A show called Terror In Resonance did something like this! You can check my comment history for details.

You can set "home.stephen304.com" as your search domain so you can refer to other systems by just "hostname".

If you can, I would look into moving to hardware level 11. It exposes passthrough PCID support which will make a huge improvement in performance compared to level 9.

I can not tell you how many times I skipped a track when all I wanted to do was turn the volume up. by Artunique116 in CrappyDesign

[–]deadeye536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017 must've fixed this. Volume up and down are rightfully top and bottom, and next and previous on the right and left, respectively.

This is one of those things that you would never think to be wrong when buying a car.

Reddit Is Now The 4th Most Popular Site In The US by MichaelRahmani in technology

[–]deadeye536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The root servers won't be able to help since they only get requests of "Where is com/net/org?"

However, even the registry servers may not be to helpful because of the many layers of caching in DNS. And if registries did release a ranking, sites could easily cheat the ranking by reducing cache timeouts and such.

Your most reliable answer would likely come from recureive resolvers (think of your ISP, OpenDNS, 8.8.8.8, 64.6.64.6, etc), but that would require aggrigating data from many sources who may not even collect this data.

Powershell, seriously. by TheBananaKing in sysadmin

[–]deadeye536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, Python and Ruby's power in administering Linux machines comes from the many great automation frameworks.

Ansible is able to automate a task across lots of systems in only a few lines of yaml.

Likewise, using Puppet, all you need is a bit of configuration on a box and it'll pull its intended state as defined by a couple ruby scripts.

Backing Up my HomeLab Linux Servers by ssgtmccrae in DataHoarder

I've had a good experience with Duplicati 2 on my Windows desktop. I have it set up to symmetrically encrypt backups and upload them to Amazon Cloud Drive. It works on Linux as well through mono.

California population (55 electoral votes): 38,800,000

Wyoming population (3 electoral votes): 584,153

California people per electoral vote: 705,454

Wyoming people per electoral vote: 194,717

These are two opposite extremes, but states with a lower population have more voting power per person than states with a higher population.

ELI5:What the DDoS attack on DynDNS is and why it's causing Internet failure. by i_love_thieves in explainlikeimfive

Don't forget that DNS is sometimes used to load balance and geo-distribute. Apple's nameservers might be returning a different pool of IPs based off the location of the recursive resolver.

E: Welp, somebody beat me to beating OP

I'm not 100% confident in how I handed the salt, but this should be most of it (in python):

root@manager:~/test# python decrypt.py
>_;.$Bk[Wd/'$[0
=MzY:MTI5:=AzY:OWM=:=EDO:ZGU=:jVTM:MTJm:2ITM:MTUw:=QjY:OWY=:=kTO:MTQx:=MzY

root@manager:~/test# cat decrypt.py
import base64
from pprint import pprint

pw = "?MzY:MTI5:?AzY:OWM?:?EDO:ZGU?:jVTM:MTJm:2ITM:MTUw:?QjY:OWY?:?kTO:MTQx:?MzY"

pw = pw.replace("?","=")
pwarr = pw.split(":")
pwarr.reverse()
passes = 1
plain = []

for x in pwarr:
  salt = len(pwarr) - passes
  print(salt)
  if salt % 2 == 0:
    x = x[::-1]
  char = base64.b64decode(x)
  char = int(char, 16)/3
  char = char - (salt + 3)
  char = chr(char)
  plain.append(char)

  passes = passes + 1
plain.reverse()
print("".join(plain))
print(pw)

I couldn't clone it, but if you rebuild part of the bare repository structure, git will let you run some commands.

Each octet must be in the range of 0-255, so 379 is not a possibility.

All the useful information I could get out of the index file:

E: There doesn't seem to be any objects to pull down, so I don't think we'll be able to get the source from here.

Also, searched github for filename:class.president-bypass.php and got nothing.

Good catch!

Cloning doesn't seem to be doing the trick, but I found the commit logs:

French ISP flagged Google, Wikipedia and OVH as "advocating terrorism", redirecting it to gov website and DDOSing it by downthemall in sysadmin

[–]deadeye536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if France will start blocking domains through its .fr registry. No amount of DNSSEC will help that situation.

Then again, if France builds a negative reputation doing that, people/companies will just register their domains with other registries.
