  I tested WAFs in the past, also ones from the big players and while they might block some cheesy stuff on the application layer, as long as they are not heavily tailored towards your application, they stop bein effective against most manual stuff.
  Everything lower than application layer ist not a WAF btw, so I am not sure if you mean WAF or some Firewallish stuff.

  Just stick to best practices and expose only what you really need to expose. When putting third parties in front of your stuff this als has data protection implications. If using it makes you feel better okay but it should not feel you more secure if you expose vulnerable stuff.

  A WAF won’t magically solve your problems and free you from your attack surface. Your public facing services should be treated, configured and maintained as such. I am not sure if you include a WAF in the stuff that won’t stop exploitation of vulns, but it definitely belongs there. Yes, it can decrease volume and make exploitation a bit harder but that’s it usually. Also don’t just include proprietary third party stuff and hope it solves your problems.

  Sorry to nitpick but I feel like beimg precise here is important. Nginx is a project, ssh a protocol and VPN an overlay network, so more of a concept. All 3 can be run somewhere on the spectrum between quite secure and super insecure. Also safe and secure are two different things, I guess you meant secure so no big deal.

  If one changes their password afterwards, will the share persist? Old Steam family sharing broke after changing the passwords.

  How do you add new people? I tried and a prompt told me that we don’t seem to share a household.

  Telemetry ≠ Uploading whole documents

  Because I do not want Microsoft to have access to all my documents.

  If you have crypto on coinbase, does that mean you don’t have the private key?

  In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if the post is about GUI vs non-GUI. I read it as use R or pandas instead if SPSS.
