I wonder how many breaches never see the light of day.
Quite late but at least confirmed, VeriSign was hacked and they don t even know what was the impact of this attack.
Comodo, DigiNotar, Verisign did I forget some company which CA/SSL infrastructure has been compromised?
It s only me that is being annoyed by downloading all recommended packages?someserver:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02recommends APT::Install-Recommends "0"; someserver:~#
Well I thought it s going to be more user friendly and flawless.
I ve just tried to install Wheezy on my Asus UX31e. It was possible, but no without some glitches.
First of all this is screen with question what software I would like to use. Well I chose only the latest option. Guess why. Hacker s demo shows how easily credit cards can be read through clothes and wallets.
Doh.. I thought it s end of problems. Since all problems related to Zenbook (Asus UX31e) under Linux can be solved without using the bleeding edge kernel and rest of the stuff, I m going to end my short adventure with ArchLinux.
Basically I have nothing against ArchLinux. Seems to be quite good choice for someone more experienced, but assuming I m able to use new laptop under Debian then learning new options of pacman or yaourt is useless for me.
Even such short adventure with ArchLinux ended up with my own PKGBUILDs for this distro 
Anyway. Goodbye Arch, welcome Debian unstable. Tomorrow I m going to reinstall to Debian. This time Windows 7 will be removed too.
Some guy on Ubuntu forum described a solution to fix sudden shutdowns on Asus UX31e with enabled RC6 under Linux.
Can t believe its almost 7 years since my first sponsored upload of Dibbler to Debian archive. I did it cause upstream promised to maintain it and fix any bugs submitted by Debian users. Unfortunately after 3-4 years he stopped to do it. Well since I was the sponsor of it, then I should feel responsible for these packages after him. It s quite hard to do it, cause I m not using these packages at all
Anyway, I finally found some time and reviewed them. It wasn t easy cause in the meantime whole build process totally changed.
To whom it may concern: Dibbler is an IPv6 DHCP client, relay and server.
I ve just uploaded the newest upstream version.
Changelog follows:
dibbler (0.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* ACK previous NMUes thanks! With the latest changes in driver for Sentelic touchpad I m eventually able to use two-finger scrolling, and disable touchpad while typing.
Middle-button emulation and on pad click & drag doesn t work yet, though. Edge scrolling either.
Anyway it starts to be really usable and there is some progress to merge this driver with mainline kernel.
I believe last time I was compiling kernel was around 2.4.18 and only because at that time I was maintaining router for some network and needed some special iptables extensions. Happily it hasn t changed too much since then and I can compile 3.2.1 without problem
Wow that s really big demonstration.
I really like it.
I ve just uploaded new version of sshfs package.
Here goes changelog:
sshfs-fuse (2.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version. (Closes: #636357)
Evgeni Golov you re not the coolest fanboy.
I ve got this
And it s made by my girlfriend as a christmas gift. Also hand-made.
Judge this
Finally found some spare time to refresh my packages. Here are first results, new version of calcurse.
Repackaged, using Guilt as a source format, DEP-5 for copyrights, bumped policy I thought it s going to be an easy task.
lintian told me it s not so easy I have to review all my packages, bump their stadards policy, comply with DEP-5, use new quilt format and so on
That s not an easy task with more than twenty packages.
Yeah I know it s not requirenment, but still want to do that.
Probably most of you already heard about weakness in Wifi Protected Setup discovered recently.airmon-ng start wlan0Then start attack:
reaver -i mon0 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -vvOf course name of interfaces may differ as their depend on your wifi driver. After -b switch you have to enter BSSID of the target AP. That s all. Happy ha^Wcracking
I wonder if it really enter Debian archive, cause it s shipped with several libraries already included in Debian. Mainly Linux Wireless Extensions library, and some part of wpa-supplicant package (this are at least slightly modified).
In fact there are chances that reaver will became the part of the aircrack-ng suite (they discuss it already), but that won t happen soon, so it still would be great to have this package in Debian.
I would really like to avoid publishing this post but I don t know how to check Debian Planet s aggregation otherwise, so forgive me. I would really like to avoid publishing this post but I don t know how to check Debian Planet s aggregation otherwise, so forgive me.
Bartosz, it's interesting to see
that "right wing" seems to have different definitions for both of us, and
probably in both our countries...:-)
So far, the definition of M. Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz party "Law and
Justice" (I think this is the right translation of PiS...in French, we use
"Droit et Justice") would classify it as "conservative" for me...and thus
eligible for being called "right wing".
Anyway, we both agree that political orientations in Poland really suck. I
really would have hated seeing someone like Roman Giertych, head of the "Polish
Families League", ultra-catholic party, be in some change in my country (we
have a very similar political man named "Philippe de Villiers", here).
Worse is the nomination of Andrzej Lepper who probably represents the most
hideous aspects of populism.
I think that such step is more or less impossible to avoid, unfortunately.
And I stay confident that your country, as well as all recent EU members
from Central Europe, will soon overcome this. Don't emigrate: you have to
change your country from the inside...:)
Next.
