  • I’m not an expert. But I believe it is something to do with information redundancy.

    If you mishear a word but surrounding words must match gender and number, you may reconstruct the misheard word.

    As a native spanish speaker, I don’t think of the actual sexuality of objects, it’s just a characteristic of the word that should match other words in the sentence. For example the word screen (pantalla) is femenine, and the word monitor (monitor) is masculine. So when I see my monitor I don’t think of an actual female or male object. But the nouns should match adjectives gender, so if someone says “broken monitor” (monitor roto) or “broken screen” (pantalla rota) I have this kind of redundancy if I misheard a word.

    But I’m not an expert of linguistics. Don’t quote me.




  • Some security tips:

    Firewall should block everything by default, and you start allowing incoming and outgoing connections when you need them or if something fails.

    Disable passwords and root access in ssh daemon.

    Use fail2ban or something similar to block bots failing to log-in.

    Use random long passwords for everything (eg: like databases). And put then in a password manager. If you can remember the database password, it’s not strong enough. If you can remember the admin password for a public web service, it’s weak.

    Don’t repeat the passwords. Everything should have its own random long password.

    .env files and files with secrets should be readable only by its service user. Chmod them to 400.

    Monitor logs from time to time to see if something funny is happening.
