  • Presuming you have not limited edge port 22 to one or two IPS and that you are not translating a high port to 22 internal, the danger is that you are allowing the entire internet to hammer away at your ssh. If you have this described setup, you will most definitely see the evidence of attempts to break in in your SSH endpoint and firewall logs.

    Zero days for SSH do exist, so it’s just a matter of time before you’re compromised if you leave this open.




  • I would say they are copying hyper-localized newspaper classifieds, including the hyper-localized aspect, which caused newspaper classifieds to stop being used by the overwhelming majority of people when alternatives like Craigslist, eBay, and even Facebook market came about.

    Good reply, I was coming to that conclusion based on the same response from them on my example of buying from another area. It is very odd that anyone would place such limits on functionality on an internet-bound platform.

    I’m having trouble understanding if this person is representative of flohmarkt or not, but either way, I don’t think they understand any of our questions or arguments.




  • They are local listings for buying used stuff that that you might have not even have known you want before browsing the listing.

    That is not how I nor anyone I know uses our listings on Kijiji. I go to look for specific things i don’t want to buy new. I do not browse used stuff for sale. I’ve personally bought motorbikes 600km away because the search area has to be bigger for more niche items. I also set up the sale of a car to a guy 1800km away via kijiji.

    I couldn’t do either of these using flohmarkt, so it isn’t really useful to me, federated or not.








    1. You might want to set an appropriate bitrate and video quality for transcoding for these users that works acceptably for their latency and bandwidth.
    2. The reason netflix, prime, Disney+, etc work as well as they do is because they have CDN peering, so your version of Game of Thrones comes from somewhere much closer to you in a network sense. You can change your tailscale relay, or you can lock down jellyfin to their ip and specific port and skip the tailscale (I don’t recommend it unless you know what you’re doing) and let routing tables help with latency.


  • The developer of bcachefs, Kent Overstreet, has repeatedly failed to abide by the expectations of kernel release schedules, particularly the rc (release candidate) stage, which is supposed to freeze new features until next release.

    Kent has open-air arguments with Linus Torvalds about not being able to develop the way he wants to, Linus Torvalds does not like wasting time discussing it with Kent.

    IMO, Kent created this situation himself. He’ll be happier developing outside upstream anyway.

    It should be noted that while some folks have commented that bcachefs was not ready for upstream, several kernel devs have a lot of respect for the technical quality of Kent’s work, so I think the argument of whether bcachefs is good or not good is separate from Kent’s behaviour as a kernel contributor.
