When I heard of JRE many years ago, I said to myself, "do I care to hear the endless opinions of the former host of Fear Factor? Nope." And that was that, never even decided to give it a try with so much other potential content available.
They already had the person's name by that point. They traced the attack back to the attacker, and had already figured out they weren't an employee or associate of an employee.
I've installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my Dell laptop, and I've done no configuring/tweaking that you describe. Just the default install, changed maybe one or two settings in ubuntu's version of "System Preferences", installed my Firefox extensions, changed the desktop background. You don't need to do any configuring/tweaking if you don't want to. Everything works.
Author here, if anyone has comments, questions, or suggestions for improvement.
I wrote this because I didn't see a good guide that explained the thought process that goes into choosing a cipher suite, so sysadmins could design the right cipher suite for themselves and not just copy a configuration from elsewhere.
I am also interested in this. This whole process has been a shitshow. I'd just like a decision to be made and a little warning so that I have time to replace my RapidSSL certs (they are signed by GeoTrust which is owned by Symantec).
I'm still trying to figure out if my 36 month wildcard carts from RapidSSL are going to be distrusted. Their intermediate is signed by GeoTrust which is owned by Symantec, and a blog post says with Chrome 59, certs with a period over 33 months will be distrusted. Chrome Canary on v60 shows them still working.
Google's entrant into the Conference Room Tech market is their Chromebox for Meetings. It doesn't do the whiteboarding, but it's an easy and cheap way to put a webcam/speaker/mic into a conference room that integrates well with Google Calendar.
Obviously it makes the most sense for companies with "G Suite" as employees can then use gCal to book conference rooms, set up Hangouts video chats in the rooms, etc.
And Google's product costs one-tenth as much. I know there's no way I'd get a budget to spend $7k/room at my company, given we only spend $500/room for furniture the last time we redid them.
Having an ok experience with them at my company. Occasionally one needs reimaging but overall I forget they are there.
Maybe this is the way that I've been lucky, but I was always either a 10min drive or a 5min walk from school as a boy, depending on which building (elementary/middle/high school). At college, I was on campus, and a 10min walk from anything. First job was a 45min subway ride, second job is a 30min subway, including walking. My mother was 15min from her job her whole life.
As someone who supports strong Net Neutrality and a free internet, I'm obviously extremely against the way they are manipulating their network. Redirecting Google to Baidu, slowing them down, etc, not to mention the rest of the manipulations of the Great Firewall. I don't give them a free pass that they can "do whatever the heck they want." A free internet is a human rights issue. All citizens of the world deserve to be on a neutral network with no blocking, redirecting, throttling, or proxying.
Especially if you ask for a little more. I had friend once who asked for a lot more and they rescinded the offer; because they (probably rightly) figured the two wouldn't have a long relationship together if it's starting like this.
I know I can backup the contents of Google Authenticator on iOS if I perform iTunes backups with the "Encrypt backup" option checked. I'd wager that many who are backing up their phones don't have this checked, and don't realize if they have to restore their phone that the gAuth app will pretend you just installed it from scratch with no codes.
I'm not sure what the backup situation is with Android.
I've started backing up the actual strings that the app uses to generate the codes in an encrypted vault. You usually have to manually have these strings shown to you in lieu of a QR code. While creating another avenue for someone to hack you, at least I have a backup as well as a way to add a second device go show me codes. This is definitely beyond the capacity of the average user.
I think there might be online services that handle keeping codes for you? Like you can install an app on your phone, log into an account, and it presents you with all of your codes. Anyone have a recommendation for one of these that works well for them?
Yup. Until very recently, you did most of your shopping on Amazon.com using unsecure HTTP, right up until you clicked Checkout. Only recently did they move all of the product browsing over to HTTPS.
