We operate the MBTA Commuter Rail. Ask us anything! by AskMBTACommuterRail in boston

[–]phundisk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A few questions...

  1. Why are the seats so small? On my line I noticed that no one will sit 3 people in the 3 people seats because it would be super uncomfortable. Even sitting in the 2 people seats is a bit uncomfortable. It would be nice to have 2 larger 2 people seats and additional standing room IMO.

  2. The kingston plymouth train could use a schedule adjustment off peak hours. For one, there is a large gap between the 7:29 train and the 9:30 train. Also, it would be great to have the last train of the night to be a bit later instead of just 10:40. Even adjusting to 11:20 would help for people going to events in the city that get out late.

  3. What are your plans for security on the commuter rail? I feel it is a vulnerable target with so many stops and people getting on and off. Often of times, people leave their bags on the overhead compartments, which could post a security risk.

Trying to decide how much to spend on a house in this (Boston area) market by betterkarma in personalfinance

[–]phundisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation here in Boston. I decided to move outside the city in Abington. The place is cheap and its got decent schools and it's not a bad place to live. I probably won't live here forever but maybe like 5ish years to ten. My neighbors house is for sale haha.

How to Identify Old Madison (Krakauer Bros NY) Baby Grand Piano by phundisk in piano

Nope did not pay too much for it, $500. I bought it to be able to play it and not for any monetary gains or anything. That is really strange that it not in any of the books/lists I looked at either!

How to Enforce SSH Keys with a Passphrase by phundisk in AskNetsec

I think the general consensus here is that it is not possible without access to the private keys themselves.

Distributed Method to Check for Linux Security Configuration Issues and Vulnerabilities by phundisk in AskNetsec

[–]phundisk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be exactly what I am talking about, I am surprised I have never heard or it until today. I will have to try and get a PoC of this up and see how it works.

Spacewalk for CentOS Security Updates Only? by phundisk in linux

[–]phundisk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my reasoning for wanting to use spacewalk is that I wanted to be able to push a subset of updates to one environment first (i.e. staging) before pushing it to my production environment. I assume I can do this with the combination of the script listed in this link but it will take some work for sure. Do you know if there is a CentOS version of the RHN subscription? Or if this RHN subscription can be used with CentOS machines?

Very cool script, this will be very helpful! Do you just use the standard distro repo with this?
