fail2ban has one core maintainer github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban and he has only 3 Github sponsors github.com/sebres
WTF
I can't even comprehend how many servers are protected by fail2ban, how many compromises are avoided, how many people who run hobby things all the way up to major sites that get to sleep soundly every night... because of this single project.

Google y Microsoft disparan sus emisiones contaminantes por la inteligencia artificial
El consumo eléctrico y la huella de carbono de los centros de datos que requiere esta tecnología multiplica un 66% las emisiones de Google desde 2020 y un 30% las de Microsoft
El mundo ha sido tomado por la fiebre de la IA, apenas de habla de otra cosa. Nos prometen maravillas (tres o cuatro ricachones a los que nadie ha elegido) y que cambiará nuestras vidas, pero ¿a mejor? He ahí un debate que deberíamos promover (pero ¿tenemos tiempo siquiera para debatir?).
Suponiendo que sí, habría que ponerlo en cuarentena, si dicha «mejoría» supone aumentar la presión extractiva sobre los recursos del planeta, ya bien diezmados.
Lo de ser cautelosos, ya tal.
Newbie questions
Hi !Friendica Support,
I'm not finding much documentation about following and connecting.
Is this how it works:
If the only relationship between A and B is that A follows B, then:
- A is a fan and follower of B.
- A and B are not considered connected.
- There is a unilateral friendship between A and B.
If B also follows A, then:
- A and B are considered connected.
- There is a mutual/bilateral friendship between A and B.
Also, from this page:
When you receive a friendship notification from another Friendica member, you will have the option of allowing them as a "Follower" or as a "Friend". If they are a follower, they can see what you have to say, including private communications that you send to them, but not vice versa. As a friend, you can both communicate with each other.
How do you cause a “friendship notification” to be sent? What form does it take when it arrives? I've been experimenting with 2 accounts, but have not seen a friendship notification.
Thank you,
Dirk
Hi Dirk. It depends on the account type and network. For example my Fendica account is setup to accept all friends requests as "followers". So I get no notification when someone adds me as a friend. But if you follow a Mastodon account, and yo are on Friendica, perhaps they get a notification.
In Friendica you can tweak these things a lot. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thank you @Tio
Two more questions:
1. How do I set up my Friendica account to accept all friend requests as "followers"? And what are the other options?
2. I told my sister to take these steps in order to follow me:
a. Go to Contacts
b. Type my info in the “Add new contact” field and click Connect
c. On the page that comes up, click Submit request
She followed the instructions, and without any input from me, we are now mutual friends. Why didn't Friendica ask for my approval?
Thanks for the help!
No, she was not on any list – I knew she had an account, but that's all. I had tried to find her account, but could not.
Two unexpected things happened: (1) She became a follower of mine without any notification to me or input from me, and (2) I became a follower of her – again without any action taken on my part.
- Yes @anubis2814 is right. You can change it form there.
- It depends what kind of account you have. Maybe you have it setup to accept all friends requests by default. Please check that. And by the way to add someone as a contact is even easier: use the top search bar and paste someone's profile (url or name). Enter. Now you can submit a friend request. I just clicked to follow you did you get any notification?

FVWM The King Of The Window Manger Forks
There are so many window managers out there but when you look at a project like FVWM, so many really cool projects have stemmed of off it so lets talk about ...YouTube
FVWM is/was great. I started using more or less when it started and I've used it as recently as 2022 on some custom embedded "carputer" type devices. Totally themeable/strippable/placeable.
Would like to see a #wayland version but... probably won't happen.
Had a stint of using #afterstep for a number of years. On an Intel Pentium dual P90 homebuilt. Ha!
