    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.

    Rule #1 of finding technical feeds; type ‘OPML’ into GitHub search. GitHub is like a social network for software engineers and I’m a conservationist of time.

    Are you a safe kid? I’ve just had a memory of a past time in a library.

    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.

    Not everyone’s tech savvy. But… it’s interesting that deeper discussions around the objectionable nature of A/B testing are never had in these kind of journalistic articles.

    Nothing beats plausibly deniable per device phenomena, dynamic article titles, and/or personalized content — the ole slow motion divide and conquer (they saw it, we didn’t).

    That article caught my eye because my Internet speed is rotten enough that I’d have never known.

    An actual but where did my Linux memory go command;
    This program (repositories) came in handy while helping someone resolve an problem. Want to see memory usage and shared memory, perhaps sorted by swap?

    shell
    smem -s swap -kta
    smem --sort swap --abbreviate --totals --autosize
    What about on other categories running a --sort?
    text
    swap     (amount of swap space consumed ignoring sharing)
    command  (process command line)
    maps     (total mappings count)
    name     (process name)
    pid      (process id #)
    user     (process owner)
    pss      (proportional set size including sharing)
    rss      (resident set size ignoring sharing)
    uss      (unique set size)
    vss      (virtual set size; total virtual memory mapped)
    Bonus: A filesystem usage command to catch /tmp/ and tmpfs (temporary file storage) abusers;
    shell
    df -h | grep tmpfs
    df --human-readable | grep tmpfs

    The miracle man section of this article is nostalgic. The simplicity of scamming (dividing email lists by two recursively) reminded me somewhat of how I was taught to think about the underlying simplicity of critical thinking, which apparently is a meme nowadays.
