This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.

No USB power plug operates at 5 V when providing 65 Watts. That would be 13 Amps. Both power plugs most likey use 15 or 20 volts internally. 19 volts is not allowed over USB.

You can trim it even further:

For a start, try hosting something in your own home. A raspberry or an older PC or laptop should be enough.

My first projects were a print server (so I can print via wifi) and a file server. Try to find something that is useful for you.

Only start hosting on the internet when you’ve learned the basics and have more experience.

It seems like a tedious workflow, but the end result is quite good.

Interesting. What is tge reasoning behind only fetching the comments vs. a full fediverse integration?

Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and not on general desktop PCs.

Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.

Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.

Really? At least 90% of packets I get are deposited without signature.

I think it is necessary to make a difference between delivering cheap stuff and a new iPhone or laptop.

I think counting fediverse users is about as difficult as counting e-mail adresses.

If you vote, post or comment, you count as active user.

They should have split it so both of them can enjoy at least 50% of it.

ssh with an easy to guess root password?

It probably has a large database of exploits it can use. The article claims 20k, but this seems to high for me.

Yes, but they replace common tools like top or lsof with manipulated versions. This might at least trick less experienced sysadmins.

I agree, but I understood this question in the context of a homelab.

And for me, a homelab is not the right place for a public website, for the reasons I mentioned.

No, with these reasons:

• Bandwidth isn’t plenty
• My “uptime” at home isn’t great
• No redundant hardware, even a simple mainboard defect would take a while to replace

I have a VPS for these tasks, and I host a few sites for friends amd family.

I got it a few times over the last years, once on the steam deck.

Just one open source example … freeradius has an option to log passwords:

log {
    destination = files
    auth = no
    auth_badpass = no
    auth_goodpass = no
}

Or another example: The apache web server has a module that dumps all POST data, with passwords, in plain text:

mod_dumpio allows for the logging of all input received by Apache and/or all output sent by Apache to be logged (dumped) to the error.log file. The data logging is done right after SSL decoding (for input) and right before SSL encoding (for output). As can be expected, this can produce extreme volumes of data, and should only be used when debugging problems.

I don’t agree that this is “absolutely malice”, it could also be stupidity and forgetfulness.
