SGI Irix was ahead of its time, and so were the Nokia Communicator. Battery quality/video quality wasn't up to par for mobile devices. Some DVB-T smartphones were released. Also, WWW wasn't made for touchscreen (where capacit

Warcraft III (I don't know about I and II) was also for PPC (PowerPC / POWER). Why? Well, MacOS / Mac OS X was at some point PPC only. Apple did the conversion from m68k to PPC. Actually, for a while, it was quite tough to ge

There's a lot of awesome females in the infosec community. Check out the podcast Darknet Diaries for a glimpse. Some of the coolest red teaming podcasts were (IMO) with women. In this context, I'd like to mention Dr. Melanie Rieba

I've quit social media (only use Signal and SMS/telephone/email). My wife functions as my secretary in this. I get the perks without the BS. Win-win. Only thing to remember is SMS/telephone/email aren't secure.

On macOS I have a compatibility layer for Linux ip (since I've grown to use it, and besides the BSD ifconfig and route (and friends) has always been different from Linux. But when I am on OPNsense, the only other BSD I use, I don'

That isn't console. That is X11. I've known people who avoided that and who did not use GUI. Or maybe framebuffer (occasionally!). When I use Linux, I use Wayland. You say i3wm? I say SwayWM. Even if you were insisting on X11, the

The thing with Discord and Reddit is: using it means very little. The communities make or break it. For example, I play two games regularly: Wordfeud and Warcraft Rumble. For Wordfeud, I seek no community, I only play it with my mother and

My wife is also on Vinted. We use it also for young children clothing. It is great if you use cheap shipping options, and combine items. For old computer stuff, I gave away quite some stuff to people driving to Ukraine. This then goes to ki

There's no reason Tor exit nodes need to access my home network. Zero. I do use BitTorrent but behind a VPN; this remains unaffected, though if it were I would block traffic which isn't supposed to go through Tor (since BitTorrent

Yeah, true, but I have set it up in such a way that such network is an exposed bridge whereas the other networks created by docker-compose are not. It isn't even possible to reach these from outside. They're not routed, each of th

Either you run a VM inside the VM or indeed two VMs. Jumphost does not require a lot of resources. The problem here is the user does not understand that exposing 8080 on external network means it is reachable by everyone. If you use an inte

I always have to define 'external: true' at the network. Which I don't do with databases. I link it to an internal network, shared with application. You can do the same with your web application, thereby only needing auth on

There's no good reason a VM or container on Hetzner cannot use a firewall like IPTables. If that makes the service too expensive you increase cost or otherwise lower resources. A firewall is a very simple, essential part of network sec

Every guide out there says to link Postgres to the application (the one using Postgres). So the Postgres network is not reachable. Then, even if it were exposed, a firewall would need to be configured to allow access. Then, another thing ev
