I know it's of very little help, but I have not seen this issue, and I've been using Deluge for years (not automated via the arr suite, however)
It would do you well to find out what error it is throwing (check logs). Would be much easier to diagnose if you knew the actual issue.
Because even if an attacker could gain access even as root he cannot modify system files.
They 100% can.
Yeah, I've done the soap thing a couple of times on smaller issues. The second there is any real worry, I'm bringing in the aerosol foam that I can soak the nest with from 20 feet away
That was a rephrasing of the statement, not an answer to the question. He's asking why it matters. What is the "good measure"?
100%. They're the only ones making a decent rotisserie chicken these days, and it's only $8!?
Not sure that transmission supports it, but other torrent clients (qbitorrent, deluge) allow binding the torrent client to your VPN interface. That way, you literally can't torrent on anything but your VPN connection (even if a killswitch fails/the VPN isn't running)
He literally explained why he doesn't use Firefox.
I respect the fuck out of Brolund. He was giving press conferences between firefighting shifts, while also himself being evacuated.
I use a VPS from RackNerd for all kinds of things (my personal Lemmy, for one). Have had it for two and a half years or so with no complaints.
Sidewalk is (to my knowledge) only used by Amazon devices.
My point was more that Amazon advertised a system where if you didn't have internet, don't worry, you can use a neighbours. The current system is all opt in. The issue is that these major companies have never minded hiding other technology or its uses from the end user. We believe we can just block the device from the internet, but it is entirely possible that some of the TV's of today have similar systems to sidewalk (or even just cell connectivity) built right in.
Let's not forget when Google nest security systems sold in 2017 received an OTA update (in 2019) to be able to use voice commands (oops, did we not mention there were microphones in the device you bought?)
I'm not saying everyone needs to slap a tinfoil hat on. I'm just saying that while I also block these devices from the internet, it really feels like any day now things will become more difficult than that (possibly in devices we already own)
Surely they can't survive after this, right? Like, people can't be okay with this.
You can say that speaks volumes about the character of the author (though you are the one assigning said "shame"). You were asking why this report deserves credence. The points raised in the report have citations such that you can decide where you fall on the presented issues.
