  • 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 I’ve made quite a few custom css and PHP edits myself, and it had been outdated for ages… But it served me well.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…

  • Wheezy Xen Dom0 & RAM

    Note to self: <1Gb of RAM on a Dom0 Wheezy server causes kernel panics. Using 2Gb of RAM seems to do the trick.

  • Deleting big files from your git history

    I committed a couple of big binary files, which eventually really slowed down Git. Unchanged: This is how you find them, and delete them: Script (will show top 10 biggest files): And then: Elsewhere, you’ll need to rebase:

  • Auto turn on a Linux Mac Mini after a power outage

    Mainly a note for myself, in case I need it again in the future. And the original blog post is here. This will turn on a Mac Mini (at least PowerPC arch, not sure about Intel), running Linux, the moment it has power again. echo ‘server_mode=1’ > /proc/pmu/options Edit & Note: This option seems to be…
