By default, xterm scrolling (with the mouse wheel) doesn’t work with screen. Since screen’s scrollback buffer is so useful (I set mine to 100000 – screen is routinely the largest process on my work machine), wouldn’t it be neat if the mouse wheel scrolled through it instead? It turns out it can, just add the [...]

Well, not really. But if you’re in the tech industry you’ve surely heard about the recently discovered DNS vulnerability, and if you’re the curious type you tried to guess how it might work. Dan Kaminsky had wisely decided to postpone the full disclosure until the Black Hat conference, but it was just a matter of [...]

By far, the most frustrating thing about working at Google is not being able to talk much about the technology we use internally – especially the scale of some of the things we do. I’m really glad to see that Jeff Dean gave an interesting talk at the I/O conference and that, among other things, [...]

What is it with ISP customer support nowadays? Just when I thought that I’ve escaped one set of rude incompetents, my new ISP proves they can’t read, either. Here’s what I wrote them:
I’m a customer of your cable broadband service. I have trouble
reaching a specific IP address from my home computer, even though it

Insightful piece on net neutrality (pretty much sums up my thoughts): The Spam Diaries: Support Net Neutrality.

siqpolicyd just had its first “release”. I originally wrote it for myself (and ran it on NSE’s mail server) but since people started asking about it, I thought I’d make a (minimal) page and a tarball release. Grab it, play with it, break it, let me know :)
