Some potential anti-virus and -malware tools for OpenSuSE Tumbleweed

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/31

I could not find many potential anti-virus and -malware tools for OpenSuSE Tumbleweed despite they would be useful not only for non-Linux clients like Windows and Mac OS X.

These I found:

rsync z-lib compression segmentation fault? WTF!

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/27

Not sure why without the -z compression switch this succeeds:

# rsync -avloz /var/lib/named/master/ /etc/named/master/
sending incremental file list

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

There is a way to convert ‘array of const’ (open array) to TValue: Asbjørn Heid found one.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/27

Brilliant solution by Asbjørn Heid:

So the solution I came up with is to use the observation that the “array of const” is “array of TVarRec”, and that “array of TVarRec” is passed as as two arguments: a pointer to the data and the length of the array (or rather, the highest index in the array).

SMS sending with Mikrotik RouterOS and a capabable USB device

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/27

Some links that were useful getting the SMS sending stuff to work.

The documentation is clear on what to do to send/receive SMS:

But it is unclear what USB hardware does work, so here are some links:

You can also do it the other way around:

HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete…

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/26

HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete and syntax highlighting. Download url -> https://github.com/eliangcs/http-prompt – Joe C. Hecht – Google+

Source: HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete… [WayBack]

To me it looks remarkably similar to https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie [WayBack] which too is a visual cURL replacement.

Seems I need to say good bye to Bitbucket: no explanation of which limit I exceeded and by how much.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/26

Seems I need to say good bye to Bitbucket: while creating a new repository without changing any user aspects, I got this nice message at https://bitbucket.org/repo/create which does not explain which limit I reached:

You've exceeded your user limit, restricting all your repositories to read-only access. Change your plan to restore write access. Learn more

You’ve exceeded your user limit, restricting all your repositories to read-only access. Change your plan to restore write access. Learn more

Later I found that https://bitbucket.org/account/user/jeroenp/plans-and-billing/ lists I’m within the free plan:
