  • Linux Firewalls: How to Actually Secure a Cloud Server (iptables, nftables, firewalld, ufw)

    Jump

  • All the cloud services I've used had virtual network firewalls for internal traffic. Security Groups for AWS, Cloud Firewall for GCP, etc. That's typically how lateral traffic gets managed. Defense in depth is good, but as I said I haven't used host firewalls in forever, and we get audited for security certificates every year, and no auditor has asked about them that I recall.

    Jump

  • These firewall tools are interesting, but I honestly haven't needed them in years. The premise is a little out of date. Who puts cloud servers on the open internet these days? Everything I see uses a public load balancer and a WAF service.

  • Mitch McConnell mystery deepens as health questions remain unanswered

    Jump

  • What's the advantage of pretending McConnell isn't dead or incapacitated? The Kentucky legislature already took the power to appoint vacancies from the Governor when a Democrat won. Who wants to delay or avoid a special election? I don't get it.

  • Claw it back. It's well established that Congress can un-spend money now.

  • You either put it in the DSL or people start writing generators for your DSL.

  • Brother Ali is also an excellent option in that genre, although his most directly political tracks are not his best IMHO.

  • No fate but what we make. You can put in the effort to keep your mind and your ears open. Absolutely worth it IMHO.

  • What are your thoughts on internet trolling

    Jump

  • The above poster at least brought a reference. Here's another covering the backfire effect in general https://psychotricks.com/backfire-effect/

    People are a tricky problem. They don't often work the way one would think, and certainly not the way we might wish. I think it's a fair position to take that the social media environment, and the way people with opposing views interact there, has had a non-negligible impact on the rise in extreme views. That definitely includes trolling.

    But here I am offering a differing opinion with a reference in support of the backfire effect, which is some next-level irony.

  • The answers to these kinds of issues is never disclosures or ToS or admin vigilance. It's always technical. Everything which is technically possible will become normal.

    Lemmy is not popular because it is a well designed piece of technology. Frankly it's a pretty naive implementation of activitypub. It's popularity comes from being the biggest alternative around when Reddit pissed off a good chunk of its users.

    The only way to control how data is used, is to make it technically or practically impossible to do so. Until then, expect all the data on the fediverse to be used in every way possible for any purpose, and act accordingly.

  • The Dam Breaks: Democratic Senators Overwhelmingly Reject Arms Sales to Israel

    Jump

  • I have a hard time believing that Gore would have made a difference on preventing 9-11, but I'm sure the response would have been different. Maybe no Patriot Act, maybe no Afghanistan War, almost certainly no Iraq War. That's a big enough difference for me.

  • I'm having a conversation with a family member. Somehow the topic of firefighters comes up. She pauses, looks very thoughtful for a moment, then asks, "Do you not like firefighters, either?"

    "What? Why would I not like firefighters?"

    "Like how you don't like police."

    She knows me well. I boggle at how my distaste for cops could be this misunderstood.

  • They wanted to make Free Software illegal and have all computers approved by the government.

    Jump

  • I think it kinda doesn't matter. If they can catch 95% of all users, that's pretty close to total victory. Well more than enough to shut out access from Linux systems for most things without causing public backlash.

  • Did any of these outfits actually produce quality tech journalism? In my mind CNET and the like were all marketing pieces about the next smart TV. I do use Tom's Hardware when I'm shopping for PC parts because they seem to do a good job with their benchmarking. The all-time great hard tech news site was Anandtech, and that's been gone for years.

  • Can you touch type?

  • Yes with one quirk. I don't use the right shift, just the left. Not sure why I've ended up this way, or if it's a common variation.

    EDIT: looked it up. It's very common
