Are you kidding?

How many servers run Linux?
How many Desktops?
Who cares about Linux (who is the "audience" for Linux)?

My main machine is actually a Linux notebook. It's a pretty miserable desktop, but it's OK for what I do, and I have the comfort of a real shell, and real keyboard with all the keys, and can try out sonme server stuff on my notebook. But I could replace it with a Mac or Windows notebook if necessary.

Where I really care about Linux is on servers. Headless servers, with neither Gnome nor KDE installed.

Until now, I heard that systemd would boot faster. Maybe it has some other benefits for servers, but boot spped is certainly not one of them. The servers spend much more time in the BIOS screens than booting the OS, and they reboot about once a year or less. So to convince me, it will need much more than a few seconds of boot speed...

It may not be obvious to the /. crowd, but nobody uses ad blockers. Of the people I know, I am the only one who does.

If a website goes to the trouble of preventing ad blockers for such a tiny demographic, chances are high that I'm not interested in their "content" anyway (if there is any).

It could, but it isn't. I was shocked to discover that my TC volume was still mounted after resuming from sleep. After all, notebooks get stolen, and that is why I have my passwords and SSH keys in a TrueCrypt volume. And notebooks are not normally shut down but put in sleep mode instead. So I discovered that the way Truecrypt worked made it's encryption quite irrelevant...

I fixed the problem on my Ubuntu notebook with a "tc-unmount" script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ but I guess not many people do that. In Windows, I think there is a configuration setting for unmounting on sleep, but it was not enabled by default last time I looked.

So, while it may sound impressive that it is possible to extract the keys from RAM, it is usually unnecessary. The volume may simply be mounted and directly accessible, even after sleep.

That sounds so weird that it is hard to believe.

If you cannot transfer money to your friend's account, how can you transfer any money to any account? And if you cannot transfer money to another account, then why do you have a bank account at all? That doesn't make sense.

Maybe what you mean is that you could do it free of charge, and that now there is a small transaction fee, even if both accounts are in the same bank?

Or maybe the redesigned their web pages and you didn't find the correc page page for transfers to another account?

As mentioned already, there is hardly any content for a 4K TV. Nobody broadcasts 4K, and there is no 4K cable provider either.

While there are 4K movie theaters, and some productions are really shot and finished in 4K, most are not. And the current model of the most professional and widely used motion picture camera, the Arri Alexa, is not 4K.

From their FAQ:

Well, hex is fine to give the age up to 57. From 50 to 57, it makes you look really youg: 32 to 39. Then at 58, it starts to look weird: 3A.

Will the dark side be able to disturb the course of this story?

traceroute -m 100 216.81.59.173

Yes, it's only on google.co.uk for me. It's actually not only a logo, but a silly little game. Funny.

What Google doodle? Was it yesterday?

Yes, where is the link? I'm not in the UK, so I can't see it. Where is the torrent???

mod parent up. Indeed, without the keys, this list is useless. I have 2 accounts in this list, and I know the password. That doesn't help me at all in decrypting the other passwords. As far as I know, there is no easy know-plaintext attack on 3DES.

the filename is users.tar.gz of course, not users.atr.gz

Here is the essential part missing from the summary:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:441582b9204dad5a26199aa51c7746d641f95b21&dn=users.tar.gz&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337

The file is called users.atr.gz, and is 4 GB.

As already shown by http://xkcd.com/1286/ , this looks like a fun project for a lonely rainy week-end...

Unfortunately, the repeater is a Windows program. That is what you need to run on a server with a fixed IP. If you already have a server somewhere with a fixed IP, chances are high that it runs Linux or some BSD.

I once set up a very simple repeater on my Debian server, to use with UltraVNC (which is what ChunkVNC uses). It worked, but there were no easy instructions on how to set it up, or how to pre-configure the Windows UltraVNC endpoints. Also, if I remember correctly, it only supported one connection at a time.

Anyway, ChunkVNC would probably be a nice solution if it had a repeater daemon for Unix systems. And while ChunkVNC itself is open source, I don't think that it's UltraVNC component is.
