Okay. computer novice here with hopes of advice.

Are we all supposed to be using a protection subscription like McAfee, bitdefender, Norton, Total AV, etc., ALONG WITH something like Malwarebytes, etc.; or, is one or the other all we need? I have no clue anymore as to all, some, one of the services I'm supposed to use for my little world here.

How many different computer protection services am I supposed to keep up to date?

It's an interesting point you highlight because I've never thought of things through that paradigm. Now that I see it, I realise I'm hoping to transition to #openBSD because I believe of mainstream operating systems, it probably has the best #DX.

In this particular case, I believe that the developers exploit that in order to optimise for what might be called #security which impresses me.

I realise it's probably an outlier in this regard!

Many apps blur the line between open and closed source. Visual Studio Code, GitHub, Obsidian, Discord, Notion, Figma, and Postman are popular tools that seem open but are actually closed. Discover open alternatives like VSCodium, Forgejo, Logseq, Revolt, AppFlowy, Penpot, and Hoppscotch. #OpenSource #Tech #Software #OSSCI #FOSS #FLOSS

Migrating my infrastructure

Roughly the last 12 months have been really hard on my server infrastructure - the servers that I rent and which host sites like slackware.nl, docs.slackware.com, download.liveslak.org, git.slackware.nl and several more. An un-ending DDoS attack mostly by IP addresses from Chinese origin that keep requesting to download Slackware ISO files, many per second, effectively saturating bandwidth…

Die österreichische Regierung beschließt die #Messengerüberwachung.
Ich orte ein komplettes Missverständnis zum Begriff #Sicherheit.

Die #Überwachung einiger führt dazu, dass alle unsere Geräte unsicher werden.
#Österreich wird sich dafür also von dubiosen Firmen nicht kontrollierbare #Software kaufen.

Wer verschlüsselte #Kommunikation mitliest, kann auch #Beweise auf den Endgeräten fälschen.
Ich verstehe die #Intention, die Umsetzung ist aber #kontraproduktiv.

Nicht gut!
