    I saw something peculiar the other day. Hallucination? The microsoft.com domain was serving up 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.1 as A records in a 7 address round robin.

    That’s a spooky reminder to check your rebinding setup — that is, if you’re playing with fire ().

    For example, unbound with private-address and private-domain. Then test if DNS rebinding is possible.

    Are the caches warmed up? vmtouch and fincore are two useful programs.

    What do they do? Basically, one can peek at what’s been cached into memory. I somehow ended up re–looking into this today. The Linux kernel is intelligent.

    Many fortnights ago, I foolishly thought writing a theme from scratch would be easy. It was mostly unlike GTK2. About 40 minutes in came a horrifying realization: there’s fundamentally (and definitively) no way to write a consistent theme that works reliably with every application. The minor upside was a working (and somewhat accessible) wireframe theme and a basic understanding of debugging. The end.
