Danske Sampo Pankin uuden verkkopankin Java-crapletti ja mahdolliset XSS-haavoittuvuudet herättävät keskustelua

March 26th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in Finnish, internet, suomeksi, technology

Eilen keskusteltiin mediassa Danske Bankin omistukseen siirtyneen Sampo Pankin uuden verkkosivuston ja pankkijärjestelmän toimimattomuudesta ja mahdollisesta turvattomuudesta.
Tietokone-lehden blogissa ja sen kommentialueesta löytyy kiinnostavia mielipiteitä ja uutta tietoa aiheesta. Suomen perustuslain vastaisen sensuurijärjestelmän kriitikkona tunnetun Matti Nikin eli muzzyn mielestä Sampo Pankin verkkopankki-istunnoissa käytetty Java-crapletti ei ole asiallinen, eikä välttämättä kovin turvallinen ratkaisu, ja näennäistietoturva käytetään [...]

Useful link: RSS feed listing new .fi domains, updated daily

March 24th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, internet, link tips, notes, technology

Reading lists of new .fi domains granted by Ficora is a terrible waste of time for persons whose psyches don’t sort the notion of monitoring Finnish Internet businesses into some internal “fun” folder. I happen to enjoy following stuff like this, which is why this RSS feed with daily updates on new .fi domain registrations [...]

Insändare i HBL 27.2.2008: Felriktad ilska över barnporr

March 21st, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in Swedish, notes, politics, på svenska, works published elsewhere

Följande är en insändare som jag tillsammans med några nära bekanta skickade till Hufvudstadsbladet för omkring månad sedan. Som botten användes en av mina tidigare texter, som förkortades och gjordes sakligare för att passa in i dagstidningsmiljö där brist på spaltutrymme kräver disciplinerade, kortfattade texter befriade från det extra fluff jag tenderar att producera. Texten [...]

March 20th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, notes, politics, video

Facing pressure over anger of a kind hard which is hard to explain to middle class white people, displayed in public by a priest of the church that he attends, Senator Barrack Obama, a potential Sensible Candidate in the upcoming presidential elections is the USA, commented on issues of Race in a recent speech. As [...]

Consolas vs. Terminus – my personal monospaced font war

March 17th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, in Swedish, linux/unix, notes, politics, software, windows

(I hate Courier New)
For some time, I’ve used Dimitar Zhekov’s clean, fixed-width font Terminus for terminal-heavy situations in both GNU/Linux and Windows. I’m clueless in the area of typography, but Terminus looks oddly appealing when looking at e.g. code (which I don’t write myself), configuration and log files. I keep backup copies of a TTF [...]

Why use unsupported server software?

March 17th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, internet, linux/unix, notes, software, technology, web hosting

Late last month, the Debian GNU/Linux project announced that security patch support for the old stable release, 3.1 (codename Sarge), will end on the last day of March. Many people will be using servers, integrated and other special systems with Sarge for a long time to come, without applying any patches, and I’m afraid I’ll [...]

“End” and “Home” keys not working in Putty

March 13th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in English, linux/unix, notes, windows

To cure my boredom, I’m posting an inconclusive fix to an issue (or feature?) I’ve experienced using the PuTTY terminal emulator/SSH client for Microsoft Windows. It’s worth mentioning that PuTTY Tray is the version I prefer – it’s patched to include something that detects URLs and makes them clickable links, a feature frivolously left out [...]

Fortsatt okunnig finsk censurdebatt – audiovisuell hjälp behövs

March 10th, 2008  |  by Thomas Nybergh  |  published in in Swedish, notes, politics, på svenska, technology, video

Gruppen bakom en förhållandevis lyckad demonstration mot finsk internetcensur (sensuuri.info) som ordnades 4.3.2008 ämnar fortsätta sitt arbete för en förändring av lagen som möjliggör de felriktade och farliga censuråtgärderna (Valborgsmarsch diskuteras).
Man har nu gett ut första, lite ofilade och för långa versionen av en kampanjvideo (Youtube-video, flash) som kan beskådas nedan (eller som fristående [...]

NIN releases new album online – FLAC files available!
