You can press up-arrow or down-arrow to walk through a list of previous commands in most modern shells like bash, tcsh, fish, zsh and others in #Linux / #FreeBSD / #macOS/ #Unix. Another option is to hit CTRL+R & type the command to recall. See:
help history
man bash
man fish
man zsh

@nixCraft all are white, all are able-bodied, there is at best one female person. This picture is part if the problem for sure.

@nixCraft Thanks and love to all the solo developer-maintainers 🫶

I'm not surprised at all. Brute Fail: Watch brute force SSH attacks fail in real time brute.fail/. Hence, I suggest reading my OpenSSH best security practices guide for #Linux, #FreeBSD, and #Unix cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix- to secure your server against these bots. #infosec #security #sysadmin

I remember seeing Scott and other random names in my alerts send by Fail2Ban and I always wondered: who were these people that they appear in those brute force lists?

@nixCraft My SSH server only listens to the VPN, so first of all one needed to compromise my VPN.

Anyone remembering Siri recommending Nokia when asked what the best mobile phone is?

Channeling the Enterprise Security Architect vibe...

Don't you know that somebody might rEplAcE filEs oR aDd a kEy?? Are you committed to security at all??

@nixCraft public keys managed with an initialization Ansible role.

I've tried ssh certs, but it's more annoying to manage for my setup so far

@nixCraft I use pubkey(mainly) or password+totp(for emergency reason)

Don't you have a pointless meeting to schedule?

@nixCraft if you start the meeting by blasting all the useless people with a phaser at max output then the meeting will end up with everybody in agreement and it will be pretty productive.

A meeting whose only agenda item is to schedule future meetings? Why sure! :eyeroll:

Had I decided to be a manager I probably would have a pointless meeting to schedule.

Fortunately, having developed a disdain for pointless meetings, I chose a different career path.

@nixCraft There's a difference between getting sh*ts done and getting sh*ts done correctly

@nixCraft You know it has been a rough week when you have to pull out the recovery USB for a second time

That's neat :-) The TikZ package is quite powerful. I think I have been using \LaTeX for quite a few decades. I used to typeset The Journal of the Royal Society of NSW in it for many years. Was a lot more pleasant than using MS Word :-) I was chuffed when I made a LaTeX package for cave maps. It's my only one though: ctan.org/pkg/scalebar?lang=en

@nixCraft fwd @samcarter@fosstodon.org: just in case you didn't see that one yet :)

@nixCraft My first attempt to install Linux, intent was to dual boot, was Red Hat 5.1 and I did exactly that.

I got 5.2 installed properly a bit later.
