Fake news! Not one US scientist gave proof this is happening! … Oh wait …

lowering mosquito populations

Sure, since bees are doing so incredibly well (/s) let’s get the number of pollinators down even more. And it’s not like they are food themselves to others (/s)

Above all, install fail2ban

I’ve tried nearly all, stuck to home gallery.

Sorry, have to dissagree. I use them for years at home and have many of hundreds out with customers big, middle and small. We use many features it offers. Sure, it has itr’s quirks just like cisco, fortinet and all others do. But, It’s stable and reliable.

Anything will do. Just download a live iso, try it from usb or as vm untill you found what you like. I keep coming back to debian. So solid it’s (almost) boring. I do have both xfce4 and i3 inststalled and choose at login which I want/need at that moment.

Exactly my point. Flagging it at a (major)crisis point is kind of dumb, much too late for corrective/preventive measures. I’d say the warning is like 2 years late.

Why ring the alarm bell only now? The trend started Q1-23

Looooong ago we did interviews for an open position we had. With one applicant, at first sight i thought “no, not him. never ever him”. Later learned the others felt exactly the same at the very same moment. Never found out why but it was strong and clear feeling.

You could bring any make and model to those races, but DAF was most popular just because they would go just as fast in reverse as in forward

Still don’t know why, but the 240 series will always have a special place in my heart.

(fun detail: Ask any kid around the world to draw a car, and they draw a volvo 240)

DAF

they still make trucks, but their “regular” where one of a kind with it’s variomatic

Yes and no. Basically you’re right. However, I use backuppc and it tries every hour. So (for me) it works with pulling laptop’s too. Once they are on, it’s usually more than half an hour (statistically enough).

Note: much is synced with syncthing to a central node. That data is backupped from there. So it’s only laptop specific stuff that’s pulled, missing a cycle isn’t that critical to me.

One device on the lan … would not call that cloud.

If you are happy with cloud services, please, go ahead. But not for me … True. I’m having close to zero trust however safe they say it is. My choice is to have my data on my hardware that i own and control and can access 24/7.

Ps: You can’t hack me, i carry around my stack of post-it’s on my skin and they have medic style hand written passwords /s

Pretty sure I don’t. I don’t have bitwarden.

Just keepass. On two pc’s and backup to my nas.

I know. Keepass is a stand alone app. It does not need hosting.

Sure, i’ll put my password db somewere I have zero control over, just for convenience

Now look what you made me do (read buy)

I remember one of the most religious guys in town bringing in his two week old vcr on a monday. Angrily shouting he wanted to watch a video yesterday after church when the tape got stuck after one minute.

We fixed the vcr and where curiouse… As suspected : porn!
