From what I've read, TCPKeepAlive can be a good or a bad thing. On the one hand, sending a packet every now and then can dissuade a middle box from dropping the connection. On the other hand, if the connection is temporarily not working and would have started working again a few minutes later the attempt to send an unnecessary packet could cause the connection to break permanently when it wouldn't otherwise have broken. I suppose that next time I have a recurring problem I should try both.

Sharing in case this can help you in the future, this is what works for me with Termux in .ssh/config

  ServerAliveInterval 120
  ServerAliveCountMax 30
  TCPKeepAlive yes

I bought Juice pro many years ago and use it daily on my phone and Tablet. I like how it gives my one click access to my handful of servers, and I liked the syncing between devices. I started using Termux last week and it seems like a decent alternative. The copy and paste is nicer on JuiceSSH, and I think it is more immune from getting disconnected if you switch to another app during a session.

Have you looked into enabling ssh keep alive/server alive?

That's pretty common with any alarm system not just Ring. I know you get the first false alarm with a response for free. After that, fines/tickets are issued. It might have been 2 free can't remember as it's been a long time since the alarm was installed and info was provided. This was in Dallas specifically before I go painting with too broad of a brush. Even further back, I had an alarm system installed, but never paid for monitoring. They also warned about fines after too many false reports, and that was a tiny town waaaay outside of Dallas.

Nothing against that per se, false alarms should be kept in check.

If you have a system where, as I understand it, the main point is to check who is standing in front of your door, and that system now is one automatic update away from dipping into your bank account... How long until the police departments figure out that donations to a specific company could be very profitable?

Slight tangent: on top of that, I just read an article yesterday (which of course I can't find again right now) about how false automatic alarms from such cameras will incur a fee from the owners when the Police comes to check it out. It was from somewhere in Texas.

It happens everywhere, not only in the middle east, not only with religion. People who crave control rise to the top, apply tight control to stay there, kill creativity in the process.

> Change root password

Don't do this; just create a new user and give it sudo privileges.

The utility of changing the SSH port is debatable, but it would lead to less noise in logs. Also, instead of limiting SSH connections to a source IP, you might consider putting the server behind Tailscale and only allowing incoming SSH connections over its interface: https://tailscale.com/kb/1077/secure-server-ubuntu (this also solves the logs problem)

Squeeeez · 5 months ago

And so, instead of having an open port for ssh, (ideally) with certificate-only authentication, optionally MFA, you trade it for an open port for tailscale/wireguard, handing over "all" your data to a company who is offering you a service for no monetary compensation.

Also, why do you think that it is better to not change the root password? It sounds like a very suspicious recommendation.

But the first time it was due to be handled privately and this time by the state. And that was one of the main arguments against it at the time. So I don't think the GP is that far from the truth.

Note that when the Swiss government says "handled by the state" it means it will usually be handled by the lowest-bidding consulting company.

This being HN, I expect most people on here are American and view social topics from an American perspective. Swiss have a level of trust in their governments that Americans could never even dream of. The pros and cons of this debate are not necessarily about whether the current government or a near future one will abuse it. But I feel that Americans on here (as well as folks living in countries with low government trust) are projecting their low trust views onto other countries and thus concluding that the current swiss government or a near future one cannot be trusted with this power.

Squeeeez · 5 months ago

Swiss here, and I do not agree. We used to be able to trust our government, but more and more, as the years go by, tech-savvy people realize how laws have accumulated into surveillance.

Now there are much worse cases out there, sure. But most Swiss citizens are not even aware of those laws.

Nor are they aware of how much the Swiss government has been trying to hide its incompetence regarding anything IT-related. Like data leaks happening several times per year.

So yes, a big percentage of those almost 50% of "no we don't want this" responses were about lack of trust in the different branches of the government.

Looking at the examples on the website, I can see the appeal regarding the input. The output makes my head slightly dizzy - not sure why, but like the letters are all slightly off, in both dimensions. Is it just me, or the font/screen combination, or did it occur to anyone else also?

Wouldn't banning the breeding of any invasive animal work? Sure keep one as a pet if your into exotic pets, but you are responsible for making sure that snake dosnt reproduce.

Also allowing year round unrestricted hunting of these invasive pests would help.

People like guns and they love hunting. Some things they can only hunt at specific times....but if you tell them they could hunt as many as they want year round you would suddenly see a bunch of people figuring out how to hunt a snake with rifles or other weapons.

Squeeeez · 6 months ago

From my understanding, hunting is already allowed, and they also have a bounty program: https://www.sfwmd.gov/our-work/python-program

As an aside, and in a different, "Python Removal Agent" is certainly a worthy title for any of us.
