If I'm not mistaken, there was a 12 inch single that had that cover of smothered hope...

Looking for data about company ownership network by rattmatz in c/datahoarder@lemmy.ml

I would think this would be a kind of question for an OSINT community. It would be worth reposting the question there.

MetaARPA VPS question (self.sdfpubnix)
submitted 1 year ago by rattmatz to c/sdfpubnix

Hey fellow MetaARPAns! I use the MetaARPA VPS service, and I run a NetBSD image. Right now the image is NetBSD version 9.1, and I'd like to upgrade to 9.3. Has anyone done this (and if so what did you do and do you have any tips)? Will sysupgrade in pkgsrc Do The Right Thing^tm^ in a xen environment?

Many thanks in advance!

Me, personally, I've just relied on KeepassXC for password management. I've never felt comfortable with online password management, as it just seems to opaque to me.

The third episode covering this topic is out, going over note apps, calendars, and contacts.

Are the online classes on stackskills worth it? (self.routeros)

Hey, I was wondering if the video courses on Mikrotik routers and routerOS are worth studying at all?

There are several classes, a beginners class, class on using GNS3 for labs, class on security engineering, a class on hotspot management, etc.

I am just wondering if it is worth putting effort into learning this material.

I remember this distro as having a good number of newer storage drivers (cpqarray, in particular) available when installing.

Some of you maybe familiar with Bazzell, a former FBI agent turned OSINT specialist and privacy expert, his podcast is covering "self hosting" services for the next few episodes.

The first episode of the series did not cover much other than the reasons why he wants to dive into this. The second covered using kiwix to mirror larges sites like wikipedia, wiktionary, ifixit, project gutenberg, etc, as well as using calibre to index ebooks.

I imagine future episodes will be oriented slightly towards keeping offline data specific to some of the topics he covers (so breach data, other things that help online investigations, having local resources for privacy reasons), but all the same I figured it would be interesting to the community.

Hello world! - Please introduce yourself here by rattmatz in c/sdfpubnix

Here's the required introduction blurb. I'm just glad to have another usable social media site that isn't trying to IPO or turn a huge profit I guess. I've been part of SDF for over 20 years.

Thoughts on the reddit exodus, if any? Most of these forums only last a few years. How long were you on Slashdot? Kuro5hin? Plastic? HuSi? BinRev? SA? Or any of the multitudes of phpBBs that are(were) out there? Reddit ain't gonna disappear instantly, but it might be at its apex and start going downhill. These things(forums/boards/etc) don't last forever, and are rarely profitable, thus don't last long, and those that do become pretty boring, attract to many trolls/riffraff, or scare away all the interesting people.

It's nice that things are kind of decentralizing, hopefully for the better.

I've got one of those plates, but it says LINUX - back from when I worked at the big Q.
