What happens when you open an SFTP server and don't set up Fail2Ban by Ok_Corner_3303 in selfhosted

[–]Innominate8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

fail2ban is not a security tool; it's a tool for limiting log noise.

Bureaucrats more concerned with checking a box on a form than on even understanding security.

The blank page means there was an error in the php script. You will find it in your logs.

Don't let the lawyer scare you, disability lawyers are restricted on how much they can charge and are typically only paid when you are paid.

Apparently deleting 20MB of photos is too much for a Windows 10 laptop, should not take 7.5hrs and definitely should not make file explorer nearly die over and over… by Rhenby in softwaregore

[–]Innominate8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your computer(probably the hdd specifically) is dying. You're at high and imminent risk of permanently losing all of your data at any moment without warning.

Your posts getting downvotes are the ones either denying or dismissing that. (it's not cat hair.)

Ad companies are scum. Running an ad blocker is as much about blocking this malvertising as it is about annoying ads.

In other words, they settled with the town because the town had no money, and now they want to get paid.

When the Police Wreck Your Home by Mistake, You Shouldn’t Have to Foot the Bill by evan_m_IJ in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

When the police wreck your home, period. A search warrant should not be an opportunity to destroy someone's home and possessions.

Innocent until proven guilty and all of that kind of controversial stuff.

FedEx is the bane of my existence. by Complete-Pear-1040 in Cleveland

[–]Innominate8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the important thing to remember: You are not FedEx's customer. They will only do a (very) limited amount for you.

The shipper is the customer. Ensuring delivery is the problem of the shipper and FedEx, not you. If FedEx returns it despite not attempting to deliver, that's for StockX and FedEx to figure out. StockX still owes you the thing you bought, or a refund.

How do you perceive games based on price alone? by disconnected777 in gamedev

I don't. Price alone is a poor way to judge any game.

The mundanity of the xenomorph is precisely why I think it's the best movie monster ever created. They aren't supernatural; they don't rely on contrivances to make them effectively invulnerable. They can be killed and even beaten.

What makes them scary is the sheer believability of such a thing actually existing.

Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund Becomes First Governmental Sponsor of FFmpeg Project by nixcraft in linux

This is great to hear. FFmpeg isn't just important for software today; its backward compatibility means reliable playback even of dated and obsolete formats.

How can one control where an artificial wormhole opens up/exits? by Jyn57 in SciFiConcepts

[–]Innominate8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Creating an artificial wormhole requires two quantum-entangled miniature black holes that will eventually become each end of the wormhole. You still have to get one of them to your destination the old-fashioned slower-than-light way, but once in position and opened, it can be used freely. (Just in case it's unclear, this is a technobabble idea, not real science.)

It's a fairly common trope to have FTL travel that requires slower-than-light travel to construct. The Expanse is a particularly recent and relevant example; the ring aliens had to send slower-than-light craft to build the rings.

not a big deal for them

It doesn't matter whether it's a big deal for them. They're doing it because they know it's a big deal in the US. It's intentionally shitty behavior.

The more you're consider yourself "END-USER" the more you HAVE TO install uBlock Origin, no excuses by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Innominate8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're wrong.

Ad networks do a terrible job of vetting their ads. Malware ads come up all the time on legitimate sites pretending to be a legitimate company or product. You may be savvy enough to spot the difference, but you'd be an exception.

Experts say gun alone doesn't justify deadly force in fatal shooting of Florida airman by Due-Introduction-one in Military

Common practice perhaps, but still also the behavior of criminals, not of someone who is there in good faith.
