How To Not Be A Dickhead Parent
I have been thinking about parenting. My children are now adults.
Well, as close to as possible, with the youngest only 6 months away
from being 18. They're both exceptional. Funny, smart, they work
hard, they're kind, they are strong and they have a strong sense of
social justice. I am proud of my part in their upbringing and prouder of
them managing to get over the shittiest parts of my parenting. As
I get older, I see what made a difference and what didn't, where I
wasted energy and where I was right to remind them to push a little
harder in their own life. This is also based on watching other kids and
their families and the ones who have taken refuge in our house away from
their dickhead parents. I have had several children here, so I get it. I've
had to try and reason with mothers who don't understand why their child
is suicidal because of their appalling parenting. I've had to go to
court for another as their advocate. I've fostered one because the
parent refused to stop drinking and kick the abusive boyfriend out. I've
had 2am calls from a desperate kids who have made bad choices and need
an adult to help. I have done pickups from parks at 4am for drunk
teenage girls, I've pulled kids from fights. Told parents off for
pushing so hard their kid was on the edge, ready to jump. I've sat with a
kid and told him it wasn't his fault his mum killed herself after he
found her body. I have taught kids how to set boundaries with their
fuck-wit parents. I have listened when my own kids tell me how I can do
better.
So, here is my list for do's and don't in raising kids.
Firewalls are becoming increasingly important in today’s world. Hackers and automated scripts are constantly trying to invade your system and use it for Bitcoin mining, botnets or other things. To prevent these attacks, you can use a firewall on your system. IPTables is the strongest firewall in Linux because it can filter packets in the kernel before they reach the application. Using IPTables is not very easy for Linux beginners. We have created easywall - the simple IPTables web interface . The focus of the software is on easy installation and use.

When building a DDoS mitigation service it’s incredibly tempting to think that the solution is scrubbing centers or scrubbing servers. I, too, thought that was a good idea in the beginning, but experience has shown that there are serious pitfalls to this approach.
