Morning brain fart. What if Masodon *is* the future that Elon imagined. A local square style platform where you can say what you want. But being a toxic asshole means you get booted from the local community and villages next door where toxic people gravitate towards are told they really aren’t welcome.Smaller servers with AUPs so the necessity for moderation is greatly reduced can only seem like a good thing to me.

@jasonlv I have an issue with the whole libertarian fantasy of free speech as it inevitably involves some factions just wanting to say whatever toxic brain fart they come up with without consequences.That’s wrong as functional society depends on conforming within the acceptable norms of the day while pushing society forward. I think that is important as when our most vulnerable are lifted up then all of society are lifted up.

Today while trimming trees in the garden I found this branch was a Weta hotel. The way I know this is a MASSIVE Weta came out after I cut it. Not going to lie, I fucking screamed.

@aurynn @idanoo @billbennett I think the number of NZ servers outside the big two are few. But nothing to say you couldn’t. But. Really. Would you want to? I could do it for the LOLs and capacity wise it should be fine as long as I have a WAF/DDoS control in front.

@nzlemming @justinwilkins @lightweight @chanezon as someone who uses WSL daily I find it excellent. Great integration with Docker and pretty much complete Ubuntu distro, so much of the port forwarding pain goes away.Means I don’t need to run VMWare as much for most of my daily work.What’s not to like.

@jerry @malwaretech actually the correct response is “this is how we roll bitches, testing in prod FTW”

@jackyan weird. I thought the move to HTTPS happened about 6 or 7 years ago when all the main search engines started finally deprioritising non HTTPS traffic.Every competent hosting provider and even a lot of the terrible ones sorted out Certbot to issue LES certs, or kept on paying the Digicert tax every 13 months.I’m surprised to see a blog like this in 2023.

@jackyan search engines started penalising HTTP sites a few years ago. I’m struggling to find the threads. https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/160791810/remove-old-http-links-from-google-search?hl=enBasically you should use a wildcard 301 redirect HTTP to HTTPS while maintaining the URI and then ask google to reindex your site. And it should come right in a week or so.

@mjg59 @froztbyte the problem is it’s very plausible.

@mjg59 in NZ it’s very common to have fibre 100/500. But in my view anything over 25mbit aka a single HD stream per person is icing on the cake. Once your latency is down to sub 5ms to your BNG then everything is good.I still think for most households 200/100 is the perfect speed. As long as traffic is policed correctly so you have no packet loss.And those people posting speed tests are compensating for something.

@Pineywoozle @Infoseepage @jeff @TonyStark as someone who lives in NZ and see the very stark implications between either person being elected I know I would absolutely prefer Biden. That being said how the hell is anyone supposed to move the needle slightly towards peace other than saying “I’m not voting for Biden because of genocide”Even Reagan of all people managed to get Israel to back down.People’s memories are short.

@Firesphere @lightweight I do firmly blame much of the situation on Microsoft being unable to supply an OS with sufficient hardening steps that a separate vendor is required for EDR rather than the OS being sufficient.I also blame IT Security management requirements in some industries such as Telco, Fintech, Medical and Aviation that have rightfully have vulnerability policies that if a zero day drops it needs to be patched immediately before you get pwned.

@Firesphere @lightweight and all I need to say is “log4j, OpenSSL shell shock and xz” where similar issues that impact Linux hosts.The main difference is where complexity and the environment grows and managers don’t want to pay staff to be available 24/7 for remediation that tools will come in place to replace humans with automation… and when those tools are deployed at scale this could very easily have happened on any platform.

@lightweight @Firesphere I know many large organisations that run Crowdstrike or similar EDRs on their Linux fleet with automated updates from the internet.To say that Linux is magically immune from this sort of attack is nonsense.As soon as you have automated deployment of patches without human intervention because you don’t want to pay staff to manually manage it then you are in this situation.MS hasn’t helped but this is a human not tech problem.
