sponsorships)

Under 10k

At this point I’m thinking of creating my own client haha.

I believe MailSpring is really powerful. But some advanced features are behind a pro account. MailSpring itself is open source.

Mesa is just a separate package. Especially if you are running Amd drivers that are part of the Linux kernel, it can be a good idea to use a more modern mesa package.

There is a PPA for that, that also works under Linux mint cinnamon edition: https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/kisak-mesa

If you wish to use the latest mesa driver under Linux mint, you can use the following ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/kisak-mesa

Mainly relevant for AMD videocards.

Well. I used all alternatives (trust me). And I’m coming back to Linux mint due to the most stable system, that is not called Debian. I don’t have the time to debug my system, as a software engineer I’m debugging enough already.

Linux Mint

maybe the easiest solution for these people is just running Linux Mint. And get fully rid of Windows. No grub issues :) And lets face it. this is anyway the best solution long term.

Drivers for what? Maybe that was 2008?

I use Linux 100% for all gaming related stuff. Meaning I also fully got rid of windows.
