To be additionally fair, Android still has phones out there in use that still dont have the RCS feature, and never will because those phones are no longer supported.

This blog is specifically for websites that are public facing. Sure, you can wireguard into your local network, but you can also SSH into your local network. Either way you have to poke a hole.

Good read.

I would just like to add some additional information that favors changing your SSH port to something other than the default. When crawlers are going around the internet looking for vulnerable SSH servers, they’re more than likely going to have an IP range and specifically look for port 22.

Now can they go through and scan your IP and all of its ports to look for the SSH service? Yes. But you will statistically have less interactions with bad actors this way since they might specifically be looking for port 22.

Updates to secure the operating systems are worth it. Apple has a fantastic track record of supporting the older phones. It shows they’ve really planned ahead and thought about the entire lifecycle of their device. They will also accept your old phone after its life is complete and responsibly recycle it.

Guess where they got their inspiration from?

AKA the new internet (the SAFE network) that has been in development for 18 years and is about to hit beta here in the upcoming weeks.

No, I don’t mean web3

Don’t worry, a new internet is coming soon. Then we can leave all this behind.

Its up to your distros package maintainer to make the patched version available. You can find who maintains it and contact them so they are aware.

Theyre not nearly as bad as the butterfly keyboards they used in previous models. They went with a scissor switch style with a ~1.0-1.1mm key travel here.

Ive owned a few mechy keyboards and older thinkpads, but even so, ive never thought that the m1 macbook air keyboard is terrible.

I can understand if its a deal breaker for some though.

Honestly, you might look into the new arm-based apple silicon macbook air laptops. Those processors will actually get faster over time as more developers optimize their apps to take advantage of the efficiency.

Super thin, 18+ hour battery life, aluminum casing, amazing retina screen, and works nicely with iPhones if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.

[Edit] If you dont want to use macOS, you can throw Asahi Linux on it. Its optimized for the Apple silicon hardware.

Security concerns can vary between traditional Linux distributions and rolling release distributions.

Traditional Linux Distributions:

1. Stability: Traditional distributions like Ubuntu LTS tend to prioritize stability over the latest software updates. While this can reduce the risk of new software vulnerabilities, it may also mean that security patches for certain software components are not as up-to-date as in rolling releases.

2. Delayed Updates: Security updates for software packages may take longer to reach users in traditional distributions because they go through a more extensive testing and validation process. This delay could potentially leave systems vulnerable for a longer period.

3. Predictability: Traditional distributions have predictable release cycles, making it easier to plan and apply security updates. However, this predictability can also make it easier for attackers to anticipate when certain software versions will be in use.

Rolling Release Distributions:

1. Up-to-Date Software: Rolling releases like Arch Linux or Manjaro provide the latest software updates as soon as they are available. While this ensures access to new security features and patches quickly, it can also introduce new bugs and vulnerabilities.

2. Frequent Updates: Rolling releases typically require more frequent updates, which can be time-consuming and potentially introduce compatibility issues if not managed properly.

3. User Responsibility: Users of rolling releases have a greater responsibility to stay informed about security updates and apply them promptly. Failure to do so can leave systems vulnerable.

4. Testing: Rolling releases often have a testing phase where updates are evaluated by the community before being rolled out to all users. This helps catch issues, but it can still result in occasional instability.

In summary, the main security concern with traditional Linux distributions is the potential delay in receiving security updates, while rolling releases offer up-to-date software but may require more user vigilance and can occasionally introduce instability due to frequent updates. The choice between them should depend on your specific use case and your willingness to manage updates and stability.

Not yet…

Its a rolling release, so will always have the most up to date and patched packages the fastest. That concept is the antivirus.

Can’t infect your machine if the vulnerabilities are already fixed.

Honestly, the best antivirus for Linux is Arch.
