How exactly is one vulnerable to this? Do I need to have some sort of CGI script that explicitly uses environment variables in its equivalent of an exec()?

The tradeoff is minimal in just about everything I've ever written. I usually end up with maybe 3 SELECTs for every INSERT.

I have exim4 installed just in case we need to send outgoing mail from a Wordpress contact form or something, but for the most part its 100% Mandrill and Google Apps for things that I care about. If I had any idea what I was doing when it came to mail I'd be more likely to most it myself, but...

I'm just curious how it all works. Luckily I've already put together a few somewhat large pieces of software for work and on my own time and have pretty much been programming nonstop for 2 years now, so I guess I'm already better off than some of the established giants, but when it comes to...

I already have a working knowledge of everything but the PHP/whatever language I'm using -> bash/running actual shell commands part. I've only screwed around with this in Perl, but logging in as another user -from- a Perl script is pretty much impossible if you're aren't running the original...

I'm more interested in where to start with a control panel. I feel like it would have to run as root to be able to do anything at all. How would one go about putting something like this together without it being a massive security risk? Not only would the script have root access, but there'd be...

This is actually pretty simple if you have sudo access. Just have a script generate nginx vhost config files for each subdomain in a directory you have permission to write to, edit your sudoers so that whatever account the script is running as can reload nginx with a password (or without if...

Threw in support for downloading single videos since youtube-dl won't grab the highest quality video by default if its available in anything higher than 720p. Not a huge deal, but it's one command compared to 2 or 3 in youtube-dl on its own.

Kinda. It downloads whatever they post while the script is running.

Just threw this together this morning to replace a .NET YouTube subscription auto-downloader that I haphazardly hacked together 2 years ago. http://onlinebargainshrimptoyourdoor.com/2014/03/01/introducing-subbuddy-py/ https://github.com/marlencrabapple/SubBuddy-py Its a little rough around...

It gets worse when you realize that this kind of attitude isn't just limited to idiot VPS providers, but to most of the world. I got a job doing Wordpress development for some guys that did lawyer marketing, and just about EVERY client they had was running a two year old version of wordpress on...

Just saw ads for them on Youtube of all places.

Its not a matter of or. You'll be forced to use PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc., for the backend.

What's the best way to vertically align text elements relative to each other? For example, how would I properly vertically center navigation links with a text heading? Obviously I could screw around with margins and padding, but fiddling at random isn't the best solution.

I tried to put together a minimal "flat" design like that a few weeks ago and ended up with a terrible web 1.0 esque nightmare. No idea how I screwed it up so badly. The worst part is the problem is purely visual. Markup wise its perfect, so there's nothing OBVIOUS that I can fix, it just looks...

Bought one a while back for ~30% off. Still an awesome deal. By the way, I read something about having to throttle yourself to 100mbps when torrenting with RamNode. Is this still enforced? BuyVM has been fine with 200mbps down for a few minutes every few days, so I'm kinda curious about your...

Never tried this via DNS, but I just recently set up nginx to do something similar with dynamic content. You can tell nginx to use another location directive on an error. I have it set up in case a fastcgi process fails and throws a 502. Instead of displaying the error it just tries again with...

I'm still dreading the day I have to deal with a regular DDOS attack. I can't even imagine having to figure out how to deal with something on this scale.

I just really want to figure out how to get dkim working properly. I don't know how many times I can follow a guide to the letter and screw it up before I give up and rm -rf everything.

Guess I should stop putting off figuring out how to set up dkim with exim4.
