Wow cool some Latour vibe on Lemmy

Nationalizing banks. Soon enough, we’ll have to. It’s just a question of when at that point.

We should stop using adverbs

Wtf

Yo srsly

This is the transhumanism I like.

Jokes aside, how did you deal with your papers from the past? I do this with all new incoming mail, but I can’t for the life of me find the time to scan the pile of taxes, bills, medical reports, etc. that has accumulated over 3 thousand years of family life.

That’s a good question.

This is great! Do you know about the FOSDEM? The Open Research devroom would be an interested place to hold a talk about it :)

Edit: my comment is shameless self promotion but honest nonetheless

This whole thread (that I shamelessly hijacked) is very informative and allowed me to understand that cybersecurity is in practice a mixture of concrete nerdy log books and vague feeling of being under a threshold of worthiness.

I woke up this morning and there was a faint noise coming from the server: immediately thought “ok that’s it, it’s pawned and become a node in a vast grid of malicious bots”…it was a cron verification of drives

Low hanging fruits are, in my personal case, pictures of my cats and public domain cultural artefacts.

Industrializing hacking of random servers sounds like a shitty idea at the end of the day…

Ignoring ? Nah someone mentionned my ISP might be protecting me uphill.

Non standard port. But aren’t secret chinese hack farm scanning wider than just 22 ? I don’t know and deep down believe that it’s pawned and scrubbing logs.

React2Shell is exactly the shitshow situation yes. Suddenly we are all at risk. But in this case, I’m sorry to say that my cats’ pictures are worthless.

Your point on nginx/wireguard makes me think that it might be better to htaccess through a reverse proxy than relying on a built in login system. For exemple, I should deactivate jellyfin’s login and put it behind an htaccess at the proxy’s level. Is that completely dumb?

Anyway, I clearly need to research “threat models” and cyber/infosec more. Thank you very much!

This is great thanks for this video

Aren’t zero day very specific? Or maybe it’s become a very generic term.

Anyway, I am under the impression that either it’s suddenly very simple to hack into EVERYONE because someone zero dayed the wireguard protocol and there a major flow in it, it’s a shitshow, for all, for some, just me or nobody, whatever. Or it’s a very targeted attack on me personaly, and that’s a whole other story and the means to protect my pictures of my cats and my cool public domain movies collection are different (think social engineering). Also port 22 being bombarded by brute force attempts so don’t choose a password that’s 6 letters thanks.

I KNOW I am missing many things, but still, I don’t get it.

Quick question: If I look through the ssh log and I don’t see the hundred of attempts, what could be going on?..

Yeah sorry I missed the part where it has no authentification whatsoever, that’s just open bar.

Authentification + monitoring + fail2ban + ip blacklist

Okay thanks for mentionning overblown paranoia, that’s what I have.

What kind of exploitable server misconfigurations are we talking about here?? Brute forcing won’t work because fail2ban, right? I’m a noob and deep down I’m convinced that my homeserver is compromised and has beenpart of a bitcoin mining farm for years… Yet, not a single proof…

Dumb question: why does everyone is so terribly afraid of opening stuff to the internet ? What’s the scenario?
