  • Okay but I already said he could have done more with my very first comment, we’re not here to talk about the things he didn’t do. He at least offered the fewest Offshore Leases of any recent administration and instead the administration invested about 70 Million USD into offshore wind projects, four such commercial projects should be operational sometime next year.

    While automakers made a fool of his administrations fuel economy standards by simply making larger vehicles that don’t fall under the regulations, his administration did clearly make an attempt to increase fuel economy of gas vehicles. He also provided new tax credits for purchased EVs and made efforts to replace all federal vehicles with electric.

    Again, he could have done more. I think a lot of his plans fell short or outright failed. But he was a good president.







  • Biden shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline, funded countless green power expansions.

    Biden protected forests made vulnerable by the previous Trump admin, protected streams again, and got the EPA back in shape after the previous admin had a Coal Lobbyist running it.

    Biden rescheduled Marijuana, pardoned hundreds of nonviolent marijuana convictions.

    Biden attempted three different times to cancel all student debts but in the end only managed to get the SAVE plans enacted.

    Biden increased access to healthcare.

    Biden signed into law a Same Sex marriage bill.

    Biden’s “inaction” on abortion is actually nothing to do with Biden but the fault of a stacked SCOTUS and deadlocked congress.

    Biden did happily endorse a border security bill, but the Biden admin also condemned Texas barbwire fences along the river and instead wants to process immigrants and only persecute criminal immigrants. The previous Trump admin went after everyone, ironically letting the actual criminals run free as resources were wasted elsewhere.

    Netanyahu came to Washington DC to beg for more aid because it was drying up. Despite decades of support from Biden, he was very restrained with how much he offered Israel and instead sent Naval vessels to provide aid to Palestinians. He has repeatedly told Netanyahu in public and in private, according to leaks, to end this war.

    Under Biden the FTC has given out record breaking fines and prevented massive mergers.

    Biden was not a great president but he was a good fucking president.






  • If you don’t use Microsoft Azure cloud services then it shouldn’t matter, for now. Might want to just avoid running those for a little while.

    The article also says:

    It’s unclear precisely how the compromised botnet devices are being initially infected. Whatever the cause, once devices are exploited, the threat actors often take the following actions:

    • Download Telnet binary from a remote File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server
    • Download xlogin backdoor binary from a remote FTP server
    • Utilize the downloaded Telnet and xlogin binaries to start an access-controlled command shell on TCP port 7777
    • Connect and authenticate to the xlogin backdoor listening on TCP port 7777
    • Download a SOCKS5 server binary to router
    • Start SOCKS5 server on TCP port 11288.

    So maybe setting up some firewall rules could also help prevent further problems.
