  • Currently kinda controversial, but currently it’s still Fedora, the xfce4 version.

    I had Debian for some time before, but had my apt packages messed up a couple of times to the point I had to entirely re-install. In stable, I was missing sufficiently recent versions, in testing I had other problems.

    With Fedora dnf I had less problems recovering, usually more recent versions.

    Xfce4 is just more suitable for my needs than Gnome.









  • By which component is the password truncated on account-creation? Imo, the web UI shouldn’t do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn’t be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password?

    If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn’t even have to know about it.
