I dropped it in favor of Jellyfin some time back, but this was a good excuse to go ahead and delete my family's accounts.

There is a cost to convenience ratio. Each individual has to decide based on their own ethics and preferences whether they're willing to sacrifice their own personal experience for the right of ownership. I personally chose to cancel my Spotify subscription some time ago and start buying digital downloads and CDs again.

That I don't know. I mean you could always just use something to record the sound played by your PC, but at that point A) You're not getting as good of quality as you would from an actual download of the source material and you'd have to manually assign metadata, make sure no notifications or other sounds played, make sure your recording settings were optimum, etc. It's easier, right now at least, to just buy what you want on CD or from a store that sells digital downloads legitimately.

Buy and store your own music. HDTracks and 7Digital both sell high quality DRM free downloads, or you can just swing by your local Walmart or Dollar Store and grab some CDs to rip.

Or you could go sailing, that's always an option...

It is the command line interface for libvirt/qemu/kvm on Linux. I usually just use virt-manager remotely via SSH to create and manage my VMs, but virsh can be handy as well.

If they're gonna go after people who mutilate children they need to start by banning circumcision.

Pocket is one service of theirs I did use from time to time. Save an article you want to read later without committing it to a bookmark.

Generate a unique key for each client or device. SSH keys identify devices, not people, so I do not recommend sharing the same key between two different devices.

I generally do a few things to protect SSH:

1. Disable password login and use keys only
2. Install and configure Fail2Ban
3. Disable root login via ssh altogether. Just change "permit root login" from "no password" to just "no". You can still become root via sudo or su after you're connected, but that would trigger an additional password request. I always connect as a normal user and then use sudo if/when I need it. I don't include NOPASSWD in my sudoers to make certain sudo prompts for a password. Doesn't do any good to force normal user login if sudo doesn't require a password.
4. If connecting via the same network or IPs, restrict the SSH open port to only the IPs you trust.
5. I don't have SSH internet visible. I have my own Wireguard server running on a separate raspberry pi and use that to access SSH when I'm away, but SSH itself is not open to the internet or forwarded in the router.

They straight up ambushed those guys. Makes me wonder if the car accident was staged specifically to attract emergency workers.

So far I haven't seen any attempts to change their user agents. I've seen one or two other bots poking around, but nothing to write home about so I've left them alone.

I have heard however that changing user agents is a tactic they do indeed employ, especially Claude, so it may be that I'll eventually have to adapt my defenses.
