Comment man lsof -or- appropos list open connections (Score 1) 38

Unix (that includes Linux and obviously Macs) have a command called "lsof".
"ls" is short for list and "of" is for "open files. List open files.

A port is considered a file, and depending how the device tree mapping to names works, they are also in the device tree.

The output might be overwhelming, but if you only want to see open ports and do not care about extra firewall features and user interaction, then lsof might be enough, especially considering the many command line options.

It's not hard to allow only traffic related to an outgoing connection. Are you asking because you don't know how to do it? Not that I'm supporting the GP's assertion here, that's not what I want from my ISP, but it's not even slightly difficult to do what they said you should do without interfering with establishing and maintaining outgoing sessions.

Biden was busy cleaning up Trump's mess, he wasn't about to fast track the release of files that were already going through the court system and he had no reason to believe were going to be suppressed.

Remember that after January 6th 2021, nobody in their right mind thought Trump would ever even be allowed to run again, let alone become President.

I watched Jayz video on this subject and apparently "manufacturers" (sellers) of foreign-made routers will be able to request an exception... from the Department of War and the DHS. So this is really just a solicitation for more bribes/the opportunity to pick the winners and losers like Republicans always say the government shouldn't.

She didn't have four years to do it, she wasn't even President.

And at that point the wheels of justice were going, just... slowly. There was no reason for Biden to speed up the process either. It was assumed that there would, ultimately, be trials and convictions.

Having the name that appears most, save for Epstein himself, in the Trump-Epstein files become President, coupled with the people he put in charge, including Pam Bondi who was AG during a suspicious period in Epstein's life, and given Epstein died under Trump's watch, made the issue far more uncertain and made it clear it wasn't practical to just assume the courts would do their job.

Every time you get angry at somebody screwing you over in a systemic way the next question you need to be asking is, does this change how I vote? If the answer is no then your rage is impotent and useless.

As a Canadian, I always do my best to vote for the least of evils. However, here in Canada we're often stuck with "strategic voting".

In this system, we often have to choose between voting for folks who stand for what we want but who have zero chance of holding even the balance of power, and voting for the lesser of the other evils. In a vote where who's going to win is effectively preordained, I vote according to my conscience. In a vote where the lesser of evils could win, I hold my nose and vote for them.

And every time I'm faced with that choice, I so wish my country had pushed harder for electoral reform and implemented some kind of proportional representation. Alas, we have our own brand of Republicanism at play here; since Trump came to power we've taken to calling it "Maple MAGA".

Republicans still don't believe Trump's policies cause inflation, do they?

(You know Biden actually had inflation under control by the end of his term, a problem he inherited from a combination of inheriting Trump's economy and the COVID supply chain problems, right? And he did that while maintaining full employment, which is unheard of. Meanwhile, while general inflation isn't significantly better or worse right now, tariffs and support for the AI industry and the unnecessary wars against two OPEC members have driven prices of energy sky high and made tech unaffordable for many. But no, COVID and Trump's mismanagement is all Biden's fault, obviously.)

The majority of university level students in Iran are women.

Iran is not Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia, and while its regime is, in many ways, misogynistic, it's not quite the black and white situation the echo-chamber-right in the US like to pretend it is. Iran has many faults, could you stick to the ones that are real?
