@damien @GossiTheDog I would say most breach and ransomware victims hire a professional crisis comms vendor. It's another whole sub-industry of the ransomware industry. And those vendors do the opposite of what most cyber people would want. Mostly doing minimal statements, trying to kill stories, and less communication.

@JesseSkinner It depends on the mirror. There are some mirrors that have really old versions around. You can technically skip versions on upgrades, but it's not recommended and may not work correctly.

@da_667 Maybe look into an at home sleep study instead. There are some online, but no idea how great they are. You are just getting started, just wait until you learn about the scam of durable medical equipment (DME) vendors for sleep supplies. There's a bunch of CPAP forums online with people raging about the CPAP industry.

@GossiTheDog Are you sure about that? This subdomain seems pretty important according to the docs and it still is resolving to an Edgecast IP.

File system definitely could be better. Also, I was getting a lot of random crashes and I found that if I disabled xcompmgr they went away, so it may be issues with GPU acceleration.

@joel I wrote a shell script to automatically cycle between 4 states similar to how Microsoft Windows does, extend, second, duplicate, laptop. I have it mapped to a hotkey and also just apm powerup/powerdown rather than hotplug since I use a dock. I thought about trying to share but I may need to clean it up and tweak it some to be usable in other setups.

@GossiTheDog that’s ok, Qualys will be happy to tell you about their acronym year round, it’s even on the third version of it…

Here we go, more posturing that ultimately doesn't fix the problem. :(

Here's what to expect from the Counter Ransomware Initiative meeting this week

The fourth annual gathering of the Counter Ransomware Initiative will include “significant, major new deliverables” according to Anne Neuberger, the U.S. deputy national security adviser.
