Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” / Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/08

The response to [Wayback/Archive] Daniel Feldman.yaml on Twitter: “What does JIRA stand for? Wrong answers only” were so great!

Just a few that I liked very much:

  • It’s a recursive acronym for “Jira isn’t really agile”
  • Just Issues Rarely Addressed
  • jumbled information, reported arbitrarily
  • Jumping
    Into
    Real
    Agony
  • Just Individual Redtape Actions

Watching “Why is C# Evolving This Way?” strengthened my realisation that the Delphi 12 language by now is light years behind C# 12

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/07

Though after C# 4 (covariance and contravariance) and C# 5 (async/await) the evolvement of C# might have seemed to slow down a bit, the big picture hasn’t as shown in the [Wayback/Archive] Why is C# Evolving This Way? – YouTube video by Zoran Horvat which comes down to:

Yet another reason not to use SMS based 2FA: those phone numbers get leaked or sold as Daniel Cuthbert mentioned on Twitter: “@LinkedIn did indeed sell my 2FA phone number”

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/06

Many recommend against using SMS for 2FA because of security reasons (SIM swapping, sniffing, etc), but there is another privacy+security reason: these 2FA phone numbers get leaked or sold as [Wayback/Archive] Daniel Cuthbert (@dcuthbert) found out the hard way last year:

The Wayback Machine Chrome extension got a big update. Every journalist & researcher should install it ASAP! Faster URL archiving w/ customization, access to yr personal archive, and it tells you if the page you’re on has already been archived, etc.

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/05

Last year I learned about [Wayback/Archive] Wayback Machine – Chrome Web Store via a Twitter thread starting at

[Wayback/Archive] Craig Silverman on Twitter: “The Wayback Machine Chrome extension got a big update. Every journalist & researcher should install it ASAP! Faster URL archiving w/ customization, access to yr personal archive, and it tells you if the page you’re on has already been archived, etc. #osint”

I saved the full thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @CraigSilverman on Thread Reader App:

Need to find a better way to log the essentials of a browser side HTML element using JavaScript object

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/04

The basic options for logging an HTML Element using JavaScript are for instance described in [Wayback/Archive] google chrome – How can I log an HTML element as a JavaScript object? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Ben Flynn for asking and [Wayback/Archive] Mathias Bynens for answering)):

Use console.dir:
var element = document.documentElement; // or any other element
console.log(element); // logs the expandable <html>…</html>
console.dir(element); // logs the element’s properties and values

Both log all html or all properties even though often these are enough (most via [Wayback/Archive] Element – Web APIs | MDN):

notes on updating DNS info with bind DNS

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/01

Steps:

  1. Edit the DNS zone file in /var/lib/named/master
  2. Make sure you updated the SOA serial number
  3. rcnamed restart
  4. Watch /var/lib/named/log/general for errors (you can even increase logging, for instance by reading [Wayback/Archive] this serverfault entry and editing /etc/named.d/logging) and – on my system – these other logs for the actual zone transfers:
    • /var/lib/named/log/in-xfer.log for incoming zone transfers on the secondary server
    • /var/lib/named/log/notify.log for notifications of zone transfers on the primary and secondary servers
    • /var/lib/named/log/out-xfer.log for outgoing zone transfers on the primary server
  5. Check on [Wayback/Archive] mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dns:example.org&run=toolpage# to see if the SOA serials have been replicated (one day I will write a bookmarklet for this)

Alternatives for the last step are sites like these:
