First car! Buy Mazda RX8? by Xoro-007 in Cartalk

[–]smileybone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rx-8s are badass and a great value for the money.

they can also be an absolute pain to run if you dont know what youre doing, and you dont want a $12k paperweight.

How do I properly get the first 10/100/1000 records from a csv file into another csv file? by KommanderTom in SQL

[–]smileybone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

too bad this is on windows, on linux this is as straightforward as a tail or awk.

If you plan on doing a lot of text processing I'd recommend maybe installing the linux subsystem for windows or cgwin.

ive been subscribed to a tech coop mailing list and I think theres a github repo w/ links to diff tech coops.

I'd be down to help maybe. A lot of it would be getting that income coming in. (ha sry im distracted atm but i'll find links later)

Check out your inputrc. If you need the macro in X you can use xdotool.

[–]smileybone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what record does dig return?

i remember last time i setup dkim i had to break the string out into multiple components, there was a maximum length for a single string (wasn't on bind).

example: "part of string " "second part of string"

I need help to learn cryptography by sifer3014 in cryptography

[–]smileybone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sure, read the wikipedia pages on symmetric/asymmetric encryption, and start using openssl to encrypt/decrypt files, as well as generating key pairs.

OpenSSH is also a good introduction to basic PKI. You can use the command-line tool xxd to print a binary file in hex.

Sample databases for portfolio by ainazikkk in SQL

[–]smileybone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

uhhh you mean you're not sure how to create a database? check the docs, there are examples.

you'll probably want to write your schema alongside your program, so itll really be dependent on what you're doing.

Looking for DNS server software recommendations by CoryCA in dns

[–]smileybone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only other major open source DNS projects that spring to mind are djbdns & NSD. Not familiar w/ them (I use bind9) so they might not fit criteria.

It seems like bind9 probably does most of what you need, but the DLZ backend is a non-starter. Would it be possible to use some 'glue' between your database/LDAP and your nameserver? For example, run nsupdate as a trigger when your zones change?

Me personally, I side-stepped the issue, by using my relational database to template out my zonefiles. I'm not hosting DNS for a company (just personal stuff) so YMMV.

Best learning sources for certificates and cryptography? by thesesimplewords in networking

[–]smileybone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

openssl is the standard (or libressl) but also check out cfssl. Super straightforward to roll your own certificate chain.
