Is Lynis (audit tool) worth using in 2025? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, it's worth using. It's fairly easy to install, as it's almost always packaged, and that makes it easy to use.

But it's not really enough. For example, tools like Lynis usually miss containers.

A modern version of this stuff, I would probably recommend scanning all running containers with something like trivy, and then deploying wazuh on the machines. Wazuh can scan the system for misconfigurations in a similar manner to Lynis, but it is also capable of acting as a central logging server and a few other things.

Maybe nginx proxy manager can do this.

Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ? in c/[email protected]

I took a look through the twitter, which someone mentioned in another thread.

Given the 4chan like aestetic of your twitter post, I decided to take a look through the boards and it only took me less than a minute to find the n word being used.

Oh, and all the accounts are truly anonymous, rather than pseudoanonymous, which must make moderation a nightmare. Moderation being technically possible doesn't make it easy or practical to do.

I don't want an unmoderated experience by default, either.

No, I'm good. I think I'll stay far away from plebbit.

To be pedantic, lemmy is federated, rather than decentralized (e.g. a direct p2p architecture).

With decentralization, moderation is much harder than federation, so many people aren't a fan.

I'm not spotting it. "AI" is only mentioned once.

The key and secret in the docker compose don't seem to be API keys, but keys for directus itself (which upon a careful reread of the article, I realize is not FOSS, which might be anpther reason people don't like it").

Directus does seem to have some integration with openai, but it requires at least an api key and this blog post doesn't mention any of that.

The current setup they are using doesn't seem to actually connect to openai at all.

There’s only one project that provides truly static/relocatable python that work on both glibc/musl: https://github.com/leleliu008/python-distribution

There is the python provided by APE/cosmo. They also have two other distributions containing various goodies, pypack1, and pypack2. https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/

But this came at the cost of discontinuing support for Android & Windows

I don't care about android support, but for the competition, and I don't really know about Windows support. Right now, RDP is used to authenticate and managed the machines, but maybe a portable VNC we can quickly spin up, so more than one person can be on the same machine, would be useful.

My original thought was to replace in place, insecure services with secure one's via something like docker containers or nix. But I think many of the machines have too little ram bundled libraries for the services to be viable. I actually tested replacing apache, but it simply wouldn't launch (I think the machine only had 2 GB of ram?).

Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software [SOLVED - THANKS] in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

There are a few reasons why I really like it being public, even though it means I have to be careful not to share sensitive stuff.

  • It creates a portfolio for me (I'm an undergrad) because I document my projects on there
  • When asking for help with certain complex things, it's really easy to simply link to my blog, since I document almost everything I've tried and why it did or didn't work. Here's a recent example
  • I can share cool stuff I have saved, like my lists of learning resources or lists of software, with others easily.

This isn't exactly what you want. But I use a static site generator, with a fulltext search engine (that operates entirely locally!), called quarto. (although there are other options).

Although I call it a "blog", it really is more of a personal data dump for me, where I put all my notes down and also record all my processes as I work through projects. Whenever I am redoing something I know I did in an old project, or something I saved here (but disguised as a blogpost), I can just search for it.

Here is my site: https://moonpiedumplings.github.io/ . You can try search at the top right (requires javascript).

There is literally no way to do performant e2ee at large scale. e2ee works by encrypting every message for every recipient, on the users device.

At 1000 users, that's basically a public room.

So this is a pretty big deal to me (it looks recent, just put up last October). One of my big frustrations with Matrix was that they didn't offer helm charts for a kubernetes deployment, which makes it difficult for entities like nonprofits and community clubs to use it for their own purposes. Those entities need more hardware than an individual self hoster, and may want features like high availability, and kubernetes makes horizontal scaling and high availability easy.

Now, according to the site, many of these features seem to be "enterprise only" — but it's very strangely worded. I can't find anything that explicitly states these features aren't in the fully FOSS self hosted version of matrix-stack, and instead they seem to be only advertised as features of the enterprise version

My understanding of Kubernetes architecture is that it's difficult for people to not do high availability, which is why this makes me wonder.

Looking through the docs for the "enterprise version, it doesn't look like anything really stops me from doing this with the community addition.

They do claim to have rewritten synapse in rust though

Being built in Rust allows server workers to use multiple CPU cores for superior performance. It is fully Kubernetes-compatible, enabling scaling and resource allocation. By implementing shared data caches, Synapse Pro also significantly reduces RAM footprint and server costs. Compared to the community version of Synapse, it's at least 5x smaller for huge deployments.

And this part does not seem to be open source (unless it's rebranded conduit, but conduit doesn't seem to support the newer Matrix Authentication Service.)

So, it looks Matrix/Element has recently become simultaneously much more open source, but also more opaque.

I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.

This is KDE Plasma 6.

Introducing Incus 6.7 (www.youtube.com)
 

Incus is a virtual machine platform, similar to Proxmox, but with some big upsides, like being packaged on Debian and Ubuntu as well, and more features.

https://github.com/lxc/incus

Incus was forked from LXD after Canonical implemented a Contributor License Agreement, allowing them to distribute LXD as proprietary software.

This youtuber, Zabbly, is the primary developer of Incus, and they livestream lots of their work on youtube.
