I use Yggdrasil now with a whitelist of public keys. Though I'm thinking about redoing my architecture in general to make key distribution easier, have more automated DNS entries and also use the tunnel for any node to node communication.

Before that I tried Tailscale with Headscale, but I didn't want to have a single node responsible for the network and discovery.

Most VMs only run containers, but I have supporting services on every host as well. Stuff like the mesh VPN, monitoring agent or firewall.
If I want a quick overview, a quick systemctl status will tell me everything I need to know.

I've been managing my containers using the older mechanism (systemd-generate) since I started and it's great. You get the reliable service start of systemd and its management interface. Monitoring is consistent with all your other services and you have your logs in exactly one location.

I really wouldn't want a separate interface or service manager just because I'm running containers.

You can still use the real uBlock Origin instead of the mediocre version Google allows

Manjaro does "stability" by delaying everything by two weeks. That doesn't really help at all and might hurt you for security updates, because those will wait the same two weeks.

It uses the Arch repos directly though

Which ones? I'm not aware of any besides specialised distros like SteamOS

Or, you know, a simple installer from the dev's website.

Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?

And it's quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.

They require a lot of driver work to get everything working. Many of their chips for example only support h264 hardware decoding at the moment, although they would be capable of h265 as well. Another example would be the PineTab 2, which now after a few years has working wifi and an alpha bluetooth driver. Yes, it's always getting better, but very slowly and it might well take another few years until you can just run a mainline kernel with full hardware functionality.

I wonder when the year of people shut up about systemd will be

Really interesting article about airlines, independent safety inspectors ans Russia

 

This might be a stupid question, but hear me out.
I regularly document steps to install various software for myself on my wiki
More recently, I managed to use different custom text in the source markdown to prepend # and $ automatically, so commands can be copied more easily while still clarifying if it should be run as a normal user or as root.

Run command as user

$ some cool command

Run command as root/superuser with sudo

# some dangerous command

I usually remove and sudo and use the # prefix. However, in some cases, the sudo actually does something different that needs to be highlighted. For example, I might use it to execute a command as the user www-data

sudo -u www-data cp /var/www/html/html1 /var/www/html/html2

I often use $ as a prefix, but # would also make sense.
How would you prefix that line?

 

If I report something on a remote community, where does the report go?

I know that as an instance admin, I'm getting a report. But do the moderators of the community and the server admins it is on also receive a report?
