Update: the DDoS has passed, but this line of defense will stay in place for the time being. We can switch back and forth between the two setups (with and without Anubis) and will probably make that happen in the near future.

I did several pkg upgrade and now have # uname -KU 1501502 1501502 # cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf FreeBSD-base: { url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints"...

Because as strange as it may appear (and strange it is), going from RELEASE to STABLE is a downgrade from pkg point of view. I guess it's the same for a BETA version. Reference: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2703 What I wondering is how...

xrandr shows available resolutions and refresh rates. The maximum should comply with the max capability of the model.

This is exactly what I was asking my girlfriend earlier.

I have a number of routers from my local Salvation Army that appear to be original. However, once you connect to the ROM chip, you can see they are ready to phone home (and do). I'm waiting to find more.

It's a temporary attack and it doesn't particulary harm anyone except the domain visitors. What could even be a motive? I think it was some 1-person experiment. You can search for lists of public forums and their database setup and probably also...

I feel like I shouldn't laugh at that one, but I did.

Interesting. Is this documented anywhere? I see you're kind of doing the opposite (I have a trunk port where I want each VLAN to attach to a unique bridge)...

Yes, it seems to be better now. DutchDaemon, thanks for your efforts. This forum is a valuable resource, and I suspect most of us, including me, don't usually appreciate your efforts.

It seems over again. The botchecker works pretty good. Looks like validated real ip's get priority but the server still has to take the incoming traffic too far because it all looks the same. It feels offensive. I would take a sample of some ddos...

Anubis works fine as a first line of defense. The main objective was to build a dam between the front door (nginx, very lightweight) and the much heavier intermediary (php) and backend (mysql) processes. Before implementing Anubis, every bot...

There are no patterns in a DDoS. All IP addresses belong to trojaned equipment whose owners have no idea that their 'smart' washing machine or their outdated phone is being operated from a botnet Command & Control server. You will easily find...

Al Chances are that if they are able to get an accurate source IP that it's in Russia or some other country that doesn't generally prosecute for cybercrimes targeting people in other countries. Personally, I have to appreciate that at least the...

That is a misconception. Any bot that does not solve javascript can be kicked out in a second. There is quite a lot of extra configuration needed in Nginx and Anubis itself to quickly cut all ties with bots, or they will consume your resources by...

It might, It might, the instructions I found said that that gets added to the browser. But, the instructions might be wrong as none of the browsers seem to particularly respect the certs.

Canvas is expensive. Maybe he just painted over previous attempts? As far as homosexuality of Leonardo is concerned I am very skeptical. There is a strong bias in post-modern academia to paint every odd/nerdy and/or unmarried guy as homosexual.

There surely is an xray of the picture. In that, you would see any paint-over actions, which is an indicator of being authentic. If you see a newly discovered Rembrand and it has been painted in one sitting, no corrections, you should keep your...

Is that related to this issue? I am on Kaby Lake (i3 7th) and I had the issue to randomly lost HDMI audio (pulseaudio btw not pipewire) , the workaround mentioned there did the trick for me as well, HTH

Ugh… so I spent a few days on this and then realized that whatever combo of old/new vlan/bridge/interface config styles I was using in rc.conf were just not working. Not sure why yet, which is common these days for me as I'm trying to dig in and...

What are you using for managing the dual boot? I'm interested in different solutions, but for now I'm just using two separate drives and use the EFI boot manager of the motherboard.

I have two separate NVME drives in my laptop. I set the FreeBSD drive as the first boot option. I hit F12 to select the Windows drive if I want to boot Windows. I let Windows believe it's the only OS on the box. The Windows drive doesn't have...

No, there is in fact not, and I resent your implication. Wayland is not even at feature parity with xorg, as far as I have read. Yet, the linux community is attempting to make it the default, mainly by attrition. Please stop trying to turn my...

yeah it would be cool, but to complex for the purpose. the key read is ugly as it is. bash has better support but i tried to make it work without any package installed.

Yep. This is great advice that I learned long ago.

Nice. Improvement would be to read the multi-byte input of the arrow keys. Compare the read input through hexdump? It's 3 bytes in xterm... read test && echo $test | hexdump gives a messy output but you can distinguish function keys.
