Frankly i find it inconsiderate to the social contract to go out on holidays, and sometimes around them.
Its frankly why i always found Black Friday and the "scope creep" of this festival of consumerism partially so repulsive. I mean its repulsive on its own just in the way people act, but doubly so in that it runs right through a national holiday.
I mean there’s precedence. Avian bird flus have been known to infect humans.
I was going to say “are we in a simulation” but this would work too.
Have a backup login. Lemmy.world is overloaded and scaled a bit differently than other instances.
Use this site to find cross-instance communities, just sub to anything interesting (https://lemmyverse.net/). Then go to kbin and do similar.
Sort by new comments, and hot (if on a recent build) and top day.
Use the two squares to cross post properly.
Setup an instance if you are so inclined, even if just a user instance.
You have to go and search out communities to federate with. This is done at the user level . Even now there are a ton of servers so pulling info on everything would probably overload servers as is.
Some of the larger instances are spinning up dedicated containers to handle user traffic and others that do just federation. Which makes sense.
It’s why I like my account here. The folks here are probably more infosec minded and thus, searching all may/has shown me communities I haven’t seen quite yet searching fediverse.
Others may have similar.
But TL:DR: no. You instance will only sync what users have searched. So some of the larger instances may have interesting things in “all” that you may not see.
It’s a mixed bag
I use my own instance 95% of the time. But there are times where I like to use the “All” filter instead of local or subscribed and can find some interesting content I haven specifically sought out. On your own personal instance subscribed and all are basically the same thing.
So I still use accounts, like this one, from before when I built my own. But I am a control freak and like to be in the know as to when I upgrade and or backup. So my own instance is nice for that.
Subscribe to the communities. They aren’t clones. Just different instances. There’s a few links on how to subscribe.
My reccomendation is to go here, hit the home icon and type your instance name. Then search for instances that interest you and join.
Correct. Connect to for example connect to lemmy.ml and pull their communities so it shows in your communities page locally. Dont have to sync the posts etc. Just the base stats (subs, post, comments. Basically exactly what this is doing. https://lemmyverse.net/communities
note: I hadnt seen that page until after my comment... But im getting a lot of 404's on specific communities, so i have to put in their ! name in search...spam that, click to open the community and subscribe.
that would be perfect.
WIth Debian I would install UFW for a firewall. Set SSH to whatever your home IP is. You can always use the Linode SSH console for external access.
UFW is easy to configure and just translates iptables.
sudo ufw allow from any to any port 80 proto tcp
sudo ufw allow from any to any port 443 proto tcp
sudo ufw allow from HOMEIP to any port 22 tcp
If you want leave SSH open. Then i would probably only do Key based auth in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
you also want to edit that file (sshd_config) to disable root access once setup. I often turn on the following
LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes
MaxAuthTries 6
MaxSessions 10
AllowGroups somegroupname
then create a user and a group and add the user to the group. This ensures only that user has SSH access.
sudo adduser someusername
sudo addgroup somegroupname
sudo usermod -aG somegroupname someusername
You can also use visudo to edit sudoers. The first like will require a password. If you use the second line, you can sudo without a password. I would only do the latter if you only use key-based auth though.
someuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
someuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
I also edit /etc/hostname to my server name. Update and reboot. From there run through ansible instructions and make edits as necessary.
Yeah how familiar are you with linux?
You dont run the ansible stuff on the instance itself. You do it from your personal machine or something with ansible installed.
Though I guess in theory you could run it on itself if you dont have another linux box, or something with ansible installed. https://www.middlewareinventory.com/blog/run-ansible-playbook-locally/
But I am happy to walk you though the basics of setting up a securing the box.
He had a dry run with the attempt on his life. He knew nothing would come of it. That the rest of the world would do nothing.
Hell Russia has since pushed the boundaries much further with no recourse.
I can respect that he’s principled and still recognize the total lack of forethought in the move.
