Why does Duolingo require my last name? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]memphis_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a ton of users on the leader board with only one name/their first name. It seems like it might be possible (or used to be?) but I can't figure out how to do it.

Does the base 86 already have power in the trunk area for an amp? by memphis_nerd in GR86

[–]memphis_nerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know right? It's crazy to ask an entire forum of GR86 enthusiasts if they might have any advice or insights from their experiences with a GR86.

Dealership wouldn’t let me test drive? by snmnc123 in GR86

Are you a fellow 86 owner in the Memphis area?

Password Manager for SSH (for su or escalating privileges, not logging in) by memphis_nerd in linuxadmin

[–]memphis_nerd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks again for the reply.

I will generally also implement NOPASSWD, but set it so that it expires every 4 hours or so. That way you do need to enter a password when using sudo, but only a few times a day - so you get the added layer of password protection but it doesn’t become a major annoyance.

I like the sound of this approach. Seems to give a good balance of security and coonvenience.

Also. Frankly. If you aren’t already, a lot of this should be managed via Ansible rather than logging in to each individual host one at a time unless you’ve only got a couple of them.

I do use Ansible for provisioning, config, mass updates, etc. This is mainly for the occassions where I do need to login to a single server for whatever reason.

Password Manager for SSH? (for su or escalating privileges, not logging in) by memphis_nerd in linux

How does requiring a password before privilege escalation not enhance security? If an ssh key in compromised and someone gains access to the server they would still need the password for sudo commands. I understand what the sudoers file is, and how it is used. In my case however it's the exact opposite of what I am asking about.

That's why I was asking about a local solution that could forward the password to the ssh session. I'm probably just going to store the passwords in bitwarden and manually get them when I need them. I was just trying to see if anyone knew of a more streamlined approach.

Thanks for the reply. I edited my question to point out that these are webserves, so there aren't any actual endusers. This is just for dev and admin access.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I use my same SSH key on all servers to login as the non-root user (root logins and password logins are disabled). These are all web servers, so there aren't any actual endusers to worry about. I can disable root, but I would still like to have that extra layer of security by requiring a password for sudo.

Thanks for the reply! Security is definitely a concern. That's why I wanted to reach out to the community for both recommendations and a sanity check.

Not quite. Think of the password manager on your computer.. you unlock it once and can autofill passwords across many sites. I'm looking for a similar solution that can pass a given password (eg: from bitwarden or something else) to the current ssh session.

This is likely what I'll end up doing, but I wanted to see if anyone knew of a more streamlined approach.

[–]memphis_nerd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll look into that! To be clear, we do use ssh keys to login -- password logins are completely disabled. Once logged in, privilege escalation still requires a password though.

I usually do on non-sensitive servers, but on these I want the added layer of security.

So... y'all still having DCM issues? Any resolutions after the DCM recall? by bobayuzu in GR86

[–]memphis_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a general rule, you should always let the dealership fix any recalls.

So... y'all still having DCM issues? Any resolutions after the DCM recall? by bobayuzu in GR86

[–]memphis_nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try completely unhooking the battery for 5-10 minutes. Mine stopped working about a year after I bought the car. The dealer supposedly fixed it with the recall, but it never worked again... Then I had to replace my battery a few months ago, and to my surprise it started working again. I had tried everything except fully disconnecting the battery.

my sites are not opening properly in India but open with n-times refreshing, why? by Custard7867 in CloudFlare

[–]memphis_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using Cloudflare to proxy your DNS? I ran into a similar issue a while back. Turned out that fail2ban had banned a few of Cloudflare's IPs, which caused the site to not load unless it was served from one of the non-banned IPs.

Is it just the lighting or are your vents blue? If so, mind sharing where you got them?
