Everybody is totally going to be safe from Meltdown. My H81M-P Plus had an update released Jan 3, marked beta, with the note "update microcode 0x23". Won't install it yet, even though it's just a microcode update it's a beta. From Asus. I don't trust them after a bad experience fifteen years ago lol.

CLAM DOWN posted:What are the odds Oracle releases anti-Spectre microcode updates for SPARC processors lmao gently caress my life It would be *so* awesome if the greybeard inventors of SPARC came out of hiding after a couple of weeks of hacking and published just this. Like, they just took the time from retirement to do that. But hey are SPARC processors vulnerable anyway?

À propos HTTPS and 301 stuff, I've been away from the web scene for a while and imagine my surprise when I discovered that you can just use a thing called certbot to install valid, public certificates for your hosts without the hassle of buying them or adding your own CA for development. it's awesome and why didn't anyone thing of doing that sooner?

I just use "pass" for linux, I like the structure and GPG nature of it. But I also carry my private GPG and SSH keys on a USB stick on my keychain if I need to SSH into a server from a random computer so I guess I don't care about security at all? I guess that if anyone found me dead they wouldn't know what to do with those files and if I had a high-security job I'd do things differently. All I know is that I've virtualized my BankID two-factor with an app on my phone protected with my fingerprint and not the dongle so I'm safe enough.

Use Mullvad if you need VPN. They take cash. I also hear OK things about ExpressVPN.

I long for the day sites and services require 2FA at account creation, but only via Authy or Bitwarden or similar, because lord SMS 2FA is stupid because of how easy it is to socially engineer or directly hack. At least in my neck of the woods replacing a SIM requires valid ID but it's exploitable by smooth talking in some cases, or corruption in general... Like how there was a scandal with our equivalent of the DMV where one department had a rascal that gave out drivers licenses to whomever willing to pay for it, forging test results etc.

I've used all of them extensively and now it's Bitwarden for life. Like to pay for your pw manager? 5$/yr if you want to - but you don't have to. Afraid of their cloud security? Host your own server. Afraid of the app's security? It's open source, compile it yourself. If you are a masochist. Otherwise rely on others' eyes to confirm it's cool and good and not stealing / pwning your gibson. User friendly like 1password? Yup. Available on all platforms? Yup. Hand's down the best. F4rt5 fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Feb 17, 2021 |

One of our biggest security firms has a system that is set up so that to update the code, you log on through labyrinthian multi-hop terminal server connections to India and code directly, with a second delay for keypresses etc. Because it had to be SO secure. The database of all their alarm installations and all other crap that this system uses? It runs MySQL 5.1 on 32-bit Windows Server, and is exposed to the internet (MySQL login: root) via PHPMyAdmin 3.2, powered by Apache 2.2.11 And the password is… hideous Looks like it was all updated in 2011 at the latest. I just… can’t even. Yes they’ve been told about SSH pubkey access etc but no they won’t do anything.
