@i97henka:matrix.orghenrik-chSorry, got some family commitment popping up and conflicting with today's meeting. See you again next time.14:33:21
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpMuch better, however as a personal recommendation, I suggest using the list of times after each repeated failures. I found that attackers would repeat their attack after a while once they notice that they are banned, and alternate between corrupted hosts. 14:56:49

Much better, however as a personal recommendation, I suggest using the list of times after each repeated failures, using something like bantime-increment.multipliers = "1 2 4 8 16 …";

I found that attackers would repeat their attack after a while once they notice that they are banned, and alternate between corrupted hosts.

Using multiplier following some exponential definitely help at getting rid of most repeated attempts.

What I could really need help with is cleaning up the language reference in the Nix manual. It’s still mostly a long meandering wall of text that needs to be a lot more concise, needs more focused examples, and most importantly syntax patterns for all the constructs.
Could you clarify what you mean by "syntax patterns"? Also, just to confirm, you're referring to this? https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/

Things like at the top of this document: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/constructs/lookup-path

I don't want to call them grammar because we're still far away from actually formalising any of that
