[Cialug] Pi processes

Nothing looks odd to me either, but I feel his approach to security hygiene
could use some 101 level questions instead of just giving an 'all clear' to
a proc list.


   - Did he fresh install the OS on the pi after it entered his
   possession?  If no, go and do so.
   - Did he verify checksums of his downloaded Raspbian/OS image of
   choice?  If yes, good.  He can always go back and check the image if he
   kept the download.
   - Is there a certain application he thinks may have tainted his pi?  If
   yes, LMGTFY to see if it is secure/audited or go back to a fresh image and
   don't reinstall it.


Piggybacking even more on the pi discussion, pi-hole <https://pi-hole.net/>
(DNSMasq based advertisement black-hole) is a great recommendation for
people looking for a project to use their idle pis for. it can be a little
too aggressive at times and breaks some sites for me, they're always
working on tweaking/perfecting the blacklists/whitelists they use though.
You just might want to trail it on limited devices before applying it to
your entire network.
