Also, lots of nasty bugs are in systems, because of bloat. They are getting fixed slowly, but who doesn't know cases where you cannot shut down the machine, because of "bouncing stars".
I still need to look up how to write an own startup script or start two same daemons listening on different IPs. This is why I avoid systemd on servers and only leave it on workstations.
They don't block torrents because they like to watch people connect to the nodes and then sue them.
It's always better to use onion routing.
I wish that someone sues when something breaks in the car that you didn't opt in for.
And... yet better, they get sued when something breaks that is in connection with a paid service and someone suspects that it's because they paid part caused it.
Many manufacturers offer product sheets. You can also use price comparison websites. They sometimes offer an easy way to look at the specs or even compare them side by side.
Some hard drives are built for 24/7 operation. They have higher MTBF ratings and longer guarantees.
Hard drives are very different. Many of them waste energy, lie in the SMART log or just are weird (spin up and down, lose speed, get incredibly hot etc.)
I've turned off autocorrect long time ago. Suggestions are fine. The one click more when I'm wrong is worth my time and I'm automatically educated to type correctly.
How about when the ad blockers insert a joke, when a blank screen is shown on YouTube?
Linux admins know that you're worsening security when installing 3rd party stuff into kernel, so most of them tend to avoid it. And that's why no one noticed that Crowdstrike problem.
I've been self-hosting Postfix for several years and it's not difficult, if you're absolutely confident what you do. I don't recommend it if you don't know basic behaviors and internals of SMTP and relaying. Also you need to know how to secure your server so you don't get spammed a lot and getting hammered with brute force attacks.
From time to time you need to react to delivery problems. Most interesting one is perhaps Microsoft, which you need to ask to whitelist your server or your email won't be accepted.
The idea of "security software" is ridiculous overall. You buy a software to fix security problems in Windows and it violates the original product by inserting code into kernel code. You lose support by the original product vendor. And you think you're secure, even the whole stuff makes you forget that IT should be always fit in solving security/restorability problems even when everything else fails.
Me too. I use [email protected] for almost everything. Not only I can have many mynames, I also can have very many theirnames.
Are you looking for something like cached credentials?
