My #efail response: someone finally made an irrefutable case against HTML email. It’s about damn time.

I absolutely love Request Framework. Well written, full of useful features, excellent documentation. Paired with Django Oauth Toolkit it is an awesome API building package. Highly recommended!

Apparently they added STS after the attack. Sigh.

I see a strict-transport-security HTTP header in the response from myetherwallet.com/ so how did users manage to click through the selfsigned certificate? To my knowledge browsers do not allow this (which is the whole point of STS)?

CAs should require DNSSEC to be enabled on domains before issuing domain-validated certificates.

I played violent video games since I was a little kid. Mortal Kombat, Carmageddon, GTA, Blood, Soldier of Fortune - you name it, I played it.

Never felt aggressive after doing that, don't ban violent video games.

Ban #javascript, one evening of it and I want to do unspeakable things to people.

Came home late last night to find my FreeBSD Fitlet home router/fw hardware had died on me :(

Fortunately I had an APU2c4 with FreeBSD 11 from when I wrote blog.tyk.nu/blog/freebsd-o… which I was able to configure in 30 minutes flat, from blank to working GW.

This ncluded sniffing out the correct vlan numbers, configuring link aggregation with lagg(4), mounting the encrypted USB disks and such. Oh, and fighting the ISP webinterface to assign my static IP to the new mac.

Gotta love <3

Ansible is basically executable documentation <3

I blogged about and SYSV IPC. It covers tuning, jails and other sysadmin things: blog.tyk.nu/blog/freebsd-jails

Is ip.tyk.nu blocked by your companys DNS filter as a malware related domain? If yes, what software/service are you using? Thanks

RFC7858 (DNS-over-TLS) has been updated by RFC8310 with more detailed instructions on authentication methods and such. Good stuff. rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8310.txt
