I didn’t think I’d ever get to the point of asking for this product specifically, but are there any recommendations for 3.5mm TRS male to male cables, suitable for headphones, available for purchase from mainland US, and preferably 10ft?
In the past year, the original cable that came with my SHP9500’s started to exhibit problems, and had to be replaced after ~5 years of regular use. This past year, I had replaced it with a cable from KabelDirekt, which failed in about 7 months. KabelDirekt’s warranty handling simply refunded my purchase rather replace the broken cable, so I took it as a sign that they weren’t confident in their products and to try a different company. I then went with a Monoprice cable, which I have gone through three of. None of the three so far have lasted more than 3 weeks, and Monoprice is asking to have the existing faulty cables returned via a rather inconvenient shipping provider before sending another.
Right now, I have stolen my record player’s RCA to 3.5mm cable and an RCA-3.5mm adapter, which is working for the time being. Unfortunately, it does seem that the manufacturer (Ugreen) has stopped selling audio cables however, nor do I really want to be stuck with an adapter chain off of my audio interface.
Generally, your auth provider (assuming setup correctly) should be one of the most secure components of your internet-exposed setup. That being said, vulnerabilities can and do occur. Adding a combination of Crowdsec, OWASP CRS, other ModSecurity rulesets, and/or fail2ban will add a degree of migitation of potential exploits by blacklisting known bad actors/active bad behavior.
Above all, you should have a plan to keep aware of updates to your publicly-exposed software and be able to deploy those updates in a timely fashion.
