[HAIFUX Lecture] Sifting a Haystack -- The Slashdot Back-End From a Naive User's Point of View by Tim Lord
Next Monday, February 2nd at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear Tim Lord speaking about Sifting a Haystack -- The Slashdot Back-End From a Naive User's Point of View Abstract I'll give an overview of the Slashdot editorial process, and demonstrate the back-end tools (all running on Linux, mostly written in Perl, with an increasingly Ajax-based user interface) that we use to organize hundreds of submissions each day to select the handful that we post to the page. I'll also explain some of the software-based methods we use to identify and avoid abusive users, and answer any questions that I can. == We meet in Taub building, room 6.

Unicast broadcasting requires tremendous bandwidth and hence - money. Thus he asked me to check multicast option. There are instructions on doing multicast using VLC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpkmdi1gKvM but during my researches I discovered that few deployed routers support multicasting technolody, and even then, the resulting video stream would suffer from slightest packet drop. Can anybody comment? If I understand correctly, every multicast-enabled router or firewall must monitor subscribed multicasts and periodically poll the clients, whether they are still interested in getting the multicast stream. I have not found a way to forward multicast packets on Linux. Once there was package mrouterd, but it is not shipped anymore. Have anybody worked with multicasted video on Linux? i do not think ip multicast is the solution. using ip multicast it is easier to create high load traffic and slow down the net ., so it is disabled on purpose ...

Bash auto lock?
Hello, As part of PCI DSS compliance process (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_DSS) one of the questions there is about forcing auto-lock of shell sessions upon inactivity. I know about autologout in sshd, which I personally disable (but maybe now will have to enable for PCI compliance). But if auto-lock is acceptable then it looks more appealing to me since it would mean that I won't lose remote sessions while going out to lunch. Back in BSD 4 there used to be a utility to lock the screen called lock. I don't see it any more. The closest I found is vlock which at first I though is meant to be used only on virtual consoles but apparently it can be used for ssh session as well. Here is a link on how to set this up with zsh, and why it won't work for bash: http://www.howtointernets.com/wiki/index.php/Set_up_Inactive_Shell_Timeout_/_Lock_on_CentOS_5 Does anyone know how to achieve what I'm looking for?
