Do you think there's better ways to fediverse?
Personally I think that if there was like a central link/front end to access everything and then have each user be able to have a recommended list of instances/hosts to access would be a more user friendly solution and a better solution for search engines. I know the fediverse is about decentralization but having a central front...

Does running applications inside a container as an unprivileged user have any security benefits?
I’m new to the container world. Does it have any security benefits when I run my applications as a non-root user in a docker container? And how about Podman? There I’ll run the container as an unprivileged user anyway. Would changing the user in the container achieve anything?

Who have logs of how users vote?
Besides it’s a very important question for our privacy, I suspect some of my comments getting downvoted at set periods of time from other accounts. I don’t understand how the fediverse work and what I’m asking is who has vote logs? Who I can ask, if a bot, like on reddit, got dedicated to downvote every post from one user....
Can sufficiently energetic EM waves of a specific frequency affect weaker EM waves of a different frequency?
My initial thought is “no,” since our eyes, being receivers for specific wavelengths of EM radiation, can’t see frequencies like infrared, no matter how bright. Likewise, my cell phone’s WiFi and cell modules don’t conflict with each other (as far as this layperson can tell, anyway)....

Have I successfully blocked ssh logins to root?
I have a server where I believe I have disabled root login via ssh. I think it is done correctly, as I cannot login with root myself via ssh, but I would’ve thought that it would be reflected in /var/log/auth.log. Instead, it shows up as failed password entry. Is this intended?...
