Interessanter Kommentar von Clemens Gleich bei heise online.

Die Dekadenz jährlichen Handy-Neukaufs nervt genauso wie diese farbig anodisierten Kaffeekapseln, findet Clemens Gleich. Er verwendet die abgelegten Telefone der 24-Monats-Vertragler und ist damit mittlerweile bei seinem ersten Smartphone angelangt.


Mylar Client Side Encryption in Browser



Play with Mylar! Download it using git, and then follow the instructions in README.md. For more information on Mylar, contact raluca AT csail DOT mit DOT edu. We secured real applications with Mylar including a medical application (performing a survey of patients suffering from endometriosis) led by surgeons from Mass. General and Newton-Wellesley ...


Interesting project for secure web applications from MIT.

Mylar ensures that client-side application code is authentic, even if the server is malicious.


Get one already!



I've been building computers since the 1990s, so I've seen a lot of new technologies work their way into the mainstream. Most were the steady, incremental improvements predicted by Moore's law, but others were game-changers, innovations that really rocketed performance forward in a surprising way.


I have ordered my first #SSD today.
Need to test bit with dm-cache and the other ways to use it before setting up my new home virtualisation server.



C3S exists


Some more link SPAM for today 😉

Good to see progress in #C3S (Cultural Commons Collecting Society).


Exciting news: We exist! As of Friday, March 28, 2014, we are a registered European co-operative.
Meinhard posted this to the administrative board yesterday. The excitement and happiness amongst the administrative board members was quite evident from the mails that came in on our core-team list.

This is an enourmous for the C3S: registered as a co-operative means that we can actually start do ...

Red Hat's Jason Hibbets: How Open Source Software is Changing City Government

You're about to learn CSS Selectors! Selectors are how you pick which element to apply styles to. Here, the "p" is the selector (selects all elements) and applies the margin-bottom style. To play, type in a CSS selector in the editor below to select the correct items on the table. If you get it right, you'll advance to the next level. Hover ove...


#CAcert trying once more to get into Mozilla. But why they already have this internal auditor since December but just give out this announcement few days after Debian dropped them?

CAcert gets down to business to the next step for reopening the audit process and has appointed Benedikt Heintel as internal auditor in last december. The goal is the acceptance of CAcert as trustworthy certificate authority. Benedikt Heintel cares for the compliance of internal process flows with the rules and thereby for the reliability and trustworthiness of the CA ...



Um mehr Zeit für den Umstieg auf ein modernes Windows zu gewinnen, erkauft sich das Land Niedersachsen ein weiteres Jahr an Sicherheits-Updates für Windows XP.


Oh man wie geil:

Wie viel die zusätzliche Produktpflege für Windows XP kostet, wollte die Behörde nicht verraten, da die Preisverhandlungen derzeit noch laufen. Im Gespräch mit c't während der CeBIT meinte Microsoft-Manager Oliver Gürtler allerdings, dass der Preis für so eine Verlängerung der Support-Laufzeit so hoch ist, dass er selbst für viele Firmen zu teuer sein dürfte.

TYPO3CMS 6.2 Release Party in Bonn


Heute war es also so weit. Das lang erwartete TYPO3 CMS 6.2 LTS Release ist erschienen #TYPO3CMSLTS
TYPO3 6.2 Release Notes

Leider hatte ich es total verpeilt und auch erst heute Mittag über die Release Party in Bonn erfahren, es aber doch zum Glück noch dahin geschafft. UnserActive contributor vom TYPO3 CMS Philipp hat die Neuerungen und Änderungen der 6.2 vorgestellt und viel dazu erzählt. Die Bonner Internetagentur SimpleThings war so freundlich und hat uns ihre Räumlichkeiten zur Verfügung gestellt und auch für Getränke und Knabbereien gesorgt. Vielen Dank fürs nette Sponsoring und die tolle Location.
Der nächste Bonner TYPO3 Usergroup Stammtisch ist für Anfang Mai geplant zum Thema TYPO3 Migration auf 6.2. Freue mich schon sehr darauf. #TYPO3UG

Interesting tutorial how to create Flappy Bird as a #HTML5 game.

How to make a Flappy Bird in HTML5 - Part 1

I'm building one html5 game per week on lessmilk.com This is the blog where I write about my project. About 2 months ago I set myself a challenge: build one new HTML5 game per week on lessmilk.com. So far I have 9 games available. Since I started a lot of people have asked me to write about how to make games. In this post we will see how to make a ...



Heute mein CAcert Zertifikat für meinen ~friendica ~friendica Server verlängert und dann lese ich das...


Die Linux-Distribution Debian hat die SSL-Stammzertifikate von CAcert.org entfernt: Einige Entwickler bemängeln die Sicherheit und die Vertrauenswürdigkeit der Community-Zertifizierungsstelle, andere kritisieren Debians Schritt jedoch.


:shrug Ich habe Debian irgendwie noch nie verstanden.



Not meant to be offline?


The current Jolla release 1.0.4.20 (Ohijärvi) is really annoying if you want to be offline or if you have no internet connection. Even if I disable WLAN in the settings it pop ups the message to enable WLAN every 30 seconds or something like that. At least it makes reading something offline a PITA.

Had to work with M$ Windows 8.1 the first time on Wednesday. Also bought the first time a branded computer. But it feels much more like it is a convenient surveillance machine. Our PC at kindergarten was quite an old WinXP machine and I had planned to replace it until April. This week it broke and we needed a replacement now.

It is an Acer desktop PC with built in surveillance tools bluetooth enabled, WIFI enabled and millions of pre installed tools I have no idea what they are all doing. The tasks you have to do during installation have really changed a lot and are so different from what I knew so far. Actually I only answered questions about privacy and what what I don't want to allow Micro$oft. Really strange! o_O

OMG what is all this pre installed stuff? I was 2 hours busy deleting all the crap, just to realise that every new user I create gets all this crap installed again. :-( There have been two trial virus scanner, 2-3 cloud storage services, 2 weather apps, 3 music streaming services, 2 travel booking tools, 3 news readers, millions of games, etc.
Eleven hours after first contact I had also the first crash when accessing a USB harddisk, only metro was working, but not the old desktop anymore.
Still preparing the new computer with software they need and transferring the old data and settings over to the new one. So this is what I have been up the last few days. :-!



Automating manual or repetitive tasks is a source of great satisfaction for admins, but great disasters may await


Ein ziemlich interessanter Rückblick von Peer Heinlein über die CeBIT2014 und der Umgang mit dem OpenSource Bereich.


Eine Woche Messestand auf der CeBIT haben wir nun hinter uns — alle freuen sich wieder auf zu Hause. Der Open Source Park in Halle 6 wurde wie üblich von der CeBIT nicht wirklich beworben und ausreichend gewürdigt — auch die schon oft zugesagte Ausschilderung dieses Bereichs an den Hallen viel wieder einmal sang- und klanglos unter den Tisch....


Ich habe auch noch einen Draft irgendwo rumliegen mit meinem Rückblick auf diese CeBIT. War in der Tat sehr anders dieses Jahr.
