  1. Anyone still using Yahoo services after all the hacks wants to start looking elsewhere for email hosting - Yahoo are still not being totally straight with their customers regarding the breaches, but you can count that any sensitive information in your emails, and your account passwords etc have almost certainly been compromised and are out there on the darkweb somewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_data_breaches Where ever you go next, make sure not to use the same password ---------- Post added 18-10-2017 at 22:38 ---------- https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/10/yahoo-says-all-3-billion-accounts-were-compromised-in-2013-hack/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/12/yahoo-reveals-1-billion-more-accounts-exposed-and-some-code-may-have-been-stolen/ ...and theres plenty more where that came from
  2. Nice one mate, I'll have a look at making a live USB and give it a once-over. Usually prefer a more barebones installation myself, rather than coming with a load of software I'll not use, but I'll give it a fair crack, see what's what.
  3. Only just seen that there's a linux thread on here. Pretty cool. Been experimenting for the past couple of years in moving away from the proprietary muck being dished out by Microsoft and Apple. Which, being into music production, hasn't been the easiest of transitions. But the security issues present in both Windows (particularly 10 and its unblockable telemetry and POS updates) and Mac OS (since El Crapitan and the dodgy keylogging stuff as well as the RAM malware stuff) have finally pushed me over the edge. If I buy a computer, I expect to own it, and have control over my system. [/rant] Personally I've found plain old vanilla Debian and Opensuse to be very accessible and very useful and both have very good software repositories. I'm currently in the process of building a pretty beefy workstation for myself that I plan to use to experiment with Qubes OS for virtualisation, as well as playing about further with Debian, maybe Arch if I'm feeling brave. ---------- Post added 17-10-2017 at 20:34 ---------- Also, Bash is soooooo much better than CMD in Windows or Terminal in MacOS. Absolutely love it, Apt is brilliant. Never been so comfortable in the command line as with linux - and this is coming from a numpty musician type!
  4. East & West (got renamed to something totally forgettable for a while but think its gone back to the good old East & West name everyone round here knew before) and Arusuvai (formerly Dhanistas) both on Abbeydale Rd, fantastic food and the staff can't do enough for you. Theres an Arusuvai in Hillsborough as well, can't comment if the foods to the same standard as I've not been
  5. Mod Note: Please post this in the Vacancies section of the Classifieds. Closing. Thank you.
  6. I'm based up Abbeydale Rd way & have a mate with a van, so might be able to take it off your hands. I'll be away this week, back next monday/tuesday (12th/13th)
  7. Hi there, what dimensions are we talking roughly? And is it still up for grabs?
