Awesome trip. Though even many Vietnamese don't want to travel HCM highway. You make it looks fantastic, now I need to go there too.

What command is it?


What's better than running htmlEncode? Running it seven times!

This is an example of many other Asia countries as well, even if the host country is "hi-tech" but the excuse is always be "our company isn't hi-tech". If you're not working in trending industries, eg. e-commerce, mobile, finance, banking, etc., you'd expect to be stuck with 10yo technology.

I was using a HP Gen 3 server to query DNS to get here to input this comment.


It's not just Asia. Here in Canada I recently had to make some changes to my cell phone plan, and I watched the clerk struggle to use a system that was running on Windows XP.

I've also watched bank clerks using systems that were obviously running on 3278 simulators.

Most businesses are no more high tech and up to date than they have to be.


Couple of smaller local banks here in the UK are using kit I recognise from the 90's.

Co-incidentally the other bank I use with state of the art kit (relatively at least) is worse in every other way.

I don't much care what kit they use as long as they get the important stuff right.


> Symantec first said it improperly issued 23 test certificates for domains owned by Google, browser maker Opera, and three other unidentified organizations without the domain owners' knowledge. A few weeks later, after Google disputed the low number, Symantec revised that figure upward, saying it found an additional 164 certificates for 76 domains and 2,458 certificates for domains that had never been registered.

Wow, Symantec really really fucked up. I wonder why they still can be trusted now.


In Vietnam, there are more and more buses have 3G router w/ AP to supply internet to their customers on road trips. Even the remote mountains now have stable 3G network.


Yes, we visited Vietnam last year (beautiful country by the way, well worth a visit) and were surprised to get solid 3G coverage even out in the middle of Ha Long Bay!


    * Server certificate:
    *        subject: C=US; ST=New York; L=Armonk; O=International Business Machines; CN=redirect.www.ibm.com
    *        start date: 2015-09-30 00:00:00 GMT
    *        expire date: 2018-11-28 23:59:59 GMT
    *        subjectAltName does not match ibm.com
Why redirect.www.ibm.com??? It doesn't make sense.


It's in the content, FreeBSD is developing nosh[0] for replacing init system.

[0] https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2015-07-2015-09.h...


FreeBSD is not developing nosh as a replacement for init.

Someone in the FreeBSD community is developing nosh, and it might, someday, be a replacement for init. Might.

(I'm responsible for the IPSec bits in that report, and one of my employees did the Allwinner A10/A20 stuff listed there.)


I assume this part is just a joke.


If the FF didn't leave any trace and its proxies are fully transparent, do you think there's a way to detect that?


Some sort of timing attack? It also might be possible for google to detect them and shut them down since they use their services to route all the proxied requests to, but that would probably be difficult.


It's right here:
