Yup. Got the pop-up about being out of free articles. Opened a browser I never use (with no ad blocker… Cause I never use it) so I got to experience the site with ads.
The entire experience was hilariously ironic to read about service’s enshitification… While being bombarded with constant ad garbage.
Bye bye wired. That was a waste of my time.
How about just basic network home directory support? It’d be nifty if I could still open Firefox when my home directory is NFS/autofs
Ok I’ll bite. What’s the software you “need”?
Beeper predates this new iMessage thing by a few years. You just hadn’t heard of them apparently.
See news story from 2021:
That’s the app OP is talking about ‘selling out’ to advertisers.
It’s a sensational headline, sure - but I manage a few 200TB single unit servers at work and my cell phone has more than 20x the storage the computer I took to college had, and probably 20x faster.
To claim what you are ignores the significant improvements we’ve seen in the past 2 decades.
“A decade”?! Try 2
Install Linux and this is the way.
So go to Walmart on your way to the oil change place.
OR - admit you’re not really going to Walmart and just pay them to get it done.
If you think ClamAV on your mom’s laptop on Starbucks WiFi is doing anything useful, but you think fail2ban isn’t - you’re naive.
On phishing - you’ve got another great example. ublock origin or any other decent adblocker will do WAAAAY more to help than ClamAV.
Ideally you keep your configs in a git repo (like github). You know what’s modified because you’re the one who modified them. If you modify them - put that config file in the git repo.
As for “put down” I just meant copied to the system (from github) by your automation (like ansible)

Sounds like you’ve got a better solution, but I think you forgot to mention what it was.
That, and:
Basically: put everything back as it was right before the ransomware encrypted your system on you.
Then of course - fix what you did wrong that got you compromised. ;-)
No, most desktops behind a NAT probably dont need fail2ban (though it wouldn’t hurt).
Everyone’s security profile/needs are different.
The point is that list does a hell of a lot more useful than ClamAV
Yikes I didn’t even think about the weight! Hopefully that’s on a concrete slab
You’d be better served learning how to setup and use:
Hi - been a sysadmin for 19 years and I can tell you why: software that ‘requires’ Ubuntu. I work at a University and all of our required software runs on either RHEL or Ubuntu. I would LOVE to move everything to RHEL and rid my life of Canonical shenanigans, but we have software that just won’t run (in any sane form) on RHEL. The researchers especially love Ubuntu because much of the software used in the LLM/AI explosion is generally released with Ubuntu packages, or install instructions based on Ubuntu package dependencies.
tl;dr - it’s not the sysadmin choosing, it’s the developer choosing.
No problem. If you can’t get it working hit me up and I’ll see what I can do to help.
He’s the one we need, but not the one we deserve.
