I also ran into this discussion via Tapestry. RSS is alive and well.

Attackers that got in via other means can use these devices to achieve persistence. Wiping malware off computers is one thing but scrubbing all your printers and cameras isn't generally something done by incident responders. You'd have to have good traffic analysis to catch this too.

Per my experience on several of these, it breaks during the big feature updates.

My org tried this workaround a while back on some computers that didn't meet Win 11 hardware requirements (7th gen intel CPU). They were fine until the next feature update (annual/6month?) rolls out, and then that fails. The entire argument for linux here is they aren't arbitrarily cutting off old hardware like microsoft is in a couple months. Personally I tried linux for my own use and was pretty darn close but ran into some hardware drivers that just weren't ready. Bad laptop selection on my part? I'm probably going to end up with a mac for personal use.

Absolutely. It's easy to see why services like Cloudflare are becoming popular. I just dabble in all this myself but it's an interesting problem.

Some would question the need for a publicly trusted cert for a private site, but I get the point, that's an easy solution.

I feel like the majority use HTTP-01 challenge because it's so easy. DNS-01 challenge requires a agent that is compatible in your infrastructure AND your DNS provider that narrows the field considerably, I already know of one in my infrastructure that isn't compatible. Google seems named here but I have to wonder how much Cloudflare pushed this one too...

Give us prior written notice of when you'd like to use your own computer, we'll try our best to get it ready by then... Seriously?

I applaud the sentiment but we don’t need more laws and government. Vote with your wallet. Complain directly.

Some users are so demoralized by bad IT they just click through insecure warnings all the time. Sad but I've seen it, bet you have too.

Zuck appears to be turning around and heading back the right way but man has he got a long way to go to convince me it's not just bowing to the current administration.

It's a big piece of the problem but not the complete solution. Once you've identified something malicious you can then automate the back channels to the social media providers to get posts using that flagged for mis/dis/malinformation en masse, and/or straight up block others from posting the same thing upon submittal. This will probably be abused...

This is the root cause, too bad it's on the bottom of the page. We need to stop the free pass for criminals, the Soros prosecutorial influence needs to end.

Absolutely, either because they will be right there monitoring the class, or doing the teaching themselves. No need for the parent to insist on having the phone in those cases. Or they will have a direct line to the current teacher if it's an out of home situation, way better than some front office committee they have no control over.

There are requirements for believers that put you on a path of goodness and love, if you aren't feeling that maybe focus on why. Very serious note yes there needs to be financial accountability. Open books and being able to go witness what the money is doing. Fraud hides in darkness.
