      Law proposed to weaponise banks against gun owners

      I believe structuring only applies to deposits. If you’re withdrawing, the funds are “seasoned” (aka they bank knows the origin; be it from wages, transfers from other banks, etc.) The only limit on withdrawals is usually how much vault cash is kept on site. Usually it’s well under $10k. When...

      Law proposed to weaponise banks against gun owners

      They do. I work for a credit union and we are trained on the same AML/KYC guidelines. NCUA audits that training on an annual basis as well. I’m in IT and we still get trained on the same subjects as our member facing employees.

      Nice haul, I'm jelly. I had 3 pumpkin plants this season and none produced. I tried a new spot in the garden and I think there was just too much shade and possibly some animal interference. Last season I only had one plant, thought I killed it mid-summer, and ended up with 7 pumpkins.

      Proton VPN set up

      https://ssl-tools.net/mailservers/comcast.net Looks like Comcast's servers support STARTTLS (commonplace nowadays, especially for a huge provider), so there's a good chance that your emails would be encrypted during transport. (Whether that TLS compliance is implicitly enforced or not is a...

      Proton VPN set up

      Most mail servers do not encrypt traffic. Even an email originating from a ProtonMail account will traverse unencrypted relays en route to the destination. Sending mail from one ProtonMail user to another will retain end to end encryption though.

      Proton VPN set up

      I bit the bullet and finally dumped Gmail and paid for ProtonMail last year. The switchover was a pain (from a logistics standpoint and remembering all the accounts to change, I didn’t alias/forward anything.) I just paid in advance for the year with my regular credit card. Too many potential...

      The certificate is invalid.

      Beware USB devices

      Intent is a huge part of it. Deploy only on systems you control or have explicit written consent to deploy (still a gray area, see Coalfire Pentesting case in Iowa.)

      Garden Thread - 2021

      Even if space isn't an issue, being able to define your own soil is a bonus. Since you've got a lot of clay, the raised beds might save you some headaches when trying to crow certain vegetables. As for tilling, some people are vehemently no till, while others see no issues with it. I usually...

      Cedar is a good material. Raised beds are good if you have limited space, but they also allow you to dictate soil density which helps root vegetables like carrots grow straight. Obviously you have better control over soil composition too since you're filling the beds with the material of your...

      Garden Thread - 2021

      This is good advice. Readily available seeds went MIA last spring when the lockdown craziness started. That stuff is all over sites like Amazon now but who knows if that will last.

      Man, busted. It catches most of my Nord options.

      This is a nice tool that you can use to see if the IP address your VPN has assigned is readily identifiable as a VPN/Proxy IP. https://ip.teoh.io/vpn-detection

      I see your local IP in the URL field of the browser but what is the 45.56.183.151 IP address shown in the output right above the timestamp closer to the bottom? I don't know anything about Whoogle but I'm assuming it's still somehow reaching out to the Internet at large to make the queries. I...

      A whois lookup of that IP address shows that it belongs to a block of IPs registered to Web2Objects. Searching for that ISP reveals that several sites identify them as "high risk" for fraud. Google's infrastructure assuredly maintains reference lists of IP ranges belonging to VPN services and...

      Beware USB devices

      This is like my organization. Big time no no. We run Crowdstrike's aggressive policy on all endpoints so USB storage is disabled on every machine by default, but just pulling out a USB drive will get you looked at sideways. Our marketing dept tried to hand out branded USBs a few years ago and...

      Brave has a nice handy import feature that can pull bookmarks from other browsers. Chromium based Edge does the same if you can stomach it (consider it slightly less offensive Chrome.)

      Upgrading Home Network - Need Advice

      Yup, this is a multicast DNS IPv6 address being targeted so something on the network that runs a dual stack is looking to resolve an address. Mobile phone maybe, though I'd think it would be getting an IPv4 address if its on your WiFi. EDIT: I just checked my own pfSense logs and I've got...

      Upgrading Home Network - Need Advice

      Thanks for the details! My setup is similar to yours, with a managed switched feeding access points/ethernet drops etc. So I think I'll take your approach, do as much configuration as possible and then swap my existing router out. Then, VLAN segregation, snort, etc. Nice move on the link...

      Upgrading Home Network - Need Advice

      Nice! I finally bit the bullet and ordered an SG-2100. It came last week and it's just been sitting on my kitchen table. Just need to find the time to "break" my network so I can improve it. Out of curiosity, how did you approach initial config? The way Netgate recommends? Connect WAN interface...
