Freifunk statt Angst: Für die komplette Abschaffung der Störerhaftung! (Monic Meisel)





Freien, anonymen und für jeden offenen Zugang zum Internet sehen Freifunker als Grundrecht an.

Eigentlich sollte jeder sein WLAN einfach teilen können. Aufgrund der unklaren Rechtslage im Bezug auf die Störerhaftung sind jedoch viele Menschen verunsichert. Deshalb
wurde von Freifunk spezielle Software für WLAN-Router entwickelt, die den Internetverkehr per VPN Tunnel aus dem offenen WLAN ü ...

Creating suitable templates for your performance data in pnp4nagios is really worth the effort. Should have worked with the pnp4nagios templates much earlier! Still so many ideas how to improve it and add more features. Just realized today how long I haven't really worked with our monitoring system anymore. Had to delegate this task some years ago to others, but now I see how much more you could do with it and somehow I regret it.

Testing OTRS in a container
This was a long evening with OTRS and Docker. :yawn Used Docker more as a test&trash environment today, but my notes I always make should be nearly complete do write a Dockerfile to get an image that will let me continue from this point without all the manual steps. But for production it still needs a lot of work, like separating database, installing missing optional packages and I need to see what is the intended way to run cronjobs in Docker.

At least, both tools I will use more often in the future!

Kernel panic with Docker
Already had several Kernel panics while playing with Docker. :-( Until now I only tried it on one machine, so not sure if something else is maybe wrong here.

Always got to hear there is no CPU stats for DELL switches, also the monitoring plugins I saw had fans, temp, psu, ports, etc. but no CPU. So I was bit excited when I found CPU stats in SNMP today for a DELL PowerConnect 2848. But then again in other places the SNMP implementation is just broken. It is the most recent firmware 1.0.0.45 from last year. :-!$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public switchaddress .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7

Irritating times
Interesting expressions "expressed their displeasure", "the US was annoyed".

DW.DE: US irritated by German response to spying scandal | News | DW.DE | 11.07.2014



US officials have expressed their displeasure a day after Germany expelled the CIA chief in Berlin amid a new spying scandal. Earlier, Germany's foreign minister called for a renewal of ties based "on mutual respect."
Interesting insights in the state of mind of intelligence agencies:
"Allies with sophisticated intelligence agencies like the United States and Germany understand with some degree of detail exactly what those intelligence relationships and activities entail," Earnest told a White House briefing on Friday.
"Any differences that we have are most effectively resolved through established private channels, not through the media," he added.
Meanwhile, Mike Rogers, chairman of the US House of Representatives intelligence committee accused Germany of throwing a "temper tantrum." Rogers told US news broadcaster CNN that US information had "saved German lives" and that Berlin was avoiding an "adult conversation" on the issue.
If they saved German lives by spying the german government I think the german public has a right to know more details. o_O
