Services on http://www.fierydragonlord.com/ are restored after reconfiguring the firewall. Had to put together a rudimentary setup using firewalld after a migration using the susefirewall2-to-firewalld script (https://github.com/openSUSE/susefirewall2-to-firewalld). Again, if anything is broken, please let me know.
@openSUSE, you need to mention in the openSUSE Leap 15.0 release notes that SuSEfirewall2 is deprecated and has been replaced with firewalld. I had to learn a new iptables frontend and yet there's nothing in the release notes mentioning this change.
I've asked the related question in security SE: Why does not updating a MacOS keychain password cause applications to become troublesome? and the answer there explains that keychain is used by various applications to store "sensitive data such as credentials, certificates and the like... password...
@uhoh I don't think it's a constructive question anyway
what are you going to do with that information even if someone told you precisely why? it's not like you can go edit the source code of the proprietary Apple Preview program and fix it so it doesn't require keychain access
there's no practical purpose to the question -- you can either take it (use the software and accept any permissions it requires) or leave it (use different software); there is literally nothing else you can do unless you're an Apple software developer who works on Preview, which is a demographic probably fewer than 1 in 1 billion people on the planet
@djsmiley2k it's probably somewhere between 1 and 20 people who actually have the stature within Apple Inc. to make approved changes to the Preview app
they have many more developers than that but they don't work on Preview at all, and if they did, they'd get a lot of questions
Sometimes knowing why something is the way it is is edifying in itself, even if you can't practically do anything with it (not that it necessarily makes for a good SE QA, but that's another discussion QA)
A slightly fatuous statement I'll admit, but there's satisfaction to be had in learning things for the sake of learning them

@bertieb Oh sure
I don't disagree with that.
But I'm not sure here is the right place for it, especially as we could just fill SU entirely with questions that almost can never be answered.
@bertieb , I always appreciate "joining forces" with you within the Suggested Edit review queue! That being said, I was hoping you could help clarify our thought process on this one: superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/759706
Do we know that the proposed registry entry is correct?
Thank you, @DavidPostill. I know that volunteer editors have the best of intentions, but that particular scenario seemed to be rather problematic. The original answer was accepted by the OP, had six up-votes, and the question itself has over 9300 views. Without any way to personally confirm that the proposed edit is actually correct, is seems unlikely that it would have successfully passed scrutiny from all of those other people with misleading information.
Rob, your proactive nature within the review queues is genuinely awesome, and I am very gratefully for your efforts! There will always be a few scenarios that are rather subjective calls. This one simply seemed to be a bit questionable without proof or confirmation.
That sentiment is totally understandable. Of course, all of us have been enthusiastic contributors who had "low rep" at one point in time. As long as we put a positive spin on the subsequent comments and recommendations, I think that the new members will typically understand.
Agreed on all counts. Cultivating new members in a positive manner can go a long way towards creating another long-term contributor towards the community. We have had similar discussions in recent weeks: the "tough love" method may actually work, but it may scare away potential contributors, too.
