From the AerynOS About page:

AerynOS is a modern Linux distribution using atomic updates, cutting-edge tooling and rock-solid reliability. Built by industry veterans with decades of experience, it represents the next evolution in Linux distributions - delivering a safe and efficient system.

Our fully atomic system leverages the LLVM toolchain and libc++ by default, delivering superior diagnostics and package diversity. We’re not afraid to challenge convention - thoughtfully replacing traditional components with modern alternatives that prioritize safety and reliability.

We closely follow the work of organizations dedicated to making software safer, including the Prossimo project and their Memory Safety initiative, the Tweede Golf team, and the Trifecta Tech Foundation. By monitoring and adopting innovations from these pioneers, we can integrate proven solutions like memory-safe replacements for critical system components.

As we continuously evaluate and adopt the best solutions, our architectural decisions enable powerful features like atomic updates that can safely transform your entire system, complete with built-in deduplication and instant rollbacks.

This is the future of Linux distribution design, built on a foundation of experience and innovation.

Where is this discussion and planning?

It looks like a WordPress competitor. I didn’t check what it’s written in.

What do you use your server for? Folks could provide answers relevant to your use case if you mention that. Just a thought.

Yes because that’s where it’s hosted and it was necessary after it was DMCA’d.

I’m not sure where updates are pulled from once it’s installed.

I use it. Never thought about security. I’m lazy.

Thanks 🙏

What’s the scam?

Our small mail server is doing OK. Incoming spam is an issue but not a massive problem. Outgoing spam doesn’t exist. Once a year the IP ends up on the Microsoft blocklist but using the deliverability form to submit mitigation requests is easy enough and takes half a day or so to sort out.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the Thunderbird team does with Stalwart.

That reminds me I’ve been meaning to spin up a server, install Stalwart and test it out.

How does this help with something like a mail server for a small org? Honest question.

The journalists who published these articles had an opportunity to educate their readers by not spreading misinformation and by not misrepresenting Thunderbird’s relationship to Mozilla.

The issue here isn’t the disdain anyone has for Mozilla (although that might be yours). The issue is the misrepresentation of Thunderbird as a Mozilla project by news media.

Thunderbird is not a Mozilla project. It is independent of Mozilla including it’s financing and has been for several years now.

My understanding is MZLA was set up so Thunderbird could accept donations and manage it’s own finances independently of Mozilla. There have been no allegations anywhere that MZLA has been mismanaged.

These articles purport to be written by journalists though. Fact checking is meant to be a staple of the job description.

Thunderbird is funded by donations and operates under the MZLA banner.

These articles today are doing a disservice to the Thunderbird team who work independently of Mozilla afaik.

Have you used Thunderbird lately?

To be fair many also rebelled and organised against the US war against Vietnam while stationed there or at home on US soil. One of the critical stages of the anti-war movement was the appearance of the anti-war GIs at anti-war rallies linking the armed forces and the anti-war movement. This represented one of the biggest rebellions in any armed forces since the Russian revolution and posed a real threat to the adminstration. It’s also one of the main reasons the US withdrew from Vietnam. They had to find a way to head off this movement becoming even more radical and making more links with anti-war, workers and revolutionary organising.

There is a great doco about this called Sir! No Sir! from 2004/5.

Clearly he isn’t responsible then /s

I don’t know about the web ui but I know in voyager you can block individual users so you can just block the bots causing issues. I do this and catch most of the bots I don’t want to see posts from.

I know you said you still want to see the bot posts but honestly try blocking those bots for a while. You probably won’t miss the posts that much and your problem will be solved.
