[slim] Skin Breaks SlimServer!

I downloaded and installed 6.5.whatever it is today. (I'm not on that computer just now.) Install went OK, scan went OK, didn't seem too long or anything. Then I was fiddling with the skins. I set default2, and not only was it really odd looking, it got 404s trying to set a different skin. I sea

Then please feel free to reopen and leave a comment explaining why you feel that is it NOT the mms streaming issue. At the very least, make note that your own suggested workaround no longer works. Disagree all you want, but fuming about it doesn't get anything closer to working. d_source, d_htt

I wrote a little program which generates random passwords. My WPA key is 10 chars (lower case + numbers) which is really perfectly secure and much easier to type. EDIT: Oh and write it on a post-it attached to the router. If the wannabe intruder can read it, you've got bigger problems :) -- ra

By the way, to get the best security from your WEP/WPA passwords, use true random characters as generated by 'hotbits' (https://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/secure_generate.html) or similar. Pseudo-random and non-random strings aren't nearly as secure. -- grimholtz 'Get PasswordMaker' (https://pas

Yeah, me too - I decided to make things harder for a dictionary attacker by using capitalization, punctuation, letters, numbers and misspelling. I suspect I only made it harder on myself. No, there are no shortcuts. Thankfully you don't have to do it all that often. If you haven't discovered i
