Oh snap! That definitely sounds possible. Found more info about it.
tl;dr: Either the attack is ineffective against some browsers that check the certificate transparency logs (like Chrome), or the attack is visible and the CA will lose all its credibility (hopefully being removed from the browsers).
Amazingly, the answer to #5 is yes!
That would be just a nuisance until a new certificate is generated with another vendor (possibly not for free, but cheap enough).
It opens the possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack.
First let’s identify what parts of the world are free-er than the US (for a certificate).
Same here, I run Mint everywhere I can, and the XFCE edition works especially well in old machines.
Alpine is better suited for servers and especially containers, because the images can be really small. If you got enough RAM, there’s an installation mode that runs on it without writing to disk, pretty cool for systems where you want always to reboot in the same state.
Now I’m curious. What did you try that didn’t work?
He also had his family killed in Buenos Aires.
Weren’t these religious settlers? It says so in the voice over…
Oooh I didn’t remember that one, thanks!
Also, big-butt-bugs 🐜
It’s a pity the filmmakers leaved out these details from the book. The bugs not only were capable of sending asteroids through the galaxy, but also made starships to travel to other planets. The humans had power armor and carried a couple of shoulder-mounted atomic bombs each.
I don’t remember that part in the movie, sorry.
That’s the actual demographic in Buenos Aires today.
Well, there was in fact a dictator in the story: the brain-bug that controlled the swarm.
But would a non-militarized society survive in a conflict against the bugs?
Doesn’t fascism need a dictatorial leader? I don’t remember one, at least in the movie.
What’s the message in Starship Troopers?
Apart from backups, a nice RAID 1 setup will keep the service running during a disk failure and it is easy to repair when it happens, just change the faulty disk and re-sync. Some also use those as backups, by changing a spare disk regularly and keeping it somewhere safe.
If you do backups, don’t forget to test them. You don’t want to find yourself trying to restore some files and find out that they’re corrupt or you’re missing the encryption key. I remember trying to restore a database only to discover that the supposed production backups where from the testing environment.
For the noise: get a fanless PC and SSD storage. As these are virtually silent, you can keep the server somewhere open so it doesn’t overheat.
… but it also comes with that awful Samsung Tizen OS 🤮
