You should be able to. And it would be great as it would make my all caps joke absolutely inunderstandable, in very internetical way.

Isn’t it?! I have only a few books in my life that had that much impact on my worldview.

FOUR REAL

I suggest a historical perspective that I only recently discovered: Graeber and Wengrow’s Dawn of Humanity has some very interesting anthropological/archeological examples of how communal police and security has been organized in the past (distant or more recent).

Most notably some cool “clown posse” police that’s cyclical with summer/winter.

And I’m reeling with you! And your solarpunk nickname is perfect! It blows my mind that you can experience the same stimuli in a distinctly different way. It means that the normal “common” way of experiencing the world is anecdoticaly shared with a lot of other all-the-same-and-glad-about-it human beings, but narrow and selective. I don’t mean to romanticize your condition in any way. But I don’t think mine should be romanticized either.

I wish I could share your pain as the sirens go by, because I wish I could make it easier for you, but also because experiencing it in a distinctly different way would broaden my world, as I would be able to think about another, not less true, not less important, perspective. Or put another way: Sex is boring, I need to start paying more attention to my arms.

Now, allow me to ask how we could write forward with this speculative interspecies poiesis, peotry, or sensible beauty in form of words.

How wide is diversity?

Others taste and feel the desiccation of salt on their skin differently than me. Some, like our dude Pudding here, don’t form lasting images in a centralized nervous system about it. They can’t recall a memory of the sting of salt, nor the warmth of umami on their tastebuds.

But what does a hypersensible synesthete feel when the light breeze carries salt from the sea?

The neurodiverging spectrum on which we place autism as far away from us as we can, is a continuum we do not dare to think too much about. Heavy is the hand that shelters us into the norm. But from a position of privilege, we should remain able to ask respectfuly.

How does Pudding care about the world? How can anyone not care about their world?

A newborn learns the world by licking the salt of my sweaty hand. By trial and errors the images form, and the accumulation of stimuli shapes a world. Always welcoming the stimuli is an absolute necessity, but so is remaining in a state of irreverent flexibility. Nothing is ever so sure, shared, sufficient that it should be taken for granted! Stay with the trouble.

What can Pudding teach us? A lot apparently. So can we all teach each others something, can’t we?

This whole thread (that I shamelessly hijacked) is very informative and allowed me to understand that cybersecurity is in practice a mixture of concrete nerdy log books and vague feeling of being under a threshold of worthiness.

I woke up this morning and there was a faint noise coming from the server: immediately thought “ok that’s it, it’s pawned and become a node in a vast grid of malicious bots”…it was a cron verification of drives

Low hanging fruits are, in my personal case, pictures of my cats and public domain cultural artefacts.

Industrializing hacking of random servers sounds like a shitty idea at the end of the day…

Ignoring ? Nah someone mentionned my ISP might be protecting me uphill.

Non standard port. But aren’t secret chinese hack farm scanning wider than just 22 ? I don’t know and deep down believe that it’s pawned and scrubbing logs.

React2Shell is exactly the shitshow situation yes. Suddenly we are all at risk. But in this case, I’m sorry to say that my cats’ pictures are worthless.

Your point on nginx/wireguard makes me think that it might be better to htaccess through a reverse proxy than relying on a built in login system. For exemple, I should deactivate jellyfin’s login and put it behind an htaccess at the proxy’s level. Is that completely dumb?

Anyway, I clearly need to research “threat models” and cyber/infosec more. Thank you very much!

This is great thanks for this video

Aren’t zero day very specific? Or maybe it’s become a very generic term.

Anyway, I am under the impression that either it’s suddenly very simple to hack into EVERYONE because someone zero dayed the wireguard protocol and there a major flow in it, it’s a shitshow, for all, for some, just me or nobody, whatever. Or it’s a very targeted attack on me personaly, and that’s a whole other story and the means to protect my pictures of my cats and my cool public domain movies collection are different (think social engineering). Also port 22 being bombarded by brute force attempts so don’t choose a password that’s 6 letters thanks.

I KNOW I am missing many things, but still, I don’t get it.

Quick question: If I look through the ssh log and I don’t see the hundred of attempts, what could be going on?..

Yeah sorry I missed the part where it has no authentification whatsoever, that’s just open bar.

Authentification + monitoring + fail2ban + ip blacklist

Okay thanks for mentionning overblown paranoia, that’s what I have.

What kind of exploitable server misconfigurations are we talking about here?? Brute forcing won’t work because fail2ban, right? I’m a noob and deep down I’m convinced that my homeserver is compromised and has beenpart of a bitcoin mining farm for years… Yet, not a single proof…

Dumb question: why does everyone is so terribly afraid of opening stuff to the internet ? What’s the scenario?
