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.

Indeed.

And isn't Debian mostly used on servers?

I know it's what I use on all my servers, while using Ubuntu these days for my notebook. If my notebook can boot faster when I need to restart it, I'm interested. But for my servers, no thanks. What is wrong with the simple and reliable SysV init scripts used by Debian now?

I have tried several GUIs for iptables, and also a few firewall scripts for both a few servers and my notebook. In the end, I have always been frustrated.

Finally, for my rather simple needs, I have a simple (~ 100-150 lines) file in "iptables-save" format, and a short custom init script which basically does iptables-restore from that file or saves to it.

I am not convinced that a GUI would be clearer / more readable / more flexible than that. At least, the ones I tried were not.

One interesting feature in NFTables for me is that it seems to support predefined variables. As I understand it, I could use a very similar approach, just have the added benefit of being able to declare stuff like "LAN=192.168.xx.0/24", "Mail=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" etc. and use variables in the actual rules. That would be a nice improvement, even if I have to learn a new rule syntax, which doesn't seem too obscure from what I could see.

I run Debian stable on all my servers.

My main "desktop" (actually a notebook) runs Ubuntu 12.04. I would consider trying Mint instead when I need to change the machine, but it seems I will have to chose between Mint with Cinnamon or Mint with something else which I can't remember).

"Preferred distribution" is meaningless without specifying the machine's purpose.

When I heard last year that there may have been problems with the leap second, I checked the few Linux servers I take care of, and all seemed to be fine. They sync their time to NTP servers.

What was that problem, anyway? Or did it only affect some very busy servers? Or only in some very special circumstances? Last year's leap second wasn't anything really new either. There had been occasional leap seconds for many years. (But usually on Dec 31).
