cyberangerafter a little while, quit00:00
aedendmaybe, but this happens a lot. It seems every month there is a company that's had a breach of secure information00:00
cyberangerThat's generous, daily00:00
cyberangerit's just not everything gets reported00:00
cyberangerand protecting against a nation's cybercrime/cyberintelligence/cyberwarfare units isn't exactly standard operations when alot of this has happened00:01
aedendok, soooo Digital Ocean is somehow more secure than the companies I've read about _and_ the companies you know about?00:01
cyberangerNo, I don't think Digital Ocean is more secure00:02
cyberangerI think if you want secure, you Do it yourself00:02
cyberangerI mean, if it has to hold, you make it hold00:02
cyberangerif you offload part of what your doing to somebody else, you trust them, their security policies AND abilities to keep them00:03
aedendok, so I guess the questions I was asking is answered by - you take the risk when you rely on someone else's servers00:03
cyberangerYeah, and secure your own setup as needed too00:04
aedendhardening an system is not something I'm prepared to do at this point, I still have a lot to learn00:04
aedendThats one of the reasons I'm doing this LFS thing, so I can learn from the inside and... by mistakes :)00:05
Unit193I'm not saying I'm the best at hardening...00:05
aedendI look at it like this. At work I might have a pump that is not supplying pressure at the rate or flow I need00:06
aedendI could adjust the compensator to increase volume, but thats not enough for me. I want to know the pumps' design and how the compensator works00:07
aedendUsing an analogy here, maybe not a good one. But I apply the same mindset to learning linux00:08
* cyberanger wonders what censorship loving country he can fly to for some testing.....without freaking out our own "intelligence" agencies06:38
* aedend wonders if he should cut off all ties to cyberanger :)10:43
wrstaedend: I have been really happy with DO, my main use is owncloud, and also a quassel core i'm using the 10 buck plan just for the storage, but for a wordpress site the 5 buck plan will more than likely be more than you will need11:16
cyberangeraedend: lol14:14
cyberangeraedend: I can't advise you one way or another18:12
cyberangerjust a shame the only way to prove something works at times is to take it to the real world, stick it in a hostile enviroment, and them watch it work18:12
cyberangerApperently I just got retweated by Chattanooga's Channel 918:14
cyberangerthey were asking for least likely speakers of the house, for some fun poll I guess18:14
cyberangerbefore the tweet was 10 seconds old, I gave them three names, Vladimir Putin, Osama Bin Laden and Bashar Al-Assad18:15
cyberangerFunny how only Vlad is getting the attention18:15
* cyberanger does enjoy poking the bear....holding an assult rifle.....from time to time18:16
