Thanks :) Looks Sailfish OS looks really good.



a labeling system


Great article by Dan Walsh about #SELinux and using labels.


On the SELinux mail list today, someone asked: I want to store the logs from openswan into a different file ( /var/log/ipsec ) than the default. For this purpose I added plutostderrlog=/var/log/ipsec to ipsec.conf. As long as I keep the server in permissive mode, openswan…



The new Hangouts is designed to put an end to the proliferation of Google chat services and promises to provide interesting features - but its missing XMPP support potentially means that numerous Google Talk contacts could be irretrievably lost


Seems to be too late for #dontbeevil

XMPP is the latest in the range of well-established open protocols to be dropped by Google.


Windows Server vs RHEL by Micro$oft


Compare Windows Server to Red Hat Enterprise Linux | Microsoft Windows Server

Compare Windows Server to Red Hat Enterprise Linux side by side on TCO, reliability, interoperability and manageability.

I like this one:

Microsoft approaches interoperability by design
in reply to Klaus Weidenbach

Nothing but lies about RH support here:
http://www.microsoft.com/hk/windowsserver/compare/linux/free-and-paid-support-options.mspx

Especially, I note, they allege that RH gets not free udpates and patches. Bullshite.

in reply to Klaus Weidenbach

Of course it is a lot of FUD, but the biggest problem is that they compare two completely different models. Also all the advantages that come with OpenSource and Linux are not mentioned.

But it is true that you only get ready to install patches for RHEL when you have a subscription, and when you just buy once a M$ license and CALs all further updates and patches you could call them "free" maybe.
The funny point is just, that M$ urges to get to a subscription model for all of their products, too.




What a great single-page design. Nice scrolling effects.

They want to ship at the end of 2013 for €399.



Jolla Love Day


Looking forward. #IamTheOtherHalf #unlike

Jolla - Love Day - I Am the Other Half

The live stream will start at approximately 16:30 GMT/UTC+0 (19:30 Finnish Time).
The show will last approximately for 30 minutes.


Wondering when companies start not just publishing Twitter, FB and G+ links, but a ~friendica ~friendica link. 😀

Conversation - Identi.ca

Jolla
Yes, seems that Friendica is favored, maybe switch from here to that.
in reply to Klaus Weidenbach

Just realised Jolla links to their identi.ca profile on their join.jolla.com page. But ~friendica ~friendica is still missing.
in reply to Klaus Weidenbach

They mentioned they might taggle that when then survived today 😀

Das Fernbusexperiment


Habe jetzt mal diese neuen Fernbusse ausprobiert. Auf der Hinfahrt waren wir gut 40Minuten zu spät und mit der Anreise zum Abfahrtsort erst in die andere Richtung, waren wir auch erst eine Stunde nach Abfahrt wieder näher am Ziel, als von unserem Ausgangspunkt aus. Die schnellste Verbindung ist es auf jeden Fall nicht. Da ich aber auch schon Abschlussfahrten hatte wo ich 2Tage mit Reisebussen unterwegs war ist dies nicht unbedingt ein Problem.
Der Preis ist dafür schon ziemlich attraktiv. Ich frage mich noch immer wie die Anreise zum Abfahrtsort mit dem ÖPNV €7,40 kosten kann und dann die Fahrt mit dem Fernbus nur €18,00!?! o_O Das steht doch in überhaupt keiner Relation.

Ein überraschend gut funktionierndes und dazu noch kostenloses WLAN ist schon ein ziemlich gutes und starkes Argument für mich.

Die Fahrer waren total unterschiedlich. Einer hat beim Fahren mehr telefoniert als alle Mitreisende zusammen, die anderen überhaupt nicht. Einer hat auf die Gurtpflicht aufmerksam gemacht, bei den anderen gab es gar keine Informationen. War aber auch ganz interessant zu lauschen worüber sich die Busfahrer so unterhalten haben. Scheinen nicht unbedingt die besten Arbeitsbedingungen da zu sein und die Zufriedenheit der Mitarbeiter auch nicht die beste, so dass es da nicht unbedingt konstante und zuverlässliche Verhältnisse immer gibt.

Interessant war es auf jeden Fall, ob ich es wiederholen werde wird sich wohl erst zeigen.



Das ist ja besser als früher ein ping of death. o_O

Eine einfache Zählerabfrage geriet aus einem süddeutschen Gasleitungsnetz in die Steuerung der europäischen Stromnetze. Was dann passierte, ist mit einen DDoS-Attacke zu vegleichen: Österreich stand kurz vor dem Blackout.

Just get the update notice on my Android tablet to replace Google Talk with Hangouts.

What happens actually with my tablet when I delete my Google account?

Hope I get soon a #Vivaldi tablet.

BDD tools


Mink and Behat, two tools I need to try when back from #oxcom13. I tried cucumber two years ago, but couldn't get it running. This looks really promising.



bye DynDNS


Das ist dann wohl auch das Ende meiner StatusNet Installation und ich muss mich auch etwas beeilen meine Groupware auf die neu VPS neu aufzusetzen. Und meinen Jabber-Server muss ich dann auch zügig migrieren. So viel zu tun.


Während es bislang reichte, seinen kostenlosen DynDNS-Namen bei Dyn.com per Update-Client am Leben zu erhalten, muss man sich dafür nun direkt an der Betreiber-Webseite anmelden.

don't like this

in reply to Klaus Weidenbach

Since I'm on dyndns this could be a big problem for me. Are there any alternative free DNS host services?
in reply to Bob Mottram

Unfortunately this article is german, but in the last paragraph they link to some alternatives. I haven't checked them yet, because you will loose your URL anyway. 🙁
So I will move to my own domain that I have anyway on my VPS with static IPs.

This sounds very interesting.

The government of Spain's autonomous region of Extremadura has begun the switch to open source of it desktop PCs. The government expects the majority of its 40,000 PCs to be migrated this year, the region's CIO Theodomir Cayetano announced on 18 April. Extremadura estimates that the move to open source will help save 30 million euro per year.

I have bought two hardcopy books by Tom Limoncelli already and they are really great. So this blog post was quite interesting to read.


Today is the International Day Against DRM. As an author, and one that is currently living on unemployment insurance payments, DRM-free scares the shit out of me. Every book I've ever published has been pirated. Some I have even found in the "/tmp" directory of open HTTP servers. Every time I see my books pirated I die a little inside. Writing is v...

We need more war machines


This is a really bad move of the german government. Germany's attitude towards worldwide trading of war machines is so hypocritical. #GermanWeaponsForTheWorld

What will a country - that has somewhat of 17000 islands - do with such huge and heavy tanks? How should these get used to defend the country? o_O This is so ridiculous! So either it is for the sake of wasting money or to use it for purposes that other governments were already concerned about and rejected to deliver tanks for.


The German government has approved plans to export 104 main battle tanks to Indonesia along with dozens of other armored vehicles — drawing ...


The Nederland rejected to sell tanks because of questionable human rights conditions and concerns.


An opposition politician has told DW that the German government has approved the sale of 164 tanks to Indonesia. The country joins Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on a contentious new export list.


Another interesting article by DW from last year already


With Indonesia set to invest in a major tank deal with German suppliers, concerns over human rights abuses refuse to go away. There are also questions as to whether the archipelago nation needs such equipment.
