Rotate the board 90 degrees counterclockwise

I’ve never considered that since I’m in cybersecurity, so the oldest paper I’ve seen that is from the late 80s. The majority is from the mid 90s onwards though, and due to the fast moving nature of the field anything that is old enough to have a dead author is likely out of date.

Paywalled articles are still openly available if you politely email the researcher. While we should strive to have no barrier, if you can’t afford to publish openly those who need the research can still acquire it under the table. Having research unpublished because the researchers could not afford to pay the fee is worse than having the research published in a closed journal.

I’ve gotten a few dozen papers from closed journals that way, and I’ve never been told no.

Personally, I want to see the removal of capitalism, as it is a terrible system, alongside other oppressive systems like the State. Because that doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t something congress would ever vote on, I support strong social systems, high taxes on the wealthy and corporations, strong environmental protections, and especially legislation that strengthens communities. Strong worker protections and benefits wouldn’t be bad to see either.

It can also be used to manually harden fedora 39, which I think is great as well!

When I was at college, I used a free tier AWS box to allow me to make things inside the school network public through some SSH and proxy shenanigans, and I used the box to let me escape the anti-vpn firewall rules they had by tunneling my VPN service through SSH

Unfortunately, this is a third party, but considering its a cloud platform, it might be a bit more reliable than a third party service.

I’ve been pretty depressed by the current political atmosphere in the US, lately, and living in a more conservative area of my state makes it even more alienating. Today, I went to a left wing book fair at a city I’m considering moving to, and it was an amazing change of scenery.

This looks like a port scanning address, which is normal. Being scanned is just a fact of life if you host a service on the internet. What exactly was in your access log? Is it a connection on / ? Is it a 404 on a weird path? Is it accessing data on a service you run?

Personally, I’d block the IP and move on, since 99 times in 100, its not too big of a deal since an automated scan won’t do much. If it is scanning services you actively run, it would warrant digging in deeper, reading all logs and bit more closely, but it is still not too likely it will result in an intrusion.
