This video describes how to install Home Assistant Supervised. Home Assistant (former Hass.io) is a container-based system for managing your Home Assistant Core installation and related applications. The system is controlled via Home Assistant which communicates with the Supervisor. The Supervisor provides an API to manage the installation. This includes changing network settings or installing and updating software.

Based on a best-selling book by New York Times national security correspondent David E. Sanger, The Perfect Weapon explores the rise of cyber conflict as the primary way nations now compete with and sabotage one another.
Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker John Maggio (Panic: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis) and featuring interviews with top military, intelligence, and political officials on the frontlines of cyberterrorism, the documentary brings to light the combatants and innocent victims caught in the crosshairs of a hidden war that has been going on for decades — a war that America started, but has no idea how to finish.
Traveling from the deserts of Iran and Las Vegas to the back alleys of Beijing and Moscow, the film chronicles America’s pursuit of enemies who have plotted against its institutions, its economy, and its democracy. A never-before-seen look inside the secret world of spies, hackers, and scammers in the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. elections, for which fear of cyberattacks has mounted to an all-time high, The Perfect Weapon is a timely reflection on the ultimate price — and potential “victors” — of this high-stakes conflict.

If you have any kind of server connected to the Internet, you are no doubt aware that no matter how small or unimportant it might seem, it is frequently probed, tested or subject to various attempts at abuse. These attacks come from so many malicious hosts that it is impossible to keep track by hand. So I started looking for a way to implement an automated blocklist to use with iptables and firewalld which I use on my servers.

The tutorial is for Red Hat family server distributions like CentOS 7.x, Red Hat 7.x, Fedora29 or newer (current version is 32), etc.
For Debian family server distributions like (Debian, Ubuntu etc.) I recommend to read this article: How To Setup Telegraf InfluxDB and Grafana on Linux, however it does not contain the own domain and fail2ban setup.
Continue reading “How to setup and secure Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana on Linux”Note, the following tutorial is a part of my engineering work entitled “Hardening of a Linux-based network server” under the direction of Ph. D. Kordian Smolinski in the Department of Theoretical Physics WFiIS UŁ defended in June 2019.
To install Fail2Ban on CentOS 7.6, you will first need to install the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. EPEL contains additional packages for all versions of CentOS, one of these additional packages is Fail2Ban.

There was an opportunity like a blind chicken grain long ago and I hunted the domain for free sysadmin.info.pl. Originally the idea was to use it for engineering work and so it happened. Three months later again an opportunity came up, which I couldn’t miss. This time the virtual machine on OpenVZ for funny money. If you are interested, please contact https://mikr.us. After clicking on the link you will get a 5% discount on the server for the year
