Sun reflections making nice shadows on my wall

Mmmm.. Black in black, on a black table

As the thunderstorm approaches it is fascinating to follow lightning strikes in almost realtime at https://www.lightningmaps.org #Blitzortung is really awesome project

Well that was weird: I updated my #OpenSUSE workstation with no problems. But after the update I got Signature verification failed for file 'repomd.xml' from repository 'Packman Repository'
The error disappeared when I disabled the #Squid proxy in #pfSense 🤔

On my #Lineage phone I am trying to connect #Tusky (dl from #fdroid) to connect to #fosstodon.org but after entering my password I get redirected to net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
Any ideas?

After running a couple of days my #wordpress #fail2ban list averages somewhere around 500 blocked ip addresses.

I noticed my #wordpress used quite a lot cpu to handle a bot army trying to bruteforce login. So I added #wp-fail2ban, using #rsyslog to send relevant log entries to my webproxy where #fail2ban now maintain iptables blocking the bots.
Cpu load now dropped from 25% to < 2% and BF attempts has dropped from appx 800/hour to 50/hour.

#Orvibo #IoT provider "24-Hour Home protection" Well, not really. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2019/07/02/confirmed-2-billion-records-exposed-in-massive-smart-home-device-breach/

I seems that we now have a buyer for our house. Now i am forced to decide if should give up on running my own mailserver, wordpress host, ect. I could just move all it to a hosting provider 🤔
Onthe other hand - If I give up on running my own servers, I could play with something new, like Mastodon, Matrix ..

Man ku' måske også bare slukke? https://politiken.dk/kultur/design/art7223363/Er-du-tr%C3%A6t-af-at-mobilen-lyser-om-natten-S%C3%A5-k%C3%B8b-dette-hylster-til-500.000-kroner

Damm.. they really should make polls like this with sliders :-) Then I could put some on love Debian, a little more on Fedora and a lot on OpenSUSE https://opensource.com/article/19/1/linux-distribution-poll

Ahh.. coffee and gingerbread. Actually I need to find a BSD Daemon to my collection.

Dear #tootbrain, should sudo on a hosted #linux require password?

I have several vm's at different hosting providers, so I cannot be absolutely sure the shell have not been compromised and equipped with a keylogger. As it is impossible for me to remember a password for each machine, I login using ssh keys. In this case I think it is better to have no password required for sudo.

What do you think?

so I added #roundcube to my mailserver. It is like meeting and old friend, look and feel exactly as remembered several years ago. And that is not a bad thing.

The base part of #Nextcloud is really good. But I am somewhat disappointed by the mail client.

I am sorry but I dont understand French enough to follow all those French speaking videos on #peertube . I think it would be more usable if videos could be tagged with spoken and subtitled language

Not sure what I think about big blue #ibm buying #redhat 😕 https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/28/ibm-to-buy-red-hat-for-34b-in-cash-and-debt-taking-a-bigger-leap-into-hybrid-cloud/

Got my hand on wifes machine, it had Googlechrome installed. In Chrome I was able to jump around in the #peertube video without problems. So it must #firefox related.

Using #peertube on #firefox (60.3.0esr) I cannot skip part of a movie. Seems that video never resumes playing if I jump further than what have already been cached. Does anybody know if this is a Firefox or Peertube related problem?
