kenniskrag··on Linux from Scratch with Training Wheels
> I totally don’t have time right now

It takes too much time for compiling. Some packages compiled overnight on my machine. Now I thank my distribution, that they precompile these packages for me :)

kenniskrag··on FBI says seized fortune was criminals’ loot—owners say: Where’s the proof?
Banks are regulated and want a proof of the origin of the money. In Europe even car dealers or jewellery shop want it. Because otherwise it would be money laundering. Of course it is hard to provide a proof if you have the money in your pocket.

I wonder if it would possible to use the golang cache server. :-)

> proxy.golang.org does not save all modules forever. There are a number of reasons for this, but one reason is if proxy.golang.org is not able to detect a suitable license. In this case, only a temporarily cached copy of the module will be made available, and may become unavailable if it is removed from the original source and becomes outdated. The checksums will still remain in the checksum database regardless of whether or not they have become unavailable in the mirror.

I think in this case they recommend the standards, which are worth implementing. E.g. "Our recommendations highlight only the XEPs you need to implement for a modern messaging application, ignoring historical cruft and excessive backwards-compatibility."

or qutebrowser https://qutebrowser.org/

qutebrowser is a keyboard-focused browser with a minimal GUI. It’s based on Python and PyQt5 and free software, licensed under the GPL.

It was inspired by other browsers/addons like dwb and Vimperator/Pentadactyl.

It is not only about colour but about racial identity.

kenniskrag··on Please log in with router's password
I was considering self hosting at home. If the local network should be disconnected IMHO only a DMZ will help. My router doesn't support that so the setup will be:

ISP router (with disabled wlan) <-> firewall <- home router (with wlan)

and the firewall can then separate the network by port. WAN for the firewall is the LAN Port of my ISP router.

Is that a good setup?

And usually with default password because not on the internet. People often forget or underestimate lateral movement and metasploit reverse shell kits.

the definition of ransomeware tools can be hard imho. There is still an ongoing discussion about what are hacking tools and sometimes wireshark is called as example.

E.g. they describe their tools as:

I provide a test system in a vm. I have an installation script for the db. Dump the db and replace paths, import, start application, done. This can then be used to test the new release before deployment.

only if the gov defines it as a monopol.

If you assume it is not monopolistic, they can do whatever they want and for example prefer bigger clients.

All the time or only in Rust or Lisp? I would guess the compiler can optimize it because it is an XValue.

The killer feature for me on IntelliJ Idea Git is:

* mark with the mouse and right-click to squash them

No other git tool I know has these features.
