What if I had a firewall installed in Linux

A previous company of mine, required an “AntiVirus” installed on the Linux computers too.
The one the IT guy installed, ran in the background all the time, doing nobody-knows-what and and slowing down every thing and having multiple segfaults in a minute, shown in the journal.

Long after I left, I also saw an RCE vulnerability related to it. So essentially, my system would have been more secure without the app.

I am having difficulty understanding whether it broke its own cycle and is now crying, or broke someone else’s cycle and is now being intimidating.

Oh, and also, all the information in your CV that you also painstakingly rewrote into our forms, is going to be spread around to other companies who will use it to send you spam and phishing messages.

Good luck with your future endeavours of staying sane with others trying to get money out of you, that you don’t have.

Damn reasonable people pushing back the Nuclear Apocalypse, the Global Heating Armageddon, return to Dark Ages and all such major fun events/s.

Reading this thread, I kinda feel weird.

When I was a child, I use to take tablets for headache (no idea which ones. I was a child.) and almost every time, the headache came back more intense than before, when the effect wore off.

Later, I started understanding that headaches (and other pains) happen for a reason and it is better to find out the reason and fix it, than just turn off the alarm.

So now, even if I get hurt due to something, I say no to pain relievers. This has even saved me from re-injuring a previous injury a few times.

• Sprained ankle / back pain : exercise and yoga.
• Cramps from exercise: next time do proper stretching after exercise.
• menstruation: I have no idea. never had that. sorry. But I can say for sure, people around me don’t tend to resort to taking pills all the time. Even those that have it hard.
• broke a ligament: definitely don’t take a pill, or you won’t realise if you are about to break it again.

Over here, pain management pills seems more like a last resort and not to be used for something that happens regularly. So, reading about it being treated like cereal, feels pretty weird.

The cucumber just fell out of a peddler’s basket who was moving ahead of the woman under the tree.

The wall of text was the error message.

I just prefer using the parsed outputs from IDEs which also take you to the line of code on click.

It becomes increasingly difficult to add a subconscious actions with age. And I didn’t consider it worth the effort.

I could still drive on a highway with low traffic. And I have never seen an automatic transmission yet.

Yeah, I did driving lessons once and realised it was too late for me to start learning driving.
So I decided to be the stupid people with their bicycle and I’m much happier.

I feel much more in control when I am the motor and tend to get much better reaction times. On top of that, the lack of vision blocking, making it easier on my low situational awareness.

It’s way cheaper too.

Guess I’m eating the chicken raw, then

And finally I will be able to use eye protectors when cycling at night.
Right no, it just increases the lens flare and even getting expensive ones will, at most, not increase lens flare.

Also, make sure that all reflectors are turning the polarisation by 90°

That requires the driver to actually care

Depends upon what your are hiding it from.

If the white male is a human and understands your language, maybe you can convince it to hide - in your closet / behind a tree / under a bed / behind some bushes etc.

How come you know my IP !?

I use all 3 !!!

You forgot the “right now”.

The “speech” as in a separate message, which likely came after she stopped being speechless.

I feel like we can do the same in other places too.
It just doesn’t make much sense for me to buy one of those, considering I don’t expect to be using a copper endpoint anywhere else I go.
I probably will get my own Fiber modem when viable (as in, I get a provider that doesn’t force their own modem on me).

The major Fibre player here, requires use of their modem, of which, even the WiFi password can only be changed using their Android app. Said app connects to the internet and most probably tells their systems the new password to change to (which would of course, be in plain text), which then remotely changes the WiFi password.
Most probably, other major ones do the same.

There are some smaller players (probably Tier2/3 ISPs), which would let us have our own modems after enough effort, so I’d probably go with one of those.

The malware argument is a bit weak

It’s much more than just a bit weak, unless you are somehow continuously monitoring it, so yeah, in most end-user scenarios, it would hardly make a difference to keep it on, even if there were no updates.

Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

OIC, so, same as here. Germany seems to be having pretty well made laws in these cases.

Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

Except that it is a layer 2 bridge and I couldn’t connect to the network directly, either way, because their line is copper ^[1] and consumer routers/modems are usually RJ45/RJ11.
