Did you try meshcentral? It’s a selfhosted MDM.

It’s easy. Mumble. Or the thing you used probably still works.

But you see, people never actually seek a discord alternative. They want a discord alternative that includes all the features in one app that is also federated, AND end to end encrypted, and each one makes things vastly more technically challenging and resource intensive and then you want them together.

A little secret: Matrix is much, much easier to host if you disable encryption and federation. Federation to many servers is the main performance killer, and “failed to decrypt message” will all disappear if you disable encryption.

If your software updates between stable releases break, the root cause is the vendor, rather than auto updating. There exist many projects that manage to auto update without causing problems. For example, Debian doesn’t even do features or bugfixes, but only updates apps with security patches for maximum compatibility.

Crowdstrike auto updating also had issues on Linux, even before the big windows bsod incident.

https://www.neowin.net/news/crowdstrike-broke-debian-and-rocky-linux-months-ago-but-no-one-noticed/

It’s not the fault of the auto update process, but instead the lack of QA at crowdstrike. And it’s the responsibility of the system administrators to vet their software vendors and ensure the models in use don’t cause issues like this. Thousands of orgs were happily using Debian/Rocky/RHEL with autoupdates, because those distros have a model of minimal feature/bugfixes and only security patches, ensuring no fuss security auto updates for around a decade for each stable release that had already had it’s software extensively tested. Stories of those breaking are few and far between.

I would rather pay attention to the success stories, than the failures. Because in a world without automatic security updates, millions of lazy organizations would be running vulnerable software unknowingly. This already happens, because not all software auto updates. But some is better than none and for all software to be vulnerable by default until a human manually touches it to update it is simply a nightmare to me.

Second comment, but also investigate Wazuh. It can audit systems and report vulnerabilities. It’s not an external scanner, but I have found it to be more effective and less annoying than greenbone/openvas.

Instead of trying to automatically scan your environment, it’s probably better to figure out how to automatically update applications first. CVE’s eventually get patched.

No, isn’t it only software raid5 done via btrfs?

Btrfs + hardware raid should work fine. The OS can’t tell the difference anyways.

Fermi is just a custom client for discord/spacebar. It’s not federated.

It’s not federated, just easy to self host and point custom clients at.

Faster than my edits, I see.

Docker compose’s don’t really need to be maintained though. As long as the app doesn’t need new components old docker composes should work.

EDIT: Oops, it does look like spacebarchat’s docker images have last been updated over 2 years ago:

https://hub.docker.com/r/spacebarchat/server

EDIT2: Although this is outdated, I think their github repo has an action to autobuild docker images on pushes. Still investigating.

EDIT3: Okay, they don’t seem to be actually ran.

But using nix to build a docker image is pretty cool.

EDIT4: Oh shit, the docker image build workflows were added just 2 hours ago. Of course they haven’t been ran!

Docker support soon, probably.

EDIT5: the workflow ran, but it looks like it’s private for now.

Literally reverse engineered discord, made open source.

That’s not quite true. Virtualbox is free but the extension pack is not. It says on the website that it’s under a different license.

Just don’t get it from the website but from a distro’s repos instead and you’ll be fine. Distros usually patch out telemetry as well.

But yeah, Oracle and similar schemes are why software installation is so restricted on corporate devices. It’s basically ransomware, freeware that people are willing to sue over.

Edit: it should be noted that charging people for licensed software in a corporate environment is okay. I have heard stories of Oracle making people buy licences for EVERY computer even if only one person downloaded the software…

What about domain reputation?

Have you considered that the reason why your mail server is trusted is because it’s been around for 20 years?

Have you tried to set up mail from scratch on a new domain/ip recently?

I think I’m in love. They have such great variety, and the artstyle is so neat. And I love stickers because they are such great conversation starters.

In the old days, university IT put essentially no access controls on their networks, so students’ dorm computers were completely exposed to the internet

Dorm ethernet works this way for me right now. It’s how I host some stuff. I only get 100 mb/s per port though. I’ve bonded two ports to get 200 total.

Because the extensions replaced wordpress’ sitebuilder/editor. If I were to get rid of the extensions I would basically have to recreate the site anyways so I might as well switch away from wordpress.

It powers lichess.org, who have made multiple blogposts about how happy they are with it.

Lichess is a FOSS chess server that somehow manages to compete with chess.com proprietary, distributed, milticloud kubernetes setup from a single VPS. According to them, scala helps.
