Linux won't avoid this situation. The issue isn't OS, it's complacency.
I knew someone who ran a Linux video server on a hardened Red Hat system to monitor security cameras. He never gave it a second thought until his NOC called him at 3am on a Sunday to tell him they had pulled the network cable to his server because it was launching portscans against the rest of their network.
He did the post-mortem on the server and found the attacker got in through an old SSL vulnerability. He said it was a wake up call. Just because you are running Linux with non-essential services disabled, it's meaningless if you aren't applying security updates.
Bingo. The data will either be sold or "leaked" to the health insurance community. If you want to manage your health, do so under the guidance of a physician or nurse practitioner. Ancestry companies have no business keeping health data.
Exactly what I've seen as well. People just aren't sharing and when they do it's hidden in endless sponsored posts.
What was great about facebook a decade ago was it really was just your friends sharing stories. Now it's a newsfeed full of crap you dont care about.
THIS! I've reported several "Sponsored" posts that were obviously clickbait or outright scams. Not a single one was found to be in violation of Facebook guidelines. It the sponsors check clears, all is good with Facebook.
The final nail in the coffin for my FB account was when I was using the FB app on my phone this past December. I was commuting on the train to downtown Chicago and was watching about 2 hours a day of YouTube videos. Not surprisingly, I got a data usage warning about the 3rd week of December that I was within a gigabyte of my data limit. What was surprising was when I checked my mobile data usage, Facebook used more bandwidth than all my other apps COMBINED (including YouTube). I wasn't checking Facebook during the day at work and the hour trip each way downtown was spent on YouTube. So if I wasn't actively using the app, what was chewing up my bandwidth?
True. Here is my personal experience with a Samsung Galaxy S6.
I've known social media is a sewer of personal information for a long time now, but kept using Facebook because our families are separated by Continents and my closest direct family members are 4 hours away. We post things on our Facebook walls and accepted that anything posted was public knowledge, even when restricting posts to friends and family. In December, I received a mobile data alert from Verizon that we only had 1 GB left on my data plan. This wasn't surprising since I had been commuting via train to downtown Chicago and had spent about an hour each way on YouTube for a week. What WAS surprising was when I checked what had been using the data, Facebook had used more than DOUBLE the amount of data than ALL OTHER APPS COMBINED, including YouTube. I don't check Facebook during the workday either.
My next step was to attempt to uninstall Facebook from my phone, but I was only able to disable the app. Upon doing that, the app was disabled but all updates to the app had been removed as well, so if I ever enable the app again, it will be running without any updates initially.
What's really cool is that this star passes about as close to a black hole as the Voyager probes are from Earth right now. Can you imaging what it would look like if it were that close to our own solar system? What effect would its mass have on our solar system? https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/m...
I loved the camera work and cuts in Interstellar. Same with the soundtrack. What would it take to convince Chris Nolan to take on Clarke's Rama books and transfer to the big screen? Can you imagine seeing the inside of the Rama spacecraft on an IMAX screen?
I agree with the earlier poster who said let them know when you are ready to go. Keep in mind that they may walk you out the door the minute after you tell them you want to retire. With that being said... Most companies have some kind of development plan structure in place for employees to give them room to grow. Initiate a development discussion with your employer and state that one of your development goals for yourself and the company for the year is to plan for retirement. (Where do you see yourself in a year? On a beach sipping margaritas.) This gives them a chance to either find a new hire to work with you on a transition, or an internal employee who might want to broaden their skillset and work with a mentor (you) for the next year or however long the transition is. Mutually agree on a date to leave and invite them to hire you as a contractor or part-time employee if they need additional work done.
It may be a coincidence, but the Tenable Network Security forums seemed to get hit on Tuesday by something. For about an hour, our account got hit with a string of forum responses from Tenable. Then it just stopped. I'm thinking that maybe if you replied to the forum message via email, it didn't go back to Tenable?
Domain registrar is Network Solutions. Contact support, take control the domain after confirming ownership and copy the site to another vendor or host and change DNS. I had a small business admin contact pass away once and I KNOW Network Solutions will work with you to get control back to the appropriate party.
They can't manage their domain, but we're supposed to believe that if we send them $10 they can manage that?
My memory must be faulty. I distinctly remember being able to ALT-TAB between Program Manager and other windows. I also remember while in Program Manager being able open a DOS window from an icon. But why would I when I just wanted to run Word Perfect 5.1 and didn't need Program Manager running to do that?
Don't forget that MS-DOS wasn't the only player out there. Remember IBM-DOS and DR-DOS?
Not everybody can afford a Kindle. My library card didn't cost me a thing to request
Ah, brilliant logic. It didn't cost YOU anything, therefore it is free. Hate to break this to you, but libraries are expensive. Now, I support libraries, but they are not these free resources that just sprout out of the ground. They cost a lot and the money comes from somewhere.
Yeah, the funny thing is my property tax statement itemizes how the taxes I pay each year are divided up. This past year, my tax statement says that $174.20 of my taxes went toward the library. I saw a 6" Kindle on Amazon for $69. Wi-fi only. So even if I purchased or say my property taxes paid for that Kindle, I'd still have to buy Wi-Fi to use it. That's just so I can use it personally. There's no ability to share that Kindle with anybody. And there is nowhere to physically meet the other people in the community.
Now if you think paying $174.20 is expensive for a library, I paid $2,143 to the local school district. I don't have any kids in school, but I still have to pay for the schools. If you wanted to save money so badly, maybe we should stop paying for public schools and use the money to pay for Kindles instead so kids can learn from those.
My library card didn't cost me a thing to request and I can check out as many books as I can read for free as long as they are returned on time. Heck, I can even check out CD's, DVDs and puzzles for my kid.
Public libraries are great sources for local history, in-person social networking, and meetings on how to become more involved in the local community and volunteering.

My wife and I visited Ludington a few years ago. I love the West side of Michigan. We were really impressed by the number of people that turned out on a Saturday morning the week before Memorial Day to plant flowers and beautify the town for Tourist season. If an employer looking for a Senior System Engineer was in Ludington or even Muskegon, we would move there in a heartbeat.

No, it's purely coincidental. We don't have to pay the real one anything!

Agreed. How can a machine differentiate between a priori and a posteriori knowledge? Won't it just consider everything it absorbs as "fact"?
