  • 1Gbps FTTH

    This month, I changed FTTH Internet from 100Mbps to 1Gbps. The costs is almost same as the past line. To change the line, I had need to be witness in the construction, so I  couldn’t get time to attend DebConf 2015. According to Speedtest.net, I can get about 300 Mbps upstream bandwidth.

  • Jessie installer with kvm/serial console

    I tried to install Jessie on a brand-new virtual machine (kvm), but it has a problem about serial console login. At least, wheezy installer worked fine because it adds getty entry on /etc/inittab. Jessie uses systemd but no care about getty service for serial console. The probrem is reported as #769406. My solution is invoke […]

    Graham Neubig published “Travater“, an OpenSource statistical machine translation system and the demosite (http://ahclab.naist.jp/travatar/translator/).

  • Weak ssh public keys in github

    A presentation slide, named “Attacking against 5 millions SSH public keys – 偶然にも500万個のSSH公開鍵を手に入れた俺たちは” is published, it is a lightning talk in “Edomae security seminar” in Jan 24, 2015.  He grabbed ssh public keys with  GitHub API (https://github.com/${user}.key), the API is obsoleted, but not closed.

  • Use Module::Build::Tiny as Debian policy compliant

    I tried to make Google::API::Client deb package, it requires Module::Build::Tiny, and dh-make-perl don’t suppot it, so I worte a override code in debian/rules. [sourcecode] override_dh_auto_install: ./Build install –destdir=$$(pwd)/debian/$pkgname –installdirs=vendor [/sourcecode] More elegant answer should be to add Module::Build::Lite support to dh-make-perl. Update: This probrem is only wheezy, I don’t need such workaround on sid. Thank […]
