[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (2 children) You're literally replying under a submission that's about unreviewed malware that got accepted in their repo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dandroid@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Those are snaps. I don't use those on my server. AFAIK, they're mostly used for GUI applications. I don't even have a GUI on my server. I wouldn't even know how to install or run a snap from command line. Most things that run in my server are containerized services that I wrote personally. So as long as there isn't a vulnerability in podman or my reverse proxy, and as long as keep my base containers up to date (they pull the latest base image each time the image is built), I'm mostly fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lengau@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I want to make something clear before I start: the person to whom you are replying is being quite toxic in this thread and I'm sorry you had to interact with them. (They're also saying a bunch of incorrect stuff.) That said - I personally have more non-GUI snaps installed than GUI ones. Including in my homelab, where having the latest htop is very convenient and where I've got several actual server apps installed as snaps (postgres and plex being the first two that come to mind). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dandroid@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago That's good to know, and I had a feeling I was wrong about that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] woelkchen@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Those are snaps.
