How to Modify Ban Time Fail2ban | Mark Ai Code
Fail2ban is an open-source log parsing program that guards against brute-force assaults on your system. It parses log files and blacklists IP addresses with a high number of authentication failures.
This commonly happens when a person tries to log in through trial and error. Fail2ban then takes action, such as modifying the firewall rules to ban that IP address for a set amount of time, which is usually 10 minutes or 600 seconds. To avoid locking off innocent users who may have frequently mistyped their passwords, the blocked IP address is automatically unbanned after 10 minutes.
This post will teach you how to adjust the ban time in fail2ban and, if desired, how to permanently ban an IP address.

How to Use Picture in Picture Mode in Brave Browser
Brave is an excellent Chrome-like and yet Chrome alternative web browser.
Firefox and Brave are two browsers I like using on my Linux system. Both have different advantages.
There is one thing that Firefox does better than Brave and it is the picture-in-picture (PIP) mode that works on YouTube, Netflix and most streaming sites.
Brave too has picture-in-picture mode but it’s so hidden that you feel like there is no PIP support at all.
The built-in picture-in-picture works on some websites (like YouTube) but may not work on others (like Prime Video). Worry not! you can use a dedicated extension for that.
Let me show both methods in this tutorial.
