Paying more can entice people to commute, but there is still no housing. The real solution is more housing.

Netcup was founded in my hometown in Germany. They have a very good reputation. However, they were aquired a while ago by Anexia. I am not sure if that changed anything.

There are more than 1 billion cars on earth. Cubesats are smaller than a car and can be distributed in an additional dimension (altitude). I think there is little risk of oversaturation currently.

You can use the kubectl debug command to add ephemeral containers to a running Pod. It's an alpha feature introduced in v1.18.

The ephemeral debug container can contain htop while the application container doesn't. This way minimal application containers aren't complicating debugging when something goes wrong :)

This theory doesn't make sense to me. Banks could simply buy foreign currency to achieve the same without the additional risk of defaulting lenders.

I feel this says more about the mental stability of that specific person and has very little to do with giving feedback, no?

Yes, you are surely right. I was mostly wondering if the bot net is actually secure.

It seems to me this bot could be disabled.

Every bot has a list of peers and their SSH credentials. This way, peers can reinfect machines that were restarted, thus allowing the bot to be volatile on the infected machine.

The article says the researchers can join the peer-to-peer network. The researchers should be able to get a list of all infected machines including SSH credentials. These credentials could be used to remove the backdoor SSH key, kill the bot & netcat processes and maybe change the SSH password on all infected machines at the same time.

Am I missing something?

Yes, for a second, I was very confused about the connection between active directory and advertising.

It's trivial to capture if there is a will. Send an agent who offers a bribe, fire the worker if the bribe is accepted.

If a cryptographic hash function is used, the security of this scheme doesn't rely on keeping the algorithm secret, though. Therefore, it's not security through obscurity. Of course, weaknesses could still exist (e. g. a too small input space because the ID that is hashed has too little entropy).

Yes, the laws don't care about who you bank with. If your "center of life" is in Germany, you are required to pay income taxes. Although "center of life" is not defined in detail in german tax law, there are a number of known indicators that are considered. For example, if you reside in Germany for 183 days per year or more, you are required to pay income tax on all of your income.

Maybe the person meant to say Visual Studio Code is preferable to Visual Studio.
