What if I had a firewall installed in Linux

A previous company of mine, required an “AntiVirus” installed on the Linux computers too.
The one the IT guy installed, ran in the background all the time, doing nobody-knows-what and and slowing down every thing and having multiple segfaults in a minute, shown in the journal.

Long after I left, I also saw an RCE vulnerability related to it. So essentially, my system would have been more secure without the app.

Damn reasonable people pushing back the Nuclear Apocalypse, the Global Heating Armageddon, return to Dark Ages and all such major fun events/s.

I don’t get how that’s going to help with multiple keys on my cheap keyboard not registering properly, when pressed at the same time.

IMHO, nKRO is the best solution to get rid of ghosting.

And finally I will be able to use eye protectors when cycling at night.
Right now, it just increases the lens flare and even getting expensive ones will, at most, not increase lens flare.

Also, make sure that all reflectors are turning the polarisation by 90°

That requires the driver to actually care

I feel like we can do the same in other places too.
It just doesn’t make much sense for me to buy one of those, considering I don’t expect to be using a copper endpoint anywhere else I go.
I probably will get my own Fiber modem when viable (as in, I get a provider that doesn’t force their own modem on me).

The major Fibre player here, requires use of their modem, of which, even the WiFi password can only be changed using their Android app. Said app connects to the internet and most probably tells their systems the new password to change to (which would of course, be in plain text), which then remotely changes the WiFi password.
Most probably, other major ones do the same.

There are some smaller players (probably Tier2/3 ISPs), which would let us have our own modems after enough effort, so I’d probably go with one of those.

The malware argument is a bit weak

It’s much more than just a bit weak, unless you are somehow continuously monitoring it, so yeah, in most end-user scenarios, it would hardly make a difference to keep it on, even if there were no updates.

Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

OIC, so, same as here. Germany seems to be having pretty well made laws in these cases.

Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

Except that it is a layer 2 bridge and I couldn’t connect to the network directly, either way, because their line is copper ^[1] and consumer routers/modems are usually RJ45/RJ11.

Mine is pretty expensive too (at least for me, it is). I just make sure not to fly without a rebuy.

Sorry. I’m addicted to knowledge. I need to know.

you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP

Wait, do you mean, it’s illegal to ask for it?
In my case, it just depends upon the ISP’s policy.

In fact, with the current ISP, even though they provide their on modem (copper line), it has a pure bridge mode available, which I can connect to my other router and have fun looking at those packets with full transparency and the tech even went ahead and explained to me what I messed up, before resetting the modem for me, when I did use the bridge mode.

Read the title and went: What? They want you to keep your network hardware ON, when unattended, to increase the undetected malware entry opportunities?

Turns out it as their own devices they wanted to push updates to.

I would really prefer to use my own device though and even better, configure it myself after learning how the ISP’s network works. But convenience is what it is.

I’ll probably get one, once enough of its vulnerabilities are discovered and post-mitigation benchmarks are released.
And once I have enough money.

plugin/extension

that seems like the way to go for this

I hear what I say and it feels unpleasant.
Also, I don’t like adding senseless* words in my speech.

* Unless it’s funny or sth.

I see. When using X11, I was using xinput to set MMB scrolling, but at that time, it had the problem of activating the MMB paste function, if I didn’t click and hold properly.

Over time, my habits changed and I kinda stopped using it. But maybe I’ll try again once it comes in Plasma 6.2 (it’s actually in beta rn)

P.S. I’m guessing OP doesn’t actually have a CA and is just using simple self signed certificates without any private CA that has signed them.

You’re right. I’m talking about making a certificate using gpg and storing it on your system. Then adding it to the root CA list and signing all your Local SSH stuff with it.

My router doesn’t have an HTTPS control page.
Sometimes frustrating.

Should’ve Open Sourced the CENC. Now they pay the price.
Everyone* saw it coming.
