Codebase64 mirroring idiots?

I know, I know - Internet is not available everwhere but is that really a reason to crawl codebase64.org with a stupid webcrawler hitting each and every URL it sees?

Frantic and me agreed in adding a plugin which will allow an HTML-ized download for on-the-road-reads and we of course hope that intensified reading leads to more submissions! (Stay tuned for that!)

MEANWHILE we are close to banning _ALL OF POLAND_ via IP rules and deny any access to codebase64.org and other sites hosted on the same server.
HOW SICK ARE YOU generating 60gb of traffic for what appears from the logs as mirroring will result as an unbrowsable data blob.

Oh, cant be wasting our bandwidth with such a silly connection but keeping the shit running for over a week shows some dedication at least. If the initiator is reading this: quit it or deal with the consequences. We are open minded and surely give more than we take - you are abusing it.

(BTW, codebase64 is generating about 8gb per month without stupid mirroring attempts, as a comparison to above give number. We'd like to keep reliability and speed so please report any problems to either Frantic or me)

soci: as much as I favour your paranoia regarding encryption you'd have to find the solution for the regular linux admin to have some sort of self-signed ssl-certificate for several domains on the same IP. Is there something like self-signed SAN certificates maybe? Will this mozilla encrypt campaign have alike?


You can have multiple certificates for different domains on a single IP with SNI these days, and it's not difficult to set up (only have experience with apache2). Even self signed is better than nothing.

Until then: we surely would love to see you contributing. Use a unique login/password combination and there shouldn't be too much of a thread to falsify your coding info. Damn that's too high stuff for the NSA even!


Unique passwords is the norm of course. It's more about random wifi routers I connect through, not my home connection which I only use for 3 hours a month or so. Same argument as last time, if I suddenly start to spam then sorry ;)

Is it really that you wouldn't comment e.g. a blog post if your email is required and there is no https?</offtopic>


It's a pain to create a throw away unique e-mail address every time. Especially if the account is dropped after 30 days of inactivity. So I think twice if it's worth to register.

Where's the problem having a certificate per VirtualHost directive? Have running that here, just specify a different cert per VirtualHost and you are done? The IP is not the problem, you just need to use the right FQDN per host when creating the certificate.

It requires SNI-support both on the server and on the browser. It works on major browsers since long though.

Please read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

my mod_ssl comments:

# Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
# supported by MSIE on Windows XP.

Will setup some https hosts for the paranoid here soonish and let you know then :)

It is now possible to download the contents of Codebase 64 as a HTML archive that you can browse locally on your own machine, when you have no internet access available or so. The zip file is about 85 megabytes.

http://codebase64.org/doku.php?id=download_the_wiki

Start browsing using the page called "start.html". Let me know if it works OK. I haven't tested it much myself, but merely made use of the "site export" plugin for dokuwiki.

Also,

https://codebase64.org is available now.
We are looking to add "proper" Mozilla encrypt (or alike) certificates which will not require you to accept the cert soonish.

Yes, more hardening on the available ciphers will be done as well soonish. I am just lazy on testing :)

Basically should not hold back soci from submitting some hardcore drive routines now though! :)

Seems to work fine. A nice addition to the dev environment on my notebook.
Thanks!

You can create a free certificate here: https://www.startssl.com. Always better than a self signed one ;)

Which drive code? There are many better loaders than I did before. And there's no interest in real floppies apparently, not even in my own team.

Actually I was thinking about extending the cross development section a bit.

Possibly it's just a lack of experience. I lived long-long ago in a dormitory with 10Base2 Ethernet and lots of hubs. Was great fun with telnet, http and ftp logins. It thought me a few lessons.

For me it's good enough as it is now. No need to push it further unless you've got interested.
