  • Is Hugo good for, say, a portfolio website? I know its good for blogging, but I’ve been thinking about a simple portfolio website hosted on Gitlab pages (I wish I could selfhost, but I can’t due to a lack of hardware and restrictions from my student accommodation and their network policy), and was wondering if Hugo would be a good choice for a portfolio website, maybe just having one page per project or something like that?




  • Github-associated emails

    I hope this gets taken seriously by CISA and they are ntact Microsoft and the email providers to see what sort of information can be found out about these “individuals”. I’m usually against tracking but in this case, it can help us understand more about the malicious actors, like, are their IPs coming from a certain state, or are they all isong a VPN, and if so, which one? And then, if applicable, getting in touch with the VPN provider and getting as much data as possible.

    How about using that data to aid in investigations (as it jas beem done mamy times before)? I mean, imagine this turns out to be a state actor! We need to know what’s happening. We need to know if these are connected. And this information can help predict their next move.

    To quote Gandalf from the LOTR films (not sure if that quote is in the books):

    “Send word to all our allies… The enemy’s moving against us. We need to know where he will strike”.

    Also, first they tried to strike Linux systems, then they tried to strike the Web. What’s next? If anyone has any ideas, feel free to share them here, as we can get an idea of what projects need to be more vigilant.


  • I agree that standardisation is good, but sudo is already a standard. If anything, I think this might, once again, split things further by creating another competing standard. It’s like that XKCD. But to be honest, I’m not an admin or enterprise customer yet, so I don’t know if this might not be an improvement. On an individual level, I’d be okay with run0 becoming a standard if it’s good enough, as long as we get a sudoedit or “sudo -e” replacement too, as I only discovered it about 2 months ago, but I already use it a lot.



  • I really like the idea of user-friendly selfhosting (which is essentially what this company is offering, I mean hell, I’ve had similar business ideas floating around in my head too) BUT any company that has:

    1. an in-the-know marketing team

    2. Any employees that are somewhat technical enough (which should be guaranteed for a company with this sort of product

    3. NOT a scam

    Would know what a HUGE risk reputation-wise it is to showcase crypto-related selfhosting on the FRONT page. It’s like a “build-a-red-flag” or “destroy-our-reputation” speedrun. Even IF you want to offer this, anyone in-the-know with at least 3 braincells would bury this deep in the page and make it difficult to find (if they were well-intentioned in the first place) because at this point anything crypto, especially being the main offering, is a huge red flag.

    If instead, they offered a nextcloud instance, for example, or Pihole as an adblocker, or some other good and common services, maybe a selfhosted VPN (or maybe not, because of the stupid and misleading ads of VPN companies), they would be seen as 100% more legit.

    Edit: Just checked their marketplace and they have:

    Jellyfin

    Vaultwarden

    FreeGPT-2

    Gitea

    Matrix

    Nextcloud

    Their own service for TOR pages

    Ghost (a blogging platform)

    SearxNG (a search engine)

    I mean, add Wordpress, Pihole and some other friendly services, and advertise THOSE!!! Build your own Google (SearxNG)! Build your own MS Office online and OneDrive (Nextcloud)! Build your own Github (Gitea)! Build your own Discord (Matrix)! Build your own password manager (Vaultwarden)! Build your own Netflix (Jellyfin)!
