my NAS currently experiences a massive SSH login attack – I do have a couple of IP addresses, but which provider owns them?
103.41.124.48 103.41.124.32 103.41.124.35 103.41.124.38 103.41.124.39 103.41.124.17 103.41.124.55 103.41.124.27 103.41.124.14 … – the attack ist still ongoing … All of them got automatically blocked forever, but still … And Synology provides me with no means to export a full machine-readable list of all the IP-addresses, that my NAS keeps as blocked. That’s actually rather sad.

connecting to a NAS on my LAN – Firefox shows”This Connection is Untrusted” – how to use it anyway?
“I Understand the Risks“, “Add Exception“, “Confirm Security Exception” – but they still don’t let you procede – they think for you it is better, not to “Permanently store this exception“, so please uncheck that box, and then “Confirm Security Exception“. A while ago I wasn’t really aware of that checkbox, and I did not…

All my Macs got their Xcode packages and their Fink installation updated beforehand, as apparently that helps preserving a properly functioning Fink installation. The first “fink selfupdate” on an upgraded OS X Yosemite…

with the old Skype on my MacBook Air I was inaudible, after the update to Skype 7.1 everything is fine
With the old Skype on my MacBook Air I was inaudible, and I had no idea why and how to change it, I guess, it was flawed somehow. Now with Skype 7.1 it’s just fine. I have no idea, why after all these years this piece of software is still not stable. Or did Apple…
