Using the AWS CLI to manage your AWS EC2 Instances in a quick and easy way. Recently I have moved into a new position working on the cloud environment in my current company as an AWS Engineer to help build, support, maintain the infrastructure of our systems. With this change has also allowed me to learn more about AWS and use the CLI both locally and on the hosted EC2 instances.

  • YSK: In addition to Reddit, StackOverflow is on Strike
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    I never got any help asking questions there anyways. Answers I got back we’re trollish. When I provide and answer it can’t be the answer as it’s based on your own reputation score which you can’t get but answering questions. It seems like a flawed system. Didn’t know they had mods either. Never really got any solutions either from stack overflow, unless you read every comment for the right answer.

  • Which port to run Wireguard on
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.

    Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.

    Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.

  • What does this mean?
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    Interesting the app and website tell you the website is not on the latest version. That’s good for both the user and site owners to keep the software updated. It like everyone said, lemmy took away some admin and captcha settings with the last upgrade. Many server admins are waiting for them to be restored.

  • Is Quad9 a good DNS provider?
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    I run a PiHole and have Quad9 as the upstream resolver instead of the ISP. That was pretty simple to setup as well. You can also do DNS-over-HTTPs and other options as well for content filtering to block malware and items of DNS upstream.

    Hey, I'll try to handle the abandoned magazines / transfers as quickly as possible. However, I need to automate this process because there are too many requests.
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    @ernest I guess the other question, what determines an abandoned magazine? Will there be contact to the current owner to make a final decision?

  • What should individual communities on Lemmy be called?
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    I wonder as more people join the threadiverse, as its also been nicknamed, the knowledge of community and magazine might be better understood. I do think however the integration could be stream-lined a little better when going between the two.

    New instance, no magazines. Now what?
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    You posted this on the /m/kbinMeta on kbin.social from your instance. So you're right in the fact that when you search it does only show the local ones. As your instance starts federation by users and interactions, things should pick up a little. Then users on your instance will soon start to see content and make magazines and groups there too.

    How important are tags in Kbin?
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    Tags are a way to help spread the microblog or thread type into the fediverse and searchable as well. While on mastodon, I can see a microblog or thread post type of article, link, etc, it'll show the tags, but the posts do not appear in the same tagged way a post from mastodon with a tag does. I think this is a bug for now.

    If you are on a Mastodon instance and follow a kbin.social user for example, you will see their posts and comments to on kbin and can interact still on the same thread in kbin for example.

    I can find the mod's profile on kbin: https://kbin.social/u/@donmildreone@lemmy.ml

    and I know other communities on lemmy.ml work as I subscribe to the /m/linux@lemmy.ml from kbin. Might need time or more posts to start the federation.

    Magazine owners of federated mags are all "owned" by Ernest
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    I think this would be the best too. Just like when you see a post thread and it says "This is federated, click the instance to see more", change the Owner to the root instance level or link to the community/magazine of the federated content.

    Subscribing to small (previously unseen by kbin) communities
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    I wonder if some of it also has to do with how federation works. Once a user visits and follows another instance the two instances start to federate. The more instances and sites of lemmy/kbin and the more users the harder it might get.

    Are the communities on lemmy or kbin you are looking for?

    Why is the comment form at the bottom of the thread instead of the top?

    I like that part too. Makes you engage in the conversation already going and add your own comments to that, rather than repeating the same answer over and over.

    Is there a way to view Kbin posts in an RSS feed?
  • cjerrington cjerrington Now 100%

    I know some folks have used RSS for many things on user accounts as well. Sometimes there could be a reason you cant subscribe to a user or magazine and RSS is a way around that. I subscribe to my mastodon rss feed just for fun too.

    using the RSS feed you could link it to a blog or personal website as well and share your posts in a way to others who may not be on the same site as you. Like sharing your posts on your websites so others can see on your site what it is you post so they dont have to have an account as well on kbin for example.

    Or you can get a RSS firehose of accounts together to keep up on things outside of the community to ensure you dont miss something in your /m/sub feed.

Also have a lemmy account as well to test some of the multiaccount features and when users have both lemmy and kbin. You can find me on kbin or mstdn as well!

    Thanks for your work in getting the first apps made for these platforms.

    With Federation on pause for now on kbin.social, I wonder how the fediverse will handle all the outgoing and incoming federation requests then. Reminds me of the Twitter migration and things stalled for a few days. [\#fediverse](https://kbin.social/tag/fediverse)

    How to check for Jellyfin updates

    I enjoy working on selfhosted items and Jellyfin is in the mix. As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that.
