Without a foundation, you have no foundation.

Effectively, China has been acquiring a monopoly on manufacturing, which is an absolute necessity for modern life. We have been acquiring the higher-paid, but less numerous and less critical industries.

Any information given would obviously be for use with another device.

QR code, for example. These are instructions or information about the crash, not links (except the QR code, which would obviously be read by another device).

Because for the bulk of users, unless they are power users, all they need to know is that things didn’t work.

Things actually useful to have on the BSOD:

• distro-specific instructions for submitting a bug report
• option to reboot
• option to show debug info
• option to show a qr code that submits a bug report
• and, if configured by the distro or system admin, debug info

Come up with a plot you will voice, and a plot you won’t.

For the first, something that would change the whole political or religious landscape of all of the nearby nations/known world.

For the second, something that could actually destroy the planet, and will ultimately interrupt or make meaningless the change in political landscape.

“Find your way in an open world. Leave your mark, and try to withstand the winds of change.”

The key is that both plots happen whether or not the players get involved.

Every session, roll for the advancement of the plots. Make sure things trickle down and impact the players. Subtle early, vicious late.

Whoever downvoted you is nuts.

They’re in the basements, so you don’t hear about them.

Interesting how you use “simple” and “mail server” in the same sentence.

Near death experience?

Live your life as you wish. But putting words in my mouth sure doesn’t help your case.

You got a severe case of the drama there, first worlder.

It’s not people’s fault, but it is their responsibility.

They are not to blame, but they must handle what has been passed on to them. It has always been thus.

Deciding “it’s not your problem” and choosing to blame others will simply make the problem last longer.

The fix starts with you. In my life, it started with me.

That’s insane.

And, how does what you said cancel out what you responded to?

I was wondering about that…

Trillium is great. I’ve been scrolling through here to see if anyone mentioned it, and was gonna put it out there if nobody had.

I haven’t tried it out on android (if that even exists), though.

Don’t know why you were downvoted here…

What you probably want is a dmz or red/green localnets. A reverse proxy (as others have mentioned) like haproxy or nginx) are extremely unlikely to, themselves, be hacked. But they don’t really add security, either.

What does add security is to have a router with a firewall, with one or more red networks, and a green network.

The red network has all of your public-facing servers. They have virtually no external access, and no internal access except to respond. It’s even good to have a rule on the router that you can turn on/off that blocks all outbound connections from the red network to the external world. To upgrade a server, turn off the rule, upgrade, and then turn the rule on again. The router only forwards inbound connections from the internet on a specific port, and routes them to the server/servers on the red network(s) on a (possibly different) specific port.

Most ownage-style hacks involve (once compromised) either calling home (can’t if the server is not allowed outbound connections) or opening an additional port (who cares, the router will never forward anything to that port).

Then, back up your important info, and keep multiple copies of that info - daily for a week, monthly for a few months, and yearly.

Indeed. It doesn’t even trend towards consistency.

It’s much like the pattern-matching layer of human consciousness. Its function isn’t to filter for truth, its function is to match knowns and potentials to patterns in its environment.

AI has no notion of critical thinking. It is purely positive “thinking”, in a technical sense - it is positing based on what it “knows”, but there is no genuine concept of self, nor even of critical thinking, nor even a non-conceptual logic or consistency filter.
