  1. Accept all cookies instead on 'Do Not Track,' the Privacy Tool Used By Millions of People, Doesn't Do Anything (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    I often use an incognito window or a privacy browser (like firefox focus), which gives me a cookie wall everytime I visit a website. I wish it would be possible to tell their cookies aren't saved any longer than needed and I can't be tracked that way (and they don't have to show me their cookie wall).

  2. Missing functionality on Fedora 25 To Run Wayland By Default Instead Of X.Org Server (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Hmm I'm using Fedora on my server/home theater PC and work/home notebook and I've tried Wayland but it had some limitations. When the mouse pointer changes from arrow to a caret (for example) the mouse motion seems to slow down. Recently I've discoved xdotool and obviously it doesn't work with Wayland. Let's hope X11 will be supported for awhile until this things are fixed.

  3. Re:One handed mirror keyboard on Ask Slashdot: Single-Handed Keyboard Options For Coding? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I would recommend this, it's also called half qwerty. There are also special prepared keyboard for this: http://half-qwerty.com/

  4. Re:How's that again? on Getting the Most Out of SSH · · Score: 1

    I once enabled strict hostkey checking and created a global known hosts file, because all users had a (different, out dated) ~/.ssh/known_hosts. We had about 500 different SSH servers. I tried to explain why it is important not to send your credentials without checking the hostkey but no one understood it. Some (managers) even requested me to disable the host key checking altogether or let anyone update the known hosts automatically.

  5. Andre Kuipers blog article about this event on Space Junk Forced Astronauts Into ISS Escape Capsules · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Why? Lightweight? on Eclipse Launches New Programming Language · · Score: 2

    To have the .NET framework backwards compatible (like Java) you'll need to have all .NET frameworks installed which requires 4 GB. In what universe is that lightweight?

  7. Re:Offline GPS? on Nokia To Make GPS Navigation Free On Smartphones · · Score: 2, Informative
  8. Re:Then what is it for? on When Not to Use chroot · · Score: 2

    Exactly, we are using chroot for our testing environment, it is much faster than virtual machines. The only two downsides are the shared resources (listening TCP ports, shared memory, shared kernel) and the bad security. The conflicting TCP ports can be resolved by NAT (iptables), the shared memory can be increased and the shared kernel version didn't cause any trouble (yet). Bad security isn't a real problem in a trusted environment.

  9. Re:DS on How Skype Punches Holes in Firewalls · · Score: 1

    Probably, they might be using a transparent proxy or require you to use the proxy for port 80.

    You could try to connect to the following host: http://conntest.nintendowifi.net/ to see if they specifically blocked nintendowifi ;-)

  10. Re:DS on How Skype Punches Holes in Firewalls · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Nintendo DS *does* this trick! As far as I sniffed Tetris DS and Mario Kart DS the connections are punched through the firewall. I've tried to firewall my wireless network so any DS could connect and play at nintendowifi but the connections are made peer-to-peer at random source and destination ports. I've started to work on a netfilter queue to do some smart firewalling (to allow holepunching through nintendowifi) but I haven't finished this yet :-(.

  11. syslinux on USB Drives — Recovery? · · Score: 1

    My USB drive is filled with bootable images for syslinux, you can load kernels and boot floppy / harddisk images using memdisk. I partitioned my USB drive as a ZIP drive for improved BIOS booting. I currently have different Fedora kickstart options, a Fedora Rescue, Gentoo LiveUSB, memdisk86, Seagate Discwizard and Dell Diagnostics.

  12. Re:LISP of the Backslash on 'Mr. Samba' Talks About Samba's Future · · Score: 1

    This problem is shell related, not Samba related ;-)

    Try smbclient '\\I\hate\backslashes'

  13. Digital key signing? on Mazda Switches To USB Keys · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be great to implement enhanced key verification? Sign the key of your co-worker so he can borrow your car for a fixed period? If you lose your key just change the public key stored in your car!

  14. grub-2 all the way on The Boot Loader Showdown · · Score: 2, Informative

    Grub *seems* to be undeveloped but some brave guys are developing grub-2, which looks much nicer...
