Excellent. I was not aware of that, thank you!
comment
I agree with your summation. To add to this, there are many things going on under the hood that none of us asked for that are taking up system resources, dialing home and draining battery life. Some …

Did you also try stripping out the locale's from glibc that you don't need? In CentOS that frees up about 150MB for me.
comment
Has anyone actually used more than 512 PIDs in their docker container? I am curious if the new limit will impact anyone.
comment
Same. I deleted my facebook account shortly after being talked into creating it. I learned way too much about my friends and lost respect for many of them. I've never had a twitter account. I…

Does this prevent someone from blowing the whistle anonymously? Isn't there some risk in forcing people to be anonymous? e.g. I know I can't go to the government for help, so I have to po…

In addition to SSL Labs, I also find this useful for things that are not exposed to the internet. (firewalled) [1] https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh It only depends on Open…
comment
Compiling nginx would be a lot easier if they would stop hard coding so many things in the makefile. Enabling libc hardening (aslr, pie, full relro for example) requires manually editing generated fi…
comment
I agree with your sentiments. In our company, communication is already highly splintered. We have so many ways of communicating, posting, sharing and chatting that nobody knows what is going on. It …
comment
Actually, people have. They just haven't packaged it all up into a happy-clicky single click deployment. There is a little bit of configuration involved, but I have confidence that a majority o…
comment
There is also Convos [1] a web front end client to IRC that addresses some of your concerns. It uses Redis to maintain state. [1] https://github.com/Nordaaker/convos …
comment
ssh multiplexing is ON by default. The default is `MaxSessions 10`. Unless you have `MaxSessions 1` in your config, then you have it enabled in your environment. If you have 2FA and SOC1/SOC2…
comment
History has shown us that all the the IoT devices are poorly coded at best and completely un-managed at worst. It is also assumed that these devices have unfettered internet access. Most of them can …
comment
So basically what you are saying is that all of the testing done on animals prior to humans as a requirement to get FDA approval is not valid. Perhaps I agree with you on that part.
comment
My mail server forces TLS and strong ciphers. Try it out. postmaster@ohdns.org You may also test using that address on checktls[1] [1] http://www.checktls.com/perl/TestReceiver.…
comment
I am not at all surprised. There are 'best practices' and then there is what really happens based on business processes and needs. In reality, even the most cloudy of cloud providers will …
comment
People will do what people can do. That said, businesses will do what they can to protect their revenue stream. They have a fiduciary responsibility to do so and I do not blame them. If their custo…

Perhaps you are on to something. Perhaps he wanted to be remembered for doing something good.
comment
Here is another great learning resource on human group and individual behavior. Sorry, I know it is a long documentary. This covers in great depth how fears and wants affect people. [1] https:/…
comment
Certainly. 1. Here is an example of reckless behavior associated with a lack of fear as it pertains to humans taking anti-fear drugs. [1] http://news.nationalpost.com/news/there-w…
comment
I also agree. There is a significant difference in treating anxiety vs. nullifying fear. PTSD is trauma induced conditioning and the result is irrational, but expected. Primordial instinctive fear…
comment
EULA's and binding arbitration clauses are not valid when up against negligence. You can not legally waive negligence in most countries, no matter what a web form or paper contract says. It is …
comment
I am a technologist; and yet, I am all for stifling innovation with IoT. The folks creating these devices are not qualified to make decisions for themselves or for us.
comment
What impact might this have on tax revenue from said controlled devices no longer being purchased in California? Do we start referring to encrypted devices without back doors as contraband?
comment
That would be a tough one to get a simple answer from. Legally, they could say "no." because the backdoor might legally be a "lawful intercept" or "super-duper debugging thing…
comment
The best I can get is an oops panic on CentOS 7. It appears smaps may be preventing the exploit from working.
comment
That is bad. Even worse was a default that the OpenSSH developers quietly added and folks have become addicted to. It also enables me to phish any company and get access to all their servers, bypass…
