  • I also use ClamAV, but only in specific circumstances, such as when a Linux server will be hosting end-user files. Perhaps a SAMBA server with a file share, or a web server which accepts user uploads.
    In those cases, I might want to have it monitor the relevant part of the disk, but I also need to make sure my web application won’t fall over when the file it just accepted is unceremoniously ripped away from it. You can test that out using the EICAR file as your payload.
    On a jump box, I might also have it turned on for scanning user home directories, by including /home, and then excluding any home directories for applications and daemons which might not deal well with having their IOPS nuked or delayed.



  • Since the original PlayStation in the 90s, I have never owned a Sony product that didn’t disappoint, or just outright fail.
    My wife had a Sony video camera. It broke in a little under 2 years. My Sony car CD player just one day decided to refuse to eject a CD. A place I worked at had Sony Viao laptops as standard, and were forever replacing PSUs and screens. I looked at buying a Sony smart TV, but looked at their forums first, and decided the firmware/software was so full of bugs which were never going to be fixed, that I’d be better off with a CRT display and a VHS machine than whatever they were selling. My brother had a Sony digital camera, which one day, decided it just didn’t want to power on.
    I wouldn’t buy anything Sony if I expected it to last longer than a month.

    Thanks!
    I might give Edge another look. Our work corporate standard machines are MacOS and Chrome, and a heavy sprinkling of Google Apps. I might give it a go on my home stuff, though.
    I used to like Opera until it went Chromium. The performance seemed to tank after that, and it was using waaay more memory than before.

    Interesting. In what ways is Chrome worse than Edge? I have to admit, I haven’t given Edge much of a chance. I primarily use Firefox, except for work things (we use Google apps at work) which I’ve been told to use Chrome for.
    I can’t think of Edge without imagining it as some sort of unkillable Internet Explorer zombie that just won’t die. Is it actually better than Chrome?
