And how many civilians do you know that can do that? But we let them anyway. I know sysadmins whose knowledge of CVEs amounts to a "what's that?" answer.
The sales efforts to ensure that we're all using SaaS, popular websites, and social media with new bright shiny stuff that can store photos, too, all makes everyone fail to remember that these machines are loaded with their assets, and they need to understand them to protect those assets. Nah, you make more money by selling them a new hard drive and some AV stuff.
Sorry-- I never explain conspiracy when sloth and making another buck is the better explanation.
And there's a future network to avoid like the plague. Here's a violent, nasty hustler, bare on facts (see his madness with the Tesla for a good example), and at most a boor and bore. Oh, right......
Everyone wants growth, but there are limits. Sustainability helps increase them, but eventually, the limits will be found. No one wants to talk about population control, which is the smarter idea-- and is fought by our biological drives.
Ummm, no. Although this happens, an increasing amount of silage and dark waters have contaminated many crops, and not just in CA. Were we to actually PROCESS the silage in a way that stanches e.coli, salmonella, protozoa, and other contaminants ranging from aspergillus to non-fungals and unknowns, a vast amount of efficiencies increase.
The best idea, IMHO, is to deploy widely sustainable practices that involve the highly fluctuating variables of rain, market fluctuations, and yields. Too much of this revolves around dice-rolling techniques, and "I'm gonna be rich if I plant a few orchards" mentality. No one likes the edicts of public policy, but simple planning goes a long way towards sustainability.
Our current opaque public policy mechanisms prohibit this.
Tangible vs intangible is a huge difference. Ten years is a stiff deterrent and doesn't really fit either crime, depending on the value. In the case of say, check/cheque fraud, forgery for gain, converting property/conversion, these have a directly cost that can be calculated and audited. Intangibles, the crux of various publishers, is more difficult to do.
Although stealing is horrendous, the RIAA/MPAA/publisher's actual injuries/damages aren't what they claim them to be, IMHO. Ten years is too much.
I'd say: yes, do it, with your children's consent. No consent? Don't do it. Tell them at 16, they have to make a choice, and tell them what it means to them. Remember that twenty years in the future, many parts of the world will mature. Which one matures for them means having choices.
If you had a valid, uncompromised version of firmware, and were able to substitute it, and look at the streams, you could compare one stream to the other, uncompromised vs suspect. At some point, to do its work, the suspect firmware has to cough something different, be it an altered MBR, or something else to allow it to do its job. Otherwise, its sits in firmware forever doing nothing. There needs to be a routine, an exercise, comparing known vs unknown to assess what it does to a stream, or to infect/root its host.
I get the feeling that the NSA attack is likely focused on a fairly select few, otherwise the C&C traffic would be heavy enough to otherwise detect. A rooted machine may stay asleep for a long time, perhaps forever, but at some point, it has to wake up. Change your IP address to a CIDR block in Iraq and see if your router suddenly lights up.
Summary: to do its work, it has to either talk to something or infect/root the kernel or something the kernel uses a lot, otherwise, it's useless except as a local attack. It has to assert itself, and using known vs unknown analysis is perhaps the only real way of making it show its footprints in the snow.
You have a lot of rational paranoia here. Tin foil or no, I often wonder if some of the VPN services are just honeypots.
There's always spinning up free instances in Azure or another host like AWS, and trying your hand there; at least the circuits would be somewhat secure. But if you're doing something at a monitored host and its record list is tracked, your IP access would at least be tracked. You might need several of these in a tawdry, highly latent chain to make things tough. That said, for some that need this, diligence might pay off. For others using such circuits for evil, I wish them failure.
First, use grub2 to set alternate boots. Not tough. Second, use rsyslog or install syslog-ng to push out the logs to a log server so you can see why it goes down. Third, BIOS is still the longest part of my boots; not sure what you're using. Fourth, the file format you loathe is easy pushed back to half-ASCII if you simply must; you can ask chron to push it for you regularly, if you're really anal.
As far as stability is concerned, mine are just fine, thanks, doing their jobs nicely. This.ini problem you speak of is no different from the madness of other conf files that permeate the landscape, and prior versions are worse. I can squirt plentiful relevant system calls to one freaking spot, not eleven, and not nineteen different goofball apps twisting relevant settings through backdoors going back to Minix. I call that progress. It enforces a little discipline.
Oh, sure. Are you sure it wasn't the fact that all of the Sun engineers exited for greener pastures, and Oracle left the openness in a ditch? Took all of Schwartz's pile of open goodies and stepped on them like they were cockroaches?
Along the way, your RHEL6 will be fine, and it will grow cold, like they all do, as will your skills. I don't particularly care for systemd, but I learned it in a couple of hours, and yeah, it works.
I've been doing Unices for longer than most slashdotters have been alive, a very long time. This isn't much to get outraged over. Many changes meet resistance. I saw this changeover first in Solaris; I knew it was coming. First few times, PITA. Now, I shrug.
Stuff is going to change. This one's for the better, IMHO. I would change other stuff, too, but that's another thread. This one was ripe. If it's too hot in the kitchen, go back to the dining room. Find another dining room. Linux has more darwinism in it than any other OS I've seen. I used think that fact was forboding, but it's not. It's pressured evolution.
Wrong question. The problems that led to systemd weren't built in a day/week/month/year, and neither will be the maturity that it needs to work.
Regardless of how shitty? If you're unaware of bad implementations, I can suggest many places to turn towards to find pretty ugly stuff, no matter the OS. The pain of systemd passes easily. Not rocket science. Pretty consistent.
It's my humble opinion that if systemd stops you cold, you ought to be in another profession. Just surrender your capacity to adapt and move on, hang up your holster and belt, and go into automotive tech or something else where the rules change less frequently.
Using systemd isn't rocket science. It a simple change that cleans up a lot of old code and retirement plan permutations.
Maybe I get marked as troll. Guys that can't think out of an ipconfig box need to embrace their brittleness and just bug out into early BSD or similar. The world's gonna pass you by.
I would agree, and add that we haven't seen the end of this, as HTML5 is changing everything. Chrome development seems to not only be heavy-handed, but sometimes smacks of the old days of Microsoft in terms of compatibility/heterogeneity. Plodding as it might be, I'll take FF, just like I'll wait for Debian to do something. I seem to be rewarded by being a little patient.
The revenue per subscriber is way off, too. Consider a base charge, Spotify, NetFlix, Apple/Microsoft/Google/Amazon TV, SmartHome/Alarms, and all the other value-add/combo services. Revenues 2x that price aren't out of the questions. Say-- $110/mo.
Add in the fact that the citizens, and the local govs have the rights-of-way, easements, and knowledge of the underground infrastructure. High-density installations benefit first, but whole suburbs can be serviced without huge capital outlays.
Not magic at all. I have solar panels and electron wells. Wind energy around my environs is much tougher. The power company here burns coal. The less of their electricity that I use, the less coal that burns.
To your point, however, once a cogent third party says Yucca is safe over that term, the happier I am. The NRC is a self-serving adjudicator of this sort of information, and frankly, I have little reason to trust them.
E85 lacks basic energy, not to mention the hideous cost of manufacturing. Methane recovery is a great idea and there's an abundance of methane (just look at Congress-- they need a dome over the dome).
Ultimately, producing heat for use with transducers just isn't going to work, and doesn't scale. Passive solar scales. Active solar (wind/volcanic) lunar (yeah, waves) are all vastly underdeveloped resources where at least the energy coefficient comes free-- the transducers and business models cost.
Nevada already has its own background radiation levels problem. Part of this is to stick it to Harry Reid.
Just because the NRC says it's ok, there's no third party corroboration that ground water contamination won't be a problem soon, and then for another half-million years. Yes, something needs to be done with the waste, but I'm hoping for a future disposal method that brings the waste to the average background radiation levels tolerable by simple burying.
You admit, ipso facto, Google knows, and the advertiser knows. That they don't serve it on a silver platter is just a detail.
Don't give your permission, how? Decide what conglomeration has access and which doesn't? Geemenie, we can't get people to stop using 123456 as a freaking password. These devices, IMHO, are predatory! Yeah, we'll disable them.
Then the voice recognition and auto-recognition software in the AV system in the living room party will rat out all of the participants. We have to change this opt-out mentality, as if everyone has tacit permission to begin with. Who, when, ever does anyone ever get anything like "serious consequences for failing to comply with such requests" when law enforcement barely knows their shoes from shinola? It's grab first, and don't audit later.
You trust these people, and they are stealing you blind, and will continue to do so until it becomes very difficult for them to continue. Google didn't get rich by hiding people's data. Didn't happen that way. If you work for them, you're part of the problem, IMHO.
Yeah, tie things up in the legislature. How many other blocks do you wanna throw up before it becomes a moral issue for you?
Slashdot Mirror
Right.

I disagree with all, and Tesla didn't get a good shake at all, IMHO. Tesla's not god, but they didn't get a fair shake.

They're *your* assets, CDs, pics, but also the personal bits about your identity. What's your identity worth?

That's their retail value. If you're suing Anthem in a class action because of their breach, the value will be astoundingly different.
A nice VPN is a great idea. The very idea that your privacy is worth such a pittance is really insulting.
Not broken. It's an improvement. Devices needed organization. It's not a perfect solution. Nothing is.
Slow down. We disagree on all your points.
First, use grub2 to set alternate boots. Not tough.
Second, use rsyslog or install syslog-ng to push out the logs to a log server so you can see why it goes down.
