Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

I remember ZoneMinder.
A full-featured, open source, state-of-the-art video surveillance software system.
Is this still a thing nowadays?
GoToSocial is awesome. Some features are still missing, but the server is in active development.
As front-end I use Elk. It’s selfhostable as well as publicly usable at https://elk.zone. It’s labeled as alpha software but runs absolutely well.
It’s absurdly complex and annoying and lacks proper documentation.
There currently is no sane way to deploy it via docker since it needs half a dozen of different containers and volumes and networks to barely work at all - overwriting/ruining your already existing setup while doing so.
The cleanest would likely be setting up a VM where you set up docker in and let Lemmy do whatever it wants.
You mean, using things from an operating system outside said operating system is forbidden?
Oh man!
The old age of the Docker image is a bit of a red flag to me.
I settled with SWS since the Docker image and a locally installable version are actively maintained by the creator. It just serves static files and optionally directory listing as JSON (which comes in quite handy).
Big international corporate, IT security hired by personal connections instead of skill, IT security never worked in daily business.
The fun thing is, that they refer to NIST guidelines. Which is even funnier because NIST says 12 digits are enough, user-generated 8 digits are fine, no complexity rules, and password changes only “when necessary” (i.e. security breaches).
I’ve seen plenty of solutions. Sticky notes, a simple text file. External tools like barcode scanners. Using all letters and just 1!
at the end (not that this is less secure on technical level than a completely random string, but it’s easier to bruteforce - theoretically), etc. Some people use KeePass (with a stupid 5 letter password).
They are so heavy on security I have a Citrix environment that takes me 3 logins
My daily routine:
They also have plans to make MFA mandatory for laptop login, too.
Passwords need to be at least 15 characters long for laptops and 30 for servers and 10 for the business-specific application. All need to have uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters and need to be changed every 60 days (for the server login) and cannot be the last 30 passwords.
If a function takes all types of variables it’s your own fault!
