Are you going fangless?

I would definitely go fangless. I have been bitten enough times. A bite might also transfer viruses. Nowadays I defang all my computers.

But then why bother to package the game for the distro in the first place?

Cool, ich drängen mich nächstes Mal an der Kasse vor dich. Das ist nicht illegal, dann darfst du das auch nicht scheiße finden.

Es geht nicht nur um die strafrechtliche Beurteilung. Es gibt genug Dinge, die legal sind und die man dennoch verwerflich finden kann (Steuerschlupflöcher ausnutzen oder ein Arschloch sein beispielsweise). Und da finde ich doch ist das, was über Lindemann bekannt ist, eine andere Hausnummer als bei Kachelmann. Kachelmann hatte die ein oder andere Affäre, das ist nicht toll, aber alle Frauen habe wohl vollkommen einvernehmlich mit ihm verkehrt. Lindemann hingegen hat sich ein ganzes System aufgebaut, in dem ihm junge Frauen zum Sex zugeführt wurden. Das Einvernehmen ist doch etwas in Frage gestellt, wenn viele dieser Frauen unter Alkoholeinfluss stehen. Es mag nicht strafrechtlich die Hürde erreicht haben, aber ein Muster ist da doch erkennbar. Komisch, dass er offenbar weniger Interesse an reiferen, nüchternen Frauen zu haben scheint.

Discord is not very privacy-oriented. We‘re in a privacy-oriented community here, so Discord should raise an eyebrow, not Signal, which is famously privacy-oriented.

Ich habe Freunde, die im Einzelhandel arbeiten. Ich gönne denen sehr, dass sie wenigstens einen festen Tag in der Woche auf jeden Fall planbar und regelmäßig frei haben.

Wer es nicht schafft seine Einkäufe von Montag bis Samstag zu erledigen, hat die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren.

There‘s no reason not to use both. For some things a GUI file manager is more convenient.

If in fact being listed in credits is that important, why wasn’t it in their contract?

Maybe because of the usual power imbalance between employer and employee? If there are enough other applicants, employers can dictate the terms. It‘s a bit like saying to a coal miner: “Oh, if not dying from black lung disease is sooo important to you, why wasn‘t that in your contract?”

“I see a lot of white knighting”

I hate this term. If you call people who care about injustices “white knights”, what do you call the people who go out of their way to defend injustices and take the side of the more powerful parties?

32 GB should be plenty of RAM for this scenario.

Do you know what takes up the space? Something like gdu or ncdu will help you analyze the problem.

Great, I accidentally deleted my original comment because the Lemmy web interface doesn’t ask for confirmation when you click the delete button. And the buttons are so small on mobile that it‘s really easy to click the wrong button.

If you want to use these features for security, access them manually. But, OP said they are kind of a noob. Telling them to just use containers is dangerous and leads to false assumptions.

You are absolutely correct. I should have stated explicitly that I didn’t mean docker and/or using pre-built container images. I was talking about something like systemd-nspawn. And you are right that I should not have brought this up in this context. I will edit my original comment.

So, putting a process in its own network, file-system, user etc. namespace does not increase security in your opinion?

I see. That‘s a valid use case. Although, in the spirit of self-hosting, I personally would either get another ISP or run a reverse proxy on a cheap VPS and connect the homeserver to that via Wireguard.

Why would anyone DDOS a random home server? I don‘t think OP has to worry about that.

Could you please be more specific what exactly Crowdsec brings to the table? In which way does it “secure the network”?

Where was that? At least the part where they force you to buy the book from their website or the college store would be illegal in the EU. (I am not a lawyer.)

When I looked around for CalDAV solutions the last time Nextcloud was the only one that allowed me to share calendars with my SO. Nextcloud isn‘t very taxing on my system because it doesn‘t do anything most of the time.

Do you know about problems reaching the big player mailservers?

Honestly, I don‘t know. I have never had a confirmed case of an email being rejected or classified as spam. There were some cases of not getting an answer to an email. But that could also be explained by shitty customer service.

It is tricky to setup everything correctly if you are trying to do it all on your own but SNM holds your hand for setting up DKIM, SPF and DMARC. That‘s where some people may have problems. Also, forget about setting up a mail server at home with any IP address you get from your internet provider.
