Java and gradle build is way easier (IMO) than trying to wrangle the dep and build steps of everything react/node/rust based.

You’re not, paid, for, your efforts? Seems to be a misleading statement.

When we talk about Open Source, we’re not just talking about code. We’re talking about a way of approaching software, of designing it, developing it, distributing it, spreading it, making it something that benefits everyone. So being a developer in this context means thinking of software as a common good and then contributing means making it better and if by better we mean more useful, more accessible, more secure, more powerful, more stable and easier to use, then it’s clear that we are not just talking about writing code.

It doesnt really matter what you want. The software is open source so anyone can use the software freely.

the Fediverse may not be for you. You’re probably better off over some place else,

Just going to leave this here. Pretty sure this user knows about the fediverse quite a bit more than you’re assuming.

Hubzilla and the zot protocol are a really promising alternative to ActivityPub, just not as much traction.

Thanks for the insight and well thought out response. I’ll think on it.

There is a stark difference between closing an issue and actually resolving the problem. You’re right; lots of those issues are closed. The identified problems remain and don’t go away merely because you close an software repo issue on it.

Yet this comes across as criticizing their project for what they’ve always said it was, while using said project to do so. Just a bit boggling.

No I’m criticising the Developers complaint that there’s only a few active developers for Lemmy, and the rest of you freeloaders don’t contribute and code.

The number of people who understand Rust, can code in it, know of Lemmy and want to contribute is very few. There would be More developers contributing to Lemmy if it weren’t written in Rust.

because the small number of developers can’t keep pace with issues.

Maybe there’d be plenty more devs if it wasn’t written in a new, up and coming, difficult language to understand let alone master. Maybe there’d be more code contributions if existing ones weren’t closed because you don’t see this being an issue. Maybe there’d be more developers if you’d let there be.

Practice standard server security.

• Disable all inbound ports in the firewall except for those you absolutely need (like port 80/TCP, port 443/TCP, sshport/TCP, DENY all other inbound)
• Use the principle of least privilege. Don’t run your docker containers or web server as the root user. Make a new user, give it only the permissions needed in order to run the service definitely not sudo group. Set a strong password for those users, and disable remote/SSH logins for them
• For SSH, use public key authentication, disable password login afterward
• Instead of fail2ban, I like and would recommend Crowdsec. Needs some fiddling for Lemmy though, due to rate limits and federation

By TUI do you mean VI/M? Or something like helix or slap??

VI is usually on 99% of the time on any Linux system. That’s why I use VIM, to ensure I know what to do for editing and how to do it at a basic level. I mean personally I have a bunch of config settings and plugins, but I an do basic tasks with VI and feel comfortable. I believe that is important for a Linux admin.

Yep, reposts bots are expanding.

Not the Hacker News that I’m familiar with.

That attachment is what they (Reddit) are counting on. It’s your community, not Reddits; and they don’t care. But you do… while admirable in itself, its being used against you.
