  • Found in the wild: The world’s first unkillable UEFI bootkit for Linux

    Jump

  • The Bootkitty sample ESET found is unable to override a defense, known as UEFI Secure Boot, that uses cryptographic signatures to ensure that each piece of software loaded during startup is trusted by a computer's manufacturer.

    AKA not that big of a deal, yet. An article from another post about this also mentions GRUB explicitly as a requirement as well as PoC using self signed keys, which renders it sort of impossible to abuse.

    UKI + your own keys + secure boot is still not broken.

  • No, comercial IPs are fine. You'll have trouble with some of them - Digital Ocean is a notorious example - where the provider itself blocks outbound port 25 and there's nothing you can do. I think DO only does that for new accounts.

    I myself am running it on Linode - it did get purchased by Akamai a couple of years ago, so I can no longer blindly recommend it - but so far it's been working fine. One thing I did recently discover was the ability to request a /56 block on Linode - my pre-assigned IPv6 got blacklisted somewhere as at least the whole /64 and simply generating another IP from the same /64 did not help. Getting a fresh block solved it for me, though, and now I know that if this /56 gets blacklisted - it's my fault. Unless, of course, I get caught up in a /48... 😳

  • You won't be able to host email on a residential IP - all of them are on a permanent blacklist. I understand the money argument - and it's a real argument - but host your own email is just so cool!

  • Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it's run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.

    There's a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.

    Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it's not a problem.

    TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.

  • What has worked for me quite well over the last few years was answering the phone without saying anything. Spammers usually are dead silent as it's just a voice recognition bot waiting for a "hello" or similar and hang up within a couple of seconds if nothing is said. Regular people have "static" most of the time. I've had a few recruiters call while having their mic on mute, but they start talking themselves fairly quickly.

  • Not OP. I guess it depends on the frame of reference. Comparing to other inefficient methods it might seem OK :)

  • Hi Lemmy, what's a good IP camera with night vision and no vendor lock-in?

    Jump

  • I only have the indoor one, but Reolink is fine. Used it as a baby cam. No cloud bs, supports an rtsp stream. App has gone downhill, but due to rtsp I sort of don't care.

  • Happy it works for you!

    I'm running it on arch so that I never have to go through big upgrades. Been over 5 years now - so far, so good!

    In regards to docker - it's just a container. You can make any executable run a container. I quite like a lean system myself, though.

  • I've never heard of mailcow specifically, but I was intentionally avoiding all-in-one packages when setting up. Life has proven that good things aren't easy and easy things aren't good.

    And so far I'm happy with that decision - setup is modular, was already able to extend it with postfwd, dual dkim signatures (rsa and ed25519), mta-sts and some other policy I can't recall right now.

    I've also specifically wanted to run as little code as possible that's exposed to the internet - as such, I chose to not have webmail.

  • I roll my own. Postfix, dovecot, spamassasin and dmarc friends. Easy to setup? No. But takes about an hour/year of my time to maintain once the ball is going.
