I tried to catch an Uber ride from Heathrow before, and it was a total nightmare in terms of not knowing where to go, having come out of the wrong exit, and the driver ending up in a car park. Really, the airports benefit from allowing them too, as they reduce traffic congestion and the number of confused people milling around looking for where their ride is...
Literally laughed out loud. It's just become too much of a joke now.
* you need to use a new proprietary tool to interact with them
* all scripts relating to logs are now broken
* binary logs are easy to corrupt, e.g. if they didn't get closed properly.
>You can have a binary index and text logs too! / You can. But what's the point?
The point is having human-readable logs without having to use a proprietary piece of crap to read them. A binary index would actually be a perfect solution - if you're worried about the extra space readable logs take, just .gz/.bz2 them; on decent hardware, the performance penalty for reading is almost nonexistent.
If you generate 100GB/day, you should be feeding them into logstash and using elasticsearch to go through them (or use splunk if $money > $sense), not keeping them as files. Grepping logs can't do all the stuff the author wants anyway, but existing tools can, that are compatible with rsyslog, meaning there is no need for the monstrosity that is systemd.
Of course, it's only worked some of the time it's been done, I guess.
That said, Jodrell Bank is a very interesting place. Good article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/25/geeks_guide_jodrell_...
The Royal Navy still does this today though.
I would only ever use agent forwarding to a trusted host exactly because of what it does - put a socket on that host that responds with your SSH key... Anyone on that host with root has access to your key.
They can. That's why they require your PIN every N tries (N is configurable by the issuer, I think). All the money spent up to and until N is reached is just lost though, I guess.
This is why I have an RFID-blocking wallet.
Always remember: "Internet Of Things is also called IOT, because you'd have to be an IDIOT to believe they're secure".
I have one from http://difrwear.com/; I've tested it and it's never leaked any signal from cards inside; should work fine with keys too.
This is why I despair at all these new keyless cars. I would pay money to have a normal key over one of those, because it's more secure.
Also, one huge reason I would never want a keyless car: I can't check if it's locked before I walk off; I just have to trust that it will lock once I'm far enough away and before someone else jumps into it and drives off.
I'm amazed anyone ever chooses to live somewhere that precarious, and that their first thought is "well, we'll get a lot of time to evacuate" - sure, but you've still lost your home, anything you didn't take with you, possibly your job, and have to now find somewhere else to live and completely change your life. I guess for some people that wouldn't be so hard, but I could never do it.
2. set -e
3. type an invalid command or run one that returns non-zero
4. "crap, where did my shell go?"
It looks like a bug in the init script; runnign it as squid's user wouldn't have triggered destroying the whole filesystem; likely just squid's config and anything under its /var.
