    People who experimented with Konsole and tmux: what's so special about tmux for you?

    On your local machine. You can run tmux and have several terminals. You can also use Konsole to do this, but Konsole doesn't support split screen in a single terminal (two terminals in one window) On a remote machine, you ssh to the remote machine and then run tmux. Now you have one...

    What's the advantage of Kali Linux?

    I'm sure I'm about to repeat what others have said, but... Kali Linux is a tool. I do not recommend it as your daily desktop. This is like buying a dump truck for your daily errands. If you need a dump truck, buy one. Though you probably still want your sedan / pickup for daily...

    People who experimented with Konsole and tmux: what's so special about tmux for you?

    oh btw. I actually use applications that support tabs also. (mRemoteNG, Konsole, etc) Though I still use tmux. Remember, console apps that have tabs are local to your machine. They are not local to the remote machine. tmux is local to the remote machine. This is what makes detaching...

    People who experimented with Konsole and tmux: what's so special about tmux for you?

    I use tmux for several reasons. Sometimes I need more than one terminal on a machine (single physical window, access multiple terminals) Sometimes I run a cli application and want to tail the log at the same time (split pane, single window) I have jump servers. (basically single ssh gateway...

    ClamAV has a bit of a learning curve...

    Really, only you can answer that. People always say Linux is safer than Windows, but in truth. They are both vulnerable all the same. There are just more direct attacks against Windows because it is the most widely used OS out there and if you're looking for compromise a specific...

    ClamAV has a bit of a learning curve...

    I have purchased 3 licenses for Comodo for $75/year ($25/machine) Though they were running on Windows machines (Family PCs) My home linux servers aren't running it though they could. At work where we run a large e-commerce site and an enterprise with close to 1000 pcs and macs. It's...

    ClamAV has a bit of a learning curve...

    AVs are no longer best practice. You want an EDR solution. They are far better than standard AV. HIPS is a huge part of what makes the difference.

    Qnap Nas share timeouts

    If you are exposing your NAS to the Internet and based on the fact that you said your router ports are open. You are making a mistake by doing that. If you need access to your NAS from outside your home network, use a VPN or use RealVNC or something similar. Everytime I hear someone crying...

    VPN Help

    Couple of things: Nothing is truly free. You just may not know how you are paying for it. There is no such thing as a 100% anonymous VPN. Traces always exist. If you want as close to true anonymity, you must implement it layers. To remove local traceability, you need to operate from virtual...

    Local POSTFIX cannot send to Gmail

    @blunix you will have to explain to me how OpenSMTPd is superior to postfix and primarily how it's more secure. (the primary reason to use postfix) I'm not saying OpenSMTPd is not better, I've personally never used it, but you say that it's far easier which struck me as odd. That's likely...
