Comment Post #292706 If you could be more specific than "Have fail2ban look at your log," I think that would be helpful. If it takes a custom script, I don't think you need to write the script, but showing how fail2ban can use an arbitrary script is better than what you have now.

Comment Post #292100 When you figure it out, maybe post a self-answered question. I haven't gotten my fresh Debian install to successfully recover from hibernate or sleep a single time.

Answer A: Forbid concurrent runs of a process
Make a lock file or env variable and alias the CLI command to test for the lock before it starts the real command.

Comment Post #291818 This is super-unlikely to be what you're looking for, but it may help you in the future: PDFs have a mechanism to stamp in form field data from XML. IIRC, you create the data file separately with a reference to the PDF form it loads into. This is useful if you have some process to generate partial...

Answer A: Confused about what "Linux" means
Richard Stallman wants you to use GNU/Linux to refer to the combination of OS and kernel that people typically call Linux. I am not a Stallman partisan one way or the other, but I think noting his complaint is informative in this context. I have emphasized the sentence of the excerpt below where he d...

Comment Post #291379 One of the sources from the Wikipedia footnotes [says that](https://www.ncftp.com/ncftpd/doc/misc/ephemeral_ports.html#Linux) it _had been_ 1024 through 4999 in kernel 2.2 and changed in kernel 2.4 to "32768 through 61000 if adequate kernel memory is available." I don't know if this suggests a tec...

Answer A: Nerf an SSH login outside expected IP range
authorizedkeys You can make restrictions, but it's clunky and not well-standardized. A `command` stanza on an authorized key works like the `ForceCommand` on SSHD Config. It runs the one specified command instead of your requested command or interactive session and then closes the connection. Obvi...

Question Nerf an SSH login outside expected IP range
Can I restrict myself from certain actions when I SSH in from outside a certain IP range? For instance no `sudo`? Maybe with /.ssh/authorizedkeys having a `from="!1.2.3.4/26"` option with some kind of `command="???"`?
