  • Do not, under any circumstances, conduct any private business on it. What isn’t being logged by Microsoft and shared with your employer, advertisers, various governments will be screenshot’d every n seconds. Additionally, I highly suggest, if you haven’t already, to setup a separate VLAN for this device if you ever bring it home and connect it to your home network. Defender absolutely does passive sniffing and active network scanning now. It will also be collecting and logging visible SSIDs as well. Enjoy!


  • So the thing with useful quantum computers is that if they ever do make it actually work and manage to scale it up, the first thing they will do is render most modern encryption obsolete over night. My guess is that Bluffdale has a mountain of encrypted data they’d start cracking immediately.

    My cynicism can’t allow me to think that we’d hear about it until years after that backlog is cleared and the NSA (and now by extension Israel and Russia) have backdoored any network of interested 10 times over.

    The far more likely scenario is that this like stable/cold-ish Fusion, practical graphene, CRiSPER miracle cures are still way more theory than driveable cars at this point and for next several years at least. These folks just want more money and have to keep claiming they are close to get it.






  • You might have too many old kernels installed. This would potentially fill up the /boot partition. One way to check this is:

    df -h

    Look for the line indicating space left for /boot.

    You can then get a list of the installed kernels with:

    dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep linux-image

    If you need to remove old ones, use uname -a to identify the running kernel (should be the latest version if you’ve rebooted after the last kernel update) then remove all of the older kernel packages with:

    sudo apt remove -y linux-image-amd64-xxxx

    More generally speaking, I think that sudo apt autoremove should leave you with only the latest 2 kernel packages by default.
