  Reminds me of the KDE guy who quit Red Hat when they used to do exactly that (make KDE behave like GNOME) like 20 years ago.

  How about just basic network home directory support? It’d be nifty if I could still open Firefox when my home directory is NFS/autofs

  That’s the OP is talking about selling out

  If you think ClamAV on your mom’s laptop on Starbucks WiFi is doing anything useful, but you think fail2 ban 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  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 entire system on you.

  Everyone’s security profike/needs are different. The point is that list does a hell of a lot more useful than ClamAV

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

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

  • backups (and test them)
  • automate your reinstall (see ansible)
  • firewalld
  • fail2ban
  • SELinux (RHEL/Fedora) or AppArmor (Ubuntu)
  • disable SSH via password, use keys only
