Every time I do a clean install, I lose Sun's blankety-blank java. There's enough time between installs that I always forget what I did. Thanks for this short and sweet reminder! Worked perfectly.

This time, I wrote it down. Now, watch. Next time they'll come up with a different method.

Daniel Lange: Updated Greasemonkey script for Xing

nospam@example.com (Daniel Lange) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:40:49 +0200

Wer da klickt weiß Xing durch die Session.

Die Dinge hinter dem Namen sind eine Kodierung welche Art Link Du geklickt hast.
Name/N7.* steht z.B. für "Besucher meines Profils", Name/N43.* für einen Klick innerhalb "Neues aus meinem Netzwerk". Interessanter ist Name/N1.1.2.*, N1 steht für "Suche" und "1" für "Vorname", "2" für Nachname usw. "12" bedeutet z.B. eine Suche über Inhalte im "Person sucht"-Feld.
Wonach der Aufrufende gesucht hat, wird "Premium-Mitgliedern" so dann angezeigt.
Wenn Du die URL-Elemente nach dem Namen löschst, sieht der Angeklickte nur noch, dass Du auf seiner Seite warst, aber nicht mehr woher Du gekommen bist.

Hey, kannst Du evtl auch ein Script schreiben, dass die Xing Profillinks anonymisiert? Ok, ich schaue auch gerne wer von wo aus auf mein Profil zugreift, aber das muss ja nicht heißen, dass man das machen muss. Die Links haben meist das Format xing.xom/Name/irgendeine_Id. Letzteres sollte durch entfernen das Problem lösen können.

Darkstar: Fix Umlauts in the XFCE Terminal

Quite helpful post. However, on my XUbuntu installation, I couldn't set the locale to anything else than "C". Solution? I didn't have any locales installed. After installing DE, EN and JA locales I could finally set up everything in /etc/environment. Together with my 2-hour quest to get scim+anthy working this finally made my day!

Thanks for this post

Thanks!! After a bit of editing (removing everything above 225) it also worked a lot better on my Ubuntu (client) -> OpenSolaris (server) connection.

Daniel Lange: Multiple Apache VHosts on the same IP and port

nospam@example.com (Daniel Lange) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:05:00 +0200

Huh? Not everything that is insecure is automatically also easily exploitable. SNI lowers the barrier in certain setups. Also the SNI implementation can be buggy and thus provide another attack vector, see this Apache bug .

nospam@example.com (addicted) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:05:22 +0200

You do realize that "because something was not setup secure in the first place, SNI enables new ways for attackers" is not a valid argument, and also not even true. Let's see what's needed here: To get access to the intranet site via the external IP address, one would have to now the internal site's name and the external (public) ip address of the webserver. Entering this information in one systems hosts file, everyone would easily be able to contact the intranet site. Now, where did I use TLS/SSL or SNI? Right, nowhere. Because that has nothing to do with it. Meaning: If the setup is not secure in the first place, it won't be secure after SNI. Not a big surprise for me.

Now I got it, thank you! In Arch Linux I just had to add de_DE.utf8 in /etc/environement.. Now the whole xfce Desktop is in German (I don't really care if it's english or german) and I can properly use umlauts!

Thank you
