It wasn't a server failure. Someone rm -rf on the root of the server. The server did what it was told.

It is mostly a translation layer -- WINE is Not an Emulator (WINE). The reason Microsoft 'allows' this is because they have no choice. WINE hasn't broken any laws or violated any copyright or trademarks. Same goes for Proton with DXVK of course.

It updates Secure Boot in the BIOS, so you could completely remove Windows but the Secure Boot update would still be in the BIOS and affect the boot loader.

An elephant cock with the endurance of a cheetah maybe? Or maybe an elephant cock that's easy to spot.

Guest wifi does not mean it is unsecure, it is simply just another logical network. Sure amazon could equip their trucks with wifi I suppose and maybe some TVs would have good connection to update fast enough while a truck is there without a lot of tcp retransmits due to lack of efficient lack of penetration but that's not going effect all brands and surely it isn't something that is currently happening in a large effect.

You could talk about hypotheticals in the future sure but they aren't going to scan for these magical "network ports" that are just hanging around the ether. It needs to have a connection and one that is reasonable in quality and time.

If it doesn't have the passphrase for wifi, how is it going to connect? I rarely see unsecured wifis around neighborhoods anymore. For copper/fiber, you're not going to hook it up to keep it disocnnected.

The specs are old enough to be one of those eMachines. Didn't they have the "Gamer" ones too with the shit specs and a mid GPU too?

I used to do this on one of my sites that was moderately popular in the 00's. I had a link hidden via javascript, so a user couldn't click it (unless they disabled javascript and clicked it), though it was hidden pretty well for that too.

IP hits would be put into a log and my script would add a /24 of that subnet into my firewall. I allowed specific IP ranges for some search engines.

Anyway, it caught a lot of bots. I really just wanted to stop automated attacks and spambots on the web front.

I also had a honeypot port that basically did the same thing. If you sent packets to it, your /24 was added to the firewall for a week or so. I think I just used netcat to add to yet another log and wrote a script to add those /24's to iptables.

I did it because I had so much bad noise on my logs and spambots, it was pretty crazy.

Her tweet was in response to an anti-hate law (Hate Crime and Public Order Act) this year, where you could spend up to 7 years in prison for example, communicating in a way "that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive." So, if charged in Scotland, she could go to prison.

Though she's rich, so probably not.
