“How to defend your website with ZIP bombs” has been making rounds on the Internet for the last few weeks. Â It’s both sad, that we have to resolve to such measures, and funny as to how tongue-in-cheek this approach is.
Whether you are going to implement it for your web host or not, it’s well worth reading, for a better understanding of what’s going on online, in places, that you are probably not looking at.
As someone who went through a whole pile of trying and error with Amazon AWS, I strongly recommend reading anything you can on the subject before you start moving your business to the cloud (not even necessarily Amazon, but any vendor), and while you have it running there. Â “The AWS spend of a SaaS side-business” is a good one in that category.
I’ve been called many a name in my days. Â But ‘Default Value’ is the first one for me. Â I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, or not so much.
As sent by the otherwise awesome people at Elastix. :)
AOS is a very easy to use, but fancy looking JavaScript library for animating page blocks on mouse scroll. Â It supports a wide range effects, like fading, flipping, zooming, and more.
Fedora 26 has been release about a month and a half ago. Â But I didn’t have the time to update my laptop until today. Â There was also nothing particularly exciting for me in this release, so there was no rush.
Here’s what I had to do today to update my laptop from Fedora 25 to Fedora 26:
# Let's get into root to save a few keystrokes sudo su - # Install all updates for Fedora 25 dnf update # Install dnf system upgrade plugin dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade # Download upgrade packages for Fedora 26 dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=26 # Reboot and install Fedora 26 dnf system-upgrade reboot
If you need more help, have a look at DNF system upgrade wiki page.
The whole process took less an hour, but your mileage may vary. Â For me, the download itself was the slowest part. Â I had to pull down about 2.5 GBytes worth of packages, and given my office connection, it took about 35-40 minutes.
The installation itself took about 10-15 minutes, for which, I think, the solid-state disk (SSD) helped a lot.
One more reboot later, everything was up and running. Â Of all the changes pushed into this version, I think, the upgrade to PHP 7.1 is the one that affects me the most.
