Please do yourself a favor and instead of fail2ban install dome9.com. You'll have your ssh closed as well as all other non public ports, will not rely on funky failed login logic. As a bonus you will have clean logs.
Also saw here a recommendation to change ssh port. Man, even kids today use nmap. It takes nothing to find your 'hidden' ssh.

Consider pimping this setup with external WAF such as incapsula.com or CloudFlare.com. Combined with dome9- there will be no entity connecting directly to your server (or even knowing its ip)
Is this really new? I believe privacy issues have just gotten a spotlight now but I clearly remember a situation that happened involving my sister when she settled in the US more than 10 years ago.

I was running a small web host at the time and we just happened to host her website, for free of course. She had just moved to the US, gotten her green card and started a job as a teacher.

The school she was working for, or wanted to work for, had investigated her and found her personal website somehow. Even though she was posting under a pseudonym, and the website was hosted in Sweden. I don't remember if it was in Swedish though, maybe not.

They objected to certain things on that website, not sure if it was the BDSM links or something about linking to Amazon.

Either way, she didn't have a computer at the time so all she could do was ask me to take the website down for her.

As I remember it, a lawfirm hade made this discovery on behalf of the school where she wanted to work.
From the article: "As I said in my initial post, you won't hear me claim that my experiences from the upcoming week represent an authentic representation of food insecurity in America. My goal is merely to help bring awareness to the issue and spark deeper conversations about food insecurity and possible solutions..."
Yes it does, and Debian has staff.
Apparently, when a a CEO does it, it's news worthy, while for an actual poor person, its just everyday.

Well yes, that's pretty much the definition of news: reporting uncommon events. "You never read about a plane that did not crash".
Good points, a lot to think about. And I do agree it seems like there is a long way to go before we are seeing many great apps in iOS 7 design language.

Original iOS may feel bland now, but I feel like the design language that it created bred extremely usable apps at a far higher rate than any other OS before it. I can't say that I see the same happening with iOS 7. The foundation just doesn't seem to inspire great design as easily. In the hands of great designers, we'll be fine. But let's be honest, the vast majority of all apps and even a large portion of those we use daily are not created by great designers (or are held down by corporate interests).
Virtio is excellent news, and I'm glad to see they've implemented virtio-scsi which is just in every way much better than the old virtio-blk (although they've implemented that too).

OK, let's watch this.

0:23-ish: No one in the mainstream media in Australia has ever told anyone about Henry fucking Ergas? Well, this is full of shit already. He also ran Concept Economics.

> Concept Economics, the consultancy that recently estimated the costs of the National Broadband Network outweighed the benefits by up to $20 billion, has gone into administration.

Sheesh, what is it with these climate skeptics and their businesses going under?

0:48: Lack of action across the world? Most expensive carbon tax in the world?

Kind sir, I have a graph to cure that ailment: http://static.politifact.com.au.s3.amazonaws.com/politifact%...

Austria is AUT. Australia is AUS, in case there's any confusion following the whiplash you just got by this fact-whipping.

1:18: Thank you for that idiocy. Australia is the world's highest CO2 per capita emitter with any population to speak of, apart from the UAE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse.... It has the dirtiest power station in the entire OECD, which alone produce 1/1800th the greenhouse gas emissions on the planet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazelwood_Power_Station

You know what, I'm done. I will go on, but considering such a litany of error within a minute and a half, I can spend my time vastly better. But like I said, I'll watch it for amusement value.

Meanwhile, you go ahead and watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52KLGqDSAjo&list=PL82yk73N8eo...

Edit: OK, just wanted to add that the carbon tax does not "cost" 10 billion a year by any means. That's near enough the revenue being raised by the government through carbon pricing and near enough all of it makes it back into the economy through various means. One example, there's the rise in the tax-free threshold. Apparently billions of dollars being spent in removing the lowest income earners in the country from the income tax system is money wasted on reducing carbon dioxide a fraction of a percent? I don't think the story goes quite like that.

All this is just another example of Christopher Monckton displaying a serious case of illiteracy of various sorts: http://topher.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/50-to-1-sour...

Slightly off topic. I was once told panera always has to show a full stock of every type of bread until closing hour. This means a large quantity of bread gets discarded at the end of the day just because a half empty shelf looks bad.

I was provided this information by a girl who volunteered at a soup kitchen. She told me they often harvested this source of still perfectly good bread.

I never checked independently, so if anyone has any idea this is false please let me know.
Can anyone tell me more about the hypervisor (http://bhyve.org/)? The design looks extremely similar to KVM, so I don't understand why they didn't just implement the KVM ioctls, on the basis that they would be able to run all the existing userspace (ie. qemu).

The problem with implementing a similar-but-different kernel API is that you've either got to persuade qemu to implement your API as well as KVM, or you have to rewrite the whole of qemu (a massive job).
Was about to suggest 2-factor auth as well. At least for the "first" machine, where the SSH key for the others is.

The problem with IPv6 was not that it could be enabled... it's that it is enabled by default. In all major linux distributions.

That being said, I've read your update, and that is the point that people seeking for "recipes" should get. If they are going to touch ssh or iptables, they need to be ready to explore the documented options (which are many), to validate that the changes are working, to dive into networking, etc.

In effect you are saying that we have a better understanding of the long-term evolution of the climate than we do of the long-term evolution of Earth's economy.

There is absolutely no evidence that this is the case and considerable evidence that the exact opposite is true.
Wal-mart and TJs are non-representative locations for resuplly for your average person, tho. While it might not seem like it, both are quite selective on locations. For example, if you are 20 miles from an interstate, a major freeway, etc. You will (generally) not find a Wall-Mart. Trader Joes is not even in all of the "NFL" cities, as some are not large enough markets.

TLDR, heaven forbid you are rural poor.

I assume that if things keep going the way that they have been in the last five years then food stamps will also be coming to the UK. As I see it it's a method used by politicians to prevent the poor from participating in the wider economy, by ensuring that they may only have access to politically approved resources.

Ever tried taking grocery shopping on the bus and then walking from bus to home? You really have to plan light or make multiple trips per week. Something like a gallon of OJ can really weight you down if you don't live right next to the bus stop.
you don't suppose the danger of the market for medicine in the US prior to the 20th century had anything to do with the fact that chemistry didn't exist as a discipline? Just what do you expect them to have regulated?

The free market is quite good at providing consumers information, but often only if the consumers demand it. For a few decades now, consumers have gradually become more ethical in their consumption choices, and the markets are reflecting that. It's a long road and there are certainly many, many places where things can be improved. By contrast, consider that there is a lot of demand for certain values, like transparency, honesty, not sexually harassing your underlings, in government, and exactly how responsive do you suppose it's been?

The faulty assumption is that government will somehow be 'the betters' of the general public. But every indication of the narcissistic type that gets elected, and the petty bureaucratic authoritarian that is unelected, suggests that those advancement in government may not necessarily select for those traits you want. Neither does capitalism (as it's structured today), but at least consumers have a direct option to opt-out of unethical things done with their money, which they do not for government.

To pick another "fundamental", why do you suppose lightbulbs don't explode, and various and sundry electrical equipment doesn't electrocute you in the US? It's because regulation is being done by a private, nonprofit entity (the underwriter's laboratories) which goes through and certifies equipment for consumption. A good example of the free market working quite well to ensure safety, beyond even what the consumer might expect, with far less government interference.

The post you're replying to never said "I worked hard, I got mine, so fuck you". Perhaps you're projecting.
Some people deride it as "C programmer mentality" when fields have a fixed maximum size. I too used to think having no limits at all was the best approach in most scenarios. But for many user input data, there is a point at which a longer value is complete nonsense. The 4096-character password length limit Django will now employ seems quite a bit longer than absolutely necessary; hopefully it sufficiently addresses the bug. As for the choice of 4096, well, I would have chosen 4000 (or 1000) simply because it's more comprehensible from an end-user perspective.

When designing such systems, also consider that users sometimes accidentally copy-paste entire documents into text fields--given the number of users Django has, if a site has no input-field length limit, it's downright likely that someone will eventually paste a megabyte "password" in there with no ill intention.

In general, I would advice to not get your health advice from the NY Times. This is a response from Harvard's Nutritionsource: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2013/05/17/the-n... who calls it "highly misleading".
Nutrition research is difficult, like I said, population studies often fail to account for the fact that in western countries practically the only people who are on a very low sodium diet are people who are already very sick.

I agree with you to the extent that this article could include more about what you wwrote, but "As I said in my initial post, you won't hear me claim that my experiences from the upcoming week represent an authentic representation of food insecurity in America." And yes, I even think that, despite appearances, it is a bit disrespectful. But I also think there's value to the post:

He actually fails to create a properly nutritious and tasty diet. And writes about it. And that's without additional constraints, in "easy" mode. I think that's very illustrative.

As I said, I don't think the problem is awareness. People know that a life on food stamps is not funny, it's just that they couldn't care less.
Sport events must be really uncommon then.
Charities seem to think that small, one-line ads with a tidbit of information can raise awareness and spur some people into action; I don't see why this couldn't.

Raising awareness is not the same as getting people to even begin to understand the issue, it's just making people realize there is an issue.

In the recent weeks, there have been a lot of discussions about security on IRC and the use of web-based IRC clients in particular.

The general opinion appears to be that people really don't give a rat's ass about securing themselves on IRC. People run IRCd's and their IRC clients on multi-user shell services for a suspicious little amount of money per month just to be able to claim they have their own server and to get a cool virtual host from the huge list that many of these shell providers have.

Recently people are starting to use "bouncer" like web services that keeps them connected even when their browser isn't attached to their session. This basically means that you do not own your connection to the IRC server which also have security and privacy implications.

We can't change people over night, but hopefully we can slowly plant a seed that will make people think about what they do and how they do it.
> At one point, yes, but the caffeine content was off the charts, presumably because of the extended soak that the method required.

I've heard this anecdotally, went ahead and searched [1], but I haven't found conclusive proof that cold brewing extracts more caffeine than normal brewing. I'd love to see someone measure the levels and write about it somewhere.

Your basic view is that there can't be progress until noone on the whole world is hungry? And no amount of declining starvations over the past decades and centuries is worth anything at all?
Mostly they shouldn't need to, but on the off chance it is documented somewhere, it may as well be a "big round number" in human terms rather than computer ones.

No, it's like hiding your cash under your mattress expecting people not to look there.

Real security doesn't rely on obscurity.
The portsnap buildbox checks out the ports tree over an encrypted and authenticated pipe to the central SVN server. It then packages up the ports tree and signs the result before uploading those bits to the portsnap mirrors.

The portsnap client has hash of the signing public key (in /etc/portsnap.conf, where it was placed during the install process) and uses that to check the validity of the bits it downloads from a portsnap mirror.
From the patch, it doesn't look like it's bytes, but characters.

It's true that we still haven't secured the connection between the user and his ISP's DNS server, which I agree is a problem. DNSSEC only helps between the DNS servers themselves.

We are now down to either a) run your own DNS server locally on your machine or b) use a third-party DNS server that we trust.

Personally, I use Thomas' (the person mentioned in the article itself) free, uncensored, DNS service called CensurFriDNS. You can read more about it here: http://censurfridns.dk/

FYI,

- bcrypt can have passwords up to 72 bytes (depending on implementation) due to its nature of feeding password into a block cipher, and Blowfish having max 448 bit keys but some implementations allowing 576 bits (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_(cipher)#The_algorith...)

- scrypt accepts passwords of unlimited length, however the computational/memory cost doesn't depend on password length, as the first step in scrypt is expanding (or compressing) password and salt with 1-round PBKDF2, which is basically HMAC in counter mode.
The fact that abstract says nothing about the results, and only complains about "established science".

Your kids will see dicks, period. They can either see them with you and you can talk to them about that, explain possible dangers, emotionally support them and create the atmosphere of trust and openness to make sure that your kids come to you when there is something confusing or even dangerous... or you can leave your kids to see them on their own while you live in some kind of illusion that you have protected them from the things you did not want them to see. That is the only real choice you have.
