I have IPv6 through my ISP, Comcast. It's completely broken and unusable due to a bug in the router they upgraded me to last year and force me to use because I have a business account. It took me half a day to figure out the cause of t

I remember reading about American Indians killing nursing buffalo calves and cutting open the stomachs to feed the curdled milk to their children as a special treat (almost like ice cream). Surely hunters of mammals throughout the ages were

In this case, that's an appropriate attitude. If your environment is a mess and you add complexity with a CDN, you've got a complicated mess. But a local optimization like this benefits your entire organization and puts off the ne

A nice benefit of using DuckDuckGo is the distinctive way it flags an official site.

Thanks! Any idea what the quoted carriage return does? I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years.

But how do you combine the two on the command line, so less is tailing the file AND highlighting a pattern when launched? I typically read logfiles with less +F, but it would be nice to create an alias for patterns in specific types of logs

I don't think it's permanent, but once you authenticate, any other device that can spoof the MAC address can connect. It might expire a month or so after the last connection.

Who, what, where, & when are mandatory items on a checklist for this type of communication. But if the way you point to them draws attention to your finger and away from the vital information itself, you've failed. That's why

The thing is, none of those headers are even necessary. For example, replace "Beginner Class" with "AIKIDO", remove the "Regular Classes" and "Come Visit" headings, enlarge the text, and you've a

A better test might be: what if this was a street sign? I'd probably have to get out of my car to read the one on the right. If the goal is to convey information quickly and efficiently, I think the left one has the edge.

The important information is larger and more legible in the poster on the left. I can locate the schedule, address, phone number and URL immediately. In the poster on the right, my eye is drawn to the enormous headings, which contain no use

It appears AWS lets you configure this[1]. You may have chosen a policy and never changed it. A note on that page says if you don't choose a policy, you'll always use the latest one. It looks like you can create a custom one, as w

Lynx doesn't support images, CSS or script. It does support cookies and redirects (by default it prompts for both). Basically, it renders the bare HTML of the page you open, without fetching external resources. If you find it behaves d

A typical Mutt configuration relies on the entry for text/html in ~/.mailcap. It's quite common to use lynx for rendering, as in the following: text/html; lynx -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput Since

I believe it's up to the Exchange admin to require a PIN or remote wipe capability, so it will vary from site to site. One workaround is to use IMAP, if available (also up to the admin), but you lose the calendar capability, which is a

Alcohol is a common solvent used to create varnish, so it's not that surprising.

Encryption can be implemented flexibly on systems you control. When it come to encrypting backups, the toughest issue is doing it safely on target systems you don't control (duplicity attacks this problem well). I'd recommend star

I use rdiff-backup as my main backup solution. It's efficient and restoring from the latest backup is reasonably fast and simple. But I've found that the further you go back in time, reconstructing the file from all the deltas tak

"Once we have the SHA1 name of a file we can safely request this file from any server and don’t need to bother with security." I don't understand this statement. Dispensing with encryption makes the request and returned conte

But if you can run this, you can run VirtualBox, which is a much safer alternative (and simpler, if a live ISO meets your needs).

Is someone testing their MarketSpeak Generator? I absolutely hate dealing with vendors who use Salesforce.com. It's a red flag that support might be dismal. The only lesson to be taken from this is that you can build a business around

Even when it was popular, you had to compile qmail from source after applying third-party patches to provide necessary features. For sites that wanted to leverage a distribution's package manager for seamless integration and security u

It sounds more like a side effect than a bug. Both domains have conflicting policies. He wants any Gmail user to be able to impersonate a sender from his domain, but not in a way Gmail supports.

Indeed. Email forwarding has been broken for years. I don't allow it on any MX I run. Even with the best defenses, it's too risky to allow users who are spam magnets to harm your server's reputation.

Just my 2 cents, but I feel strongly that publicly released programs should be named with a minimum of 3 characters, reserving shorter names for user aliases and local commands.

I version control the entire directory (ignoring the known_hosts file) somewhere like ~/config/ssh and symlink it to ~/.ssh. It contains a Makefile with a target that runs this command: ln -s ${PWD} ~/.ssh Just

I like the idea, but you'd be amazed at how many databases only allow 30 character email addresses, or javascript email validators that don't recognize "+" as a legal character.

I love the concept of certificate pinning, but I don't see how it solves the core problem: User: Why should I trust this root CA to secure this domain? Domain Owner: How can I specify which root CA should be trusted to secure this doma

You've undermined both if your proxy is powered by Komodia or another product with similar flaws. What if you've hardened your workstations, but your proxy client supports inferior ciphers? All that work is undone. What if your pr

If the button image is hosted on Facebook's servers (and it commonly is), they have a log of your request for it, including the page it was on (from the "Referer" header). This request is sent when you load the page, without
