Re: [gentoo-user] Best whois client?
from eix, it says that jwhois can do recursive queries whatever that means. -Kevin On 03/27/2013 06:37 PM, Michael Orlitzky wrote: On 03/27/2013 06:08 AM, Mick wrote: Like Stroller I've been using net-misc/whois for ever and it does what I want, but don't know what the other packages may be able to do/do better. I would also be interested to find out why people prefer using these. They're all identical. The whois protocol is stupid simple; here's the entire spec from the RFC: 2. Protocol Specification A WHOIS server listens on TCP port 43 for requests from WHOIS clients. The WHOIS client makes a text request to the WHOIS server, then the WHOIS server replies with text content. All requests are terminated with ASCII CR and then ASCII LF. The response might contain more than one line of text, so the presence of ASCII CR or ASCII LF characters does not indicate the end of the response. The WHOIS server closes its connection as soon as the output is finished. The closed TCP connection is the indication to the client that the response has been received. Different data are located in different places, though. So if you're looking up an IP address, you'll want one server. If you're looking up an AS number, you'll want another. All the client does is run heuristics to figure out who (and how) to query. Then it dumps it to a terminal. In short, there are a lot of whois clients for the same reason there are a lot of telnet clients: it's something you can sit down and write in a weekend. Personally, I tried jwhois at first, but couldn't remember to type the 'j'. So now I use non-j whois. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

This upgrade was bundled with the latest Chrome 22 update for Linux. If you applied the Chrome update, you are no longer able to watch DRM-protected content, such as movies and TV episodes. Trailers are unaffected as they do not use DRM. To get around this issue, you can use a different browser, such as Firefox.

Re: [gentoo-user] java vs icedtea6
I'm curious as well about the potential exploitability of icedtea. I would think that since the icedtea vm is not the same as the sun/oracle one and so I don't think the code base is the same, which would mean an exploit in the sun/oracle jvm would not necessarily affect icedtea. However, I know very little on this matter and seeing as i think both are open sourced i have no idea how much or if there is any code overlap. -Kevin On 01/15/2013 06:32 PM, William Kenworthy wrote: Looking for comments: A while back I removed java during an upgrade on my main desktop system and left icedtea6-bin in place without any noticeable effect. Presumably icedtea6 suffers the same java bug (cant find anything in their bugzilla though?) thats got everybody riled at the moment, though the last security bug on gentoo bugzilla is 2011. I am happy not using a mainstream java and avoiding the fuss that goes with dealing with oracles nonsense download restrictions but have two questions: 1. are there any real problems with using icedtea6? 2. icedtea6 and icedtea6-bin ... any difference in features? - I have had a much more stable experience with openoffice vs openoffice-bin so presume build yourself would be the same here? The questions may seem redundant seeing I am using both icedtea and java on various systems, but others experience may not be the same, or have more knowledge which would be useful before I move everything over.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} dedicated server or cloud server?
Cloud services are often far more expensive, I work with someone who did a fair amount of research of the various costs of clouds. They are good for dynamic scaling of resources but if your concentrating on one server or another its likely your server load isn't highly intensive and a single dedicated server could handle it. Also, there are the options of cheaper webhosting, or a VPS, as a true dedicated server can be quite expensive due to the cost of rackspace. In terms of availability, it simply depends on replication and the reliability of the data site. with a standard cloud server there is likely not replication across sites and so the availability is determined by availability of the data center. Dedicated servers dont have multi site replication (unless you do it yourself), however many provide far better uptime SLAs than a cloud provider. For example, Amazon EC2 SLA guaruntees 99.95% uptime. whereas dedicated servers or VPSs can generally offer between 99,99% and 99.% (depending on who it is). -Kevin Brandstatter On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 8:34 AM, Florian Philipp li...@binarywings.netwrote: Am 14.12.2012 11:00, schrieb Grant: Would everyone here be in favor of a dedicated server over a cloud server from a host with good cloud infrastructure? The cloud server concept is amazing but from what I'm reading a dedicated server at the same price point far outperforms it. - Grant Last time I did the calculation, a dedicated or normal virtualized infrastructure was more cost effective as long as you could accurately predict the performance you need. Cloud services only really help if you need a high dynamic range regarding scale and performance, e.g. a service that could get a lot of new users very fast or is only really active for short time spans. Doesn't a good cloud server also have potentially higher availability compared to dedicated? - Grant I'd be grateful if anyone can point me at a well conducted study on that topic. Until then I just say that my anecdotal evidence shows the opposite: My cheap-ass virtual server has an uptime of 492 days with only minor, previously announced network outages. During the same time, Amazon EC2 had what, 3 or 4 major outages? Regards, Florian Philipp
