Over the last year, the volume of garbage from Google cloud bad actors has become very noisy. Here is a fail2ban filter that has been working well for me with postfix. It’s been running for over a week and already minimizing the noise in the logs.
I wanted to post my notes on this for anyone else trying to compile Virtualbox with virtualbox-kvm from source on a modern Linux OS. The Error: I was getting a unit32_t error and never could figure out what it was when I started the compile. The Fix: was to give it a revision on the […]

Running Debian Trixie/Sid with as new kernels as it can get but not able to get the ipu6 camera working on Debian. Below is from dmesg If anyone has it going, please let me know.
After melting down my older Carbon X1 Gen 10, I just got a Gen 12 and audio started to be an issue on the Gen 10 before it died when I went to Debian Trixie for some reason. I lost the internal mic but didn’t think much of it with ear buds and speakerphones, it […]

Agree with the below from ChatGPT itself but would also be for just normalizing #ShowThePrompt or basically ALWAYS including the prompt given as well as the output. Essentially, show your source along the lines of bibliographies (https://www.bibliography.com/how-to/bibliography-rules-and-guidelines/) or footnotes.

Found myself chasing-down a recent attack and decided to do a reboot on a server and fail2ban had to re-block on restart. Thought I would share just as people search on attacking IP addresses to confirm, yes, they are bad actors. If they are on this list, they have tried to do bad stuff to […]
