Literally remember people saying they didn’t vote for Clinton in 2016 because she didn’t pay attention to their state. That was their excuse anyways.

The frightening thing is, that's the best you can hope for. Anything else is a pleasant surprise.

1024-bit RSA has been deprecated for years. 2048-bit RSA is the recommended minimum.

All of my servers make local dumps of their databases and config files to directories owned by unprivileged users. This includes file paths, permissions, and ownerships (so I know how to put them back).

My primary research server at home uses rsync to pull copies of those local backups from my servers.

My primary research server uses Restic to make a daily incremental backup to Backblaze's B2 service.

There's always money to be made in hurting people. It's part of the human condition.

They're making way more out of hurting people than they are off of us.
