Does Linux Need Antivirus? – Sudoedit.com!
https://sudoedit.com/does-linux-need-antivirus/, posted 2020 by peter in linux security
A lot of the information that gets passed around the Linux community is really good, however, sometimes the information surrounding this topic specifically is not always of the highest quality and it can be difficult to decipher fact from fiction.
In light of the fact that I stand by my previous article, and under the realization that I’m really just some guy on the internet; I thought it would be best to reach out to a few experts and see what they say regarding antivirus software on Linux. I thought it was important that the information I passed on was coming from trusted and well-known vendors in both the Operating System space, as well as the perspective of the antivirus makers, and in that regard I will keep my own commentary to a minimum and let the experts speak for themselves.
Spoiler: For Linux itself, no. For the protection of Windows machines, yes, maybe.

Setting up a signed private apt repository with HTTPS access
tomthegreat.com/2018/02/21/setting-up-a-signed-private-apt-repository-with-lan-access/, posted 2019 by peter in deployment howto linux security toread
This is a guide on setting up private apt repository that is accessible over a local network via HTTPS and is signed to avoid having to use –allow-unauthenticated to install packages.
...
For my use case I have two distributions of packages, they are production and test distributions. The packages in each distribution varies based on what I have approved to be used in a live/production environment versus a test environment. This is so that I can separate out packages that I am using for normal everyday use versus ones I am currently testing with and not ready to go live with. If you are only using one distribution modify the instructions accordingly.

QjackCtl and the Patchbay | rncbc.org
www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/76, posted 2018 by peter in audio howto linux reference
When I started using qjackctl I couldn't understand the difference between the patchbay and the connections window. They both seemed to show the same information and the patchbay was not very useful. Now, thanks to various hints on the linuxaudio mailing list, I think I understand how it should work and how useful it could really be. This document is my attempt to share that understanding with those in the same position as I was.

Problems with Systemd and Why I like BSD Init by Randy Westlund | BSD MAG
https://bsdmag.org/randy_w_3/, posted 2016 by peter in linux management opensource opinion software sysadmin
Debian should not have adopted it for at least a few more years; they’re supposed to be the slow, steady, and stable distro. Their quick move to systemd hurt a lot of feelings and caused half their team to leave for Devuan. That shouldn’t happen. If your team is that fiercely split on an issue, the correct response it to leave the status quo alone until cooler heads prevail. Debian lost a lot of their reputation for stability because of this.

Let’s encrypt automation on Debian
eblog.damia.net/2015/12/03/lets-encrypt-automation-on-debian/, posted 2015 by peter in howto linux security
Free SSL certificates for everyone! the https://letsencrypt.org/ initiative backed by Akamai, Cisco, Mozilla and EFF, is going to offer free certificates. On this post I am going to explain how I have automated the process of creation and renewal of certificates, on a Debian server with a lot of virtualhosts with the minimal modification of the apache conf files.
