[opensuse] ls or find on directories with millions of files ?
by Per Jessen 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

This might be file system dependent, I'm not sure. I've been doing some tidying up and got stuck on a few directories with millions of files in them. 3+ million per directory. Doing a 'find' takes a very long time and also essentially chokes the system. I ended up writing a small utility using getdents() instead, much faster and the system remains operational. I was just wondering if e.g. 'find' or 'ls' had some options that would limit the scope ? (not mtime etc). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] help for downloading xpi from addons.mozilla.org site
by Istvan Gabor 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hello: I would like to download (not to install) screengrab xpi with seamonkey web browser because I want to have the xpi file with its original name locally. When I visit the download page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/screengrab-fix-version/versi… with my seamonkey web browser I cannot find any download link to the xpi files. I see only big green buttons with the message "Only with Firefox — Get Firefox Now!", and these buttons direct me to firefox download page. What I want is to save the xpi for later use. Why doesn't the addons page allow the download of the xpi files with different browsers? How can I find out the xpi download links?

[opensuse] Why doesn't firewalld start at boot?
by Dave Plater 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Hi, I first did a google and a word search in this list and the support list and the only mention of firewalld not starting at boot didn't have any replies. I did a bug search but found nothing, in fact it seems that people want to stop it at boot not start it. My Leap:15.0 laptop has it starting at boot, the only difference is that the laptop uses network manager and this pc uses wicked. I haven't bothered with this until now because kde connect doesn't work without the firewall running. Why doesn't firewalld start at boot suse firewall did.

[opensuse] The D in Systemd stands for 'Dammmmit!' A nasty DHCPv6 packet can pwn a vulnerable Linux box • The Register
by James Knott 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

I just came across this article. However, as this quote shows, whoever wrote the article doesn't really understand IPv6: "Thus, a rogue DHCPv6 server on a network, or in an ISP, could emit specially crafted router advertisement messages that wake up these clients, exploit the bug, and possibly hijack or crash vulnerable Systemd-powered Linux machines." Router advertisements are sent via link local addresses, which means only the router on the same network can cause this, as link local addresses are never passed by a router. Also, SLAAC is often used, not DHCPv6 for clients. You won't see any DHCPv6 clients on the local network, unless specifically enabled. The WAN side might be vulnerable, but that would require an ISPs router to be compromised. I doubt most ISPs would be running Linux on their network. They tend to go for high end Cisco gear or equivalent. There are some Cisco models that run on Linux, but they're not high end. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/26/systemd_dhcpv6_rce/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Friday - something to wrap your head around (literally) "twisted light"
by David C. Rankin 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

Or more formally OAM: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/25/twisted_light_networking_speeds/ apparently has the potential to increase fiber-throughput 100 fold. Now I like to think I'm roundly educated, and my undergrad did dig heavily into the wave-particle duality of photons and light, but this is the first time I've heard about OAM or its use to encode information. Future may not be all that boring after all. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
