How to expand the EBS boot volume of a Linux-based EC2 instance

This is easier than you probably think: AWS will expand the EBS boot volume of an EC2 instance running Linux automatically when you launch a new instance off of it with the desired capacity.

Here is how it works in more detail.

TLS tune-up: how to restrict Firefox to TLS v1.3 and v1.2 to protect from phishing attacks

Only two versions of the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol can be considered safe under certain circumstances: TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2. Trying to get your bank alongside everyone else to fix their websites and web applications is a Herculean task; good luck trying. Even so, you can protect TLS connections by modifying the browser configuration.

It is good to know that there is something you can do to protect at least yourself and the other end users on the networks that you oversee from nasty attacks against their TLS connections. In Firefox, you can restrict the browser to “speak” only TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 to limit the attack surface and restrict phishing. Here is how to do it.
