Good discussion. I personally feel we need a US instance physically hosted in a neutral location.
I’d do it myself if I had the time. Reality is I can’t consistently make that time commitment. I’d be happy to throw my hat in the ring for setup/config/monitoring initialization.
I agree with your sentiment… But . world isn’t located in the US. I understand why mods wouldn’t want to get tangled up in our mess and bring home a whole heap of trouble to their doorstep for being nothing but gracious hosts.
This is a uniquely American problem that requires an American solution.
I’m forced to use it at work. It’s the worst because it has so many limitations and performance issues. I’m not satisfied because it’s assumed to be an equivalent and it’s not.
Giant shirtless executioners then, I guess.
I like how people assume they bought them to make games instead of buying them to eliminate the competition.
They know, they just don’t give a shit beyond short term gains.
Best way to make the switch is by immersion. I’d also like to add it’s best to do it when you’re not being forced on a timeline, and you have time to deal with it. All my personal machines made the jump 7 years ago and I don’t regret it.
Agreed, IaC has helped that process a lot. I just used to curse.
I agree. However… I do have a public repo with my helper scripts in case I need to set them up on a new machine. best of both worlds!
If I had to guess after managing enterprise WAF across hundreds of domains…
It’s either a crowler or vulnerability scanner, and may be scanning by IP address. I don’t think you configured anything wrong.
You may want to add some form of captcha or user agent based filter to get rid of it. Good news is that it’s not necessarily something to worry about.
I’d avoid IP based blocking. It’s only temporarily effective.
I’m personally using Mint for this exact purpose. It just works and I don’t have to think about it much.
I love Mint for the simplicity. My only complaint is the lack of Wayland support for cinnamon.
I’m in this comment and I don’t know how to feel about it.
I see 803 forks currently, keep up the good work!
I saw so much of this. The same thing with Intel marketing dollars over AMD. Or Nvidia marketing dollars over AMD. Or Microsoft over Linux offerings for laptops. I’m surprised it’s not public knowledge at this point.
