    separate SSH is good, thank you, the price delta is reasonable and affordable.
    Additional, larger HD options would be nice. Is it a 9mm or 12mm bay height?
    Does it take a bare drive or require an expensive hard to get replacement sled?
    A good Linux laptop would allow a quick/easy drive swap to experiment with different distributions without putting a working boot layout at risk to alpha/beta quality releases.
    Dis/re-assembly with teeny-tiny screws for swapping drives is such a pain in the petuti.
    In such case as screws which mysteriously evaporate when they reach ground level, are half a dozen spare screws of each size for the entire laptop provided or can they be added for a $1 to the initial order?
    A spare drive with a bootable TAILS partition would be a double plus.

    yeah a separately mountable partition would be preferred, maybe even mirrored to the HD portion for safety, remembering a mirror is not a backup. Hmm, maybe a LTO 6/tape carousel/SSHD meta hybrid, that aint gonna fit in a laptop bay

    the SSD "upgrade" is in place of the HDD. No other HDD options, so you have to buy ANOTHER HDD if you want 1TB or 2TB and install it yourself I assume its a 9mm bay+sled that wont accommodate an older 12mm 2.5 larger capacity drive. Does any body make a 2.5 9mm drive with combined/integrated 16/32/64 GB SSD?.

    I hear those with Trumpettes Syndrome can be really embarrassing in public when every utterance is a shameless, loud and obvious lie, I am sure being seen with such tiny hands and sporting a taxidermists comb forward only makes it worse.

    In the same boat, most positions have me competing with 20+ much younger applicants and I dont think I'm asking for all that much money: $40K as a network/systems admin, I'd even take a slot as an entry level Java programmer.

  13. Include a Raspberry Pi with an opensuse tumbleweed (rolling updates to stay secure) server with privoxy and hosting a TOR exit node. It could double or triple the number of nodes for a measly $580,000.

  19. Re:No way to cut the problem at the root? on Bigger Than Mirai: Leet Botnet Delivers 650 Gbps DDoS Attack (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if some security boffin might publish on github some iptables rate limiting rules in the same vein as dropping inbound ssh connections, but for any outbound IOT device traffic. Perhaps an ISO/ECMA mandated IOT ID byte in the MAC address after vendor ID [FE]? It appears iptables wont match against a MAC Regular Expression in filters.The manpage seems to require requires a fully qualified MAC. In lieu of revising the source code, the logic can be inverted and limit all addresses that aren't specifically allowed, pretty cumbersome, might easier & quicker to revise. Is there a list of vendor MAC ID for the offending devices (dont really care if there are collateral hits on other products from the same vendor, its just a rate limit not a total block, adjust the limit case by case). I wonder how feasible it would be for Cisco, et al. to provide DDOS mitigation access control lists/processors to block such at the source site or ISP.
