Nextcloud shouldn’t be seeing your MAC address. However, my guess is that Nextcloud has been configured to invalidate the session if the client IP changes, and randomizing the MAC address is one way that can happen.

Who’s on first joke names can’t be good for SEO.

An immutable distro… like NixOS? Or do you mean your root filesystem is immutable? NixOS can do that too. You could normally mount your nix store as readonly and remount rw during updates if you really care about filesystem immutability, or use some snapshot system if you’re paranoid about adding new files to the store corrupting other files already in the store during an update.

The nixpkgs VM creation module, which I’ve never seen documentation for, has a mode where it generates a kernel, initrd, kernel command line, and erofs image containing a prepopulated /nix directory and that’s enough to boot the VM.

Ansible is disappointing as an IAC tool. It’s good for doing things, but it’s not good for converging systems to a desired state. Too often you end up with playbooks that are not idempotent or rely on something that was done during a previous execution of the playbook or just don’t do something that was done by a previous version, and then unless you are constantly recreating your systems you won’t notice until it’s a problem and you can’t get your system back.

You can host a Proton mail bridge to use different apps running on different machines, including phones.

Self hosting e-mail, particularly SMTP, will likely require a static IP from a reputable provider. Mail servers may reject incoming mail based on the reputation of the sending server. You can avoid this by relaying through another SMTP server and configuring your DNS rules to allow that server to send mail on your behalf, but that’s not really self hosting anymore.

The article suggests the opposite: population decline in rural areas allows the bears to spread out and get closer to populated areas.

You can use OpenEBS to provision and manage LVM volumes. Host path requires you to manually manage the host paths.

That sounds like build automation. You can use some Git forge software.

America is already working on solving that permafrost problem.

Some attackers check services that have already cataloged the services you are running, even on uncommon ports. You won’t hear from them unless you are running a potentially vulnerable service.

Isn’t this Putin’s Ukraine story?

If he had declared war on the world, which wouldn’t be so out of character for him after being insulted by an escalator, you wouldn’t need to go to wsws to read about it.

He must have meant “piece of Ukraine.” The aggressors just want piece.

Nix isn’t just for reproduction. It has immutability so if you break your system configuration you can revert to a previous profile, and the way installations are managed allows you to install software that uses incompatible versions of the same dependencies at the same time.

Is it trolling if Trump believes it’s because of the great job he did?

Giving a container access to the docker socket allows container escapes, but if you’re doing it on purpose with a service designed for that purpose there is no problem. Either you trust Watchtower to manage the other containers on your system or you don’t. Whether it’s managing the containers through a mounted docker socket or with direct socket access doesn’t make a difference in security.

I don’t know if anybody seriously uses Watchtower, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I know that companies use tools like Argo CD, which has a larger attack surface and a similar level of system access via its Kubernetes service user.

Mounting the docker socket into Watchtower is fine from a security perspective, but automatic updates can definitely cause problems. I used to use Rennovate and it would open a pull request to update the version.

Git does have a server component. When git connects to an ssh remote it executes an ssh command that needs to be present.

You’re missing GitLab. I’d be looking at GitLab or Forgejo.

But you might not need this. When you access a private Git repository, you’re normally connecting over SSH and authenticating using SSH keys. By default, if you have Git installed on a server you can SSH to and you have a Git repository on that server in a location you can access, you can use that server as a Git remote. You only really want one these services if you want the CI pipelines or collaboration tools.

The issue says at the bottom that SealedSecrets is unaffected.
