Doesn’t it help to mitigate DoS type attacks by reducing the amount of CPU that a bad actor can burn?

You can do it with ufw limit too

No. Chrome OS is an OS using the Linux kernel and a custom userland.

Android is also not "Linux".

Chrome/Linux instead of GNU/Linux?

I'm a big fan of their "Seek" app and have used it a bunch. It has a similar "game" loop like Pokemon Go, but without any mtx, plus you learn a lot about your local ecosystems.

If you have kids I highly recommend pulling out the app during a nature walk.

I do the same thing with the iNatutalist app. I joke with my wife that I'm filling out my Pokedex. Currently at 164 species.

For me it's Pelican and cloudflare pages. I've got a GitHub action that rebuilds the site whenever I commit changes. Completely free. Super fast. Pelican is easy to theme and my site is one of the fastest out there.

Now if only I ever felt like writing anything. It's been five years.

To play devil's advocate -- you have to think about bad actors though.

What if that makes someone think, I can do zero work at my job and I'll get paid regardless? Or they do a super bare minimum, being incredibly unhelpful to everyone and their whole team hates them?

Now you're going to have courts deciding what constitutes grounds for firing and what doesn't, if performance was above or below a super bare minimum, how that's defined for a programming job, etc.

Lots of people already do this.

That seems pretty stupid.

While they're at it, why not update the SSH warning banner with a list of what we do and don't log on this system. As a courtesy to their adversary.

This sudo message has been the same since the dawn of time. There is literally no reason to correct it. This is the one place you don't want to be pedantic, leaking security configuration via stderr.

Not the op, but... The video chat my company uses is indeed a critical work software.

The 27 other obscure video chats that people around the world use, though, are not. And they all want to dig their claws into your registry and drive and startup. And then flash incomprehensible error messages on reboot. And constantly run in background and uodate and ask for ever more permissions.

100% this. We used Google Meet. I had no interest in installing any apps for meetings with external parties.

In other words, you would like the docker persistence model and hand roll it?
discreditable · 2 years ago
The wsb file and script to do this might be like 20 lines and doesn't require installing docker.

I have used it for a while and this is the first I’m hearing about wsb files. Do you have a link?
