Yeah, we've gotten over 30°c and mine has never overheated

That's because you're using LVM though. In most distros you could also use something like:

/dev/vg/root

Mine was, as is my P7, especially compared to a lot of competing devices from Samsung etc

Yeah, I'd tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.

We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident

Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been "sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly".

Or maybe we'd like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn't throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.

I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.

This happens in other countries as well. I've been told to speak the local (non-English) language when visiting friends overseas when having a private conversation.

Generally, it seems to be nosy old people who are upset about not being able to eavesdrop

Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn't get used very often

(sorry in advance for the long post)

What I'm looking for:

Basically, without a lot of work to setup and maintain a Domain/Kerberos server, what's the best way to provide consistent logins and remote folder/share (from a server) access across various Linux desktops


I've configured domain controllers using Samba. I've also configured Linux systems as domain-joined hosts. Between the two I tend to find that keeping talking - especially for systems that are only on infrequently - can be a bit troublesome. Updates sometimes break the Samba server, tokens expire, etc etc

I've also used NFS of various versions, but found v4 with the Kerberos implementation a bit finicky (for similar reasons to the SMB based implementation). NFSv3 of course is fairly fast and efficient, but lacks the user-level authentication and relies on IP's for access-control.


Now it's been awhile since I've given a shot at this except for some NFS shares between VMs and SSHFS for desktops, it would be nice to have a consistent but easily maintainable way to provided common shares for larger files (videos, albums, 3d models, and projects etc) without having to constantly troubleshoot. Maybe the domain/NFS route had gotten easier but it still seems to be fairly manual at times.

Fun thing, if you don't sort by "Prime" you'll often find that there's another one of the exact item you're looking for - without Prime - but actually for a lower price. The Prime isn't actually free shipping, it's just baked into the price

One of the problems with having switched over a number of relatives to Linux is that I'm "the guy" when they have issues, and I can't always get over to help them in a timely manner. A lot of the time most stuff is working just fine and it's just a matter of popping into the desktop and fixing a bad link or a naughty plugin that's slipped into Chrome etc, but it DOES require being able to see what they see.

Windows has a system where you can "request assistance" and then provide a code for access at which point it shares your desktop. There are similar systems where one can get a link in email and click it for support.

I'd like to find a system that I can host myself to allow users to queue up for support at which point I can pop into their system, without needing to open ports on their routers or using something hackish like forwarding a VNC port to an SSH server etc

Honestly, people have been ringing warning bells for a while regarding how Amazon facilitates illegal behavior, including:

  • Products like this whose purpose is obviously got illegal purposes and even described as such

  • Counterfeit/knockoff goods

  • Unsafe and/or not adhering to legal regulations in the country which they are being sold (sometimes often faking the certification logos)

As somebody who has dealt with the latter two, I hope this lawsuit puts on enough hurt and/or spawns similar suits so that Amazon cleans their shit up. It's enough advantage that they don't need to stock local stores without them being able to constantly thumb their nose at the regulations actual B&M stores need to adhere to

Does anyone use X11 forwarding with Android devices, so that they can access their UI apps remotely?

If so, what apps do you use and what issues have you run across?

There's a "MobaXterm ssh" app and while I do love that app on other OS's it doesn't seem to be made by the same company so I don't really trust it

Honestly, I kinda hate the idea of a browser being able to access hardware devices.

Also, the iFrame is particularly asshole'ish in that the original author's site is still out the bandwidth for content, but somebody else is making money off it.

I fully support his response. Personally, I'd love to see the same done to certain scraper-bots

Firefox with good plugins is even better!

Can anyone recommend a good place to get parts for a homebrew system (available to Canada, at a reasonable price).

Full disclosure, I'm actually looking to build a large 3D scanning system but in terms of movement of the camera heads, I've been looking at my printer and thinking that it could use a similar configuration though on a slightly larger scale (rails, with a wheeled+track system for horizontal and large spiraled cylinder for vertical) , but I have no idea where to source these sort of parts.

Any ideas?

Kevin Mitnick - the world's first famous "hacker" - has died at age 59 after succumbing to pancreatic cancer.

Mitnick gained fame for his hacking skills and eventual arrest on hacking and wire fraud charges. After his release from prison, he went on to release various books and speak at conferences on the topic of cyber security/hacking. He is the founder of "Mitnick Security Consulting" which provides cyber consulting and penetration testing services.

Kevin's influence on the world of cyber security is undeniable, as is his almost legendary reputation in the field.
