@kaniini I'm not entirely sure what you mean but patches to make MFC FE better are always welcome I think -

@kaniini @dansup thank you for voicing your support. Lain's friend worked hard on that design. -

@kaniini I'm not sure. There's like 2 very modern designs being done by different teams and they'll both drop when they're ready. -

@dansup @kaniini take off, hoser !!! -

@kaniini consistent icons instead of just text links? Madness !! -

@kaniini we've basically given up on upstreaming things that aren't performance related because it turns into a design bikeshed -

@kaniini I don't know really. It's like -- why don't we have consistent icons on mobile and desktop?? -

@kaniini I can give you a patch. I believe it was rejected, but it's in our branch. -

@kaniini just do the CSS blur. It's better than the cover image. -

@hirojin @dvl with a passphrase of course, but that's what gets tricky.
Every physical box should be fully encrypted. and you should NEVER remotely reboot a server without known working console/serial console/ipmi/whatever access.
Instead of storing the crypto passwords write a tool for your team that auto-generates the FDE passphrase based on system hostname and the service tag and some salt that only your team members know. This way it should be easy to write the script from memory if you lost access to it.
$ /tmp/fdepass.sh -h bikeshed.party
Generating password for bikeshed.party
Please enter the service tag: abc123

This is what i did @ a previous job but i don't know if the team kept up with it. Made it super easy to have FDE passphrases without a password manager that can be compromised. It requires an awful lot of information that an attacker would need to know to decrypt the drive AND they'd need physical access to the server anyway.
If somehow one drive was brute forced it doesn't let them decrypt any drives from your other servers.
Remember, you don't need to encrypt the VMs or containers themselves, just the physical hardware they're running on -- whether that be the server itself or the SAN/NAS where the data storage lies. -

@freakazoid not even just that -- the hostile takeover of the fediverse under the Mastodon branding damages the reason for the fediverse to exist. We're still young here, so it's more like when Yahoo ran the world for a while than when GMail ate everyone's lunch. -

People have warned against a big player setting up shop in the Fediverse and taking over, but it's already happened. That's what mastodon.social is. The fact that it's not yet owned by a surveillance capitalist company is irrelevant. Github wasn't either. They're just gonna buy Eugen.

@dvl also recommend it on every server. Never worry about what happens with your company's data when you RMA a disk. Also saves your butt when reusing drives that were improperly wiped and might have traces of an old ZFS label with the zpool name "zroot" or "tank".... fixing that can lead to dangerous mistakes. -

Full disk encryption gives peace of mind if your computer goes missing and reduces anxiety about throwing out old hard drives or computers.

In an alternate universe bluetooth was never invented and everyone uses wireless firewire
the decision to keep the 40W power delivery part using beamforming was questionable and led to endless puns on the name

@kaniini O Caml! My Caml!
I didn't know Walt Whitman was a computer scientist
