Just thought I'd share an idea I had regarding botnets with my fellow sysadmins.

If you have fail2ban, edit the action files the reject rules (actually copy the conf to a .local file by the same name and edit it, that way it won't be overwritten in an update), then change REJECT ... to DROP. This way when your site is attacked by a botnet, instead of getting an instant REJECT, the bot hangs waiting for a TCP ACK or NAK until it times out, then retries several times before moving on. If enough of us did this we'd tie them up. Same for firewall rules.

Rich people not taking "personal responsibility" - rich people gamble on Intel stock prices, which then drop 16% because the Intel people reveal technology development is fucking hard work that sometimes doesn't go as expect - and the rich people get pissy, because their portfolios lose value, so they file a fucking lawsuit against Intel.

Let me repeat that: Rich people bought Intel stock, because they thought they could get richer without working for it. Intel stock dropped. Rich people got pissy and blamed Intel for their rich people problems. Instead of, you know, accepting it was their own fucking fault - their own damn responsibility for buying Intel stock in the first place.

Is there a way to...


I just recently installed a new friendica node, friendica.eskimo.com.

There are some things I would like to be able to do, for example, on Farcebook, if I cut an image from one place, I can post it into the post box and it automatically uploads, I don't have to upload from a file, I can cut-n-paste.

Second, if I post an URL of a video, it provides a video preview in the post box or of an image, then it posts the image there, and if I put a web URL with an image, it will put the image, the URL, and some text.

Third, Farcebook has a "translate" link on each post and while imperfect, it generally makes a conversation with someone that speaks an entirely different language very easy.

I'm trying to get away from Farcebook because I don't like their censorship policies, but I've yet to find open source social media with the functionality.

@Godcast @John Ervin I'd hazard WAY more than 100%. With VAERS, only deaths that occurred after two weeks are reported because you're not considered fully vaccinated until after the second dose. The Medicare system has repor ted 48,000 and that's just among old folk or people on welfare since nobody else is on Medicare. I'd hazard the numbers are more like several hundred thousand deaths. And those are just the ones that occur in the short term. We also know these vaccines suppress CD4 and CD8 cells, killer T-cells responsible for cancer eradication, and I heard one OBGYN say the rates of endometrial cancer in his practice have shot up 20x since the VAX. It's a really bad product, but always one has to way risk verses benefit, and early on when the predominant strain of Covid was one they were actually effective against maybe it was worth it, but they don't work for shit against Delta and they don't work for more than 2-3 months, so the only benefits I can see are the profits of Big Pharma and the kick-backs the politicians are getting.
