Are there any ham radio friendly (or at least STEM focused) Matrix instances out there that allow sing ups? I want to encourage my ham radio club to communicate with it. I dislike Discord and most people born this millennium dislike IRC, but Matrix looks like a valid third way.

The one ham related option I found won't let me create new accounts. Yeah, I could setup my own instance, but I have no idea what the maintenance burden will be.

The MS Office Open XML standard has been around for about 18 years. Open / LibreOffice has been around with an XML standard that's even older than that. Why do I still get emails with file attachments in .DOC format?

Am I alone in still getting old style MS Office files from organizations in my inbox? Unfortunately antiword is long unmaintained, so terminal viewing is a challenge.

It is my opinion as a #syadmin that a small business is safer having physical security keys that are simply always left in (non-customer-facing) computers but require a user to touch them for logins than by having passkeys.
I've had to deal with a few situations where a user registered a service with their personal mobile device or SSO account and the company never noticed until they moved on.
It seems to me that most of the discussions on passkeys ignore corporate use.

Hetzner (like many other providers) do not provide #OpenBSD machines.. but there is a nice #syadmin trick to install your beloved OS over whatever they provide. In this video we will see how you. In short:

1. Create your #GNU / #Linux machine
2. Login, wget & dd the IMG
3. Reboot in Console and install using network installation (say http packages)
4. Reboot in your new OS
5. Have fun.

Here is my video of above steps... with some more info, discussion and fun :)

Any good and up to date guide on how to harden SSH server on linux.

I had something a few years back, but it is likely not up to date now as it was already outdated then (and who knows where the bookmark is).

Mastodon Server update looks good,
was a bit of a bigger one as I changed from old nix style to nix flakes.
and from 22.11 to 23.05
All looks fine to me, if you have any bugs feel free to ping me.
