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!
I wanted to upgrade my Android version from Cyanogen 10 to 11M5 on my old Samsung Galaxy S2. I though it would be an easy task, but not at all.
First of all, I had to be in recovery mod (bottom button + vol up + power). Then I wanted to create a /sdcard but it didn’t want to mount and I didn’t want to format my sdcard. So I mounted a tmpfs onto it:
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.
As you may read, I recently decided to drop Cyanogen :-(. Google Now interface is fine, but not enough user oriented for now days in my opinion. A few months ago, a friend (@sebastien_han) show me Aviate and switched to it. This is an interface that helps you day to day to show you informations and apps you need depending on your localization. I really love it!
Last week I discovered Cover which is a solution for the lockscreen.
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 .
