[Kinda Spammy] iOS Transit App
by Sean Cody 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hey folks, if you have an iOS device and use Winnipeg Transit I have an app in the store (was approved and put live late last night) that you may find useful. Just search the iOS App Store store for 'WinniBus.' -- Sean (mobile) P.S. Feel free to scold me off list. :P

Dupes
by Kevin McGregor 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Would anyone like to volunteer suggestions for a utility that searches a filesystem for duplicate files? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on my server, and I'm sure I have lots of duplication, which I'd like to get rid of. I'm interested in both CLI and GUI solutions. Kevin

significant SSL certificate screw-up
by Adam Thompson 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

FYI… http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/prg/em/ccirc/2011/av11-025-eng.aspx Basically, Comodo re-issued certificates for several popular web sites to someone posing as Microsoft, as Yahoo, as Google, etc… so there is now a possibility that even if you’ve connected using SSL/TLS ton a site like https://login.live.com, if someone has managed to redirect your browser (using DNS attacks, say), even if you check the SSL certificate and it looks right, it might be not be legitimate anyway. … [View More]

vsftp not connecting
by Kevin McGregor 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Maybe someone can throw in their two cents on this: I installed vsftpd on my Ubuntu 10.04 server, and I set local_enable=YES write_enable=YES When I FTP to the server, I get prompted for a username and password, but it seems to just reject it and ask for username/password again. What else do I need to do? I just want one account to be able to FTP upload files to this server. Kevin

Parallel curl from the command line
by John Lange 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

I have some code (written in PHP) that checks on the status of a single "server" but I need this code to scale up to hundreds of parallel checks. For example, you call the script like this: http://mytest.com/checkserver.php?ip=10.11.12.13 where the ip=X.X.X.X is different every time depending on which server you are checking. And the PHP looks something like this: <?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://".$ip."/status.html"); curl_setopt($ch, … [View More]
