Open standards are the first step of a functional transition to an open government. From there Open Source Software can compete against commercial software, once the ppl see that the FOSS offers the same features then the proprietary paid software they can easily switch to it. With open standards they only need to train the users, no data to migrate etc.
Focus instead on enforcing standards’ compliance so i can open a
.docxwith any program and be usable anywhere.
That’s an impossible task. Not even Microsoft manages that. Do not want to count how often i used libreOffice to repair or convert an older MSOffice file so it can be opend with modern Versions of MSOffice.
Once there was a 500MB Excel Sheet with lime 500-1000 used Cells, opened and saved it to.a xlsx file using libreOffice and reduced it to a few MB while still being fully functional.
Yes i do i and you do you. But advertising those things as security measures while not adding any real security is just snake oil and can result in neglecting real security measures.
As i said, the whole internet can be port scanned within seconds, so your services will be discovered, what is the risk you assume to have when your IP address is known and the fact that you host a service with it? The service has the same vulnerabilities if it is hosted via cloudflare tunnels or directly via port forwarding on the router. So you assume that your router is not secure? Then unplug it, cause it is already connected to the router.
Geoblocking is useless for any threat actor. You can get access to VPN services or a VPS for very very very little money.
You want your backup functional even if the system is compromised so yes another system is required for that, or through it to the cloud. Important that you do not allow deleting or editing of the backup even if the credentials used for backing up are compromised. Basically an append only storage.
Most Cloud Storage like S3 Amazon (or most other S3 compatible providers like backblaze) offer such a setting.
I doubt that this is the case, whether it is encrypted or not. The complexity and risks involved with decrypting it on the fly is really unrealistic and unheard of by me (have not heard of everything but still)
Also the ransomware would also need to differentiate between the user and the backup program. When you do differentiated backups(like restic) with some monitoring you also would notice the huge size of the new data that gets pushed to your repo.
Edit: The important thing about your backup is, to protect it against overwrites and deletes and have different admin credentials that are not managed by the AD or ldap of the server that gets backed up.
During that time, your data is encrypted but you don’t know because when you open a file, your computer decrypts it and shows you what you expect to see.
First time i hear of that. You sure? Would be really risky since you basically need to hijack the complete Filesystem communication to do that. Also for that to work you would need the private and public key of the encryption on the system on run time. Really risky and unlikely that this is the case imho.
Would it be not much easier (and more portable) if you create a Linux VM in for example VirtualBox? From there you could just follow any Linux guide.
The cheap models can not be flashed with openwrt since they use some proprietary drivers or something.
The complete Opal series is not supporte iirc.
You should have read the post more carefully. The CVE affects every OS. Just the first shown example is Windows only.
Also, the relevant commits are outlined in the first paragraph. This article is not for the stupid user it’s a technical analysis on a few ways to exploit it and for those cases the commits are more relevant than the version. Also saying which versions are affected is not that easy, commits can be backported into an older version by for example the packager.
This is not really correct. Those companies take complete control of the secret keys. And no, it is not the same effect when you use tailscale compared to wireguard cause of various reasons. CGNAT, no port forwarding, funnels etc.
Netmaker, Tailscale or Zerotier
No way in hell i am giving a company complete remote access to my servers and clients.
This is not the invention of an IP KVM, those are old. This product just offers the functionality of an IP KVM for very little money.
It is based on completely different hardware. A Raspberry Pi CPU is much more expensive than the CPU that is used here.
Power issues can cause problems that the hardware glitches into states it should not be. Changing something in the BIOS or updating it. Hardware defects. OS upgrade fails (Kernel bug causes the network driver to fail) Etc. Etc.
Those devices are not for the weekly “oh my setup failed” its for the once in 10 years “i am on vacation and the server is not reachable and for some reasons my system crashed and has not rebooted by its own”
And for below 100€ it’s a no-brainer.
You want the mail-crypt-plugin in dovecot.
I just set it up. Yes i dislike the fact, that you need another party for syncing it, but i doubt it would be possible otherwise, just too much work to support everyone.
I read up on GoCardless and they do not sound that evil
But not sure if i will keep the connection up. Will see i guess.
Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.
Also no link to the repo.
And how often. have you said stuff that you have not received advertising for? You will notice it when you get a positive match but not on a negative.
Data collecting companies can predict/rate your behavior for more then 20 years based. Since then. it has been perfected. They know that you are interested in those topics without having the need to waste resources on recording and analyzing every single audio stream.
What do you mean with encryption? Does it need to be transport encrypted, end to end encrypted or is encryption at rest (when the server is offline) good enough?
