lifehack: use IPv6 addresses as passwords: they have letters, numbers, special characters, can contain caps, and are long enough.

If you accidentally paste it somewhere noone will suspect a thing.

Bonushack: you can put a label in DNS as a password reminder!

@DeltaLima

for more fine grained control I give you
wiki.debian.org/AptConfigurati

which is mostly about pinning which packages to take from what repositories

@Krafting @markzero

the creation date still is 2018. Most probably not domain expiry but a move to a different registrar.

Some form of communication by a channel about what is going on would be nice. If only to stop speculation.

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.

So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc.

4 Panel comic with 2 snails.

Panel 1:
Left snail craws behind right snail and asks: 'English is difficult. When do we use "many" and when do we use "much"?

Panel 2:
Right snail answers: '"Many" is for nouns that are countable, like apples. "Much" is for nouns that are not countable, like water.

Panel 3:
Left snail concludes: 'So we should say "many rational numbers" and "much real numbers"?

Panel 4:
Right snail is turned around to look (with pain?) at left snail.

Thanks Hella (unixwitch).

@flohoff

May i ask why? The ISP doesn't supply a plain ONT?

After some thinking my conclusion was that basically the form factor and customer connection side (SFP vs copper) is different, but both have software and are controlled by the ISP.

For me this was the reason to accept the ISP's Nokia XS-010X-Q. Less restrictions because there is a plain cat-5e cable between ONT and router.

De Sociale Verzekeringsbank verwerkt dagelijks extreem gevoelige gegevens: pensioenen, AOW, kinderbijslag, nabestaandenuitkeringen. Van vrijwel iedereen in dit land.

Juist déze organisatie is nu druk bezig met totale migratie naar de cloud van Microsoft.

Dit is geen technische keuze. Dit is een politieke keuze. En een gevaarlijke.

Ik heb meteen een debat aangevraagd, want de stopknop op aanstaande en lopende migraties moet worden ingedrukt! Lees hier verder: barbarakathmann.nl/svb/ #Trump

Je ziet een foto van mij in de Tweede Kamer. Ik zit op een blauw stoeltje met het tweede kamerlogo in wit boven in het midden op de stoel. De stoeltjes om mij heen zijn leeg. Ik kijk in de camera. Bruine haren los. Op de foto een wit tekstvak met blauwe rand en tekst in blauwe letters. Er staat: Ze zijn in Den Haag helemaal gek geworden! Gegevens over pensioenen, AOW, kinderbijslag en nabestaandenuitkeringen gaan ook in beheer in de VS.

@jonnobleuk

Short and sweet explanation. I spot one potential issue though. MODE="0666" allows any user to access the programmer. An alternative to limit access is creating (or reusing) a group, set mode to 0660 and add users to this group that are allowed to use the programmer. Maybe openocd creates such a group.

Found a more detailed explanation at ucartz.com/clients/knowledgeba

@visone

The answer is (as always 😁) it depends.

One way forward could be to know what you want to achieve and try build it with many options. That way you learn about individual concepts like switching, vlans, ip, ip filtering, ip state, etc.

A list of router and firewall distributions is available @ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_
