I just blocked these IP subnets on my routers:
- 141.138.130.0/24
- 141.138.131.0/24
Within a day they managed to get 80+ IP addresses from these subnets into my port-scanner blacklists because of suspicious port scanning activities.
They all belong to William Hill Organization Ltd, United Kingdom.
If the situation continues I’m going to block the superblock as well:

The below is even more convoluted when you have ad-blockers installed: then the G+ integration won’t even appear and the behaviour differs between classic G+ and current G+.
So here are the steps:
- Remove the WordPress link from https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
- In your blog settings (for me that’s https://wordpress.com/sharing/wiert.me) remove the G+ integration; do this in a Chrome incognito Window if the G+ integration is not visible
- At the same page re-add your G+ integration and follow further steps at https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting
Modern G+ settings at https://plus.google.com/settings does not have the above permissions integration link but classic G+ at https://plus.google.com/settings?gmbpt=true&fd=1 does.

Hi there,
I have good news!
A few weeks ago, Google+ made some changes to their API. In doing so introduced some issues with Publicize. The module still worked, but the updates posted by the WordPress app on your Google+ Profile or Google+ Page were only visible to you.
In the past few weeks, we’ve worked with Google+ to start using a new API. That API works just like the old one, with one exception: publicized posts are now public. You can’t change the visibility of publicized posts to “My Circles”, or anything else.
If you’re happy to have Publicize publishing public posts to your Google+ Profile or Page, you can follow the instructions below to delete your old connection, and then reconnect your Jetpack site to your Google+ account:
https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting
I hope this helps.

If you see this in journalctl after boot in a VM, then you likely want to disable piix4 smbus device detection:

The solution is to add one line to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf (well: maybe [WayBack] add a comment line as well):
blacklist i2c_piix4

At first I thought Comcast was a really good joke by Kristian Köhntopp, but it is actually a really cool open source tool with an appropriate name:
Comcast is a tool designed to simulate common network problems like latency, bandwidth restrictions, and dropped/reordered/corrupted packets.
It is written in go and works on BDS and derivatives (including Mac OS X). It could probably made to work on Windows too.
The source is on Github: tylertreat/comcast

So I won’t forget: trying to make sense of this incomprehensible message (and the update on a Raspberry Pi takes looooooooong and while updating, the file /etc/sudoers.d/010_pi-nopasswd does not exist yet)
20161018+1 reintroduces passwordless sudo for pi user even if previously removed · Issue #6 · RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods [WayBack]
raspberrypi-sys-mods (20161018+3) jessie; urgency=medium
* The 20161018 release has introduced a /etc/sudoers.d/010_pi-nopasswd file.
- The file is installed even if the "pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" entry has been
previously removed from /etc/sudoers by the user.
- If you do not want the entry to exist, please comment out or remove 010_pi-nopasswd.
- If upgrading to 20161018+3 from a version earlier than 20161018, the line in
010_pi-nopasswd is automatically commented out if the entry doesn't exist in sudoers.
- See https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/issues/6

A few months ago was my first ever presence on IRC wich started like this:
[13:45] bear with me: after BITNET relay chat, I've totally skipped the IRC thing, so
[13:46] * jeroenp_ is IRC n00b and wonders if netiquette is roughly the same as in the mid 1990s (:
[13:46] jeroenp_: I don't think it changed a lot...
[13:46] Cool: /me works on IRC too (:
[13:47] Anyone having time to help me with `zypper dup` on Tumbleweed indicating `python3-urllib3-1.16-1.1.noarch requires python(abi) = 3.5` ?
I will post later on my own chat history (including BITNET Relay conference system on BITNET/EARN).
This post is just to mention a few keywords of Let’s have a chat – a taxonomy and some context(This is a text I wrote for work, but it contains nothing work specific and I might as well drop it here.… – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
Kristian Köhntopp now basically uses his G+ as a blog (blog.koehntopp.de is now defunct) with a great set of collections.
I’ve kept my blog as I find G+ very hard to search for content and a “bla bla site:wiert.me” for me often is the fastest way to find something back that interests me.
Hence the keywords below on his post Let’s have a chat – a taxonomy and some context.
- Chat, IRC, ICQ, Jabber, Skype, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Slack and RocketChat
- Google Wave, Apache Wave, Google Documents and Google Spaces.
- Managing presence in adverse circumstances: status, /away, nickname renaming
- Deliverables
- One identity, many clients: a common history (federation, standards, XML, SIP, extensions, incompatibilities)
- Many-to-Many conversations: Groups versus Places (rooms, channels, discoverability)
- Media, bots (hello Eliza) and API
- emoji, giphy and meme references
