Any i686-compatible distro running XFCE. Matrox cards are not well supported AFAIK, and probably can't handle 3D effects; so Unity, Gnome 3, and...
Too little too late. (And 99% of Android users won't be able to update anyway.)
Ah nice, remote holes and local kernel holes galore. :( At this point, I mostly deal with smart phone security by not actually using mine as a...
@lunarlander Is this for a desktop system, or a multiuser/server type affair? *** I don't know a lot about Windows system internals, especially...
USBee looks pretty specialized. More designed to assist espionage jobs already equipped with expensive gadgetry. Now, if they could fiddle with it...
@Mrkvonic I think home use would make more sense at this point than server use. Having to build a new kernel and userland for your servers is...
@oliverjia It's probably on their end, but it could be on yours. DNS can do what you describe. IMO it would be prudent to check your DNS...
This is closely related to Windows 7's update nightmares... System updates on NetBSD, and especially OpenBSD, are a mess. FreeBSD has recently...
I had a long rant about this, but I deleted it... For now my take is: a) Making it easier to keep Windows fully patched is a very, very good...
Thank you for posting this, @ronjor. IIRC Bruce Schneier had been advising against the continued use of Blowfish as a for quite a while. [Edit:...
It's been a while since I've seen serious malware problems. On my home network, ad blockers and outbound packet filtering seem to take care of...
"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bull." Or something like that, I guess. :(
For me, the only workaround turned out to be the recent SP1 update rollup. That installed pretty fast on a fresh SP1 system, IIRC in less than an...
@Mrkvonic There's a difference between being level-headed and being in denial.
@Mrkvonic Did you read the article? On newer Intel CPUs it cannot be disabled, and is required for a computer to boot. (I mean, it's only a...
Okay, updates... Points #1 and #2 turn out to be unnecessary. Any ACL will default-deny all traffic not explicitly permitted. So for restricting...
I have an old Cisco 1841 that I bought on EBay, for education and bandwidth/latency reasons. It performs very, very well on my 20 Mbit...
That is very strange. Even a dedicated live distro shouldn't exclude ext3/4 from the kernel, let alone in favor of something obsolete. Hmm. Let's...
Yeah, if you already reformatted to ext4, then you should probably stick with ext4. Said filesystem performs better on modern devices than...
@hogndog Boot Knoppix again. Then mount the hard disk partitions (as root); chroot in; apt-get install the reiserfs tools; and reboot. The...
So, update: I think I found the problem, and can probably stick with GMail for now... I had a filter in place to auto-delete most emails over one...
@Joxx Thanks, missed that. Having just seen the news about Opera getting bought out, I was wondering if that would be a problem; glad to hear it...
@Peter2150 Comcast is a non-option unfortunately. I've seen personally how their sausage is made; their site security is garbage, and I don't...
I've recently become aware that GMail is silently failing to receive emails from certain parties. Said emails appear "sent" from the sender's...
Most phones do not support GNU/Linux, AFAIK. They're designed for Android, and often vendor-locked. None of them are remotely secure, or...
Separate names with a comma.
