Gnome3 Customise Shell Theme

I recently re-installed Ubuntu 1804 on my laptop and I though I would give the PopOS desktop theme from system76 a try. The verdict? It's very very nice. Next time I do a re-install or get a new laptop I think I will use PopOS which is based in Ubuntu anyway. Side note: If a System76...

IDG Contributor Network: Can TLS 1.3 and DNSSEC make your network blind?

Domain name system (DNS) over transport layer security (TLS) adds an extra layer of encryption, but in what way does it impact your IP network traffic? The additional layer of encryption indicates controlling what’s happening over the network is likely to become challenging.Most noticeably it will prevent ISPs and enterprises from monitoring the user’s site activity and will also have negative implications for both; the wide area network (WAN) optimization and SD-WAN vendors.During a recent call with Sorell Slaymaker, we rolled back in time and discussed how we got here, to a world that will soon be fully encrypted. We started with SSL1.0, which was the original version of HTTPS as opposed to the non-secure HTTP. As an aftermath of evolution, it had many security vulnerabilities. Consequently, we then evolved from SSL 1.1 to TLS 1.2. To read this article in full, please click here
