    Smart TV's

    $35 raspberry pi + openELEC does everything and more that Apple TV can give you. Open source hardware, open source software. Leaks have definitely shown that there are backdoors into Apples walled garden. In terms of webcams they're hard to avoid these days because pretty well all laptops have em - can open the fucker up and disconnect the cable though, or run a applet that tells you if it's been enabled. Scary times.

    Smart TV's

    Get a very basic computer with two NIC's and set up a firewall, input your ADSL model into firewall, set up the switch and run your cabling and your wireless router from there. Set up a wireless client filter on your wireless router, disable WPS and use a strong password. Can even disable DHCP and only use static routing to be extra sure. Won't stop the NSA because they can exploit anything, but will stop hackers getting in.

    Tips to deal with difficult people at work..?

    Confront the person and tell them to grow the fuck up and focus on the job. If they've got a problem tell them to air it, get it out there and get on with it. You're both there to do a task and get paid, nothing more, nothing less and unless you're getting paid a hell of a lot it's not worth it to take shit. You don't have to like each other but if it's interfering with the work dynamic and you're not the problem go to a higher up and explain it exactly this way: Petty bitchiness and strong egos are getting in the way of work, lowering moral and productivity, and it needs to be dealt with. If the higher ups are the problems tell em to go fuck themselves and find another job - there is no shortage of hospitality work, where I live anyway. Luckily now I don't have bosses and colleagues - I have clients.

    Post your track of the day

    Okay just for a lil bit a background... I got really into a release in 2012 by a group Purity Ring. They collaborated with my current fav rapper Danny Brown redoing one of their songs (Belispeak) with him, and then collaborated again together on Danny Brown's new release with a track called 25 bucks. Here are both: Belispeak II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpdyGFmct78 25 Bucks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXfCpYIFsHY

    Massive packet loss enroute to SAB

    Those 'unknown' tesltra IP addresses are part of their international network infrastructure so makes sense that it'd hop there before hitting singapore. As you said I can't see why packet loss should be occurring there unless they had some malfunction on the lines or their routers fucking out, but even then at that stage there should be enough line redundancy that malfunction shouldn't cause packet loss because it'd affect all traffic going from Australia to Asia. I'm not sure if you've read into the 5 eyes network but that's the spot where all information passing through is likely being logged and stored as a rolling 3 day buffer of metadata... every call, every sms, every packet. And if gov deps decide they want to probe deeper they flag you, intercept your traffic and run against a system that will generate exploits custom to your host - then it's going to occur there as well. It's no longer paranoid conspiracy shit - the leaks are out and it's happening.

    How far south do cubes occur?

    Definitely seen south of Sydney and in terms of climate I'd imagine the question would be not so much how far south as how far inland. So long as there is coastal humidity in summer I can't see anywhere on the east coast that they wouldn't grow.

    glass pipes

    Haha a local tobacconist nearby me will only respond if you ask for a sweet puff - all other questions associated will be met with denial of such products. Took me a few visits before I worked that one out with mate's insisting they stocked em. Hope you got sorted hehe. Shard is always a sensitive issue - not just among the hippies but around many substance users in general. I've been close enough to see live's ruined but kept far enough away to keep my own intact. As with everything it always comes down to the individual, the intent and the environment. Some people are wired differently and can't handle it, and some who are aware of their limits can use responsibly. I've had past habits that I felt spin out of control for certain vices in the past but I've always viewed it as my responsibility as opposed to the substance in question. I don't believe it should always be black and white, or that it's fair to vindicate any substance in preference over others. Attaching morals to a chemical isn't going to make a problem go away. At the end of the day it's a fucking molecule and it's not going to give a shit if you blame it for the problems it causes. The cops aren't going to make the problem go away for putting people in jail for using it, nor is offering rehabilitation services to people with waiting lists of several weeks going to help everyone out their that needs it. Such a good vs evil perspective is nonconstructive to achieve the societal shift this country needs in terms of law reform. We should be accepting that drugs cause issues in society and that the price of prohibition is preventing us from funneling said money into health\treatment and harm minimization efforts in order to address said problems.

    interest in 95% alcohol, not metho

    ^^ I can vouch for that one... but I'm a regular there. My local little corner (non compounding) pharmacy gave me 200mL for $5 because I asked about iso and they didn't have it at same purity.

    Basic Encryption

    The whole freenet idea allows for a darknet mode - meaning a p2p mesh of only nodes that we invite to join, though the downside is there needs to be a few dedicated nodes with constant uptime. Pigeon with OTR is pretty fuckn solid though if you run off a tails install.

    Just want to bump this thread up so I could throw this out there as an idea for group chat hosting... i2p or freenet + IRC?

    good hip hop?

    More of a rapper than hip hop - Southern US with UK Grime influence... Danny Brown - dude just released another album. On Fool's Gold who have been releasing some really interesting rap\hip-hop with EDM influence. Here's a fresh one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZa2lY9CFyM

    What are your ethnic origins?

    Boring as here... British and French on fathers side.. Irish but further back on my mums. Apparently related somehow to Buffalo Bill on my mums side of family tree, and apparently some familial link to French aristocracy on my Dad's side - something my UK dual passport wielding partner loves to tease. Apparently anyway - for all I know the people who cared enough to do the family tree were just senile and its a load of rubbish.
  15. I wanted to vote No Punishment + Drug Counselling... For minor possession of any substance I believe that there should be the opportunity extended to provide drug counselling and rehabilitation services, particularly when dealing with drugs of addiction, but that it shouldn't be enforced unless people are willing to under go treatment.

    Corroboree Community Services

    Linux Server Admin - Basically looks like this: ...but I extend my services to anyone here for tech stuff in general, if anybody needs help or advice be it building\buying PCs, software, security, network, home theater, smart phones\tablets, server hosting, scripting n automation etc. Absolutely hate making the actual webpages but if Slybacon builds it, I'm happy to lend a hand for the service side of things in terms of server design, scaling, security practices and administration. Prefer to work with open source stuff if you're happy not to pay money for software. Based in Syd but the nature of the stuff I'm offering lends itself to remote assistance.

    Staying off the radar

    Just want to mention that recently I've been adding a few different host files on the internet containing malware and ad domains to my /etc/hosts on my android and linux devices thanks to Apoth.'s advice. I recommend doing the same as not only does it block ads in browsers and apps on my hosts but also blocks connection to those domains if malware somehow does get onto your hosts so they can't phone home.

    Haha, sorry just noticed my 5 duplicate posts... must have been having some connection issues that night so apologies. Which lazy admin let those stay on there lol?

    Sure, I understand Torsten. I'm not really a coder - just deal with more the virtual server and network side of things, and often bridging services to PHP apis which can often require coding or at least modification of other source code. So basically majority of my scripting involves just automating custom tasks for the server. As Sally said the files I'm taking about don't really involve indexing, and the first two I mentioned are strictly involved with the webserver which should only get overwritten if you were to purge Apache or whatever of the configuration files. The first more specifies the global Apache (as an example) config like the webserver IP and port configurations, the location of the folder on the server, and the modules to load etc. The second provides more the rules specific to particular hosts, pages and folders on the server. e.g. of stuff in httpd.conf info #<VirtualHost *:80> # ServerAdmin [email protected] # DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com # ServerName dummy-host.example.com # ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log # CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common #</VirtualHost> The SSL server and certificate configuration runs as it's own service outside of PHP and Apache, and then a module for Apache (mod_ssl) allows you to tell sites how to use SSL. mod_ssl: <VirtualHost example.com:443> ServerName example.com ServerAlias example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com LogLevel warn SSLEngine on SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/cert.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/keyfile.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/Bundle.crt .....etc etc etc </VirtualHost> The convenient thing about HTTPS is that it just serves to direct the same information but just over a secure channel if it can, but otherwise business as usual if a secure connection cannot be established. When configured this way at least a tell tail sign that a MITM + SSLstrip is occurring is that there isn't green colour and a padlock symbol. There is no need to alter the structure of the website itself, and the autoupdate will find everything in the exact same places. In terms of indexing there is a htaccess rewrite that directs secure traffic over SSL and unsecure traffic as normal. "Doing this will redirect any traffic on the secure socket layer that is requesting your robots.txt file to the robots_ssl.txt (but not on unsecure version. your regular robots.txt will be served). Bam you can now serve both secure and unsecured versions of your website without fear IMO it is better to have your non secure pages be indexed. My website did much better in google with non secure pages, and this will avoid duplicate content penalization. " Hope you find this information useful at the very least when SSL is supported enough for you to consider configuring, and I do understand your reservations. I was just trying to help since I deal with this stuff a fair bit - work and hobby.

    Yeah that was the forum Yeah that was the thread I read about it when I said it looks doable. I've had to do far messier over the past few months when downtime isn't an option because it means losing money. There are only 3 files I see necessary to be modified in the process - httpd.conf, .htaccess and conf_global.php. Way I usually go about it is I create a backup of the file, make a modification, refresh webpage in browser - if connection fails, revert to backup file. Downtime less than 60 seconds each time this happens. Also for this kind of operation if the SSL side of things errors in configuration during majority of the process just means the connection when trying to use https will revert to http instead. Worth considering anyway.

    Had a look and it's definitely doable. You'd need to a purchase a domain validated certificate but besides that if you're ever keen send me a PM and I'll happily have a crack it for you.

    Oh dude don't get me wrong I know that https isn't perfect. It's a fucking breeze to MITM and drop em down to just http + sniff passes in plain text... if you're standing between the host and a gateway in particular, but at least it has telltale signs which hard to miss. Basically https is better than nothing. My concern is not big brother dude. My concern is to do with forums like this being prime targets by hackers... I admin on an telecommunication web server that provides enterprise level service, and I see whats dudes are trying all the time from logreports. On forums I guarantee plenty of people people use the same password for their email address as their login, and same user and pass for other web accounts, AND provide the email address for which they share those passes. Hackers know this as well.

    Yeah was going to mention that there was some issue with the cookies and logging me out but figured I should clear my cookies first lol... also went and inspected the cookie data and noticed that I was allowing a pass hash to be saved without SSL on this site so will be turning that feature the fuck off. Is there any intention of setting up https? I'm kinda not particularly comfortable with having an account on sites without SSL to secure user and pass data during login and it's not exactly difficult to set it up.

    I used to always want to take a couple hundred Frangipani clones and grow em for 10 years after I saw how much established trees sold for.

    Recovering from FACEBOOK

    I kicked FB a couple months back and only then was I able to see truly how habitual it was... twice I sat down at the PC and the next thing I knew I had logged in and reactivated my account out of habit and not only realising until my partner looked over and said "are you back on facebook now?" I still think on a regular basis when I hear something worth ranting or joking about "if only I was on facebook - I could share this fleeting thought with people" and then remind myself that I don't need other people to validate my opinions or witticisms. It has also made me reconsider the people in my life that I have the time and desire to keep in contact with via phone or in person, versus the 'friends' I haven't corresponded with since deleting my account. Settling down with my partner and not partying as much has reduced my overall social exposure, but I am still not short of close friends by any means. I remember a middle aged bogan woman telling me once that friends are there for 'a reason, a season or for life'... it's just the way it goes.
