… maar laten we lekker blijven doorgaan met alles naar publieke clouds te verhuizen als Nederlands Overheid: https://nos.nl/l/2615391

Almost two years ago I presented on the challenges that come with self hosting things for friends and family when you're not available anymore.

Today at RIPE92 (@ripencc@mastodon.social) Robert Kisteleki presented an initative to gather information, best practices, etc on this topic.

You can find his presentation here: https://ripe92.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/sessions/103/7PEF7V/#robert-kisteleki.

Video of my presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Ocy1AyLpg, slides: https://nlnog.net/events/past-events/nlnog-day-2024/presentations/NLNOG2024-05-Teun_Vink_-Your_Digital_Legacy.pdf.

Please join this initiative so we can create a set of best practises!

RE: @bert_hubert@mastodon.nl

Fijn dat je dit gemaakt hebt en de moeite doet dit te hosten, maar het blijft toch bizar dat we voor zulke zaken afhankelijk zijn van een initiatief van één persoon. Dit zou toch beter moeten kunnen… zulke diensten hoort een overheid gewoon voor haar burgers te regelen.

Random annoyance of the day: Wireshark on MacOS doesn't allow you to open multiple windows with pcaps at the same time, and won't allow you start another instance by default.

Workaround: `open -n /Applications/Wireshark.app` allows you to start more than one instance.

@benjojo@benjojo.co.uk @fionafokus@mystical.garden you don’t want to know how many people reported to us that http://ftp.bit.nl is an open FTP server. The warning message there doesn’t help, and when you point it out they still ask for a reward for their ‘hard work’… We also see the automated mails which ignore everything you put in your security.txt and just ask if you have a reward program. No actual report is ever submitted by them though.

@guenther@chaos.social yes it probably would 🙂

@Foxboron@chaos.social you can for sure, but I’m not saying you *should* 😉

lifehack: use IPv6 addresses as passwords: they have letters, numbers, special characters, can contain caps, and are long enough.

If you accidentally paste it somewhere noone will suspect a thing.

Bonushack: you can put a label in DNS as a password reminder!

@bert_hubert@fosstodon.org https://ssoready.com/blog/engineering/truths-programmers-timezones/ has a nice overview of some other weird things with timezones. It's bad...
