GnomeComedy, to linux in What's the difference between package manager and why are there so many?

Ok I’ll bite. What’s so bad about dnf? I would take it anyday over apt.

GnomeComedy, to linux in Bcachefs Merged into the Linux 6.7 Kernel

Is this the new “Arch, btw?”

If you think ClamAV on your mom’s laptop on Starbucks WiFi is doing anything useful, but you think fail2ban isn’t - you’re naive.

On phishing - you’ve got another great example. ublock origin or any other decent adblocker will do WAAAAY more to help than ClamAV.

Ideally you keep your configs in a git repo (like github). You know what’s modified because you’re the one who modified them. If you modify them - put that config file in the git repo.

As for “put down” I just meant copied to the system (from github) by your automation (like ansible)

Sounds like you’ve got a better solution, but I think you forgot to mention what it was.

GnomeComedy, to privacyguides in Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?

That, and:

  • put down config files that were modified
  • enable/start services that were installed
  • modify the firewall to open necessary ports

Basically: put everything back as it was right before the ransomware encrypted your system on you.

Then of course - fix what you did wrong that got you compromised. ;-)

No, most desktops behind a NAT probably dont need fail2ban (though it wouldn’t hurt).

Everyone’s security profile/needs are different.

The point is that list does a hell of a lot more useful than ClamAV

You’d be better served learning how to setup and use:

  • backups (and test them)
  • automate your reinstall (see ansible)
  • firewalld (RHEL/Fedora) or ufw (Ubuntu)
  • fail2ban
  • SELinux (RHEL/Fedora) or AppArmor (Ubuntu)
  • disable SSH via password, use keys only
  • adblocker (like ublock origin) - credit to whale@lemm.ee for the idea below
