Been working on a malware analysis tool called AssemblyLine 4. I'm trying to set it up to collect artifacts from an s3 bucket and trigger alerts if malicious

I'll go so far as to say that you shouldn't click any links coming from a business via text. Nor should you call a number that starts with anything other than 1300 (again, if solicited by text). Go directly to the banking app or mygov and call the number on the contact/support page.

If the fraud department rings then get the name of the caller, hang up, call the number in their app or on their site and tell them you just had a call. If they don't know you, you just dodged a scam. Otherwise, continue and listen to them. If the fraud department thinks you're being scammed, they're probably right.

But was it Bailey's, Bailey's, or Bailey's so close you get your eyes wet coloured?

Highly recommended Automate the Boring Stuff. It'd a free tutorial on YouTube and you learn things like printing, using numbers, then opening files and manipulating data. It's useful straight away.

Imagine the alternative world where you had to back up your data, discard the device and buy an entirely new one because a simple piece of plastic broke.

Apple will tell you this practice allows them to build innovative and superior products while integrating hardware and software compatibility closer than ever.

I mean how the community refers to him. I've never read a thread where someone called Linus a BDFL, I have with python. If they do, they do. Just haven't seen it myself.

So I did miss that Linus is in the article, but the reference to him says he was awarded the title, which makes it sound like an honour rather than a hierarchical system. I don't believe that he's ever been anything other than the projects owner/founder but I'm happy to learn if I'm wrong.

Youre thinking of python I reckon -link to wikipedia

Not the shark fucker but could you send me the guide on how to do this? I would love to set this up. Also does it work for multiple accounts?

That sentence should probably read "on my first day of using Linux outside of a vm on bare metal with an installation I intended to keep". I use Kali for security work and I used Manjaro once but it killed itself before I knew what I was doing.

Snaps are not very space efficient, I don't need the same packages installed multiple times. In a desktop use case that's a lot of repeating packages.

What about all the other pros of ubuntu?

Off the top of my head,

  • their power management is better than any other distro for laptops.
  • Their compatibility with WiFi drivers is better than many others, granted that's not exclusive to ubuntu but it is a pro.
  • theyre more up to date than debian but stable while actually coming with Wayland support unlike Mint. Timeshift is great tho, good thing it's compatible with ubuntu.
  • their community is much larger than many other distro so support is easier to find.
  • it's just not a bad distro. There's not a lot of other distros that match its out-of-the-box experience.

Other distros are good. PopOS is good. I chose Ubuntu mostly because it's solid and stable but also because it has a wide community for help. I'm just getting tired of the narrative that ubuntu is totally crippled by its snaps. This is a linux distro, if I don't like something I get to change it, which is actually cool. This isn't windows where I have no control. Also, with snaps gone, I've literally never had a problem I haven't caused. I have the approach of strip out what I don't want. Arch users install what they do want. At the end of the day, we both are exploiting software we want to use to be productive. If I found myself fighting the os (like Mac or Windows) I'd switch but I don't so I won't.
