Donald A. Tevault

Sinopse

The third edition of Mastering Linux Security and Hardening is an updated, comprehensive introduction to implementing the latest Linux security measures, using the latest versions of Ubuntu and AlmaLinux.

In this new edition, you will learn how to set up a practice lab, create user accounts with appropriate privilege levels, protect sensitive data with permissions settings and encryption, and configure a firewall with the newest firewall technologies. You’ll also explore how to use sudo to set up administrative accounts with only the privileges required to do a specific job, and you’ll get a peek at the new sudo features that have been added over the past couple of years. You’ll also see updated information on how to set up a local certificate authority for both Ubuntu and AlmaLinux, as well as how to automate system auditing. Other important skills that you’ll learn include how to automatically harden systems with OpenSCAP, audit systems with auditd, harden the Linux kernel configuration, protect your systems from malware, and perform vulnerability scans of your systems. As a bonus, you’ll see how to use Security Onion to set up an Intrusion Detection System.

By the end of this new edition, you will confidently be able to set up a Linux server that will be secure and harder for malicious actors to compromise.

Quantum Psychology

Introbooks Team

Who are we? Where we came from? Where are we going? Here are some questions that carry throughout life and are more present from the metanoia (or second half of life) - Greek word that has two roots: meta, which means both "significant change" and "beyond," derived from nous, a word of multiple and complex meanings, including "higher consciousness" - when man begins to wonder about the meaning of life, in search of spirituality. Respond to them has been the great challenge of science, performing research and studies in an attempt to clarify such mysteries. 
What brought this work can not carry the truth claim, but is only an understanding of reality mode. Nothing I can say about the origin or purpose of man since the process still takes place, that is, there is always a "being" (becoming, coming-to-be), a processing that seems to have to do with what Jung called "individuation" - or principle individuation - which is to carry out or consciously realize the full potential of each. What is up with this work is only the communication of compliance.

My Manager Is a Dashboard: AI...

Stephen Patrick Sullivan

A funny, sharp, and slightly unhinged field guide to the agentic workplace. 
AI agents are not just chatbots. The moment you give a model permissions, you give it authority. And once authority shows up, your organization does what it always does. It measures everything that moves, logs every breath, builds dashboards like emotional support animals, and starts managing humans by whatever the dashboard can count. 
Meet Team Space Otter, the builders and shippers. Team Goth Koala, risk and compliance. Trash Panda Prime, ops and incident response. Neon Cactus, product and roadmaps. Glitter Kraken, data and dashboards. Laser Possum, weekend builders and experimenters. They are not real departments. They are archetypes. If you have worked in a company larger than a lemonade stand, you already know them. 
This is the Tuesday version of AI. Not sci fi. Not hype. The part nobody puts on the slide deck. 
Your new coworker is a bot. Your new manager is a dashboard. Good luck.

Hope From the Heart of Horses -...

Kathy Pike, Linda Kohanov

Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. 
 
 
 
Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species. 
 
 
 
Among the moving stories the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference between hope and faith; an abused horse's background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who discovers and reaffirms her self-esteem; and a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears. 
 
 
 
As you see how these people grow deeper into themselves as they learn the horse's way, you, too, will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and everlasting connection and communication between horses and humans.

Moonlit Ripples - Bright Stream...

Greg Cetus

Under the soft glow of moonlight, a lively stream babbles through a tranquil nocturnal landscape, its bright, bubbly ripples creating a soothing and immersive natural soundscape. The gentle flow of water over stones forms a steady, meditative rhythm, perfect for focus, relaxation, or restful sleep. Occasionally, the faint hum of a hummingbird’s wings flits through the air, adding a delicate, almost imperceptible touch of life to the quiet wilderness.
