It's why IPv6 is important, but many didn't listen.

This is like the pot calling the kettle black.

The GOP hired this guy with the intention of breaking the USPS after they kneecapped it with their stupid budget sabotage (remember the pre-funded 401k crap?)

This is 100% political theater. They're both on the same side trying to make it like they're not.

"We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong"

Yes, but OP mentioned nothing about Cloudflare.

Sweet. Both OPNSense and pfSense firewalls have the ability to tie into MaxMind's GeoIP service. Not sure what your perimeter device is, but it's pretty easy on those. And free.

Best solution is a VPN to your home network.

However, if you want to host it publicly, at least restrict access to it via GeoIP. For example, if you live in Europe and only need access from there, only allow the areas in Europe you travel to and block everything else. This will greatly reduce your attack surface.

Also, make sure everything is patched. Always. And implement something like fail2ban to deny repeated failed logins, along with a reverse proxy.

It's "refreshing" to see conservative leaders in other countries are just as insane and inept as they are in the West.

I ran KDE for a year or so recently. The screen sharing bug, since I rely on screen sharing greatly for work, made me switch to something else. If that hadn't existed, I'd have probably stuck with it.

KDE is a great DE, but I've always found it more buggy than the rest. It also pushes the envelope, though, and really is a cutting edge DE.

GNOME might be more "stable", but I've also found you need to have at least a half dozen extensions and GNOME Tweaks to make it usable OOTB. Also, it uses as much RAM just doing nothing as a Windows install.

KDE has always been "Wow this is cool and very well designed" until I always run into a bug I can't get past and have to switch. This has been my cycle for half a decade or more:

1. I hear about KDE's latest cool features (HDR support was the latest) and give it a try.
2. I use it for several months.
3. An update breaks something that is critical to my workflow and I have to switch to something else.

These days, though, I use Cinnamon. It is the definition of "just works" and other than network management GUI elements being kind of meh (especially for VLANs), I've found it to be rock solid.

Wow. Never seen someone defend porch pirates before. What a hot take.

That's literally the opposite purpose of having common munitions.

I know Pop_OS! has some excellent Optimus controls built into their distro. I haven't used NVidia in a while, though, since I went all AMD for better driver support.

This. America used to give so many fewer rights to all.

Yes, there are SERIOUS problems in America that are systemic, but they are fixable. We just need to keep going.

"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong"

The UN just all voted for a ceasefire.....except the US, who vetoed it.

Don't worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don't want to touch you either.

You don't have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.

Fair, but I absolutely loved Ahsoka. It and The Mandalorian are my favorite shows to come out recently.

Debian and Linux Mint.

Debian for mission critical stuff like servers or things I don't want to futz with, like HTPCs, work machines, etc.

Mint for my gaming desktop because it's a bit newer on kernels and such.

I don't get why anybody uses Ubuntu. Just use Debian. It's basically more stable and functional Ubuntu, but without snaps and you don't need an entire distro branch for different DEs.

Hubspot is the worst.

How is Filoni ruining Star Wars? He's the only one making any GOOD Star Wars. Everything not involving him has been utter garbage, for the most part.
