The problem is that the UX on the browsers for using client certificates is horrible.

Check_mk is not a nagios/icinga fork, it's an addon that works with them. It's a host agent (like NRPE) that bundles all the local checks in a single run and submits them on Nagios as a passive check.

Unless you automatically restart every service that is linked with a library when you update it, you are still vulnerable.

It doesnt't. There's the needsrestart package that does this though.

It's not at all strange. Security updates to publicly-facing services should be applied as fast as possible. Kernel vulnerabilities are a whole different attack surface

There is nothing to patch on the server side. You need to ensure the ssh client is updated on the machines you are sshing from.

We use twisted-vncauthproxy[1] to open a noVNC console from the UI to speak with the VNC port that each KVM is running on. Before that we used a Java applet with a similar vnc proxy software.

Re:Firefox Bugzilla: Remove Pocket Integration
on Saturday June 06, 2015 @09:30AM (#9670727)
This is not about bloat. Mozilla was already developing read-it-later functionality for Firefox. In fact it's already on mobile versions. Hello and Pocket have almost no overhead because they are just APi calls to external services. This is about Mozilla endorsing thrid-party proprietary services.

Yup, cause apparenlty staying the same for 25 years is the new normal.

Browsers don't natively handle .flv files, they hand off the file to the flash plugin. If you try that with files the browser can handle (.mp4 videos, .mp3 music, .png images, etc.) you'll see that it works fine.

There is a kernel-lts packages that doesn't update as often, so you won't need to recompile every time.
Re:Nginx Is Taking Over the Internet

But Nginx is not running the PHP code, whatever the application daemon on the background does. Nginx simply proxies to it. Apache can get similar performance if you offload PHP and not use the mod_php.

There's nothing ironic about that. Due to it's open nature (i.e. anyone can manufacture an android device that runs whichever version of the os he likes) there is fragmentations. Just like the different linux distros...

This work only if you have search autosuggest on, which basically send everything you type in the address bar (includeing urls) to google.
Any recommendations? I have read both Animal Farm and 1984 but I thought the rest of his work wasn't really noteworthy.
Re:I feel like Gmail went from being Photoshop to Draw Something
on Saturday May 04, 2013 @06:13AM (#5654617)
This is false.
Not only Tab doesn't automatically send the email but Google has not overwrittern anything. This is the default behaviour on a web page. Pressing Tab selects the next interactive element on a web page (a link, form elemnts etc.) and pressing space/enter activates it.
I'm guessing you press tab expecting to indent something, write a word and then press space to begin the next one which actually sends the message.
This is how forms on a webpage work and AFAIR this is how the compose function in gmail always worked. I think i have seen a couple of WYSIWYG text editors that "capture" the tab keypress and actually ident the text but this is far from the norm.
