    Just had a "Windoze" type update cycle in Fedora.
    System updates, reboot, reboot, another update, reboot, reboot.

    I'm done with Fedora/CentOS/RHEL.

    Not sure where I will land as I am not a real fan of Ubuntu/Canonical and Debian is way to slow with updates and behind current versions (but I do really like Debian for servers!), even Linux Mint seems to be lacking KDE desktops, not sure for how long but the oldest listed version on the site has no KDE.

    Time to start researching...

    One other thing that is really starting to annoy me with Fedora34/CentOS Stream 8 is post update install, "Restart is required" everytime and it takes two reboots to update, the first does the update and the second lets you back in.

    Even Windoze usually handles it in one reboot.

    Synaptic would only work for me if I go back to a Debian based system. Also, CentOS is going away, PITA to install KDE and still not working correctly. Maybe I will try Kubuntu before I go further.

    Welp... #Devuan is on and going off to try CentOS Stream. While I did all the reading ahead and it found the prop WiFi drivers and connected it decided to leave the CD/DVD repo in place so I got errors when looking for updates, manually rem'd out the repo but it still didn't finish looking for updates until I closed Discover. Also couldn't add my user to sudo (even though user is admin) and had other permissions related issues and quite a few "file/command not found" while trying to fix.

    If I really wanted all these headaches I would install Arch.

      Every business that handles the financial data of their customers is looking for ways to limit their PCI scope. Have you considered tokenization?

    Going to try #Devuan tomorrow, the upgrade to #Fedora 34 has caused many minor issues, not really surprising as it has been upgraded many times since 28 I think. If all else fails it will be a clean Fedora 34 install.

    DigitalOcean says customer billing data accessed in data breach TechCrunch
    https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/28/digitalocean-customer-billing-data-breach/

    >DigitalOcean has emailed customers warning of a data breach involving customers’ billing data, TechCrunch has learned.
    >
    >The cloud infrastructure giant told customers in an email on Wednesday, obtained by TechCrunch, that it has “confirmed an unauthorized exposure of details associated with the billing profile on your DigitalOcean account.” The company said the person “gained access to some of your billing account details through a flaw that has been fixed” over a two-week window between April 9 and April 22.
    >
    >The email said customer billing names and addresses were accessed, as well as the last four digits of the payment card, its expiry date and the name of the card-issuing bank. The company said that customers’ DigitalOcean accounts were “not accessed,” and passwords and account tokens were “not involved” in this breach.
    >
    >“To be extra careful, we have implemented additional security monitoring on your account. We are expanding our security measures to reduce the likelihood of this kind of flaw occuring [sic] in the future,” the email said.
    >
    >DigitalOcean said it fixed the flaw and notified data protection authorities, but it’s not clear what the apparent flaw was that put customer billing information at risk.
    >
    >In a statement, DigitalOcean’s security chief Tyler Healy said 1% of billing profiles were affected by the breach, but declined to address our specific questions, including how the vulnerability was discovered and which authorities have been informed.

    This reminds me of the time $FORMER_EMPLOYERs IT service sent out phishing emails as a test and even though some of us did the "Correct" thing, report the email to them, we all had to go to class to learn about phishing. This was due to the fact that a lot of the people failed because there was no training prior to the test. It also caused a huge PITA for HR as they had no clue that the emails sent were using a "HR" email address that didn't exist and led a lot of people to call with questions.

    Still waiting for the next batch of phishing emails to go around.

    Maybe it is a mid-west thing (also might be related to mob knowledge of the mid-west) but almost everyone I knew also knew this.
