The problem is that the UX on the browsers for using client certificates is horrible.

Check_mk is not a nagios/icinga fork, it's an addon that works with them. It's a host agent (like NRPE) that bundles all the local checks in a single run and submits them on Nagios as a passive check.

I believe you can count yourself among them :)

You can't use beta software and complain about stability issues.

Yeah, byobu is pretty much an opinionated tmux/screen (you can choose a backend).

Unless you automatically restart every service that is linked with a library when you update it, you are still vulnerable.
drummer32 | 10 years ago | on: Glibc getaddrinfo stack-based buffer overflow
It doesnt't. There's the needsrestart package that does this though.

Yes let's cripple the web by continuing to use unencrypted http, just because computers from 15 years ago won't be able to properly display some webpages...

It's not at all strange. Security updates to publicly-facing services should be applied as fast as possible. Kernel vulnerabilities are a whole different attack surface

There is nothing to patch on the server side. You need to ensure the ssh client is updated on the machines you are sshing from.

This[1] is on the very top of the fronpage right now. TrendMicro has a daemon listening on localhost that can execute arbitary commands.

We use twisted-vncauthproxy[1] to open a noVNC console from the UI to speak with the VNC port that each KVM is running on. Before that we used a Java applet with a similar vnc proxy software.

I don't understand you reasoning at all. What could be the problem with using a chat software that is released under AGPL?
drummer32 | 10 years ago | on: Firefox Bugzilla: Remove Pocket Integration
This is not about bloat. Mozilla was already developing read-it-later functionality for Firefox. In fact it's already on mobile versions. Hello and Pocket have almost no overhead because they are just APi calls to external services. This is about Mozilla endorsing thrid-party proprietary services.

I think they already do. You begin the download and after it has downloaded some portion of the game you can launch it and the stream the rest.

gravatar?
drummer32 | 11 years ago | on: Node.js, a popular tool for building modern internet services, has split in two
I think most of that was because of Oracle buying Sun. The MariaDB for and Postgres's rising popularity are the outcomes of that.
drummer32 | 11 years ago | on: On Linux, 'less' can probably get you owned
Yup, cause apparenlty staying the same for 25 years is the new normal.
Would you discard more too if it added the ability to page back in a document?

Browsers don't natively handle .flv files, they hand off the file to the flash plugin. If you try that with files the browser can handle (.mp4 videos, .mp3 music, .png images, etc.) you'll see that it works fine.

There is a kernel-lts packages that doesn't update as often, so you won't need to recompile every time.
