In a desperate act of self-humiliation, people behind Java.net upgraded their Drupal-based website and left the default Drupal favicon on their site, as a sign of a total professional failure.
P.S. Looks like they had a MovableType before Drupal. Dries blogged about it half a year ago.
В перерывах между работой и хобби, приделал колонки под крышку самодельного стола из цельной доски. Качество звука, как и ожидалось, пропорционально площади резонатора. Низкие передаются прямо в грудную клетку через лежащие на столе локти.
A bad sysadmin changes the default SSH port.
A good sysadmin throttles the brute-force attackers by allowing one new connection in 20 seconds.
# requires xt_TARPIT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW \ --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 20 -j TARPIT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW \ --dport 22 -m recent --set -j ACCEPT
A brilliant sysadmin blocks intruders indefinitely
# requires hashlimit iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state \ --state NEW -m hashlimit --hashlimit 1/hour \ --hashlimit-burst 2 --hashlimit-mode srcip \ --hashlimit-name SSH --hashlimit-htable-expire 60000 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 \ --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state \ --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
In the last example, the 1st rule allows up to two connections per hour. After the limit of two connections per hour is reached, the second rule becomes active and the hashlimit module starts to countdown from 1 minute (60 000 milliseconds). If you connect within 1 minute, the hashlimit counter is reset to 60 000. If you connect after 1 minute, you drop to the 3rd rule and are allowed access.

Пришла ко мне сегодня афишка от Kaaitheater. В ней — анонс театрального перформанса девки из Кении. В краткой аннотации говорится, что в Кении популярны «живые» переводы фильмов, совсем как у Гоблина. Ничто не ново под луной.
mknod backpipe p mknod log p while :; do cat backpipe |nc -l -p 3001 |tee log| nc localhost 3000 |tee log >backpipe; doneЗависимости: (ba,k)sh, netcat, mknod, tee. Работает следующим образом. Скажем, нам нужно просмотреть трафик на порту 3000. Устанавливаем netcat сервер на 3001 порту, форвардим соединение в оба конца на порт 3000. Копию всего, что передаётся в обоих направлениях, пишем в файл log. Если вдруг соединение закрывается, запускаем всё заново.
Add the new mime type to the respective rails initializer
echo "Mime::Type.register \"application/xhtml+xml\", :xhtml" \ > config/initializers/mime_types.rb
Use the name of this mime type in the config/routes.rb
map.root :controller => "test", :action => 'view', :format => 'xhtml'
Just spotted this nice little euphemism slipping into the corporate newspeak. Is it because the old-fashioned nature of the word gives more weight to PowerPoint slides? Or it is because saying aloud "PowerPoint" has become suddenly reprehensible?
The official OMG SysML website is edited entirely in Microsoft Frontpage 6.0. Its first page contains 124 links, 18 links among them are broken. Being backed by the biggest and richest corporations like Lockheed-Martin, Airbus, EADS, etc, it also displays a Google Ads block which shall bring in at most 5 USD per month, judging by the traffic it generates.
A composite requirement may state that the system shall do A and B and C, which can be decomposed into the child requirements that the system shall do A, the system shall do B, and the system shall do C.
I just received offline spam from Fedict in the form of a letter without any postage marks and with the text on the envelope stating:
"An important message from the government".
The letter contained an invitation to buy a bundle of a PC with 12 months of free internet access for 422 EUR.
Update: Apparently, the same letter was distributed (not sent by post, but carried to the postbox by a spam delivery company) to a big share if not all belgian residents.
