QuickDNS vs GratisDNS



Blog modernization

I got tired of the limited options I had with nanoblogger, so I've migrated to Drupal.

I hope I didn't break peoples feed in the process.

Firefox AutoPager

Why did nobody tell me about AutoPager until now?

Barbering - en oplevelse?

Jeg har gennem længere tid ikke været helt tilfreds med min huds tilstand når jeg har barberet mig med min gode gamle Mach 3.

Som enhver god nørd valgte jeg selvfølgelig at google lidt om emnet. Efter at have set en bunke YouTube-video'er (ja, om barbering; de findes!) besluttede jeg mig for at kaste mig ud i det helt store udstyrscirkus.

Jeg anskaffede mig en barberbørste af grævlingehår, en Merkur Progress skraber og noget barbercreme på tube, after shave balsam og pre-shave creme fra Proraso.

Vågn op DR!

Nordmændene er foran.

"Randomize all source ports"

Admitted, I haven't spent a huge amount of time doing DNS stuff, but I
believe that I know a bit about it.

In his slides about hardening the .dk infrastructure to Kaminsky-style
attacks, Ram Mohan had the following as a bullet point: "Randomize all source
ports for DNS responses".

While I don't disagree, that source port randomization for queries
makes a lot of sense, how in the world would it do anything for responses?

Firstly, it wouldn't work, since the recursive resolver expects the response
to come from the server/port it requested it from, and that means port 53.
