Look at rfduino.com for a tiny complete board with an ARM processor, Arduino sketch compatibility, and built-in bluetooth.

I wonder if it will affect subscription services that only sell the info privately.  If not, that doesn't seem good.

Lots of http (unencrypted) pages in the web site, but the login cookie is not marked secure, and you have to log in to get to several of the unencrypted pages (address list and so on).  That means the cookie can be intercepted, and also the site itself can be spoofed, letting MITM replaces the...

I remember thinking it might be feasible to tunnel the VNC to another VPS on the same host node (or at least at the same host, on the same local network switch) as the one you were rebooting.  The traffic might have to go unencrypted on a small LAN segment at the host DC, but wouldn't go over...

I understand that the info is useful and that it should be posted someplace.  I understand that I might want to refer to it if I were considering signing up with a host.  It's very worthwhile to maintain it someplace that it can be easily found.  What I don't see as useful is notifying all...

Well, my idea was to avoid getting notifications unless someone had something new to say the thread.  Otherwise if you just wanted to check the status, you'd look in the thread.  Do you really need to be notified every month that something is working uneventfully the way it's supposed to?  I can...

In this case how about putting all the updates in one post, editing it from time to time?

Shoot at low ISOs for low noise.  Use long shutter speeds to get enough exposure at the low ISO.  Use a solid tripod to prevent camera shake from blurring the long exposure.  Forgot to add: use a remote shutter release (many cameras come with an infrared one) to take the picture so you don't...

If you're talking about multiple sites with multiple domains, it may be simplest to create your own CA and install the CA root in your browser.  There is a very crude CA.pl script in the openssl distro that does this, and some fancier scripts floating around the internet.  I remember messing...

You could try some software noise reduction on the dsc-t90 pictures.  You'll lose some resolution but the pics will seem cleaner if you don't look too closely.

1. Get a camera with a big sensor (so-called mirrorless interchangeable lens camera or a DSLR) if you can afford one, with a fast prime lens if possible.  They're not as cheap as compact cameras but they're not insanely expensive any more... they start around 250-300 usd. 2. You can be ok with...

I'm creeped out by this ARIN database.  It seems like a sure thing that the NSA has got a copy of the database, giving them a mapping between IP's and user names for the whole IPv4 VPS user population among other things.  Of course they could get the info for specific addresses before, but it...

EV seems a little more serious from my perspective, as did SGC back in the day.  "Site seals" by comparison have always seemed like a complete crock.  By transcluding code or content from a 3rd party server, they are more likely to introduce insecurity than supply any credible assurances.  I'd...

I think flash is one of those things like disco music that we just try to pretend never existed nowadays.

You may be able to get ipv6 addresses in larger quantities than ipv4 addresses.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that Thawte document.  What I'm not sure of is whether Comodo supports OCSP at all, at least with their cheap certificates.  I'll see if I can figure it out.

I've had a couple of OVH dedis and one OVH VPS, all in Canada, purchased through ovh.us.  They work, they're cheap, network performance is fine, support isn't the greatest but it's not as bad as some people say.  In the past they had a reputation for shutting down customers at the slightest...

Oh I see, yeah, I've never understood how a site seal does any good, so I've never cared about using one.  So I did the right thing, getting the certificate with no seal.   I'm more interested in OCSP and OCSP stapling--do you know if those very cheap certificates support it?

I've never been able to figure out the difference between Essential SSL and Positive SSL.  I have Positive SSL and it's been working fine as far as I know.  I do see 1-year Positive SSL certificates for $5 at some places.  I bought a 5-year one to avoid renewal hassles and luckily was using a...
