  1. Playing Carrier Command with RAT on USS Zumwalt — a Guided Missile Destroyer Running On Linux · · Score: 1

    I just can't wait for it. Sounds really cool. I just hope they don't use D-Link firewalls with backdoors.

  2. Re:And does the client cache this key? on Indian Government To Ban Use of US Email Services For Official Communications · · Score: 1

    That doesn't work, if you have chosen to trust only the original key and it's fingerprint. I've done that with all of my friends, and it works very well. As well it prevents man in the middle attacks, and totally blocks any also CA abuse attempts. Don't to trust CAs, trust only predefined fingerprints.

  3. Re:Windows has been "over" for me for years on ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over" · · Score: 1

    I had been using Unix early 90s. Then I used Windows and played with different Linux distros. When Windows Vista came out, I decide I don't want to use Windows anymore and started using Ubuntu, which was delightul compared to late 90s X desktops. Since 2006 I've been very happy (X)Ubuntu 64 bit user. I also hosted a few web sites using Java, Tomcat, MySQL and Windows, all my friends were like, Windows wtf...

  4. Use unknown protocols on Iran Blocks 'Illegal' VPNs, Google, and Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Or you'll simply create protocol, which is not known by deep packet inspection. Of course blocking this would require blocking all unknown protocols, which is naturally one option. http://www.sami-lehtinen.net/blog/simple-protocol-obfuscator-protoobfs-concept

  5. Hello world fail? on The Geek Art Movement · · Score: 1

    I'm quite sure there are plenty of other fails in that image, but I just opened and it hit me straight away. REM Balh blah @echo off @echo Hello world! Why? There is @echo off, if next echo line is prefixed with @sign? Also that REM will be printed out if it isn't prefixed with @or is not after the echo off line. So much fail. Can anyone spot other massive fails from it?

  6. Re:Hashes list link on LinkedIn Password Hashes Leaked Online · · Score: 1

    Same here, confirmed: Checked my current and old passwords (for 2 last years), no match. My password is also 16+ chars with plenty of special and skandinavian characters.

  7. Adrive free 50 gigs on Google Drive Launching Next Week With 5GB Free Space · · Score: 1

    Adrive.com has offer 50 gigs for years. Therefore 5 gigs for free is not enough, unless some other features are exceptionally good.

  8. Same situation in Finland on Apple May Need To Rethink 4G Claims (and Pay Refunds) In More Countries · · Score: 2

    In Finland they have same problem. They're adverising 4G features, even if those aren't supported in Finnish frequencies. Finnish operators are also advertising DC-HSPA as 4G even if it isn't. As far as I know only LTE Advanced would be real 4G. This is just like LED-televisions. Well, why they still got that LCD element there? It shouldn't be needed at all when you got real LED-tv.

  9. Re:25,000 is laughably low on Go Daddy Loses Over 21,000 Domains In One Day · · Score: 1

    Well, each domain is one less to go. I did my part, have you done yours?

  12. Website is always bad on Anonymous Creates Its Own Social Network · · Score: 1

    It's much better to use proper Social Networking App, like RetroShare. It gives all you need, and even more. It's option that really gives you privacy.

  13. Yahoo - 500 free disposable addresses on 7 Days In Email Hell · · Score: 1

    Also Yahoo provides free disposable addresses. You can have 500 free active addresses and then just delete some old ones if you need new ones. Those also clearly identify the service those are linked to. So it's easy to know when something leaks. I got really worried when I started to get spam to email address that I had only given to one bank. It makes you think, about customer information security. Yahoo disposable addresses

  14. XMPP / Jingle / SRTP on Microsoft May Add Eavesdropping To Skype · · Score: 1

    I have been looking for XMPP alternatives for Skype for a good while. Jingle using SRTP does look good. http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#srtp

  15. High server loads = huge lag after outage on Usenet With a 30 Year Lag · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what we get, when services are tried to be run too efficiently. Like utilizing nearly 100% of resources provided by server. If server is down for just a while, it'll take ages to catch up. At least three news servers which I were using had all normal load over 90%. Which meant that if server went down for a day, it took easily one to two weeks to catch up!

  16. Use thermal energy for something useful, Helsinki on Facebook May Make Tiny Town a Data Center Mecca · · Score: 2

    That's what is done in Helsinki. Actually data processing can be very economical and green. If the waste heat generated from process will be used for something useful.
    As it's being done here: http://www.greendiary.com/entry/helsinki-data-centre-installed-in-cathedral-bomb-shelter-to-heat-500-homes/
    It's just logical to use waste heat from any other sources (like industry processes) is being re-used in similar way.

  17. DSL G.Bond ADSL2+ 48/6 and happy with it on Netflix Isn't Swamping the Internet · · Score: 2

    I'm happy with my G.Bond ADSL2+ connection which gives me full 48/6 Mbps pretty cheaply. With cable there are always problems with upstream performance and latency. Using DSL I get steady 10 ms round-trip latency (DSLAM).

  18. DSL not boardband? on Netflix Isn't Swamping the Internet · · Score: 0

    DSL isn't broadband? Then I assume that in US broadband is at least 100Mbit/s full duplex connection, right? Preferably using FTTH.

  19. Net in Net: Freenet, I2P, Tor, GNUnet on The Great Firewall of Europe · · Score: 1

    Everybody knew this was coming. So that's why projects like Freenet, I2P, Tor and GNUnet has been developed and running for long time. It's bit harder to take those under control. Those seem to be working pretty well. I have personally tried all and using some currently.

  20. Opt for Vimeo? on Google Will Save Videos After All · · Score: 1

    I have lately opted for Vimeo. Google HD videos are sometimes really slow to load. I don't know why. Everything seems to be ok, but video just isn't loading as expected. With Vimeo I haven't had that problem ever. Vimeo image quality is also clearly superb. Content quality is also clearly better.

  21. Placing near window nope - Passive Repeateter on New Houses Killing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    So? What's new? Our building got renewed about 6 years ago. At that point we found out exactly what they say. Cellphone signal was gone for two of the three operator available here. Reception was weak for the only available operator. Out at yard all operators gave full reception!

    Reason? Thermal radiation insulation using very thin aluminium foil. It's not only in walls also windows are protected. Open window and placing phone just about 5 cm outside, full reception. Close window and place phone 5 cm inside, no reception at all. It's pretty clear situation.

    Solution: Buying two mobile antennas and and about 20 cm of cable. Drill hole through the wall, Place another antenna outside, insert cable, place another antenna inside. That's it. Now you have passive pass through for the signal.

    P.S. This solution works very well for cellars and basements too, if you want to have signal where it isn't normally available.

  22. IO issues on Linux 2.6.37 Released · · Score: 1

    Fuse-NTFS-3G makes my system really crawl when there is USB-disk IO. UI and everything else is totally stalled for long periods. I'm not Linux guru, but I just confirm that I'm also expering IO issues even when system load should be pretty low. "Linux Bender 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 00:51:09 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux". I guess some tweaking might be required to fix this issue.

  23. Highly I/O latency dependant application on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Just to mention a very bad app, I'll say Evolution. If there is any heavy disk I/O it becomes ultra sluggish. And you're asking for coffee break especially when you're changing from mail folder to another or deleting messages. I was practically forced to use ionice with any disk to maintain acceptable performance with Evolution. (2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux / GNOME evolution 2.28.3)

  24. Re:SQLite database vacuum on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 5, Informative

    There are a few alternatives to yet another plugin:
    1) You can use standalone SQLite3 installation to open bases and vacuum those.
    2) Use Python script for vacuuming.
    3) You can use Error Console with following string to vacuum bases:
    Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/nav-history-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsPIPlacesDatabase).DBConnection.executeSimpleSQL("VACUUM");
    I personally prefer last option, beacuse no additional software is required.

  25. SQLite database vacuum on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 1

    It would be really nice if Firefox would learn to vacuum SQLite3 bases at times. I had huge databases full off junk. After manually vacuuming db size dropped over 90%. So there are many issues to fix.
