Yeah, that's cheap... if you earn in Norway 😂 The concept of cheap/expensive only makes sense if you consider it relative to the earnings of the local population, which is why we're usually looking at Purchasing Power Parity and Consumer Price Index which reflects the price of typical goods that everybody needs, or even a very simple but still useful BigMac Index which essentially tells how many burgers you can buy for $50 in each country https://www.economist.com/news/2020/01/15/the-big-mac-index

Well apart from being touristic all middle class from the "actual" Caucasus (republics down in south) perceive it as the closest large city and buy property there as an investment, or to move. This might bump prices up but if you check Nalchik or Elista there's no difference.

Now regarding salaries, this is a list of jobs from a popular "Magnit" network. People I talked to earned ~15k at "salesman" position, which may be due to taxes or some other kind of employee tricks.

Same price range for rent in Nalchik too https://www.avito.ru/nalchik/nedvizhimost?cd=1

No, you can do both in nftables. Either command-line one liners:

nft add element inet main ossec4 { 10.10.10.10, 10.10.10.20 }

Or the same in config file format which is more suitable for atomic loads.

Krasnodar. Flats for rent starting from 10k r/pm which was around $200 back then. 5000 p sounds very cheap, especially in a new building.

These I've seen myself on Avito and not much actually changed https://www.avito.ru/krasnodar/nedvizhimost?cd=1

Can't speak about median salary as I wasn't doing a proper survey - just talking to people. Those I talked to were either self-employed or on paid office jobs and made 15-20k r/pm.

Problem Solving or Political Theatre?

Yeah, that German helmet poster was also quite popular at its time ;)

@loweel @feld @qdemouliere

The main one: rather than series of rather ugly command-line `iptables -A` calls, `nftables` is a quite elegant language.

This ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@qdemouliere @feld

iptables is totally screwed up, but have you tried nftables?

I've converted all my Linux servers to nftables specifically due to its syntax similarity to BSD

@feld

I had these thoughts too but my firewall runs NextCloud and manages a cluster of ZFS drives so it sounded like a lot of work :)

@feld

Ok, unfortunately for some reason FreeBSD is in minority so it's 90% projects I've seen runs on Linux ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Which is not bad in terms of security, and I've especially beloved all its numerous process confinement features (systemd, AppArmor etc) but... it's software so it needs updating anyway.

I've tried HardenedBSD and I'm watching its progress, but I haven't yet found a practical use for it :)

@feld

What you're running? FreeBSD?

@feld

Also the Salt is an interesting case because it comes from a 3rd party repo which won't be upgraded by unattended-upgrade if it's not whitelisted.

A lot of such nuances in infra security...

@feld

Playbooks are for those who know what they're doing. It takes me maybe 15 mins to configure dev-sec.io playbooks and run on a farm of servers, but it took the devs 4 hours to restore access after they locked themselves out when trying to run it themselves 😂

@feld

Precisely - but since the alternative-who-can-afford is effectively paid by selling yourself into digital slavery I prefer to take the risk and chip in myself :)
