Apache is stable, rarely any security related issues; and even then, it's usually a module not installed/enabled by default. Nginx and Apache are about the same performance, assuming you are on 2.4.x and using the latest apr/

If I jokingly suggested to the gov that AWS S3 be categorized by all firewall vendors as "Anonymous File Sharing", would I get a yuge response?

I forgot to mention, all cellphones come bundled with vendor installed spyware. CarrierIQ is one such example, now owned by AT&T, but there are many of them. They will tell you it is only enabled when your device is in debug mode, but

Are there documented cases of them going after non C-Level folks? If so, their legal team must be massive.

Your laptop/desktop are not secure either. That said, cell phones today have everything... every little bit of everyones life embedded on them. The are on all the time. They are not patched as often as desktop OS's. They are j

Fresh water is potentially as harmful as salt water, depending on how you utilize it. E-Cigs potentially saved my sons life. He grew up around smokers. I had no control over this. Now that he lives with me, I fully support the use of E-C

Just tax the locals and make them buy wind turbines to offset the CO2 output of their volcano if they are unwilling to shut it off.

Have you considered using ipset so that rules don't have to change and ip's can by dynamically added/removed?

That is really cool. FWIW, one could think of downvotes as kudos for thinking differently.

A better analogy would be bacteria in your mouth. For years, you had billions of bacteria in your mouth, slowly disintegrating the enamel of your teeth and slowly burrowing cavities into your teeth. They consume the food you eat, then urin

I am saddened by this. WannaCry was doing a great job of partitioning data from people that should never have been "managing" it in the first place. I was really hoping that a significant portion of my data had been encrypted int

I replaced the engine and transmission in my vehicle at around 220k. I intend to get another 300k out of it, hopefully long enough for the first wave of cars to be remote controlled into the nearest lake and legislation to be passed requir

There are many factors in this, such as proximity to the blast, elevation of the nuke, surface shape and soil/sand content, wind direction, ambient temp, humidity levels, your age, your pre-existing health condition. There are way too

My home ISP can not see my DNS packets. Those are the adversaries I am defending against specifically. All DNS packets on my home ISP are encapsulated in a VPN to my VPS nodes. I also pre-cache popular requests via cron and via settings

I have never owned a smart phone. I have a cheap throw away phone and I love it. I use phones for voice and rarely text. My battery sometimes lasts up to two weeks. This isn't some rebellion against tech. I helped build the first G

I would add that if a car is your only option and if it still runs, you actually should get in it before the wind brings any fallout. Most modern cars have some air filtration. It's not as good as a HEPA filter, but it's better

You should add that it routes in user-space without turning on kernel forwarding, to any node in the network even if they are not directly connected. There are some nice privacy and availability aspects to this.

Sorry, I do not. I set it up manually. While I do have some scripts, they are custom tailored to my network setup. That said, it's really easy to do. You could use the other github scripts that folks have linked for setting up the V

There are use cases that make sense. My home linux router intercepts and sends all DNS and NTP requests, then routes all DNS requests to multiple VPS nodes that in turn, use multiple DNS recursors at each VPS datacenter. I intentionally a

If I were an intelligence agency or signal intelligence, I might argue for this so that I can narrow my attacks to one cipher. Perhaps the mafia or cartel would benefit from this. I can't imagine any other rational to argue for stand

If fixating on a specific cipher is considered to be a standard, then let's deprecate it. I believe that was done in error. The standard should be around how each cipher is implemented in a secure manor, not limiting options to one c
