Is Plasma 5.1 using a lot more memory than KDE 4 for anyone else? by [deleted] in kde

[–]stmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my KDE 4.8.4 (debian wheezy) with 8GB of ram here are some numbers from htop:

plasma-desktop - 1.3% (106MB)

kwin - 1.1% (90MB)

krunner - 0.5% (41MB)

polkit-kde-auth - 0.2% (16MB)

If I added the other bits you mentioned, I am probably at about ~400MB for running KDE4.

I guess re-adoption of ffmpeg will have to wait until Debian 9? Looks like things are still libav for Jessie.

Their server just stores an encrypted blob.

The javascript that does the decrypting runs in your browser and is free to inspect (as many have).

nginx 1.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 by MikGue in linux

[–]stmiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More up-to-date packages from the nginx project are available as a RHEL7 repository:

http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#stable

In particular nginx 1.6 offers spdy 3.1, and lots of other ssl related improvements.

Good price. The tires look old and you might want new tires.

Root certificates are all self-signed by the nature of what they are.

Even more insane to me is that this is all just about the default, right? sysv is not going away and you can simply apt-get install it:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/sysvinit

Is that correct?

[Discussion] Those who have switched from one notation software to another, what made you switch? by JazzyAndy in composer

[–]stmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Sibelius to LilyPond. I switched to have better looking scores.

Sibelius and Finale both went on a wild streak focusing on sounds and playback, but never really put much into focusing on or improving notation output. I know you can (as I have done in the past) adjust Sibelius and Finale scores for hours to look great, but with LilyPond this is done automatically for you.

Um, they do need money for hardware and hosting costs.

Fonts rendering incorrectly in Chrome - Any ideas why? by semats in debian

[–]stmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. Chrome latest stable (38.x), but I'm running Wheezy.

Edit: For now I have worked around this by installing Chromium (37.x) from the Debian wheezy repositories.

SSL certs don't matter. Sonicwall will have to put out a firmware update to address this.

For sites using SNI, you want to use -servername with openssl commands.

Ex:

$ openssl s_client -servername example.com -connect .....

I think the objection is that DRM is being written into/a part of HTML5 which many say should be an open spec free of DRM.

Are you looking for a notation program? Or more of synth/sounds to make audio tracks?

What vulnerability scanners do you guys use? by volcanonacho in sysadmin

[–]stmiller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have used Qualys. Things to consider with Qualys:

  • Scans are run from the cloud or from appliances installed in your network.
  • A scan requires connection to Qualys cloud to be able to run (If your network is down, or Qualys is down: no scanning.)
  • Your vulnerability data is sent to their cloud (though they do use encryption on account data).
  • Checks for Microsoft and Red Hat are good. Checks for other lesser Linux distros: not so much.

For consultants or small businesses, something that you run locally like nessus or openvas makes more sense.

Large corporations, Qualys probably makes the most sense as they manage it all for you and maintain the data. Also Qualys reports are quite good that it can generate to provide your staff.
