Damn, that should be a poster on every street corner down there in the US. (And probably up here in Canada too, leading to the election).

It may become the duty of every software engineer at this time to offer their services to those who need security, to make custom solutions for those who require it.

Cypherpunks, arise!

There's a dedicated tool named sshguard which works nicely.

... but allegedly based on stolen source printouts from the college dumpster, and written using stolen time on their timeshare mainframes.

Just be sure to check support before buying any newish laptop. I really like my ASUS Duo Pro 2024, but ASUS adamantly refuses to lift a finger for proper Linux support for special features. Even the audio chipset which is standard somehow doesn't work with default kernels due to something they've done. Dual screen can be made to work with some scripting-fu, but the keyboard's multimedia keys just don't work at all.

Vote with your wallets and be noisy to those brands who don't support Linux well. Let them know if lack of Linux support was why you didn't buy.

Yup, DVD players suffered from the bad caps a lot back then as well, it was always one or two specific electrolytics in the power supply.

First let's cut the biggest energy wasters -- crypto mining and 'AI'.

Exactly. Europe should see all Canada's steel and aluminum as a godsend for all the tanks, vehicles, and guns they're going to need to build and use to stop Russia.

Good luck -- E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can't resist trying to "assert dominance" or something.


Carney should formally demand Krasnov "say Thank You" for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.

EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox 'News', before we drop tariffs.
