You know that I recently switched to i3. One of the first thing I wanted to change is the status bar which is not optimal for my usage.
After researches, it looked like that i3blocks it the best alternative. So I contacted the creator (Vivien) and had very good exchanges with him.
I’ve made pull requests and suggestions to integrate missing checks, faster one that I developed and with colorization depending of the contexts.
I recently needed to install an IRC bouncer as I was fed up to launch every say a ssh to connect to an external server, on which I had a tmux running a weechat to get IRC history. 2 problems here:
Sometimes, I forgot to connect on it and missed some messages It was not integrated to Pidgin (what I use for any IM protocol) So I decided to setup a bounce IRC with ZNC!
NAXSI means Nginx Anti Xss & Sql Injection. Technically, it is a third party nginx module, available as a package for many UNIX-like platforms. This module, by default, reads a small subset of simple rules (naxsi_core.rules) containing 99% of known patterns involved in websites vulnerabilities. For example, ‘< ‘, ‘|’ or ‘drop’ are not supposed to be part of a URI.
It’s been a while that I wanted to test NAXSI and it seams working not so bad.
In France, we have the chance to have an ISP/Mobile Telephony provider called Free. They considerably reduced the market price for the Mobile phone communications in 2012. This was very fine for competition and for French people. Now we can have correct prices for Internet and cell phone data. Thanks to Free.
Ceph is quite the same as Free but for storage systems. Since many years, disks array constructors sold us locked solutions with a very high cost of hardware and licenses’ software.
A big and major issue on OpenSSL has been discovered and everybody is talking about it. To get more informations, there’s a website.
How to check the vulnerability, download this file:
chmod 755 ssltest.py Now launch it:
./ssltest.py blog.deimos.fr Connecting... Sending Client Hello... Waiting for Server Hello... ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 66 ... received message: type = 22, ver = 0302, length = 5559 .
Yes once again and for a long time now I think, I moved to i3. It does not make so many thing than Awesome, however working on multiple screen with it, it’s better.
That’s why I wanted to make a new test with it and it’s now adopted. I spent a little bit time on reconfiguring all my needs (workspaces depending my screen configuration, opening app on a defined workspace, keyboard bindings etc…).
And finally MariaDB 10 is out! I’m exited to finish my book about it. Here are the news:
Replication MariaDB 10 sets a new standard in performance. It is many times faster than previous generations of MariaDB and especially legacy database MySQL thanks to new features including parallel replication and a further advanced group commit. Also, the replication slaves are now crash-safe. It’s also now possible to replicate data from multiple master servers giving a complete view of the distributed data across big datasets for real-time analytical purposes via the multi-source replication feature.
