SELinux isn’t really meant to be a user space “utility,” for lack of a better term. It’s meant to be an expert focused security framework for those with the expertise to both understand and implement robust security policies. Your average user daily driving Linux or even running a few self hosted services doesn’t really need complex security policies, and is definitely better served by some simpler tools.

What’s wrong with freecad? I use it all the time.

I think people really underestimate how much goes into getting these algorithms tuned on legacy social media to create this kind of niche engagement. Actually I think there’s almost a cynical instinct here on Lemmy where that kind of effort would be rejected if it was seriously discussed.

Piefed implements an “attitude” system which tracks up vote ratio and a few other simple metrics mods can use to identify bad actors

Same. It’s a great car and I generally don’t care what other people think of me. But seriously fuck Elon Musk. I’m a shareholder as well and would absolutely vote to remove him as CEO in a heartbeat.

Meh. At least pretending to be an adult feels like a pretty low bar.

SELinux: I’m sorry Dave, we don’t do that here.

Hah, I am all over that first thread already. Also in that second thread. This discussion is getting pretty out of band at this point, but I’ve actually thought about proper cryptographic solutions to this problem, but it would require modifying activity pub itself. Which is why I’m very much in favor of voting agent anarchy to force the issue.

Do you have a link to any discussions on this? I have browsed local posts on piefed.social but can’t find it. I’d be curious to see more context in support of the trusted instance concept.

Yeah I guess for me I don’t really trust any admins. At the end of the day that’s a permanent database of user activity which could be passed along to anyone, so ideally the minimum threat surface would be that it exists only on the home instance.

Also, I kind of just don’t get the point of obfuscating for some and not others unless there are some politics going on behind the scenes, which just gives me even more cause for concern. I think this is a killer feature for piefed and really addresses a major concern I have with Lemmy so it is just disheartening to hear that the functionality has been nerfed for seemingly no good reason.

That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.

There are plenty of ways to handle double voting without plaintext user strings. The fact that it’s done this way is just lazy and poor design and doesn’t actually do anything to prevent a rogue instance from vote spamming with fake users.

The poorest parts of China are still much poorer than any middle class. Most rural Chinese still do not complete high school.

Most people don’t actually like real security as much as they claim they do. SELinux and its derivatives are pretty much the only real option we have for properly robust security these days.

Sigh, give me the numbers

Right, they don’t support the advanced login protocols some providers like outlook require. That was a deal breaker, because deltachat was pretty much the last encrypted messaging service which worked in China.

A brand new rider makes around 50w off the couch. 100-200w functional threshold power is normal for someone who rides casually but regularly. Pro racers are doing like 5 w/kg so around 300w for a smallish person.
