Re:NSA Kubernetes Hardening Guidance [pdf] on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @09:56PM (#28056401)
I get a "cannot find requested file" page when trying to get the actual file. The IAD library stopped being updated in 2018 and the link has apparently bitrotted. Cryptome still has a copy, FWIW [0].

Having said that, the last thing I tried implementing from the NSA was a simple systemd service to disable ptrace [1]. The provided service definition had at least three errors, and the instructions themselves were incomplete. Not exactly a confidence builder, but I'll take a look at this one so thank you.

Re:Why I still use an old PowerPC Mac on Monday August 03, 2020 @02:58AM (#24034876)
I can recommend the GWU637, with caveats. I spent 3 months in a hotel wrapping up a contract and starting a new job where the hotel wi-fi hated my Mac. Phone - fine. Tablet - fine. Mac? Might as well not have existed. It runs pretty hot and there's no 802.11ac support but often when you need this, that isn't an option anyway. There's an undocumented /menu.asp page that you're almost certainly going to need for anything other than a 192.168.1 network.

An alternative that works would be "Google search link fix" [1], which is written/maintained by the current developer of Adblock Plus. (There's probably no reason that the core script [2] couldn't be adapted into a userscript for Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/etc. if he isn't considered trusted.) It does currently have a problem on Firefox for Android where a long-press on a link doesn't trigger the tracking removal. [3]
