Carmack & Rogan

from Matt Mullenweg [alt+shift+b] in technology

7 months ago
I guess something has changed with the Joe Rogan / Spotify deal and now all the old episodes are on YouTube again, which means the gems from the archives can now pop up. I was alerted to this conversation between Joe Rogan and John Carmack, and it’s pure gold. I know I’m five...

Cannot access Windows guest within VMware Fusion when running vsphere client

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Currently, I am running VMware ESXi 4.1 on a test system. To manage ESXi, you need the VSphere client, which is only available for the Windows platform. Therefore, I run VMware Fusion on my Mac to be able to access VSphere and manage my ESXi host. The trouble is that both ESXi...

CVE-2007-4573: The Anatomy of a Kernel Exploit

from Posts on Made of Bugs [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
CVE-2007-4573 is two years old at this point, but it remains one of my favorite vulnerabilities. It was a local privilege-escalation vulnerability on all x86_64 kernels prior to v2.6.22.7. It’s very simple to understand with a little bit of background, and the exploit is...

'Tip of the day for every Linux or Unix user: brace expantion'

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Searching the web I discovered some really nice feature of the unix shell, which I didn't know about. Try this: touch foobar.conf Now try this: cp foobar.conf{,.bak} It is equivalent to: cp foobar.conf foobar.conf.bak This is also the easiest way to create sequences. Do not use...

TIL: Victory Symbol

from Good Enough [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
We noticed that the victory symbol at the bottom of our homepage looked different in Chrome than Safari––it was playing smart and rendered the unicode character as an emoji. Lettini found a fix though! Append this string of code to the symbol: &#xFE0E;. So &#9996;&#xFE0E; renders...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
