I had a CEH but let it expire, like you. I’ve taken & passed a handful of certifications over several years. (Haven’t failed one yet.) More value and higher quality content, both academic and practical, can be found in other certification programs. CompTIA Security+ would be a prime example. It’s roughly “entry level” much like CEH.

Cool!

Although it’s not quite a sacrament, at least there are several Christian denominations that have official policies in support of medical cannabis.

To answer your question, yes, you’re being paranoid and irrational.

That CVE is in the Linux kernel, which CalyxOS should be handling for you, via their security updates.

I think you’ll be fine as long as CalyxOS is supplying your device with Android security updates. As an average user, with no reason to be the subject of targeted attacks, firmware vulnerabilities are not a huge concern (assuming your OS and other software are up to date with security patches).

Of course, if someone hostile gets physical access to your device, firmware becomes more important. Remote exploitation of a firmware vulnerability typically requires first exploiting a software vulnerability (and CalyxOS is updating your OS software). With physical access, one might skip that step by connecting a cable to your phone and interacting with it directly.

Yes, SELinux is enabled (in “enforcing” mode) by default in Fedora. In my experience, it doesn’t hamper usability.

I remember seeing old advice from blogs and listicles about turning it off, on the theory that it might get in the way. But it’s better to leave it on if you care about security – especially if you want to learn.

When SELinux blocks a piece of software from doing something sketchy, an alert is generated to explain what happened and why. That’s rare but it’s a learning opportunity for you, not to mention preventing a potential security threat.

Tildes fits that description. The posts are text-only or links to websites. No memes.

I use that site in addition to Lemmy, not as a replacement but a supplement. It’s just a different flavor of discussion.

It’s invite-only but I can give you an invitation code if you’re interested. Take a look, see if you like it, and send me a private message if you want an invitation.

Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.2 blocks known malware domains, so that’s better than 1.1.1.1 unless you want nothing blocked.

If you want to block ads and trackers in addition to malware, try ControlD’s 76.76.2.2 .

Better still is to use encrypted DNS if your device supports it. I like NextDNS or ControlD for that, as DNS-Over-TLS or -HTTPS.

What’s a 20:80 rule in this context?

As an American myself, I encourage you to keep your natural accent. We’re a nation of immigrants built from people who originated all over the world. So there’s not just one recognizable accent here. Nobody’s accent is superior to others. I’ve known people from other countries who are self conscious about their accents. In response, I tell them honestly that I appreciate the way they sound. Variety is the spice of life, as the saying goes.

I have no use for those threads. Thanks for asking, and for moderating.

Same in Jerboa for Android.

Yes, I’m aware this may differ depending on your specific brand of Android phone. 🤷

Rolling as in ROFL?

Thank you. I’ve been missing an IndyCar community. I joined.
