I’d say, what kind of security are you talking about? Apart from standard HTTPS to keep things encrypted, there are other layers if you want to keep your service exposed to the internet.

Also how things are installed and if they are correct, proper file permissions. nothing different than having it on the server somewhere. You just need to keep thing up to date and you’ll be fine.

if you’re down with electronic music, theres countless hours of good tunes from the demoscene… check out modarchive.org for example. you can browse by genre.

I have for some reason not watched any Startrek this year, but based on your post I’m looking forward to it.

Could you give me the highlights? What’s good so far and what’s coming?

murty , (edited ) to sysadmin in Patch Tuesday Megathread

Starting my updates today (I typically wait a week to let other people be the test bed), I will update at the end tomorrow or the following day, especially if I run into any trouble.

More importantly though, there’s two substantial changes in Windows Updates this month that you should be aware of if you are not already.

KB5020805 enters the next phase for patching CVE-2022-37967.

This month’s patches do the following:

  • Removes the ability to set value 1 for the KrbtgtFullPacSignature subkey.
  • Moves the update to Enforcement mode (Default) (KrbtgtFullPacSignature = 3) which can be overridden by an Administrator with an explicit Audit setting.

Between now and October is your last chance to look for anything broken by this change, after October 10th patches the ability to undo this change is removed completely.

For more details see: …microsoft.com/…/kb5020805-how-to-manage-kerberos…

KB5021130 enters final phase of patching for CVE-2022-38023

This month’s patches are the final phase of mitigation for this issue. Last month it forced the on everyone, so hopefully you’ve seen and found anything broken, as this month removes the ability to turn this change off due to the following:

  • The Windows updates released on July 11, 2023 will remove the ability to set value 1 to the RequireSeal registry subkey. This enables the Enforcement phase of CVE-2022-38023.

For more details see: …microsoft.com/…/kb5021130-how-to-manage-the-netl…

Check your system logs for both of those KBs (event IDs to look for are outlined later in both articles) before patching.

Edit 1:

Just noticed that “CVE-2023-36884 - Office and Windows HTML Remote Code Execution Vulnerability” has additional remediation steps if you are not using Microsoft Defender for Office. More details and regkey included in this article: msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/…/CVE-2023-36884

Edit 2:

Finished updates last night with no issues. Basic environment overview: Mix of physical and VMs (split between Hyper-V and VMWare), mostly worked on Windows servers last night, 2012 R2 - 2019. Updated VMs and hosts (on both platforms). Everything seems to be humming along nicely.

Lumidaub , to startrek in Anybody feel like 2023 could be another 1997 for Star Trek?

I’m not convinced either way, let me just point out how many people are on strike right now which I know won’t have much of an effect on content immediately this year but might hit hard in the future. I’m interested to hear what this year’s riches would be?

Jarmer , to nostupidquestions in Is there a Decentralised Spotify / Music Platform Alternative?

Licensing issues aside, the most important thing to me about Spotify is the recommendation engine. Their weekly playlists that are autogenerated “Discovery Weekly” and “Release Radar” are amazing and places where I have discovered a TON of new really good music. Any service that I ever switch to would have to have something similar.

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that’s completely fair enough, they do have some good suggestions and I guess it is the way people discover artists these days.

Carter ,

Really? Every time I’ve tried Spotify the playlists have been utterly dire. They just repeat the same select few songs over and over.

Jarmer ,

Well the two I mentioned are autogenerated brand new each week, so they never really repeat anything. At least not that I’ve noticed. Other playlists I don’t really listen to much.

DebatableRaccoon ,

I think they’re probably referring to the auto-generated lists based on top artists the user has listened to. Those are extremely repeat heavy and is why I never use them. Weekly and Radar are terrific though, as you said.

DrChickenbeer ,
@DrChickenbeer@kbin.social avatar

@Jarmer sounds to me like the analogue solution to that is to find DJs or radio stations (very possibly/probably independant community stations) that play the general kind of stuff you're looking for.

Yes! Use Nicotine++, its the best client.

Aww man seeing that name again brings back great memories, I credit that app for my taste in music.

You’d spend more time looking through people’s immaculately sorted folders of music.

There’s on guy in Germany who is solely responsible for the punk bands I listen to.

pieceofcrazy ,

I didn’t know soulseek and downloaded music for the first time in ages, tried listening to some FLACs of songs I only ever streamed and damn now I think I understand audiophiles

BaconIsAVeg , to asklemmy in Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

Micro plastics. We were advertising them in facial scrubs ffs.

lagomorphlecture ,

Plastic in general, except that we know and just keep doing it. I’m trying to use less plastic if I can but it’s frickin everywhere. If you want to buy an ear of corn it’s wrapped in plastic as if it isn’t already wrapped in nature’s protection. Seriously people.

PeachMan ,
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

This right here. We are undoubtedly the plastic generation. And it’s not letting up any time soon; our kids will be included in this cohort as well. Banning plastic bags in cities is next to useless when everything we eat, everything we drink, and everything we buy is wrapped in plastic.

BaconIsAVeg ,

Banning plastic bags I could get behind. It was inconvenient, but necessary. My city just passed an ordinance that all paper bags require a $0.15 charge. As if it wasn’t already $7 for a hamburger, now you get to pay more to keep your fries from spilling all over the car seat.

pfannkuchen_gesicht ,

I was incontinent, but necessary.

Uh, okay then…

BaconIsAVeg ,

Lol! I got your message and was like, wtf?

Addfwyn ,

My country is exceptionally bad about this.

Buy a plastic package of crackers? It will be filled with smaller packages of crackers all wrapped in plastic with a plastic freshener pack for each one. I am not exaggerating. I am not sure I have ever bought something that didn’t have at least two degrees of plastic wrap.

We did stop giving plastic bags out at cashiers unless requested, but that means shitall when everything you buy is triple-wrapped to begin with.

If it makes you feel better a significant amount of microplastics come from tires wearing away on the road.

But muh FOMO!

curioushom , to android in Looking for Rec: Offline note taking app?

Logseq fits the bill. By default it opens today’s date journal page and I just type everything into that and tag it (you can tag at any bullet level within the note). You can also create hierarchical tags like /subtopic1 /subtopic2, so the note will show up for topic regardless of the subtopic.

lamentforicarus , to gaming in I finally got a Switch! What now?

Honestly, check out some of the smaller games as well. Botw and Totk and other Nintendo-based games are amazing, but I've found a lot of indie games fun (e.g., Cult of the Lamb, Hollow Knight, Oxenfree, Spiritfarer, Gris, etc.). The smaller games also get deals the most.

storksforlegs , (edited )
@storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

Yes, for sure! I second this - these indie games are well worth it. (Also dont forget Stardew Valley! Its been my go-to switch game for years.)
