  • Belgian banks & SSL — part 3

    EDIT: ING is now A- (not reflected in this blog post). EDIT 2: Keytrade & Hello Bank also went to A. I’ll post a new blog post later tonight. EDIT 3: Updated post here. Part three, or how I single-handedly “fixed” SSL at the Belgian banks. 😉 Part one and two are available here. Not related…

  • Courier IMAP and auto deleting trash after 7 days

    E-mails that had been deleted for over 7 days were automatically removed from the IMAP server. E-mail date was ignored (ie the mail could have been from 2010; the actual time in “Trash” counted). This didn’t happen to other folders (Sent, Archive, Spam). This recently happened and hadn’t happened before. I had to restore my…

  • Belgian banks & SSL — part 2

    I previously wrote about Belgian banks & SSL. Updated version (15/02/2015) here. Going through my Google Analytics I noticed some noteworthy network domains, which Google discribes as “The fully qualified domain names of your visitors’ Internet service providers (ISPs)”. There are a few more (Belgian) government institutions and universities, and the top in the list are “(not…

  • Updated @Flightradar24 Ansible cookbook

    I had to wait a little while for the ARMv7 version for my EfikaMX devices, but they finally had time to compile it. Yay! The updated cookbooks are on Github. Changes (commits): Better key management fr24feed.ini No more separate dump1090 launch newest fr24 version Download links for Linux & RPi.

  • Belgian banks & SSL

    Tested using SSL Labs on 20/01/2015. Updated version 01/02/2015 here and 15/02/2015 here. Only providing the weak points. Once there is one SHA1 key in the chain, I will report everything as weak. Check SSL Labs for a full report, including what they actually did good (if anything). Grade A Rabobank (A+): no known issues. Support for HTTP…

  • Theme

    I had the same theme for over four years. I’ve made quite a few custom css and PHP edits myself, and it had been outdated for ages… But it served me well. However, it’s now time for something new. As always, as minimalistic as possible. On a side note, this blog has been moved from…

  • @Flightradar24 Ansible playbook

    Here’s my very simple Ansible playbook for Flightradar24 nodes. While I run it on EfikaMX, it should work on most Debian based devices. Just be sure to modify the FR24 software download URL. This Ansible playbook is untested on its own. It comes out of a way bigger (private) Ansible playbook, and I kind of…

  • Raspberry Pi & @Flightradar24

    In a couple of lines: how to get FR24 (+ dump1090) to work on your Raspberry Pi. Be sure to have the right hardware: flightradar24.com/dvbt-stick and … obviously … a RPi. I got a NooElec from Amazon because I didn’t have the patience to wait for something (that might not work) from AliExpress. As root: apt-get update…

  • Gmail (& Google Apps) & IPv6

    It seems that Google’s anti spam measurement for IPv6 is basically checking if the IP has a reverse DNS. If not, reject the e-mail: This is the mail system at host rootspirit.com. I’m sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It’s attached below. For…
