  • Same here, especially as it was the Samsung S2 of my employer.

    However, when you don't try (prefferably on an expendable device) you never learn.

  • You forgot something...

    • firewalld
    • network manager

    My work is done... 666

  • Not watching at all.

    1. Not watching sport, ever.
    2. Not in US, so don't care.
    3. It's weekend, when we listen to the radio and don't watch TV. (Nothing on anyway)
  • I have a Squeezebox Classic, so I started with Logitech Media Server. It'snnow slimserver (open source), so I use that. However, it's pretty end of live, so I'm lookingbfora replacement as well for my player. (Love the device)

  • To nit-pick a tad more, when they have access to my key and have my passphrase so they can sign with it...

    That's why you set the passphrase on keys, gpg, ssh,... Never use a encryption without a key. That way you need posession (key) and knowledge (passphrase) to identify yourself. When you use ssh, use the ssh agent, when you have automated login which would be better to use without keyphrase, use a different pair (specify wuth -i option) and limit access with that to a fixed ip.

    And always protect your key. No cloud backup...

    Edit: GPG keys also can be signed. Not by specific companies (there is probably a service for that, but it's not by design), but by other people knowing each other. That way you have a trust based on who knows who, not who has more cash...

    Same with ssh keys, you can sign those as well and set sshd to accept anybody with a certificate signed by 'x' to access the server on the same account name the cert was issued for.

  • GPG signatures are set by the sender to prove the message is originating from the sender and is unchanged. It's signed with the private key and verified with the public key.

    It is in no way a method to verify if the information is correct or rubbish. I can tell you the earth is flat and sign it, but all you know on verifying the signature is that the info was unaltered, not if it's correct or not.

  • As long as the earth isn't flat, nop. 😹

  • Look around in the world and notife what is 'cool and normal' and ask yourself, would you like to be like that? I don't, so I don't care how to be 'cool'.

    Just go about youre life and live it the way you want, there is only one person who's opinion should matter, you. (Maybe a 2nd, as living alone can get a tad boring)

  • Sorry, totally forgot apparmor. On debian that thing can be nasty, I had to fix those rules as well for bind That was years ago and was added to my Puppet module, so I forgot.

  • It's a better way, but not fool proof. I always keep root available for console login. (Saves booting from external media when there is an issue) For the rest, sudo is perfect though, but it doesn't replace root login in 100% of the situations.

  • I don't trust btrfs. Software that relies on not breaking is b0rken in my opinion. (Unless they finally fixed that)

  • Those aren't to many. I can't name many though that made good music 2 decades ago and still do. Only the Stones spring to mind. I never even heard of Taylor Swift until last year.

  • In my defence, internet was setup to share information, openly. That's broken now.

    It's ruined as well, but you're right, semantics is important.

  • Then those disks should have been wiped at the company before they were allowed to leave the building.

  • In defence, the power prizing here is a tad different, €0.45/KWh was the prize here. Also, when those disks are given away, they are usually smaller then the current standard and less efficient. On the other hand, those enterprise grade disks generate some heat, saving on the heating bill.

  • Some external group doing a terrorist attack? Nah, they don't need to. The US can attack themselves easily and will. With the coming high court ruling coming about Trump being withheld from voting slips (correct term? Not being alowed to be on the list during election) will be a huge thing. Either the very conservative judges he appointed will rule he incited a riot and should not be allowed in office again (according to the intention of article 14 of the US constitution, which those judges say they adhere), or they will say it's not up to us.

    In the 1st case, the Trump adepts will start the 2nd civil war, in the 2nd case, who knows. Leaving it to the states could result in problems in some.

    However you look at it, the USA is on it's way to a massive implosion. With a destabalised political system like that, which state needs enemies. No real democratic system has only 2 parties.

  • All those sites were ditched here because they're terrible (and white). A site needs to pick a default between light and dark, for me defaulting to dark is a way to stand out and not be the same as the rest. (Giving new users the hope not to end up in another internet sewer)

    A sites theme should not stimulate the mind, it's content should. (And most communities here do just that)
