The single best thing you can do security wise, is to NOT have any personal data on a web facing server.

Separate the data

Rereading it does look like you are doing the things right; so just audit what is on the public side. - your calendar and tasks- cool

Your photo and docs, do those need to be on there?

they are not accessible on the WAN

If they are on a server that is publicly accessible, please move them to a different location

Otherwise you sound like your doing well

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

As above; intel will be SO much easier

Macs don’t have a bios. But they boot easily into Linux (again intel)

Enjoy

Sort of like the difference between the cathedral and a bazaar?

Yep. And even I did it in my post. Notice what is missing?

Test your backups!

Agreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption….

Your production stuff, yes should be as well

Would that be sufficient

No.

3-2-1

Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house….

On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that

One off site. So yeah cloud covers that.

Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Is there a thing that you do?

Are you looking to sysadmin or dev or something else?

Libreoffice. Librewolf but then I deal with students… ymmv

🤣

TLDW ???

TLDR:: Bitcoin

We do a quarterly test.

I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.

For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good

Hth

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.

Backups. First and foremost.

Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups

Learn how to verify and restore

It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise

We make it a drinking game…

Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!

Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs

While I appreciate that these benchmarks matter to someone; I’m more interested in hey it runs and is reasonably supported, not requiring hand rolling any config

Hey this XX runs fine.

Sigh, kinda… but don’t forget to factor in your backup costs too

Tee hee. Maybe you could go to Circuit City?

Sorry.

Doing no research, you might find a third party book that has a cd dvd ?

Well yeah. That’s kinda the point I was trying to make…

“It breaks VPNs!!”

Name one….

Oh yeah like a whole bUnCh!!!

Name…… one…

—- and in two articles I’ve seen they still have not named one. Great work there “journalists”

Okay quick question::

All vpns?

Or is there a list of affected v unaffected??

Are they getting their work done?

That’s the only real question, imho everything else is poor management

What issues does Ubuntu LTS have that you need to overcome?

What use case ? - desktops for office work, music production, a student lab?

FWIW. Kubuntu is my favorite, generally used for research and reading, light web mail.
