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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

(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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A few hours ago Nine Inch Nails, the main artistic project of Trent Reznor, released a new album titled “Ghosts I-IV” under a Creative Commons license (source) that allows non-commercial copying and derivative works. A part of the album is available as a free download on nin.com and the band has themselves distributed the package [...]
