How to Hide Apache’s Version Number and Operating System Information
Apache is one of the most popular web servers but its default configuration contains questionable choices on many Linux distributions. Apache tends to advertise its specific version and the platform it’s running on, information that could be valuable to attackers.

Twitter Launches ‘Twitter Circle’ for Sharing Tweets With a Smaller Number of People
The feature had been in testing since May and allows users to create a custom group with up to 150 accounts and share tweets with only those users rather than publicly.
With Twitter Circle, people now have the flexibility to choose who can see and engage with their content on a Tweet-by-Tweet basis. This makes it easier to have more intimate conversations and build closer connections with select followers.
Twitter Circle is rolling out today for users on iOS, Android, and the web.

Number of homes being insulated to reduce heat loss has more than halved this year despite energy bills soaring
SQUEEZED families will have to spend more keeping warm this winter after far fewer homes were insulated.
Alarming stats show the number of houses being fitted with padding that traps heat has more than halved this year.
Just 126,131 installations happened in the first six months of the year compared to 261,315 in 2021.
It means more than 135,000 families have missed out on cheaper bills as they are forced to turn up the radiators to make up for escaping heat.
Leaky homes can whack an extra £1,000 on a household’s energy bills, shock independent analysis shows.
Labour has pledged £60billion to improve every poorly-insulated home under its plans for government.

Shadow Minister Kerry McCarthy said: “The Government should have been working round the clock to insulate homes and ensure as many households as possible benefit from lower bills. Its failure to do so despite repeated warnings risks leaving millions out in the cold.
The Business Department blamed the steep drop on the pandemic and a transition from one government efficiency scheme to another.
A spokesperson said: “We are investing £6.6billion in total this parliament to improve energy efficiency across the country, with the majority of our support targeting those on low income and vulnerable households.
“This is benefiting tens of thousands of homes and delivering average savings of £300 a year on energy bills.”

Brits flood the internet with videos of abnormally big spiders, as number of eight-legged insects set to boom
BRITS are flooding social media with videos of abnormally big spiders with the number of eight legged insects set to boom in the coming weeks.
Arachnids take shelter in our homes as the weather begins to cool so they can mate.
Arachnophobes were less than pleased by the sight of huge critters across social media[/caption]
It begins in the first or second week of September and ends by the first week of October.
Usually, a barrage of male critters come inside to hunt for the females that “stay put” indoors and can be found lurking around in places we rather they wouldn’t be.
And although spider season isn’t very long – which is good news for those who suffer from arachnophobia – many Brits are still fearing the worst.
This week on TikTok, one user was filmed screaming after spotting a spider in the bath.

“Oh my God, what am I supposed to do,” she can be heard saying as the critter scuttles across the tub.
“Do I flush it our,” she asks before spilling water onto the spider.
Her predicament was the same as many others as users online shared their own early spider season torment.
In one clip, a London resident filmed a giant spider as it crawled down her bedroom wall.

“That is massive, oh no” she squealed.
While, another enthusiast even took it upon himself to pry a huge spider out from a small gap under his shower.
“Wow, look how big that f****r is,” he says, as the huge beady eyed insect emerged from the floorboards.
Naturally, users in the comments were less than pleased at the sight.
“The fact that you see it’s eyes reflecting,” one said.
“I’d give him my house keys and move out,” added another.
While a third panicked: “Where are all these giant spiders coming from.”
According to self-proclaimed ‘bugman’ Richard Jones, many spiders may have already been living in your home, but their presence is more noticeable at this time of year as they begin to wander around.
“The ones we see scuttling around in the house – they’re usually the male house spiders,” the author and self-proclaimed “bugman” previously told BBC Newsbeat last year.
“The ones you see running across the carpet in front of you freaking you out, most often it’ll be a male out on some sort of amorous pursuit.”
House spiders are descendants of African and Mediterranean arachnids, and so are built for warmer climates.
As a result, they prefer hiding in cosy homes over building webs in the garden.
The eight-legged creatures are usually born indoors where they lurk for most of the year, fattening up on bugs before breaking cover during mating season.
Richard said most UK spiders are nothing to worry about, as they can’t bite humans.

He said a spider’s jaws are so small that nipping a human would be like trying to take a bite out of a basketball.
But if you’re still concerned, we have compiled a list of several natural deterrents that can help banish the bugs.
There’s a wonky number at the core of Elon Musk’s case against Twitter
Listening to the lawyers representing Elon Musk and Twitter argue over which documents need to be provided as part of legal discovery today, I began to wonder if it is possible to measure anything at all.
The arguments centered on a wonky count of user numbers: mDAUs, or “monetizable daily active users.” It’s a nonstandard measure — most social media companies use daily or monthly active users — that focuses on which users can see ads. But Twitter is a nonstandard social media company!
Twitter is suing Musk for abandoning a deal to buy the company for $44 billion. Part of Musk’s argument is that he was misled about the amount of spam and bots on the platform and that, therefore, the deal can’t…
