schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Wondering how and why? With @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe and @BoxedTux@mastodon.social, I’m already running platforms that provide free VPS instances for educational purposes, learning and testing for years now. I guess, providing real AS and peering services (maybe even sponsoring LIR in cooperation [but this would cost money]) could also be very interesting for several ones, apart from the DN42 network. Happily looking for feedback…

Ich weiß, es gibt regulatorische Regeln, die manchmal eingehalten werden müssen. Aber nicht immer! Daher:
„Wir können technisch nur alle drei Monate releasen." Das ist keine Architektur-Grenze. Das ist Angst vor dem eigenen Code.
Wer nicht schnell releasen kann, kann nicht schnell lernen und macht dann nur Wasserfall in teuren Sprints. Kein Framework fixt das. Das ist eine Skill-Lücke: automatisieren, kleiner schneiden, Feedback verkürzen. Handwerk, kein Zeremonien-Zirkus.

Security-minded #devops folks who are adding package cooldowns to your deployment rules…
…how are you possibly dealing with zero day fixes? (Short of auditing everything, which… you're lying to yourself if you truly believe that is happening, thoroughly.)
(defs:
Cooldowns: "don't update this package until the version you'd update to has been available for at least 48h”
zero day fixes: “vendor-provided fixes for a previously-publicly-undisclosed vulnerability that is not yet being exploited”.
