If the caldav and cardav specs were more practical and less insane, we would probably have a lot more choice in software to these ends.

You might be thinking of PKI and certificate trusts.

Tier 1 in DNS terms are high-level peered (peered with other tier 1 servers in major network segments) and just refer requests either downstream or to other tier 1 servers. This is no longer as necessary with CDNs everywhere, and DNS infrastructure no longer has to mirror routing landscapes, but it seems that opennic.org is still organised in this way.

Anecdotally, I switched a small network to use opennic in 2019 and it was a disaster, never again. I see that the DE servers are still being recommended to me in Canada, so I guess nothing has changed. Opennic is an example of a good idea with terrible execution.

This can’t be achieved with banip only, it bans based on CIDR blocks at layer 3 (IP).

Yeah, I also just hooked up tbird to my radicale instance. It’s a bit overkill, but it does work to edit calendar items.

I worded it badly, but if keys can’t be exchanged because aws is down, e2ee is effectively compromised by disruption. This has happened several times now.

Op specifically asked about a self-hosted option. I think it was fair to comment that Signal wouldn’t satisfy this requirement.

Of the tier 1 servers, 2 are in DE and 2 are in USA.

You won’t really hit tier2 unless you’re trying to hit very specific records.

You may need to go catch up on this. The “dev” in this case caused more issues than they solved.

One can’t be missed if one didn’t contribute to anything in the first place.

Be aware that the Signal Foundation still runs servers for the signal service. If a state actor compromises them, e2ee is no longer guaranteed.

That makes sense, since you’re in EU and opennic is in DE.

3 x 3tb in raid5 can lose one disk of three. That is less redundancy than raid 1 on 2 disks, plus a write penalty.

Welcome to Linux town, man. Debian’s been bloody flogged into a million distros, but it’s OK. Arch will be too.

That’s a fair statement.

Your username is amazing .

True, but not all Linux is FOSS, even though there is some significant overlap.

Looks good, and highlights how little we generally need to be functional.

Hmmm… Calibre web’s kobo integration is good enough, but Komga seems to be able to sync progress as well?

I might have to try Kkmga after all.

Wait, I use CWA… What do I need to be outraged about this time?

Haha too right mate

I haven’t run into any file managers that hide the path with no option to show it. Which one(s) are you talking about?

Nice.

Other actions are possible with watchdog timers, especially with hypervisors. They can invoke a script or use an agent to kill a misbehaving process.

Ultimately, the best solution is not to need the timers at all, so finding the culprit within the client is ideal, though not always possible.

VMs hanging on memory often have incorrect caching policies, you may want to investigate that.
