Welcome to Germany!

Not true about xmpp in general. There are modern clients out there.

What’s your problem with xmpp?

I totally agree about rate limiting, mostly against bad passwords that you are not in control of. But banning failed attempts is mostly not interesting if you ask me. It feels like the right thing to do, but IP addresses can change and other measures are better.

It’s debated whether software like fail2ban actually helps or if it just makes attacks visible that would anyways fail if you have up to date software. Oftentimes, defensive software adds attack-surface because it adds more software that can be targeted by attackers.

Fail2ban might help with protecting against exploiting of bad passwords though.

Me too :D

This is hilarious. Thank you Lemmy!!

Remeber, the more boxes you have, the more advanced you are as an admin! Once you do his job for money, the challenge is the exact opposite. The less parts you have, the better. The more vanilla they are, the better.

It’s a very loaded term and seems to imply AGI for many.

Don’t worry, the hype will die sooner than later, just like with cryptocurrencies. What will remain are the power and resource hungry statistical models doing nice work in some specific domains, some long faces and some people having made a bunch of money from it. But yeah, the term also makes me angry, that’s why I started referring to them as statistical models.

Am I the only one seeing a parallel between the spectrum planned <-> “free”-market economy and classical algorithm <-> statistical model/ML? It seems that some people prefer to have some magic invisible handle their problems instead of doing the tough work. I’m not saying that there is not space for both but we seem to be leaning on the magic side a bit too much lately.

I think the FHS doesn’t really tell you where. In the end you can out them wherever you want as long there is no conflict with the FHS. Even /mnt/something seems fine. Just not really recommended.

I added icons and corrected some things.

Added!

The colors are confusing. I meant to mark /home as non-standard since it’s not mandated by the FHS.

The FHS doesn’t specifically mention the config of webservices but /srv seems good to me. Read https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html for more info.

Edit: Changed colors

Yes, it is. FHS stands for Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

I think because they want to have files from different packages separate and easily addable and removable using symlinks.

Also some things in the FHS make no sense for modern computers where storage is cheap and system storage is rarely shared amongst systems. The same applies for single-users/desktop machines. But it’s the only standard we have so, why not keep it for now.

Sure, that formulation was not very good. But you get the idea. There is not only the “western” social media world. But what does it look like? I have no clue about what people use in Africa for example.

Thanks for the information!

I would have loved to see the parts that are not under the US-American influence. What are Asian, African or South Americans using?
