Man, I did just sneak in after /etc/shadow became standard in the 90s.

I was just before it.

I was way after.

Is this where I yell "Get off my lawn you young whippersnapper!"?

It's certainly where I do.

Correct. MS account is totally separate from O365 account.

Unless you use the same account for everything. Well, then it is still separate, but seems the same and is very confusing.

Don't ask me how I know. 🙂

LUKS will work great for that. We used it in big finance to deal with stuff like government bank account details.

Yup, monarchies are surprisingly decent.

Any updates to this?

Use Certbot never this method. keep your life simpler.

Yeah. If the old way is working, that should keep working. However, certbot is easier to use.

When my system came up for renew after certbot was out, I installed certbot and renewed that way. everything is in the same pace. nothing had to be changed in the config files.

@MattSpeller

Thanks for the writeup for us noobs.

I bet the primary case is buildings burning down and people making off with the server from the ashes 😉

I've heard of people having fires, not heard of anyone having a stolen server in the real world. Even with SMBs rarely doing anything to protect against it.

Just gut instinct but the whole TC saga has given me bad vibes and I don't trust it 100% like I used to

That is what I am running into Matt.. I like and want to support OpenSource all I can. I need a product I can rely on... but I have reservations...

What is causing the reservations? TC/VC is not the best product ever, that's certain, but what actual concerns are there versus just fear mongering what SW spread a lot of? I'm not vouching for the product, just saying I've seen nothing of concern yet.

Apple iCloud is a player too, I would imagine.

The expensive one.

Thanks, great resource.

What the hell is up with the author of that article basically down playing the entire thing because it does not prevent SQL injection?
Seriously WTF?

I agree, that is a bunch of BS. This is about on-disk data at rest security and is a decently big deal.

I want even suggesting that our liberties, security and protection be removed be a criminal request that would land you in jail. But sadly, he still roams free.

I agree, Scott... Maybe we should start petitioning our state and national leaders to craft a bill of some sort... We'll call it the "Lock 'em up and throw away the key" bill.

The Law: Any elected or appointed government official, national, state, or local, that in any form, being verbal, written, or otherwise tries to push through, pass, or create a bill that that would infringe upon rights granted to all non-incarcerated citezens by the Constitution of the United States of America shall be immediately locked up in the nearest maximum security correctional facility, stripped of their title and elected privileges, and shall remain there until they are dead.

Gosh... that sounds kinda harsh, don't it?

Harsh is what is needed. Someone intending to oppress and terrorize the citizenry should be treated very harshly. Just because our laws currently allow such unethical, immoral behaviour doesn't mean it supports our ethical code, our social code or the freedom of our people.

Good thing the NSA has stopped dozens of terrorist attacks...oh wait they haven't stopped a single one.

Can you prove that they have not? 🙂

If the NSA ever stopped anything they would be gloating about it to justify their exsistence. As discussed before, even if they saved 50 lives a year it still isn't worth the invasion of privacy. More people die from hornets and wasps every year.

I wonder how many people die every year commuting to work at the NSA, of stress caused by the NSA, actually killed by the NSA, due to trying to hide from the NSA, etc.

More than the NSA has saved, that's for sure.

Can't you still install CPanel yourself?

Why? What is the benefit / point?

Ease of use and documentation galore

I would definitely prefer working with Sophos over TrendMicro anyday.
