They are watching DHCP Discover option 55. The device tells the server what options it expects to receive, and different vendors and device ask for different options or ask for them in a different order, and they are fingerprinting that.

Cisco also describes the tactic: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/116235-configure-ise-00.html

The fingerprints are viewable at https://github.com/karottc/fingerbank/blob/master/dhcp_fingerprints.conf - it is more specific than a mac vendor but not extremely anti-privacy, anybody watching firewall logs will know an iPhone connected pretty easily too.

You need to say more than that about what your concern is, especially on devices configured for Mac randomization and other privacy features.

Aruba is looking at the dhcp traffic and inferring information about the device. The device is not sending all of this data.

Btrfs can send a snapshot to another machine, but there is no pretty gui for it.

Most file systems cannot do this.

Vorta, Deja Dup (duplicity), duplicati are some others.

Btrfs is well supported.

Btrfs uses snapshots and subvolumes. It is not a traditional partition and can restore to itself.

I think Timeshift is primarily a snapshotting tool for a quick rollback if something breaks. I would not consider it a full backup tool, there are tools that are much more robust and configurable for keeping files safe and elsewhere.

That is for “Site-specific data served by this system” like /srv/www. Can mount anything anywhere of course.

I don’t think so, at least not easily. The specific law says that the list will be regularly updated, that updated list is found in the CFR. Since the law says this will be done, I do not really think it is the same situation, but I am not a legal scholar.

I don’t think so, but someone with more insight may have a different opinion.

The drug schedules are law, not created by the DEA.

What legal precedent is there in US courts for deciding if something is official or personal?

Bringing it up is not unexpected since that has been some of the online fervor. It isn’t uncommon to talk about what people are saying.

You’re arguing that the world has gone mad, which is true.

I think this makes sense, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I don’t agree with some of the things I’ve seen online about having seal team six assassinate political rivals just because one uses the power of the office does not mean it is an official act of the office. That is where courts would decide which is true. Previously they were making the argument for absolute immunity for everything, the Supreme Court said that isn’t the case.

I think there is trepidation because there aren’t precedents yet and this is happening in the context of January 6 and the big lie. I don’t think it ends Trump’s trouble, his speaking to the public that day was on the behalf of DJT, not the president. It gets more murky if someone questions not sending the national guard, was that an official act and just a bad call? The hope would be some sort of reasonable president standard is created but really who knows.

Mark Ewing used to wear a red Cornell lacrosse cap and when he would help in computer labs people would look for a the man in the red hat. The company was called Red Hat after Mark but their logo has been a person in a fedora for a long time.

Fedora is a community continuation of Red Hat Linux, which was discontinued in favor of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Back when I was starting out Fedora wasn't a thing, you downloaded Red Hat Linux for free directly from the company or could buy it in a box.
