SSH clients don't access Internet Explorer's root certificate list. In fact, I'm fairly certain they don't even SUPPORT certificate signing, you have to import them yourself. If someone is MITM'ing your SSH session, you fucked up BAD!
Picture an old-school telephone operator sitting in front of a plug board. Now imagine the phone company decided that it was YOUR job to run the plug board. Now imagine that they didn't tell you which cables went where, which plugs went where or where the plugboard was located. That's the situation Linus has been put in regarding Nvidia hardware.
Nobody is asking them to! In fact, most people don't even WANT them to. All they want are enough specs/documentation so they write the drivers for them.
When a company drops support for their hardware, the drivers don't magically VANISH, you can still run them. You may need to use a downgraded kernel, but it will still work!
Not really. If they are only hitting your router, then they use a little bit of download bandwidth and a little bit of upload bandwidth. If they hit the SERVER and it responds, then you are also wasting a TON of upload bandwidth (the expensive bandwidth).
Many distributions have their own list that will post security warnings for software they distribute. FreeBSD (technically not Linux), does a GREAT job of that with not only a mailing list, but a special utility (portaudit) that just checks for warnings about the software you have installed. Many FreeBSD people have portaudit run in cron and e-mail them any problems (so you don't have to sift through all the warnings for software you don't use).
What part of "simple webserver at home to host a couple hobby websites and a blog" did you miss? It doesn't sound like he's planning to run a forum or high-traffic site here.
@halcyon1234 Honestly, all you *really* need to do at the OS security level is get a router and only forward the web and ssh ports then use iptables to block problem-ips. Just make sure you set up keypair login for ssh and DISABLE password login completely. Of course you'll need to secure your website itself, but you hopefully already did that when running on the shared server.
If you tend to get a fair bit of traffic (or attract unruly visitors), put your private lan on a second router that is connected to the one with the server (so the server has no access to the rest of your network). This way if the server DOES get compromised, your network is still safe:)
So the summary goes on and on about these back-and-forth videos, so where the hell are they?!? I even checked the article, and guess what I found? Screenshots of youtube! I kid you not.
If your local drug dealers are running 30 year old buicks, they're failing at drug dealing! A few months ago the cops in our area chased a dozen brand new Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and other similar vehicles that were street racing on the freeway. All of them were paid for by drug money.

Or just don't do banking on your work computer. God knows how many keyloggers are sitting on those machines.

As much as I agree that Linux should be taken seriously by Nvidia, I highly doubt Nvidia considers "wireless routers" as potential video card sales...
I disagree. Intel appears to have the best driver support for Linux by a fairly wide margin. Especially with regard to laptops.

No, anonymous online accounts with full encryption will be.

If You're talking about ssh login attempts, don't even use passwords. Set up public-private keys and disable password login entirely.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have dirt-cheap ISP's like you. Pretty much anyone can rent from any VPS provider though.

We' (Canadians) are not forced to get them, but we ARE forced to pay for them, whether we ask for the "free" upgrade every year or not.
The hell does that have to do with virtual machines (or vehicles for that matter)?!?
I never said anything about killing Canadians, just doing the killing in Canada. We LOVE to import "stuff" from back east!
Yes, but it's only a $0.10 per displayed image tax, so it's actually not that bad.
And a honda civic runs on a toyota 4runner. If you put it on a trailer.
Yeah, I believe they call it the "border".

The developer that finds out what the judging system is synchronized to is even MORE likely to win!

There isn't just one game changing event in history...
Some would argue that "fire" would fall into that category.
Not in Canada.
than hitting a stationary object (wall) that has no crumple zone
Fine, so a wall isn't the best example of "no crumple zone", how about a metal bridge then?
