I really want to like libressl. But it pretends to be openssl badly. They refused a patch that would have mitigated this whole RAND_egd problem by simply returning that it doesn't work when someone tries to use it, which means that you commonly need a patch to use it at all. If it's not going to work like openssl, then it shouldn't occupy the same space in the filesystem.

So I was given an Intel DG41TY motherboard with a Core 2 Duo E7500, 2.9 GHz.

I wanted to OC the board a bit. Looking around, none of the direct FSB mod programs supported my clock generator.

Fuck it - we're bit-banging this motherfucker MANUALLY WITH A PIEZOELECTRIC LIGHTER IGNITOR.

Grab datasheets, start checking for how this thing interprets signals. Cool, now I know how this clock generator works, and how I need to feed electricity to it to generate my desired clock speed for the FSB. Solder on a couple of diodes for the voltage drop, add on a resistor. Attach to the appropriate pin. CLICK THE PIEZO. Watch the FSB ramp up 300 MHz and immediately lock the computer. Okay, math was off, let's re-figure what I... OH! Read the resistor value wrong! Derp. Okay proper resistor is on. Try again. Oooh! 1 MHz incrementation, PERFECT! Test... Test... Test....

Okay, CPU-Z is smoking crack. 15 GHz? I FUCKING WISH!

In the end, I got CPU-Z to report the real OC - 3.3GHz stable, zero voltage adjustments.

Just because the software to do it doesn't exist doesn't mean it can't be done another way.

This is not news to most people, but I just tried it for the first time on my first-ever normal Debian Wheezy install (I've always done minimal, netinst etc. and built it up from there for a purpose) and wow, GNOME3 is amazingly horrible. It makes Unity look usable. If that was the idea, mission accomplished, I guess.

Welp, I can use Slashdot in Chrome and not in Firefox, which implies that something I'm blocking in Firefox is preventing the new improved Slashdot from working. What new spyware bullshit do I have to enable to use Slashdot now? Thanks, DICE! You'll run this place the rest of the way into the ground any day now.

Then they modded down five of my comments in a row. Why doesn't the system catch this kind of obviously abusive moderation? Oh right, because this is slashdot, not someplace with competent employees.

If moderation on slashdot were intelligently designed, this person's abusive moderation would have been autodetected and they would have been banned from moderation permanently.

While trying to debug a site today (thanks to CloudFlare's Anti-DDoS blocking my customers from using anonymous/private mode browsing,) I discovered that CloudFlare's anti-DDoS measures will actively kill any instance of Firebug running in your browser. As a web developer, I find this pretty annoying. As a site administrator, I find their lack of respect for my customer's privacy appalling. But what I find even worse, is that CloudFlare is actively modifying my computer programs and how they operate, without any expressed permission or knowledge. Is this by any chance a potential CFAA violation?

Anyone still lurking around this place? I see several people are still active here.... quite a huge pile of names I have not seen in a long long time.

The very man that taught me healthy cooking, my father, is now having to take healthy cooking advice from me in order to manage Type-II diabetes.

It hurts, and the irony is straight shitty. You'd think the old man would know better.

Guess alcohol affects us all in various ways. I know I'm a shit drunk.

Lately, I'm seeing more and more "reign in" on Slashdot and I've got to say, I'm disappointed.

I need a new system on which to run asterisk, bonus points if I don't have to configure it from scratch. I'd like to spend less than $200 (ideally I'd pick up something used if necessary for $100) but I have storage devices available, whether CF, SD, USB, or what have you. It can have wireless, but it doesn't have to because I have a routerboard for that. I have found my pogoplugs to be unreliable at best.

Well, Soylent decided to rub me the wrong way.

Anyone want 26 vulnerabilites, POC, and sample code to what their site runs on, with full VM pre-loaded with POC and code snippets for testing?

My old Coleman 5324 CFL lantern had the bulb die (ballast still good.)

However, I did not want to go back to the horribly inefficient CFL it used.

So I slammed in an MK-R LED with a heat sink.

This weekend, I'll be making a test video from the top of the nearby mountain. I'm going to try to spotlight my camera at my apartment while atop that mountain, and compare it to other light sources, like the LED on the iPhone 4S.

We're finally open!

What else can I say? Simple, easy wall AC-LED drive has been achieved.

12V was the first step. This is ~105V. POC done.
