Only when it benefits them. That applies to all they do.

I wonder how life is for them. I see everything in images, wether someone’s talking, or even if i’m reading.

Thank you! I don’t mind buying books that are useful, work pays for that ;-)

As much as possible, yes

You mentioned a book though… Now i’m curious ;-)

The reason i chose Step CA over openSSL is because with step CA you can automate certificate renewal without any manual intervention. I don’t know how that would work with openSSL except some heavy scripting?

Given with whats happening elsewhere in the world, how people “over there” think about climate change, i sometimes think we’ll just kill off humanity.

And thats okay. The world will keep spinning. A new apex species will arise. Hopefully they will spend their time and energy better then the current species. Maybe they even find ways to get off this planet before it’s beeing eaten by the sun. We certainly won’t.

Ahhh the darkness of beeing me :)

No. But you seem to be. I think you have a weird sense of humor.

If you want everything on your local lan to have SSL, look into Step CA. Its not completely beginners friendly, but if you’re serious about selfhosting you will manage to set it up :) Caddy works with it also, and their examples are very helpful.

And how does this work when you expect a binary of someone else’s package in a certain location?

Are you trolling or what?

I simply don’t argue anymore. I choose my discussion partners wisely.

Less drama, i suppose.

As others have said, Linux Security is a very broad topic. But the main thing is keeping your system updated, only install packages from your distro’s repositories, install a firewall and don’t install anything you don’t need should go a long way :)

For example, i use Alpine Linux as a desktop OS. This means i only install packages through apk, from the Alpine repositories. I run apk update and apk upgrade commands every friday. I use Flathub for most desktop software which i also update weekly. (To be even more secure, only install verified flatpak’s). my firewall has no incoming ports open (really not needed on my desktop). And i keep myself updated with the latest news regarding Alpine Linux, and Linux in general. So i am aware of most vulnerabilities as they are published. This is a pretty secure system.

Later on if you want even more security you can start following the CIS guidelines for your favorite distro, but the above should be a good start.

But good security is not just jeeping your system updated, it also means you have good backups in place, in case randsomware hits your system. And then there’s also the monitoring of your system for suspicious behaviour :) But these are far more advanced topics!

Not sure why you’re downvoted as you are mostly correct.

I’m a linux user myself but i work for an msp so i manage corporate windows machines, and they mostly work just fine. But i must admit, when i take over a screen and i see the constant nagging to use a microsoft account, or onedrive, or copilot (granted, when you use Microsoft for corporate use you really have no choice but to use a microsoft account) It does make me glad i use Linux.

And our devices are almost always over $1000 so not exactly cheap machines either :)

What was wrong with the feather? I know some native american groups where against it, but i never read any good article that explained WHY they where?

Actually, i’m learning to Go to do just that. GPO’s are basicly just configuration management. And there’s Ansible, Chef, Puppet. These all work on Linux.

And why is that?

Alpine Linux has been my go to OS for things like servers and NAS’s. Its small, rock stable, and can run on basically anything thay has a floppydrive ;-)

But we could have… If we spend as much om science as we did on war, since the dawn of mankind, i’m convinced we could have :)

Piefy’s.
