    After I'm done with semester exams, I'll try to port some endpoints. Is there a running list of shit that still needs to be implemented? Or should I just look in the Rust and TS, compare?

    Edit: NOT_IMPLEMENTED_ERROR lel. Guess I'll work out some of these.

    Don't rely on AV, it will only keep you safe from bottom of the barrel low effort attacks. Most of the work that goes into securing your computer, accounts and identity is knowledge of the threat landscape, monitoring , vigilance and precaution (e.g. recognize potential threats, plan your security based on who they are. Run unknown programs in a isolated VM. Don't open documents from the internet. Compile shit yourself. Check for strange registry keys/files/processes).

    This is advice looked down upon, but running a lesser used OS like a linux distribution will greatly reduce your chances of attracting malware. Simply because the vast majority of malware targeting users (not IOT, servers, etc) is infecting Windows or MacOS (that's where the users are). If you go this route, still use all the previously mentioned advice (besides AV. There is no good AV for linux, and it is not needed).

    That said, for Windows, Defender or Malwarebytes is all you'll ever need (don't purchase a premium AV product).

    Remove the Google/government spyware from Android, use an alternative distribution like Lineage. Any phone supported by LineageOS, made within the past six years should be adequate for most purposes.

    I would've compensated myself with that amount of ignorance displayed by whoever does the accounting. 2k/m on servers can get you some nice GPU instances to mine on 😈

    Interesting that they left their email services opened, with a SSL certificate that includes their hostname, but not their HTTP services. I wonder if they were attempting to prevent this leakage (by only allowing RP connections from ddosguard on their webserver or something), but were foolish enough to have these services on the domain domain.

    Unlikely, but this would be an amazing wake up call for the world to stop relying on this non-scarce infinitely-minting shit FIAT.
