It *is* a thing. Just not the thing they think.


this is why the nicest thing we can do for our fellows is often let them infodump at us while being encouraging, whether we know the subject well or not <3

every positive bonding interaction helps heal the trauma of years of being beat down for trying to be friendly </3

@Blaise

I believe it is a good thing to be there and actually listen. Though do not expect immediate results. Healing takes time and you do not heal from years of trauma in a discussion. If we expect more than what is realistic then we could become jaded and believe we cannot help. This would be unfortunate.

I agree completely. Often times people say "It happened for a reason..." and they are right. Just not the reason they suppose. Confirmation Bias is extremely hard for us to get past even with the best of intentions.

Not So Sensitive Content Contemplation


I am not sure why. Some users go crazy with labeling everything as Sensitive Content. I guess they do not realize if you highlight everything on every page then essentially nothing is highlighted? Well, let them be them and I will be me. From here on out if it is labeled Sensitive Content I am ignoring that post. Not because it has sensitive content, rather because I am sure it does not. I will also start ignoring users that post everything they post as sensitive content.

I know it should not bother me. It does though so I will just make it go away.



Is Concern Over Security Overrated?


The average user may believe that all the hype they read about security on the internet is overrated. To be honest some of it is and some of it is just to sell you a product you do not need.

In the case of Internet Facing Services this is not the case. If you have an internet facing service then you have to be sure your server is secure. This is why I insist on SELinux on my servers. AppArmor is easier to configure though not as configurable as SELinux for as many cases. I would also strongly suggest you never disable SELinux (or AppArmor if that is what you are using) to ease installation and implementation. It is not worth the risk. Just learn to use your Gnu/Linux Hardening system to its fullest extent. Do not disable it.

I have attached a screenshot of an ssh session to my VPS. As you can see every few seconds an attack fails. This is why the security is required.

I just do Friendica and Matrix at this point. I checked out Mastodon though I am way to verbose, as you might have noticed, to live with only 500 characters 😀.

Yes, I kind of figured that though I do not see the point of running both a friendica and mastodon instance. I cannot afford another VPS and I would rather not divide up the resources further than I already have. Friendica really uses a lot of memory too.



Server Down


I am not sure how long the Server has been down today. I went to login and got a 503: Service Unavailable. I am looking into what caused the issue.

After discovering that I could not connect to my instance, though the server was still up. I did the most reasonable thing ;). I rebooted it. That seems to have fixed whatever took the service down. I am looking into what caused the issue and how to prevent it in the future.
