Overlays often have ask users to like some page on facebook, or to subscribe to some mailing list, it's not advertising. But you need to make a click to close it.

By the way, there is an extension that removes overlays on any website and doesn't require any permissions, Behind The Overlay => https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/behindtheoverlay/l...

It's activated by clicking the icon or by using a keyboard shortcut (cmd+shit+x). So there is at least one single way to close any overlay on any website.

Why would somebody need a TCP load balancer in a web server ?

Is there a use-case where the TCP load balancer being with the web-server made a lot of sense ?

Integrating too many features into a single software can be risky as it may compromise simplicity and the UNIX way, 1 tool for 1 job..

No need to be ashamed, French politicians are far better than US ones. It's not the US politicians who have built Google. As US have concentred all the money, Europe's companies have hard time investing in some technology that will not yield revenue immediately. Google got its first revenue few years after its foundation, that's impossible for a EU based company. Europe should create more conditions for its startups, otherwise no new technology will come out Europe.

I saw this problem two weeks ago, tweeted about it but never heard from them https://twitter.com/NicolaeNMV/status/527086957059637248

With AdBlock it's working perfectly.

I also saw requests to LinkedIn going from SlideShare, I wonder why.. https://twitter.com/NicolaeNMV/status/527092523987402752

You should give prismic.io a spin. You basicaly define data format in as JSON, CRUD interface is generated just from data description. The data you you add is also JSON you can easily retrive. You can query the data with predicates. Did a few projects with it, didn't need a database, or create a CRUD, such a relive.

You're welcome !

Author here, I got annoying of overlays I see more and more, with different way of closing them, so I made this extension that is universal, it can close any overlay on any website :)

For those who seek to know how it's working, the source code on github https://github.com/NicolaeNMV/BehindTheOverlay

It's easy to depack even the packer's "Base 64 encode", just replace the eval function with a call to console.log for example, and you will have your original code.

Jsnice doesn't exceutes eval as it's doing statical analysis ie. without executing the programs.

What country in western Europe ? Never heard about anyone talking about a dual-sim telephones in France. But there is not much point of having two subscription to two companies that prices are aligned.

>have no choice but to support the "people uprising" as these "green little men" is the only hope of Russian speaking population in eastern Ukraine against "trains of friendship" of Ukranian nationalists descending on their towns and villages.

Could you please elaborate why you have "no choice" ? How exactly did Ukrainians threatened the Russian people in Ukraine so you agree on war ? Wasn't a Yanukovych a pro-russian president ? Why not simply wait for an election as a democratic country ? Why support those who want war and war of the nations ?

This is not a war of two countries it's a war of two nations that share the same roots. If the war is the last option Russia had, they are indeed very disparate. I don't think they are in need of support, they're more in need of mourning.

Violence is the weapon of the weak said the great Gandhi. Even when violence appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. -- Gandhi How many died already ? In name of what ? Stupidsapiens. If we could all once agree to stop the violence, stop talking politics and more about how we can evolve and improve our lives and live in peace, that would be a tremendous achievement..

>There's always someone with a bigger pipe. I'm speaking here about a small size DDoS (<1GB/s) and not the CloudFlare 40GB/s flood.

>What exactly does that entail, technically? Smells like snake oil to me. At least the simple SYN flood and UDP flood. The atacker in question couldn't have anything sophisticated.

Cloudflare is only for HTTP and internet is more than just HTTP.

I had a irc server for my friends, one of not-so-friendly visitors told me that the server will get down, and it went down. I lost ping to my server, CPU & the bandwidth were all at 100%. The support told me that I should use another company. I went to a company that has DDoS protection http://www.online.net/

I find it unacceptable that you can be DDoSed so easily, it's like we're still in 90'.. DDoS protection should be something ubiquitous for small power servers like VPS, otherwise it's trivial to get them down.

An Anti-DDoS protection ! That's a god-send ! I had a terrible experience recently with Digital-Ocean. A VPS of mine with a fresh launched project was knocked down with some basic ddos attack. The support nodded and pointed to use CloudFlare. My server was down and they didn't do anything, that really sucks, you can't use a VPS without a DDos protection for anything serious. It can go down anytime when some script-kiddie opens a hunder of sockets.

It's really sad that DDoS protection didn't become ubiquitous yet. It's unacceptable that you can get down a server, even VPS with not-so-much bandwidth. All VPS have limited number of sockets and resources and it's trivial to knock them down. Absence of a DDoS protection makes them extremely vulnerable.

""Putin is evil" cliché" ? That's not a cliché at all. If you're saying that Ukraine == Middle East then you could say that USSR == Middle East. That's not true at all.

Russia is crushing nearby countries. Georgia with South Ossetia in 2008. Moldova with Transnistria in 1992. Chechnya.

Now they are crushing Ukrainian people for not loving their pro-Russian president.

You could cache the results of the examples that are on the right ;]

When downloading requires you to login, you absolutely need all the cookies even if you download it to your server first.

In this case, "Copy cURL" of a request from Chrome's Developer Tools is priceless.

There is dstat missing from the list. It's a tool that shows the information of vmstat, iostat, netstat and ifstat in a clearer and with colors ;)

I use it primarly to see the used bandwidth in real-time. It's better than ifstat for that job.

A very useful curl switch that I discovered, resume of partially downloaded file ! -C or --continue-at <offset>. When offset is "-", curl will use the output file to figure out the offset.

curl -C - -o "some_file"

It will basically get the size of "some_file" and use it as an offset when making the HTTP request, similar to wget --continue.

Very useful to download a file from a unreliable network and when you need all those security cookies. To get the cookies I use "Copy cURL" from Network pane of Chrome's "Developer tools".

We had a similar situation in Republic of Moldova in 2009, an ex-USSR country near Ukraine, a so called twitter-revolution, one of the first of them. [1]

We are much smaller and less population but the tactics used in Ukraine reminds me of the events Moldova but on a bigger scale. So called "titushki" are the instigators that are infiltrating among peaceful protesting population with the intention to compromise the entire movement and to discredit the protest.

Students were tortured by the police for months after the protests begun. Students that participated in the protests were kidnapend from the dormitory. [2] Those slides of Ukraine are not at all surpising.

Protesters killed to death, at least 4. Valeriu Boboc, 23 year old who was also a father was killed after the protests ended http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Moldova_civil_unrest#Death...

I must say, the tactics of the instigators were very effective in our country. The result was burning of the house of parliament [3]. All the blame was on protesters, it basically discredited the protesters calling them vandals and thefts (as some of them have stolen some furniture). We believe that instigators and the police who gave up surprisingly easy were cooperating, and that they burned up and destroyed documents from parliament themselves.

I'm very glad that in Ukraine they are better prepared. I have very much sympathy with the protesters in Ukraine as the Russian influence in the region is still very much present. Russian is still defending it's interests and it makes us angry. You must understand that a country very rich in petrol and all kind of minerals have a great deal of influence when massively sponsoring parties of their interest and putting pressure with their own army in Transnistria that they left after collapse of USSR. [4]

* * *

There is also a big problem with russian population that stayed on our territory and continue to have the USSR values. And more of all, they continue to believe that they don't need to learn the local language. It's a mess. That's why it's so much fight between populations and shady people profiting of this situation.

I had the same question. After researching a bit, I found that you have multiple wrappers that you can use. One of them is file:// another is php://. I wonder if the php:// one is available in HipHop.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php

I cannot reproduce this. However, if I press the power button for a very brief delay, it will not go to sleep. If I leave it pressed slightly longer, it goes to sleep.

Wow, you can also specify the algorithm for choosing the piece to download when multi-segmented downloads is chosen.

--stream-piece-selector=inorder

Very useful to start watching a video file before its fully downloaded. It must be the most advanced downloader.

http://aria2.sourceforge.net/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#cmdo...

I hacked axel to do the same but my patch was not perfect. https://github.com/adrenalinup/axel-incremental-downloading

Didn't knew that aria2 provided this out-of-the-box.

It's even worse than that. There is Russian army that occupied a portion of Moldova called Transnitria. Time to time they are trying to escalate the situation, like trying to take control of neighbour village, or killing some local people when some of their military is getting drunk on new year eve, this very scary for us. [1] [2]

The same strategy applied to Moldova. But we had even less luck than Latvia&Baltics as we are the "the fastest skrinking country" [1], lot of young people and those who can emigrate are going abroad, as the post-soviet era didn't left much of viable bussines and we had to start from scratch with not so much money and neither much know-how. (for soviets Moldova was labeled as an agriculture country).

And if the soviet era was not enough, Russians didn't stop there, the military aggression continued, they occupied a portion of Moldova creating an enclave called Transnistria. [2]

Our asspiration to get into Europe Union are meet with economical embargo from the same annoying neighbour. (and not only us, everyone one the Russian boarded is harassed) [3] It's hard but we are evolving, but not as fast as as we would like..

It's hard to hide, but the Russia is really a very unfortunate neighbour to have. Really happy to see Baltics doing better after so much misfortune that we share..

You also have deluge-console a console client to connect to deluge server.

And it's a lot easier to use than rtorrent that has some insane shortcuts you will never remember.

You don't even need tmux/screen as with rtorrent/aria2c, just connect with deluge-console whenever you want, it's deluge server that is doing everything in background.

Youtube doesnt seem to work here, I get a "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback" message..

I guess you need Flash installed to make Shumway work ?

Ugh, I couldn't read past this. Fuck you the Guardian..

Good idea, more simply a dedicated google chrome profile can be used..
