Debian 7.0 “wheezy” was officially released about a week ago. I’ve been running it on a couple of systems for a few months already because of the more recent software versions available on it. Today I upgraded one of the shell servers, a couple of days ahead of the originally posted schedule due to security updates to MySQL (DSA-2667). As usual for Debian, the upgrade process is well documented¹ and robust. However, here are some notes for upgrading the next instance. (more…)

VR-junaverkko blocks most outgoing ports, which is a repeating source of annoyance when traveling. I would think that a traffic shaping approach would be more effective, but maybe I don’t have a sufficient understanding of their bandwith limitations. (more…)

Content management systems are being targeted by brute-force password attacks. Improve the security of your self-hosted WordPress blog by installing the Google Authenticator plugin. (more…)

Turns out one has to turn off File Vault to resize the underlying partition. However, resizing does not work when running off of the recovery partition (which you might be doing to run fsck on the primary partition). (more…)

Ainekset:

• 3½ dl vehnäjauhoja
• 2½ dl grahamjauhoja
• 1 tl ruokasoodaa
• 1½ tl leivinjauhetta
• 3 tl muscovado-sokeria
• 3 dl rasvaista piimää

Valmistus:

1. Kytke uuni päälle, 200ºC.
2. Mittaa kuivat ainekset kulhoon.
3. Sekoita sokeri huolellisesti jauhoihin niin, ettei sitä jää kokkareiksi.
4. Lisää piimä ja sekoita kunnes kaikki jauhot ovat taikinassa.
5. Vaivaa taikina kevyesti tasaiseksi jauhotetulla alustalla.
6. Muotoile taikinasta n. 4 cm korkea limppu leivinpaperin päälle.
7. Tee limppuun leipäveitsen tylsällä syrjällä syvä ristikuvio.
8. Paista n. 45 minuuttia. Kypsä leipä kuulostaa koputettaessa ontolta.
9. Jäähdytä ritilällä. Jos haluat pehmeämmän kuoren, jäähdytä pyyhkeen alla.

SIP appears to be broken in the Asterisk 1.6 packages released to address DSA-2550. I resorted to a hasty upgrade to Asterisk 1.8 from backports. (more…)
