Couple of years ago RJBS gave a great talk about email, it's complexity and issues - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JENdgiAPD6c
Mad_Dud··on Bitcoin $500
Could the recent peak be related with the Cryptolocker campaign?

Mad_Dud··on Light Table - a new IDE concept
Could you name the modes, which help you accomplish live-debug and 1-click documentation effects?
Mad_Dud··on Podcasts for Hackers
€uroTr@sh: Information Security Podcast - http://www.eurotrashsecurity.eu/index.php/Main_Page

Using this opportunity I would like to propose to organize some kind of streaming channel (on twitch.tv or similar) about hacking/coding.

Mad_Dud··on Polish Internet community goes nuts against ACTA
The simplest way is to use netstat and check amount of connections from each host. If you see plenty hosts with many connections established, that's DDoS. If there is plenty hosts, but each one has few connections, thats DoS (aka slash dot effect), mentioned by Tomek_.

PS: DDoS - distributed denial-of-service attack. Deliberate attack which involves dedicated software; DoS - denial-of-service. Server can't handle all requests, because suddenly there is more of them (because of link on frontpage etc)

Mad_Dud··on "DIY Dropbox" or "2-way directory (r)sync with proper deletion"
Sometimes it's not acceptable to store data on external server without root on it. For these kind of uses Unison (mentioned in previous comments) is decent solution, but also AeroFS (aerofs.com), which works much smoother (less collision problems).

Anyway syncing data on several devices must became standard soon.

Mad_Dud··on Tips for Remote Unix Work (SSH, screen, and VNC)
It's worth mentioning that ssh-copy-id might have problems with specifying port number. Here is workaround for that:

$ ssh-copy-id ‘-p xx -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub login@example.com’

Mad_Dud··on Critical Windows Vulnerability in TCP/IP Stack Could Allow Remote Code Execution
Does anybody have PoC on this one?
Mad_Dud··on LulzSec: 50 Days of Lulz statement
It doesn't have to be true.
