Might throw some off but that is NetBios and things will totally go for that because Windows is terrible for security.
All my stuff avoids anything below 1000 or that ends in 22 because most people will just go 2222 or 1022. pick a random number between 1001 and 65000
assuming they are not behind a CGN whitelisting your mates place should be OK. But I would also move SSH away from a well known port. In the event something happens to the whitelist, crawlers will not jump on you straight away.
In an absolute sense, yes a modem can spy on you by hijacking requests and redirecting them to controlled locations. We use TLS to prevent this, even stronger with technologies like HSTS.
Does this happen in real life though? More then you think, but less of an impact then you think.
Some US providers will hijack DNS requests and redirect them to their own DNS servers, but this can be solved with DOH or DOT.
TLS interception is a thing but it requires the device you are using (phone, PC, tablet, laptop) to have a root certificate installed that the ISP also controls. Almost all browsers will only install root certificates from root certificate providers with good standing and have no quarm in untrusing the root certificate if things go badly.
Windows can’t even get their own UI right.
Look at the win10 control panel. Nearly a decade later and we still have to use the classic control panel to change settings.
Let’s flip this question. Why do you think an organisation should get my data?
Are they reputable? Are they secure? Are they domiciled in my country and follow the laws of my country?
Replacing the UPS batteries is required maintenance.
Compare the cost of new batteries to a new UPS and realise it’s the cheaper option.
Ideally this will be less of a concern in the future, when the vast majority of organizations no longer have utter shit for Cybersecurity.
Oh you optimistic madlad, never change.
I’m installing a firewall in my kitchen.
In case the cooktop catches fire?
No, in case my coffee pot gets hacked and joins a botnet.
You can and Qbittorrent has this functionality built in. You set your in progress download folder to be the SSD then set the move when completed to your HDD.
As for the size, that would depend on how much you are downloading.
Not one uses IIS.
How sure are you about that? I work for a global MSP and see it all the time.
Teams is built on top of the old SKYPE infrastructure. It is a bastardisation of Skype (communications) and SharePoint (data storage)
As it is built on Skype, all the acces Leo had as part of Skype still exist. MS is a US org and have the legal requirements to tap communications for Leo.
Had a Centos VM that kept slipping time. Every week it would loose about 30min. No amount of NTP syncing got the time correct until manual intervention.
Msp couldn’t work it out, couldn’t rebuild the server for infrastructure reasons, and only that server had the issue. The other 3 VMs on that host were fine.
Cron job on one server took it current time, sshed to the dodgy server and configured the correct time.
Correct horse battery staple
Need to pad those passwords.
At some point they will do a Redis or Terraform and say no more open source, pay us to use it.
All contributions are now owned by us and not by the person who wrote it.
Sorry, RPM is rotations per minute. How fast the drive platers are spinning inside the drive. Also 7200 is fine for what you are doing.
Rpm is a thing to look at. A 7,200 drive is faster than a 4,200, but slower than a 10,000.
As a single file? Likely 20GB iso.
As a collective job, 3TB of videos between hard drives for Jellyfin.
Depends where in the world you are.
We use A in Australia and from what I have seen in western Europe A is also used more.
Doesn’t DoH and DoT completely kill this?
