Damn I remember hearing this a lot like 15 years ago.

When I first started using KDE and Sway I was so used to the Xfce apps that I installed the xfce4-goodies, running on top of Wayland. So fucking good memories.

I guess we are used to it, I like to use sway in the desktop and KDE in the laptop but I want to run Wayland. And with both of them is possible.

This reminded me of a real life story, from the tip or my tongue so details might be inaccurate, but I remember hearing that a/the main MINIX maintainer, all of the sudden, started getting bug reports or some type of feedback from somebody, that ended up being an Intel employee looking to use MINIX for either ME or AMT.

In short, these hardware devices are 100% capable of having their own independent OS, processes with kernel and all, totally obscured from the end user.

+1 for the WRT router, if you can get a decent device with an enough powerful CPU it can host Transmission

The mascot is tired of running nonstop in that hamster wheel.

Oh no I mean, back then when the BlackBerry was a thing.

Anytime! We should get rid of the security thru obscurity notion that prevailed with Mac and iOS.

The iOS doesn’t disable the port, if you connect to a Linux machine and see the dmesgs you’ll see the phone communicating with the host and reporting lockdown mode so your software can indicate you to unlock the device. But is still sending data about itself, and if you put the device in recovery mode and is vulnerable to a bootrom exploit the contents of the flash could theoretically be dumped without the need for a password. Without mentioning the data that could be extracted and used to profile/fingerprint such as MAC Address, SN, IMEI, ICCID of your SIM, etc…

“The attack against the OpenSSH client (CVE-2025-26465) succeeds regardless of whether the VerifyHostKeyDNS option is set to “yes” or “ask” (its default is “no”), requires no user interaction, and does not depend on the existence of an SSHFP resource record (an SSH fingerprint) in DNS,” explains Qualys.

Thankfully is not enabled by default…

Did you even read that I use Monterey?

You are right, it is not very POSIX compatible anymore. I stopped updating my Mac at Monterey simply because they started doing what seems like a walled garden approach for their operative systems, for the software releases and installing binaries from non-approved sources makes you jump through hoops and is necessary to disable their crap most users won’t touch. But this is not even that old, IIRC it started going downhill when Mac OS X Mavericks was released.

Both being POSIX compatible doesn’t make them related, is just a standard way of deploying portable operating systems from the early days.

Basically, I specifically want cold storage, and not cloud. I will only add, not delete from it. And I don’t want it encrypted.

I have a client with a photographic studio. To give you an estimate, his data is around 14TB of mostly camera pictures with approximately 20 years or history and the owner believe it or not, relies on multiple external hard drives for cold storage, he has a 2TB Seagate thats like 2011-2012 old which still works.

To put in a cupboard tho, M disc is your best bet.

No, is the Aluminum Space Tan color bottle, they also have Mercenary Gun Gray and Bloody Milk Pink.

Was able to get rid of it via safe mode and finding a cleaning tool from rather niche (region-focused) sources.

Is always a Spanish, Portuguese brasileiro or Cyrillic software, I swear.

The first time I heard it, it meant that it was a vuln present since the launch of that version unknown to the publisher, so meaning on day 0 it was possible to exploit it.

Then, when I was studying for a certification I learned they changed the definition to mean it was the number of days a vendor had to patch that vulnerability, and in some cases after being patched these vulnerabilities would get a name assigned to them.

And now, is more of a clickbait word for articles.

I panicked for 2 seconds because I manage a client with hardware that runs an outdated customized vendor provided obscure distro based on Ubuntu that comes with TeamViewer so they can remote and update (strange ik) until I read that it applies for Windows only.

Jajajaj gracias cabrones.
