Hack, code and drink some țuică.

Links of the Week #4

  1. How the Prime Meridian Changed the World: Not technical stuff but worth reading.
  2. OpenSSH keys and the drunken bishop: Ever wondered about that visual fingerprint when generating SSH keys? Well this article brings some light on that. I’ve tried on my own and that’s fun: 
    $ ssh -o VisualHostKey=yes [email protected] -p 1337
Host key fingerprint is xxxxx
+--[ RSA 2048]----+

  1. The effects of computer programming on the brain: I should be worried about that. Are YOU addicted to programming? Just in case, let me know…
  2. http://www.blackhatlibrary.net/Shellcodecs: Useful collection.
  3. Use Google Authenticator For Two-Factor SSH Authentication in Linux: Add 2-factor authentication to your SSH linux server. 2-Factor auth seems to be quite trendy these days…
  4. Call For Papers – Balkan Computer Congress 2013: My favourite anecdote related to this one: “… and because we’re from Eastern Europe we like break things and stuff.” (some SAP guy :-))
  5. Emacs is dead: Old but worth mentioning it. I’ve never used Emacs btw. I’m a VIM lover since my birth.
  6. Letter To A Young Programmer Considering A Startup: “I regularly get emails from young people, usually those with an interest in programming, who are trying to make decisions about school and/or their professional futures. This post is for those young people.“
