I think meaningful commenting only works in trees, for example the old mailing lists.

With classic linear forums, I quickly loose track of different discussions. Good luck finding replys to a comment on page #3 when the post has 300 comments.

I’ve got it running for a few weeks now. Seems very nice

Most of europe’s democracys don’t have an option to elect leaders. We elect political parties, and the french can still vote for the party of Le Pen.

I don’t see a real political issue there, as long as the courts can be trusted.

Letting corrupt and convicted leaders doesn’t really sound like the better option.

Nice list of suggestions, but implementing all of them feels a little over-the-top.

I don’t really get the love for fail2ban. Sure, it helps keep your logs clean, but with a solid SSH setup (root disabled, SSH keys enforced), I’m not bothered by the login attempts.
