  • I think with respect to the bodies, you should read up about Noble, Georgia, USA.

    Dead bodies are ABSOLUTELY dealt with in very stupid ways because they are a pain to deal with, heavy, and people doing their jobs aren’t thinking “what will this look like when it is found or on sattelite imagery”. They throw a few bodies on a pile to deal with later, then a few more because they are too busy or the crematorium is broken, or their digger is broken, and then it gets out of hand and it becomes way too big of a job for the people who’s job it is.

    They are not in the middle of a city having to worry about people stumbling on it.










  • This is absolutely so true. All of the “hunting” survivalists don’t realize that you would essentially have 1000 people hunting every 1 deer if you live in the suburbs and not that much better rurally. This isn’t 1800 anymore.

    The best thing you can do is have enough land to farm, learn how to farm, and stock the hell up on base ingredients (wheat, rice, dry beans, lentils) and stock up on as many seeds as you know how to grow. Even then; one bad harvest and you starve.

    But seriously, I can’t stress dry beans and lentils enough. They last forever, they can be sprouted and replanted, and they have many many times more protein than corn or rice which is very important when you go vegan.

    Also getting ducks will give eggs for additional protein and B12 vitamins that you would miss out on otherwise.


  • Dropping instead of blocking might technically be better because it wastes a bit more bot time and they see it as “it doesn’t exist” rather than an obsticle to try exploits on. Not sure if that is true though.

    For me:

    • ssh server only with keys

    • absolutely no ssh forwarding, only available to local network via firewall rules

    • docker socket proxy for everything that needs socket access

    • drop non-used ports, limit IPs for local-only services (e.g. paperless)

    • crowdsec on traefik for the rest (sadly it blocks my VPN IPs also)

    • Authelia over everything that doesn’t break the native apps (jellyfin and home assistant are the two that it breaks so far, and HA was very intermittent so I made a separate authelia rule and mobile DNS entry for slightly reduced rules)

    • proper umask rules on all docker directories (or as much as possible)

    • main drive FDE with a separate boot drive with FDE keyfile on a dongle that is removed except for updates and booting to make snatch-and-grabs useless and compromising bootloader impractical

    • full disk encryption with passworded data drives, so even if a smash and grab happens when I leave the dongle in, the sensitive data is still encrypted and the keys aren’t in memory (makes a startup script with a password needed, so no automated startups for me)

    For more info, I followed a lot of stuff on: https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server




  • And yet when the republicans were in the same minority situation, they have been able to block tons of major government functions, judicial appointments, and laws being passed. When the dems were in power they needed right wing compromises somehow because “otherwise the republicans would block it”.

    The past 40 years have literally been lesson after lesson on how to completely make the machine grind to a halt when you have an opposition party. They choose to take not one single lesson from it and not lift a single finger when it matters.
