   This is just my own methodology that I have always followed for my own person hobby sites, but I don't imagine many people do this, nor would they, nor should they. I log access to a ram disk and truncate the logs daily. If I start ha

   Consider being careful with this. Too much of anything can cause damage, regardless of being fat or water soluble. Certainly avoid any advice any study that did not include at least a few million people from every nation in a controlled s

   I am quite certain this article is not correct. The TLD's all have a set price that is paid to the top level registrar regardless of what a domain reseller offers to you. They make up the difference by up-selling other services to th

   Surely there must be a shorter number or string that I can put in my personal information that would be illegal to copy or store. I am ok with being in trouble for having the data, as long as everyone else with the data is in trouble as we

   Back in 1995, the military tried to take my DNA and would not tell me why or what it was for. I refused, escalated up the chain and submitted a FOIA request that went all the way to Al Gore. My unit commander said, "Are you afraid we

   At my work (all B2B SaaS), we have a lot of financial customers that go far down the rabbit hole with us on security and never once have any of them given us grief on DV certs. Most of them also use DV certs. What I don't see much of

   I forgot to mention, if you want to check your existing daemons for these protections, either apt/yum install "checksec", or grab the script from it's maintainer [1] to check running daemons or files. [1] - https:/

    It appears that the default build does not check for libc support of Full RELRO and PIE. Are there any plans to add checks for this, or is it assumed that everyone sets the right CFLAGS and LDFLAGS? I know that Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Alp

    This came up when the root servers for .io were hijacked. It's really the same problem. Short of monitoring for such anomalies, the only saving grace would be HPKP which is just too risky to use outside of mobile apps. Why the attac

    If I control the network, I can strip off any security that might be in DNS. I can change or remove CAA records, DNSSEC, etc. Those things currently fail open, which exception to DNS replication which will take "refresh" time to

    Experience has shown that common sense can augment or even replace statistics. Statistics are great for confirming or rejecting what you knew using common sense.

    Without even reading the article, I would suggest that people should do whatever makes sense to them to protect themselves and their loved ones. Waiting for real world statistics to back you up is additional risk. I would suggest it woul

    xz has substantially better compression than gz or bz2, especially if using the flags -9e. You can use all your cores with -T0 or set how many cores to use. I find it to be on par with 7-zip. Perhaps folks are trying to stick with package

    Perhaps renice your job so that others don't complain about their noisy neighbor. renice 19 -p $$ > /dev/null 2>&1 then ... Use tar + xz to save extra metadata about the file(s), even if it is only 1 file.

    Ah, I was being dense. Thankyou! I've never run anything with nodejs before.

    Perhaps I am being dense, but I don't see a public repo with the source code and technical documentation. Is this an open source framework? What language is it written in?

    Sorry you are getting down-voted. In fact, Intel and AMD have thousands of undocumented instructions that folks have only started [1] to enumerate. Even then, some of the instructions may not be visible through this method of enumeration.

    I don't think that makes it safer to touch the package after peeing in a bottle. Employees are required to wash their hands after using the restroom. I believe that state law may even require it.

    Oh I totally agree. I'm just suggesting that perhaps this also affects the recipients of the packages.

    Doesn't this affect more than the employees? If they are peeing in a bottle, shouldn't they sanitize their hands after touching their package so they can safely handle our packages? Should I be inspecting the inner contents usin

    UPnP / SSDP is a half baked standard will be a thing for the foreseeable future unfortunately. I say half baked, because with just a little effort and critical thinking, users would have full control over the interaction between their

    I do this at home as well, using Unbound DNS to set a min and max TTL. It's taboo on public DNS recursors, but totally makes sense. Some folks try to use DNS as real time load balancers and will set crazy low TTL's like 1 second
