I simply meant that if you monitor a given application using on-system network tools, you quickly get an accurate idea of what/who that application talks to. And browsers are super…

Besides lsof and netstat?

We're still good now.

Whoops. I used hyperbole, and it went undetected. Here: s/the deciding factor/a deciding factor/g. We're good now.

One should be wary of anyone selling you a solution to your problems they know nothing about. Naturally, the only way to be entirely secure is to shutdown all the applications and …

If every car in your neighborhood that gets broken into is manufactured by a single manufacturer, it is in your interest in asking why that is, and perhaps considering that fact wh…

Very curious. Just based on the incidents we see, and analyze over time, almost all of them are compromised Windows systems. When I say "almost", I'll provide these stats: ~4500 Wi…

No, LetsEncrypt was not an EFF project to begin with. Look, it works how it's documented to work. If you wish it worked some other way, to solve your particular suggested workflow,…

No, it's not the LetsEncrypt people who make certbot. Certbot is an EFF project, managed by separate people. Additionally, most of the DNS implementations will require the use of a…

Regarding "the DNS record they had you add to begin with is still there", it generally isn't. Part of the automation process for certbot using the DNS-01 challenge is the removal o…

This is compounded by their propensity to rename everything at periodic intervals.

For the Microsoft.com domain, proper, there seem to be no existing CAA rules, allowing each and every CA on earth to issue certificates based on whatever criteria the CA requires. …

I have not. I'm afraid I am a gaming luddite, though for no particular reason other than having a lengthy list of mental "to-dos" in front of it.

The article contains solid advice that certainly transcends coding, alone; in my free time, I try to essentially "find work". Sometimes that work consists of writing software to so…

And if you're the kind of person that travels in one of these, you likely also have a few additional vehicles in front of and behind your vehicle filled with highly-paid profession…

I was surprised to not see IR beacons on LEO units. In military operations with air surveillance, individuals/vehicles often use IR flashing and IR reflection to mark themselves to…

Agreed. I invariably lose hours to Folklore every time I end up there. I previously worked for an original Mac team engineer, and he had some fascinating stories, but Hertzfeld's w…

I vote for users. I'll stay down here with compute, I know how this ends.

`brctl status` will return sync status data without requiring Finder. It isn't pretty, but it's usable via stdout and whatever tooling you'd want to use.

SFPD won't do anything about property crimes, to include vandalism, other than to take a preliminary report, on a schedule determined by the department (eg: you call them, they sho…

I have no dog in this fight. If anything, my final takeaway was that my impressions were entirely anecdotal and/or experiential, and not based on any sort of legitimate analysis wi…

I moved out of SF ~2018, and only recently revisited, and the increased frequency with which I saw robocars was immediately concerning to me, largely based on the potential for thi…

In this case (Lejeune vs Pendleton), there would likely not be a substantial socioeconomic difference between the collective backgrounds of Marines who did basic training at either…

Via a link posted here, perhaps. A "soft" DDOS, if you will.

Yep. Most electric companies will be more than delighted to run a second line to your home, as they then get to collect those sweet installation costs from you. So if you're willin…
