The bogus CVE problem has caused delays in my projects because the CIO wants our COTS scanner tool reports to have 0 CVE's or a detailed explanation on why it is not an issue.

Also I'm having difficulty communicating: CVSS is not a measure of risk, and that many of the ReDoS vulns are very much dependent on the context.

I've always wanted this feature for my bookmark manager. I've found myself saying like I remember a website that was x color on the header.

I’m wondering if eventually airspace will be carved out for commercial drone operations. And if in the future the FAA will attempt to stop enthusiast drone operations via costly regulations in the name of safety for commercial drone ops. As it’s very easy for someone with a DJI drone from to fly beyond LOS.

Also a Walmart in my area has blocked off part of its parking lot to launch 6 delivery drones. I’m going to miss the days of quiet skies.

I think this is disingenuous. Example: configuring a linux firewall properly is not on the same competency level of changing your oil.

This script doesn’t harden sshd to the level I’d call safe. Disabling root login is minimum. I’d have port change, timeouts, fail2ban, otp via Pam all configured. Only allow specific IP ranges and users to ssh. I’d use ansible to properly configure instead of this script.

In the case of httpd. Id run it in docker or chroot. Again fail2ban, otp, I’d probably put it on a different port have it proxied via Cloudflare and have httpd only allow Cloudflare ips.

All this that are difficult to learn.

Source: I run my families infrastructure. Which spans multiple servers, routers, switches across 7 houses in 3 countries. I also change my own oil.

Flicker has been one of my biggest pet peeves of LED lighting. Had to return numerous LED products for this reason.

I don’t understand the tech independence claim? The script is replacing a unified service like Google or Apple iCloud with a lot of other services. Vultr and mailgun for example.

There is something to be said about the larger centralized services. I’d be hesitant to put any sensitive files on my own server. The larger firms have security departments ready to respond to CVE’s and 0days.

Question for someone more knowledgeable: as the iPhone’s periscope lense tech improves will this effectively make the low end of professional mirrorless/dslr cameras obsolete?

Good thing I don’t work with you. Can I have your name so I make sure my company never hires you?
