I write code and play games and stuff. My old username from reddit and HN was already taken and I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to be called so I just picked some random characters like this:

>>> import random
>>> ''.join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") for x in range(5)])
'e0qdk'

My avatar is a quick doodle made in KolourPaint. I might replace it later. Maybe.

@ernest runs it, I think

@piotrsikora -- FYI in case you can do anything about it or have insight

Federation is way behind -- like 5~6 hours behind, I think.

https://kbin.social/u/ernest is in charge but it seems like he's having serious IRL issues from his most recent comments. Some people appear to have managed to get his attention through Matrix in the recent past but I don't know how to use it.

See https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/544021/So-what-s-the-status-on-the-update-edit-ernest-responded for recent discussion.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't see any content via kbin. I've tried to access it as a magazine (which is what would make the most sense for a blog, probably) and as a user. Both are recognized (i.e. I don't get 404) but neither has any content (just get "Empty").

Is the federation not working, or am I doing it wrong?

X-post from reddit, Sharing media headaches: Samba won't show "new?" media, and can't figure out multiple user auth in NFS. SFTP on Windows? Help... ( kbin.social )

EDIT: This has been solved!! This link has the full post, but basically you need to ensure SELinux flags are set for every file, and this won't happen to new files added. I have appended the SELinux option as a context entry to my fstab and now every file shows!...

files that I added shortly after setting up Samba and getting it running are simply not showing in client systems.

Hmm... Some initial questions to help with debugging:

  • Have you checked the logs (both samba logs and system logs) to see if there are any messages that might be relevant to what's going on?
  • Are the new files showing up correctly on the system hosting the shares (when you access directly on that system)?
  • If you stop samba (instead of restarting it), do the shares actually become inaccessible -- as expected?
  • What happens if you modify/rename a (preferably unimportant!) file that does show up currently? Can clients see the change?
  • What distro are you running on the system hosting the shares?

Renamed file does show as renamed. Bonus, a new file I created on the server from context menu "New text file" entry does also show on clients

Hmm... so what's different about the files that don't show up? If we can figure that out, that may point to the solution... Were they created in a notably different way (e.g. uploaded from a client)? Are they symlinked into the directory? Are they named in a notably different way? Very different in size? You've said you've already checked file permissions, but what about the actual owner/group -- are they the same as the files that do show up?

Is SELinux (or some other security software) running and doing something weird maybe? For Fedora, I think there would be a log entry at /var/log/audit/audit.log if something is getting blocked due to a security policy, but I don't run Fedora personally.

I ran my own email server about 10-ish years ago for a while on a Linode using Postfix and Dovecot similar to what others have mentioned. Took some effort to prevent GMail from just flagging everything I sent as spam, but I was eventually able to do it. I remember having to configure something particular with DNS records. (An SPF TXT record, probably?)

I didn't end up using it very much and shut it down after a couple years, but it was a good exercise and I learned a lot from doing it.
