You can add IPS to port to add some security checking, but yes, in general port is never secure or unsecure.

I have been using Windows for 30 years and Linux for 25 years (debian since 99’). I really would not bash (pun intended) windows users so much, there is place for both of them.

Coral Acceletor is only needed if you run setup that does not have GPU or enough CPU. Spare laptop usually has enough power to handle AI detection, but RasPi doesn’t. I run mine in CPU at rack server.

Cameras own detections are limited in my experience, and it is much harder to integrate to anything else, like HomeAssistant for notification & automation

HomeAssistant + Frigate combo is just plain awesome. You can leverage the automations of HA through Frigate’s AI detection, so you get things like notifications.

CrowdStrike Falcon is XDR product, there is hundreds of similar products available.

The role of XDR is to detect and block if some bad actor is trying to do something malicious in the machine. Old school virus signature detection is not enough anymore, you need pattern detection from network communication/DNS queries etc.

When corporation has thousands of devices to monitor the OS each of those devices Is not relevant. You need to detect if some random user logs to some Linux info display thousand kilometers away, and starts scanning the network.

Because the detection and response, needs to happen near realtime, for example Incase of cryptolockers, where all devices are encrypted within seconds, the software blocking this needs kernel level access.

I work in critical infrastructure as IT, but luckily we did not use falcon

Silver Fang, and from that you can identify my age and country.

Pisa is bad too, it is just the tower and crazy tourist prices.

I assume all vpn services accessible from china are run by government and they monitor the traffic

It is a small indie team, that doesn’t want to crunch their devs. I can live with that.

Valheim is one of the best, especially with frends

Ignition is awesome

It is quite long game, and only second game ever to break 2M concurrent players on steam

I know at least few components in the power grid that run on top of linux

I would suggest more learn by doing approach. Learning OSI model etc is nice, but it is quite jargon :)

Use some old PC as a server, and get some network cards into it, and use it as firewall/router. Route your home network/NAT/DNS/DCHP through it. Raspberry Pi’s are nice, but their hw is still bit limited.

OPNSense is quite nice and easy free and open source firewall/router solution.

If you want to add bit of flexibility, you can use some virtualization platform like VMware in to the machine, so that you can run OPNSense in it, with some other virtual servers.

Then when you get things working, you can start looking in to VLAN’s, because they are quite important part of enterprise networking. Most cheap switches nowadays support VLAN’s out of the box.

GPT4 was able to explain that

hdparm --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --sanitize-crypto-scramble /dev/sda

Modern disks have encryption enabled in disk level. This will change the encryption key on the disk, meaning that in seconds all data in the disk is in unrecoverable state.

This is way better than writing the whole disk 0’s or rm -fr /

And he mugged your money?

Combining EV and plugin hybrids together is quite strong indicator that this study has agenda attached.

Plugin hybrids were the most unreliable. Tech wise all hybrids are more closer to gas powered than EV’s. Of course plugin hybrids are more unreliable, you have two engines, so you get issues from both.

Better than 666, which I did once 20 years ago

He speaks both languages, and in general Swedish Finns curse in finnish
