For the South African and other gearheads. When I was a kid in the 1970s the absolute ultimate car was a Ford Capri Perana V8. Even now 50 years later I would seriously think about buying one if the opportunity arises. https://youtu.be/8Kz1T2Psego #cars #classiccars #motorsport #southafrica

Today&#39;s very special WTF moment. Apparently Adobe takes it upon themselves to modify /etc/hosts when their software is broken. Luckily I skipped the March update. Read those release notes people. I also made a screenshot of the insanely long tracking URL you get sent to when you click on the release notes link in the app. #adobe #CreativeCloud #SoftwareUpdates #brokensoftware https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/apps/whats-new/release-notes.html?product=Creative%20Cloud%20Desktop

The dshield.org blocklist is probably one of the most useful IP blocklists I have used over the years. Digital Ocean and OVH IP ranges used to feature prominently. It seems that Google Cloud and Hurricane Electric have taken over lately. See https://isc.sans.edu/feeds/block.txt and also the Internet Storm Center https://isc.sans.edu/index.html #firewalls #blocklist #security #cybersecurity #sans
