  • Some of the things in my house were set up so long ago, and running so smoothly, i havent looked at them in years (other than auto updates) now i’m afraid i’ve accidentally left some security hole without realizing it

    For example, i set up cerbot 10 years ago and back then there was no DNS challenge, so i had to open my webserver to port 80 to renew… well since everything was running from https/443, i decided to block port 80

    so i edited the systemctl unit for certbot to temporarily open port 80 for the renewal, and close it right after…

    It was only 5 years later i realized i made a mistake and port 80 had been open for 5 years to the open internet

    Probably no harm since its a public server anyway… defense in depth is the key






  • You can only abuse your customers so much

    you’d think so… but the number of friends and family who still put up with this shit is incredible. Ads in the start menu, copilot popping up every time you press a wrong button on the keyboard, the entire task bar changing overnight with ads and stock tickers…

    That last one pisses me off so much… “i dont want to learn linux!”… MF’er, microsoft just rearranged your entire task bar and start menu overnignt and you didnt seem to have a problem adapting your workflow… why would switching to gnome or KDE be any different?






  • the claim is right there in the OP’s meme… “…china is oppressing uyghurs”. i don’t know why you keep demanding “claims” when it’s right in the meme that i was responding to.

    the meme suggests that the only evidence comes from some fucker named adrian, whom i’ve never heard of, and RFA and falun gong.

    i merely suggested that first hand accounts from my friends might actually be valid… maybe at least something to think about… but apparently listening to actual uyghur people and talking to my actual family in china is just western propaganda… so discussion is already non-starter

    anyway. it was a fun afternoon of earning capitalist value tokens while pretending to add value at work… thanks all for the discussion
