For people with multiple monitors if you get too much distracted you should try just using 1 monitor it works for me to get my attention to work related things.

splesjaz | 9 years ago | on: Eve Evolved: Analysing Eve's New Economic Reports

I never liked PvE in EVE except for wormholes where I made hundreds of billions but that was with old accounts. I always paid with real money until I made lots of money without doing much. Kinda seems unreal for beginners to pay with in game money ( unless they changed it last year ) specially if you have a job.

Recently bought ; Land of Lisp and it should arrive next week. Heard it's a pretty good book to do some fun with Common Liso

While SELinux enabled distros usually comes with a targeted mode by default Gentoo hardened has strict mode in it's policy rules, everything is confined with that policy.

Usually only targeted applications are confined by default and allowing unconfined applications to run without any protection.

Apparmor is easy and anyone can understand how it works after reading the wiki, while apparmor also has neat functions you need to compile them in sadly :(

OpenBSD is great, first you can leave it running for a long time without thinking about security bugs or updates, instead Linux you have to keep close eye to kernel updates & application patches, that's why things like mailservers & DNS & NTP and more are running OpenBSD because I know it doesn't need critical updates every week and uptime is critical for me.

splesjaz | 9 years ago | on: Javascript exploit actively used against TorBrowser

VMs are all nice and that but if the exploit can compromise the TBB it's too late already, sandboxing needs to happen in the browser on Linux you can use namespaces + strict seccomp rules but don't know what one would use for Windows. First priority would be to sandbox the browser and work your way down if you want to sandbox more stuff. For Windows EMET can help to prevent certain exploits I guess but yea a browser that can access anything on the filesystem & system calls is badstuff.
