Back in my days I was also disappointed that schools weren't using Linux. So I totally agree with you.
Good. They should.
Linux was always ready for the education sector. I think already for 10 years now.
A lot*?
I like it alot.
They asked AI to improve the design. 😬
ow.. now the idea is to unzip it right?
nice idea:
undefined
if (ipIsBlackListed() || isMalicious()) { header("Content-Encoding: deflate, gzip"); header("Content-Length: "+ filesize(ZIP_BOMB_FILE_10G)); // 10 MB readfile(ZIP_BOMB_FILE_10G); exit; }
Looks fine to me. Only 1 CPU core I think was 100%.
undefined
10+0 records in 10+0 records out 10737418240 bytes (11 GB, 10 GiB) copied, 28,0695 s, 383 MB/s
let me try..
It was just a joke, because of his avatar.
You're even a verified user. So you must be right. 😝
Everybody is using ai of course.

Look. I use both nvidia and amd video cards for 20 plus years.
The experience under Linux using amd in factually better than Nvidia. Mainly because AMD open source their drivers and are part of the kernel.
You can't deny this fact. The only down side of open source in this particular case is the stupid HDMI Forum people, who do not allow us to have the latest hdmi implementation for 4k 120hz in an open source driver. Which is part of the license, where consumers are paying for. So that is ridiculous from the hdmi forum.
Anyhow, the user is free to choose whatever video card they wish to use. Hack try even the latest Intel Gpus. But also with Intel the firmware update are horrible outdated and they do not maintain they sht
lol? This is the best advice I can give people.. What is wrong with you?
On your next pc go with an amd gpu. Just saying.
Currently linux mint offers an easy way to install Nvidia drivers. Avoid compiling the drivers from source.
Hi. A plugin (or setting) might not be needed. We already provide this feature. Just press the link next to it with the URL with the ↗ open new window icon. See attachment.
Today we deliver a well thought out Docker setup, which I think is the easiest way to setup your own Mbin instance, see: https://docs.joinmbin.org/admin/installation/docker

Mbin v1.8.2 released
Mbin version 1.8.2 has been released, see: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.8.2
Aside from several bug fixes, the main take away is that we overhaul the Docker setup. From today onwards we now also recommend the new Docker setup for the users who like to use Docker instead of bare metal/VM.
Existing Docker users need to pay extra attention, since there is quite some migration involved. That being said, the new Docker setup is much more solid and hopefully future proof.
Of course we also updated our Docker installation documentation guide accordingly: https://docs.joinmbin.org/admin/installation/docker
Yes eventually they will. Might be still 5 years away tho
Mbin v1.8.1 released
I know, it has been a while :D. However, we are happy to release v1.8.1!
Mainly a lot of bug fixes / improvements. Composer package dependency updates. Lot of documentation and language improvements (we also got Catalan now fully translated, thanks!). Feel free to upgrade to PHP v8.4 as well.
A noticeable fronted difference to point out is that we now put thumbnails in a lightbox by default. Although this can be changed by the end-user at: ⚙ Settings -> Under "Threads" section -> "Thread thumbnails opens full screen" option.
See full release notes: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.8.1
Mbin v1.8.0 released
Today we released Mbin v1.8.0! It has been already 1 month since we released v1.7.4.
This is the v1.8.0 release of Mbin and it is a feature packed one like always ;).
It brings an extensive bookmarking system, signup request support, signup notifications, extended markdown rendering, custom notification settings to set magazines, users, threads and microblogs to default, loud or muted, setting a default sort for the front page and comment lists, a new image delete command for admins and documentation changes.
You also still might want to double check if you are using the latest Nginx configs (v1.8.0 has now additional regex improvements).
I want to thank all the contributors! We can't do it without you all!
Mbin takes a lot of time to develop, maintain and improve. Created as a successor of /kbin, but still going strong ever since. I
Mbin release v1.7.4
Mbin released a new version: Mbin v1.7.4.
This is the v1.7.4 release of Mbin and it brings a lot of documentation updates and bug fixes (especially in the backend): documentation for the Nginx setup has been altered a lot (allowing you to rate limit on Nginx level), PostgreSQL has also seen a few edits, most Symfony commands are now documented, we improved the federation backend, we "revive" dead instances when we get activities from them, the search experience is now improved when searching for URLs, we now support strike through HTML to markdown and a lot more.
The most important thing for developers is that the automated tests are now working and required for PRs to be merged.
Again, see full release note at: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.7.4
Thank you!
v1.7.2 Mbin release
We are excited to announce the release of Mbin v1.7.2! This version is packed with important bug fixes and performance improvements, focused on bug fixes rather than new features.
The main improvements are:

. Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
By Jeremy Hsu on September 24, 2024
Popular smart TV models made by Samsung and LG can take multiple snapshots of what you are watching every second – even when they are being used as external displays for your laptop or video game console.
Smart TV manufacturers use these frequent screenshots, as well as audio recordings, in their automatic content recognition systems, which track viewing habits in order to target people with specific advertising. But researchers showed this tracking by some of the world’s most popular smart TV brands – Samsung TVs can take screenshots every 500 milliseconds and LG TVs every 10 milliseconds – can occur when people least expect it.
“When a user connects their laptop via HDMI just to browse stuff on their laptop on a bigger screen by using the TV as a ‘dumb’ display, they are unsuspecting of their activity being screenshotted,” says Yash Vekaria at the University of California, Davis. Samsung and LG did not respond to a request for comm
Ipset Hash is full, cannot add more elements
My ipset hash is full!? I'm using Ubuntu Server and I created a separate fail2ban jail that uses "iptables-ipset-proto6-allports" as their ban action (thus using ipset instead of iptables).
However, today I seem to hit the limit: stderr: 'ipset v7.15: Hash is full, cannot add more elements'
.
This can be confirmed by running the ipset -t list command:
sh
Name: f2b-manual Type: hash:ip Revision: 5 Header: family inet hashsize 32768 maxelem 65536 timeout 0 bucketsize 12 initval 0xbc28aef1 Size in memory: 2605680 References: 1 Number of entries: 65571
Where the 65571 entries exceeds the maxelem (65536). So what now?? Could I create a banlist in a txt file or something? I just want to ban some large tech corps: https://gitlab.melroy.org/-/snippets/619
Upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04
Today I'm planning to upgrade the server from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 (new LTS release).
I already proposed it once after reading: https://ostechnix.com/ubuntu-24-04-1-lts-release-delayed/...
Hopefully I will not hit any of these RabbitMQ bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-server/+bug/2074309
Mastodon poll is a tie: https://mastodon.melroy.org/@melroy/113135476244781426
So, let's go! What can go wrong??

Mbin release v1.7.1
Today we are releasing Mbin v1.7.1. Upgrade your Mbin server now to the latest release: 1.7.1.
This version includes tons of fixes (too many to mention here, look at "What's Changed") and introduces also new features like: trusted proxy configuration (see also docs), activate accounts manually using the admin panel, show an error when the image is too large to upload (look at the latest .env template file), improved API end-points (isAdmin, isGlobalModerator is part of the user API, fixed AP context and more) as well as many documentation improvements.
Note: Due to a dead-lock issue in 1.7.0, which is now fixed in 1.7.1, we strongly recommend upgrading your Mbin server as soon as possible.
If you want to host your own Mbin

Today I removed Firefox (sad day)
Today I fully removed Firefox as my main browser. It's banned from all my devices from now onwards. I used Firefox as my only browser since I was 10 years old. Which is 24 years now (24 years!). I loved
Firefox trying to be a good alternative to Chrome, promoting open-source and showing the world that privacy does matter. Sadly not anymore, recently after Mozilla hostile CEO takeover and moving the company forward to an advertisement company. Neglecting privacy. And fully want the other way around, tracking user data sending back to Mozilla. And at the same time Mozilla has also became an ads company just like Google, so there is no difference anymore really. And it only goes down-hill from here.
Furthermore, Mozilla is spending more money in AI companies then in the product Firefox itself. So..
Luckily, there are plenty great Firefox forks! Look into some of them yourself and really pick an alternative rather sooner than later:

Sorry for the late post.
This is the 1.6.0 release of Mbin. It brings several changes and improvements including, but not limited to, a new UI filter for sorting threads and microblog posts, a new hashtag system, Microsoft Azure and SimpleLogin SSO additions, private instance mode, framework upgrade to Symfony 7.0, outgoing federation of delete actions, several backend improvements to address federation stability and compatibility, UI fixes and route changes, etc.
We are already preparing for release 1.7.0, which is coming along very nicely. See you soon with v1.7.0.
Mbin 1.5.1
Mbin patch release 1.5.1 is out. Which is an important update for server admins to upgrade as soon as possible in order to fix sending emails (both during registration form as well as contact form). This patch release was created to fix those email issues.
More info: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.5.1
Mbin v1.5.0
Mbin release version 1.5.0 is out today.

User notice: https://gehirneimer.de/m/mbinReleases/t/192724
Mbin v1.4.1 released
After 1.4.0 release we found some minor issues, it's wise to update your instance to the latest 1.4.1 patch release if you didn't had already.
More info at: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.4.1
If you didn't follow the 1.4.0 release notes yet, then BE SURE TO carefully follow the those upgrade instructions as well: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.4.0. From 1.4.0 we changed how the transport messenger (AMQ) is working on bare metal instances.
We are planning soon for a new minor release (v1.5.0). Thanks for using Mbin!
Personally, I'm also planning to setup mbin.melroy.org which will replace this instance. However, ActivityPub will see that new domain as a totally new instance. Migration is not straightforward too bad.
Mbin v1.3.0 release
We released version 1.3.0 of Mbin today.
More info: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/releases/tag/v1.3.0
We also publish tagged Docker image(s): https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pkgs/container/mbin
I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. Google.
