It's antisemitic to report the truth?

Ya know they make a valid point. Part of the learning experience growing up and going to school in the 90s and early 00s was figuring out how to bypass the school's restrictions with proxies, or how to load Quake 2 onto every computer in the district so we could sneak and have little impromptu LAN parties, etc. Hell, one of us got caught hacking into the student records portal to change his grades and after he graduated they hired the kid to work in the IT department. He works for a local ISP now.

Nowadays they don't know how to use a computer, they just know how to click icons and get apps from sanctioned app stores.

Because it's all horseshit?

I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right "flair" or some other stupid shit.

There's a whole video game series on why this is a terrible idea. (Horizon Zero Dawn)

I generally do a few things to protect SSH:

  1. Disable password login and use keys only
  2. Install and configure Fail2Ban
  3. Disable root login via ssh altogether. Just change "permit root login" from "no password" to just "no". You can still become root via sudo or su after you're connected, but that would trigger an additional password request. I always connect as a normal user and then use sudo if/when I need it. I don't include NOPASSWD in my sudoers to make certain sudo prompts for a password. Doesn't do any good to force normal user login if sudo doesn't require a password.
  4. If connecting via the same network or IPs, restrict the SSH open port to only the IPs you trust.
  5. I don't have SSH internet visible. I have my own Wireguard server running on a separate raspberry pi and use that to access SSH when I'm away, but SSH itself is not open to the internet or forwarded in the router.

This is one of those things that wouldn't surprise me in the least. Something has felt "off" for a while between him and Russia. But I'm not gonna go spreading it around as if it's fact if I have no evidence.

Because they're not the "default". Most folks stick with whatever comes on their device by default; Edge on Windows, Safari on MacOS/iOS, Chrome on Android, etc. Anything beyond just picking it up and turning it on requires forethought and effort, which most users don't care about.

If I can't get it working on Linux I get a refund. For the past two years my Steam year in reviews have showed 100% of my play time was on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux.

While the individuals have a responsibility to double check things, I think Google is a big part of this. They're rolling "AI" into their search engine, so people are being fed made up, inaccurate bullshit by a search engine that they've trusted for decades.

I've been using DuckDuckGo for years now and it works surprisingly well for me. 9 times out of 10 I find exactly what I'm looking for in the first couple of results. Brave Search is another independent alternative you might look into.

AI generated garbage seems to be cluttering up places like Google.

I hate phillips. It seems like their only purpose for existing is to strip out so that you can never remove them.

Personally, any time I have a project, I always opt for torx (star). The screwdriver bits for them are not tapered so they don't push themselves back out of the screw-head (unlike phillips), so they tend to stay in place and grip much better. It's a lot harder to screw up a torx screw or bit than a phillips one.
