  • Lemmy does not support karma, but account age if I’m not mistaken. Maybe add a rule to require a certain account age before accepting a post. The main idea is to prevent astroturfing, spam accounts and socket puppets for ban evasion.

    Not sure how effective this is since violators could setup an own instance which lies about the account age. Still quite the investment for ban evasion IMHO.


















  • I would recommend key based authentication for SSH connections. For the normal connection, the key pair is enough, if you want admin (root) access, you would use the command sudo which in turn requires a password. For creating a default admin account: Linux does this for you, it’s called root. You should create a personal user to work with in daily business and add it to the sudoers group (permits using the sudo command)



  • If the package comes from the repo, you can uninstall it by the same name you used to install it. If it came from a .deb file (in case of debian), you can find out how the package calls itself and use that name to uninstall. Usually the package name is quite identical to the file name. And dpkg -L shows you which files came from the package and where they were installed.
