I’m going to need to spend some more time with LXC and vagrant. Had a former coworker who did quite a bit in vagrant and it sounded interesting, but seeing the tie between Vagrant and LXC… I’ve just got to “get it” better.

Nice, functional root page for the US Cellular (USCC) Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970. Haven’t checked into it much to see what flags it sets, but the instructions seem to work well, and ChainFire has been around long enough I consider them fairly reputable.

I had looked this (or something like it) up not that long ago as I wanted to do some VLAN trunking through my Asus RT-N16, and I managed to lose it before getting it implemented. It took a little bit of digging, but I think this got me back to a good starting point at least.
My plan is to trunk several networks from my basement up to a manged switch upstairs, from which I will support a second WAN router for a test network as well as an internal 5GHz wireless network , and possibly some additional internal segmented networks. I have quite some distance to go to accomplish this yet, but at least now I have the base reference to the physical/internal port mappings again. That’s an hour and a half I won’t have to spend next time.
Interesting build. I have traditionally looked at Devil Linux in the past for firewall applications, but this may be another to check out.
A relative recently had a problem with his computer, where any links he clicked from email messages in Outlook popped up the browser, but always to a “Smart Web Search” page. When I initially heard of it, Google Chrome was getting the blame for the problem, but I was pretty sure it was just an issue with some crapware. After he took it to someone in the Milwaukee area who charged $90 for claiming to fix it but did absolutely nothing towards taking care of the problem, I finally managed to get some time carved out to address it. Thankfully I could remotely access the system via UltraVNC and see the problem, and it only took about five minutes to figure it out and get it corrected. This link was the first I clicked when researching the problem, and disabling (and removing) the “Smart Web Search” crapware extension quickly got things back to normal.
I set up Simple Invoices this evening for some basic billing I need to do (and automate). Pretty straightforward for the basic part. I did discover that there was a bug for the recurring invoicing that was reported as fixed, but apparently still exists. Fairly simple fix – assuming your “simpleinvoices” install is in /var/www/simpleinvoices, run:
vim /var/www/simpleinvoices/include/class/cron.php
Issue a “:117” (followed by enter) in vim, then add a closing quote to the line referenced in the link above.
Still working on my invoicing emails, as I don’t run a mail server on the host I run the service on, and need to get it set up to send messages through my gmail – or actually configure a basic mail server. Will see what works the best.

Linux has finally achieved enough market penetration to be worthwhile to attack. Not desktop market penetration per se, but market penetration nonetheless. The particular platforms where it can be found with relative frequency fundamentally contribute to the reasons the attacks are successful – they are home user devices that aren’t likely to be updated. I surmise that within the next three to five years, we’ll see a tipping point where many of these network devices will default to automatically update themselves in much the same manner our operating systems, browsers, and many applications in both the mobile and desktop realm do today.
