hodgepodgin@lemmy.zipto Linux@programming.dev•Might need to switch distros, which one should i use?1·2 days agoI would guess yast, merlyn, zypper, no rpm fusion (?), but you get OPI, good security defaults like apparmor and ufw (which messes with printers). I like it so far. I’ve found most packages im looking for and it hasn’t broken on me once during an upgrade. Zypper also recently got a big speed buff that I’m aware of.
hodgepodgin@lemmy.zipto Linux@programming.dev•Might need to switch distros, which one should i use?8·4 days agoOpensuse tumbleweed if you want stability, rpm packages, and bleeding edge. They also have a fantastic KDE edition.
It’s possible to use salts, peppers, and key stretching algorithms that repeatedly hash a password like 100,000 times. So yes, it’s possible to do so securely.

I don’t believe Debian is susceptible to worms — it wasn’t even susceptible to last year’s xz attack — and if you have a network firewall with port forwarding disabled, there is no way in unless your router’s firmware is compromised. If you’re running any community driven software like, for example, game plugins for servers you’re hosting, those could be suspect. Anything not FOSS is also a suspect. Otherwise, if you’ve already done a secure wipe (using dd, hdparm/nvme, or your UEFI) and used another motherboard then it probably isn’t your firmware that is compromised. You mentioned SSH and credential reuse, so this leads me to think a device on your network, like an IoT device (thermometer, baby monitor, home assistant, Roku, etc.) could be infected with malware. You really can’t trust these things to have any security whatsoever and they need to be placed on a segmented or guest network. This attack honestly seems very immature, something a script kiddie would do, or perhaps it is automated. On that note, automation loves vulnerabilities, so if you forgot to change the default credential on your router for example, I would fix that. Make sure everything is on the latest version and patch everything. I would also start suspecting neighbors and juvenile kids around high school age. If nothing else works then I would do a full Mr. Robot wipe down ;)

hodgepodgin@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crashEnglish2·1 month agoAgreed, if there was concern about the data falling into the wrong hands then there’s many different ways to secure the data (encryption w/ a secure enclave, masking, hardening) besides just deleting it. Tesla’s strategy here totally foregoes any typical data retention lifecycle like you mention, which is usually to delete old data that has little to no benefit besides just adding additional risk (e.g. trips older than 1 year or if there’s no space left). Plus you have to take into account the additional consequences you take on by deleting the data locally such as not being in compliance with regulations, and potentially risking sanctions or heavy fines.
real question what is that? I mean kinda looks the same as the dnc but I’m assuming it’s for republicans since we’re on lemmy
