Day 1: Ten Days, Ten Films.
I didn't put a hashtag on my first film. So, here it is again!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess.
NO SPOILERS! If you recognise a film, don’t say what it is! Say something hinting that you know.

Day 9: Ten Days, Ten Films.
This is a lot of fun! So long as I don’t make this too hard or too easy!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess. You can also nominate others to do the same. That way more people are in on the game! (or not–your choice 😀 )
But remember: NO SPOILERS! If you recognise a film, don’t say what it is! Say something that indicates you know, but allows others to guess as well. Your messages then become helpful hints!
I rewatched this one the other day, and was pleased after all these years that it was still quite good!

What folders would that be?
What I have seen so far that would be:
/storage
/view/smarty3
and
/config
but only while installing local.config.php
Something I don't understand is why I do have a few folders in:
/view/smarty/compiled
that belong to the user root.
How is that possible?
How can friendica create folders as and/or for root?
What should I expect to happen if I just delete those folders, or even delete the complete /compiled folder. I guess friendica would start from there to create the folder compiled and subfolders as needed?
I ask because there are those subdirectories belonging strangely to root and one of my issues is that when I switch to the theme FRIO I have no access anymore to the settings of that respective profile, not even to change back to VIER. That renders that profile nearly useless and I'm trying to get around that problem.
@utopiArte That's a good list of exceptions.
Regarding the root-owned folders, it would prevent www-data from reading the cached template files and subsequently display the pages that uses the specific templates in this folder.
You should restore recursive www-data ownership to this or these folders. Please let me know if you need an example of a command line to do so.
I guess to just change all the folders/subfolders and files regardless of their ownership that would be:
rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/view/smarty3/# chown -R www-data:www-data compiled
result:
What I don't get is where these ownership settings came from.
They were not even from a specific day or had anything specific in common:
tupambae.org/display/0ac89072-…
@utopiArte @Hypolite Petovan this is most likely just some goof while doing something minor that you wouldn't have even connected to this at the time.
No amount of proficiency and watchfulness eliminates user error, it just becomes increasingly obscure.
Even tho there have been some trouble while setting up this installation what calls my attention ist that those folders had kinda random different dates of creation:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 12 04:35 00
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 16 02:10 30
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 17 19:35 3e
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 11 01:57 49
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 16 22:25 4e
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 11 01:55 59
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 14 11:10 90
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 21 22:50 a3
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 23 00:45 a4
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 23 19:15 ae
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 23 20:35 b4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 16 00:53 bf
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 14 11:10 e2
That's what astonishes me.
My access is only via console SSH to the VPS and that shouldn't create any kind of cross implications with the firefox webbrowser that accesses the friendica installation.
Also apparently the installation itself was created the 8th of November, the first folder apparently the 11th of November so there was no relation to that.
If friendica is able to create a folder and files as root that's kinda scary isn't it?
@utopiArte @Hypolite Petovan it's not able to, and if it was it would be considered a massive linux security bug rather than a friendica bug.
SSH and VPS mean nothing for this situation, you likely just ran something with sudo at some point.
> That's a good list of exceptions.
In theory I could there for run the following commands to set all folders except /storage and /view/smarty3 to root:
set ownership of everything recursively to root:
rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/# chown -R root:root html
set ownership of storage and smarty3 recursively to www-data:
rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/# chown -R www-data:www-data storage
rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/view/# chown -R www-data:www-data smarty3
The change of ownership wouldn't affect the specific read/write permissions of files and folders and www-data would have only access to the folders needed.
right?
I ended up doing the following:
First I created a backup folder of the existing html folder and subdirectories:
root@VPShosting:/var/www# cp -r html html_01.bak
By default that created a copy with all files and folders owned by root.
Than I changed the ownership of storage and smarty3 to www-data:
root@VPShosting:/var/www/html_01.bak# chown -R www-data:www-data storage
root@VPShosting:/var/www/html_01.bak/view# chown -R www-data:www-data smarty3
Once everything looked "fine" I moved the existing html folder to a new name.
root@VPShosting:/var/www# mv html html_www-data_old
By moving [mv] instead of copying [cp] the ownership of files and folders aren't affected. Than I moved the copy with the new ownership settings into place:
root@VPShosting:/var/www# mv html_01.bak html
Well see how this setup behaves.
In any case I'll have the old version at hand to change to it if necessary.
@utopiArte security implications are minor, mostly because they can only edit the thing they've already hacked into.
But if that's a particular concern, you should be able to make the entire directory read-only as I don't believe friendica edits any of those files after initial setup (since all the edits are in database, or a separate storage folder if you're using the folder storage backend)
The writable in your quoted instructions is for the setup process while logged in under that user, so of course it'll need write to be able to download files and install them in the webserver directory. But there's no indication that it's needing write past that.

A few folks have asked for details on my last post & I realize many may not know I am finishing a Ph.D. related to how Congress makes science-related policy decisions. sheril.substack.com/p/a-disser…
Nearly 20 years ago I worked in the Senate & now my research considers where staffers go for #science information & who they trust. The literature largely focuses on politicians, but staffers are responsible for policies w/o electoral accountability. I'll share more once it's published. #politics
A Dissertation on Democracy
Consider this the Cliffs NotesSheril Kirshenbaum (Unelected Representative)
I just tried to display /.well-known/host-meta as described in:
/help/Install wrote:
Verify the "host-meta" page is working
Friendica should respond automatically to important addresses under the /.well-known/ rewrite path. One critical URL would look like, for example: example.com/.well-known/host-m…
It must be visible to the public and must respond with an XML file that is automatically customized to your site.
Instead of displaying the xml file my browser (firefox) just downloaded it.
I'm used to get this page displayed.
Any idea what this could be?
The page /.well-known/ itself is "not found".
/.well-known/ path is a virtual path and as such we only support specific endpoints like /.well-known/host-meta, /.well-known/nodeinfo and /.well-known/webfinger to name a few.
"Most politicians are honest about not knowing enough science & rely on experts." [Source: nature.com/articles/d41586-023…]
As someone writing a dissertation on where policymakers seek out information related to #science policy, I wholeheartedly disagree.
Scientists & other experts are not a top source for information. They're not even a 2nd or 3rd source. #politics
