Everyone should think about threats to their data. Cloud backup and laptops better be encrypted, services with open ports be shielded. Linux viruses do exist, especially for android and routers. But also whatever system has an outdated dokuwiki open in the wild is a welcome addition to a botnet. The value of a botnet is in number of infected systems and you don’t need root access to mine monero or take part in a ddos on a machine. Linux security is sincerely undervalued. Selinux, the grsec kernel patches, chrootjail, tripwire… do exist, but are a hassle to setup and maintain. The new container options are nice (docker or flatpack) having your webbrowser contained is not a bad idea.

Update your router, your desktop is spoiled for updates. I stop my 1 am ramblings here.

I love that this is a photo of a print that has been places. Analog meme.

Only public facing ports, maybe your openvpn login. But that means you are already firewalled up and your attack surface is tiny, good 👍

I recommend fail2ban to stop the automated attacks that are the background noise of the internet. It will set your firewall to block certain ip’s for a while, especially ports 21/22 are getting hammered with dictionary login attempts. And port 80 and 8080 for example get constantly version checked to see if you are vulnerable with an old apache, old dokuwiki etc, so don’t expose more than you need to and maybe learn about ssh tunnels and close a few.

I once installed ossim in a small network with a server and it showed me it is war out there, scripts flying everywhere.

They discontinued the 5 while I was waiting for it -.- And “We continue to produce the old version” was missing the “and prolong the software support window”. I think I have to usb or bluetooth dongle with my next phone.

It’s a vocabulary test, if the word of the week was suffrage it’s D. Must be a course in Floridian business English preparing you for smalltalk with your colleagues.

I like badblocks in destructive mode. It can also do multiple rounds of overwriting. It is also a good tool to burn in a new hdd or test a used one. just check smartctl bad sector count, run it, check again if it increased.

Only the watermark. I had to follow the rule after I subscribed, I stole it from know your meme a few days ago because I must have found it funny. Will continue to lurk through subscriptions after this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Starting with Visual Studio (not code) helps a ton. Make a simple winforms application with a button and some labels and you will start to see how it ‘starts up’ from program.cs to your form.

Who caries…

Laurel dries 😭

If you’re lucky, there is a bottom below the hole that everything is standing on. Otherwise everything is loss in a void.

I got it! First, the free floating faucet will drop into bucket one. The impact will certainly break its connecting tube and broken 1 + faucet collapse into 4. Therefore 4 will be broken but full of shards.

There is no mention of any fluid involved, just a faucet. So lets think inside of the box and assume we have some form of 2d-gravity and it is going to rain a newtonian fluid? I think most surface area on the top is draining into 5. If it snows the whole sheet can turn white and the problem is gone, too.

Install Iron first.

Sounds great! I’ll have a look once the user infrastructure is in place.

This article is far too hypey. One dude has started this initiative and needs people to work on his concept to get it off the ground. I’m not opposed to a red-hat free immutable system, but this one is so far from maturity this article is selling a first drawing like an almost finished product. Remind me in two years how this went.

This is far too linear, where are my choices? There must be a fork of this body that is full of switches and got an included amplifier.

Can confirm. Deep connections recharge more than shallow ones. Get multiple special people into your life, one is not enough.
