My final Uni project will be based on a SSH Honeypot, and being the geek I am, I think this screengrab from The Matrix where Trinity uses nmap and then SSH, makes a lovely background for the title page.
Maybe not for the final submission, but I like this and the monospaced title, looks cool IMHO!

CentOS 7 certainly did a decent stint! Got to do a lot more frequent OS upgrades now!

"Rubber Ducking" may help fix a problem. But a duck is no use if you keep putting it off. I have upped the ante: This duck has a label to remind you that you need to address the probem!

Here, it's a Nagios task for a thing called "p4lm" but can be anything.

I give Rubber Duck Nagging to the world!

Yes, under the last UK Government poor children were going without lunch.
But a least it was easier for multi-millionaires to pass their wealth on to their children without paying a penny in tax.

Hi I'm a *nix / DevOps geek in the UK (see bio). Want UK to rejoin the EU if/when practical. 20+ years' in Unix / Linux / DevOps space, now doing a CompSci MSc "for fun*" in my spare time.
