Comment on Saam-Luk-Ling is Falling Down by Winza

Winza — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 08:35:19 +0000

The Tsing Ma Bridge and the Lantau highway was probably harder to build and yet they are still up and withstanding strong forces of nature after 10 years. It seems that most things have failed to work properly after HK’s return to China.

Comment on Suspend-to-RAM on a Debian system the ultra-lazy way by spacehunt

I haven’t tried to suspend via gnome-power-manager… I still do it through the command line at the moment.

Hi,

Do you know how to get gnome-power-manager works to suspend-to-ram?

On x31 it hibernates to ram just fine, but it refuses to wake up.

Wow, a hibernate-to-ram that actually works - and comes back! I’ll be testing it… But it works somehow better than ACPI’s detection of the “suspend” switch in my laptop (which hibernates nicely, but upon comeback cannot start X again)

Thanks! Was that a recent addition to the hibernate package?

Evgeni Golov — Sat, 26 May 2007 09:02:04 +0000

Just for the record:
using “hibernate-ram” is easier than “hibernate -F /etc/hibernate/ram.conf” (Yes, it does exactly the same)

One more fact that I learnt from Tuesday’s BLUG meeting: Loongson is fabricated by STmicro.

Comment on Lemote, Loongson, Fulong, Godson by spacehunt

spacehunt — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:43:33 +0000

You are quite correct; I should have been more specific. ICT is a department inside the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), while Lemote is a commercial arm of CAS, in charge of commercializing Godson/Loongson technology.

Comment on Lemote, Loongson, Fulong, Godson by Gavin Mu

Gavin Mu — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 02:41:42 +0000

“Both Loongson and Fulong are developed by Lemote”
It’s wrong…
Loongson is the new name of Godson, which is developed by Institute of Computing Technology, shorted as ICT(http://www.ict.ac.cn/en/index.htm).

iptables solve the problem if used on both sides.

That’s exactly what we tried. Sure, the connection doesn’t drop, but there’s still the transparent proxy to deal with.

Comment on Oh bloody hell you Brits… by spacehunt

Ah I noticed this ad is now on Hong Kong TV as well. I think the Chinese subtitles in the HK version perfectly captures what Aussies think of the word ‘bloody hell’.

Comment on The Legendary Great Firewall of China by Lawrence Sheed

Lawrence Sheed — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 16:47:15 +0000

Ok, I’m seeing this now.

We setup a service on port 26 for clients to send mail through with SMTP AUTH
(port 25 is spam filtered with a bunch of rbl’s now, and we’re seeing plenty collateral damage blocking)

If clients were blocked, we told them change over to port 26. (I would normally tell people use SSL / port 587, but we find that incurs the wrath of connection reset^H^H the firewall in spades, so i don’t even bother)

Problem was that they still couldn’t send mail.

A check on the server showed that everything was coming in ok except for the DATA.
Somewhere along the line the ‘china proxy’ was dropping that.

I did some logging myself as this was replicatable, and lo and behold, I was seeing similar to you - what I was sending was not what I was receiving.

Logging them off / on ADSL solved this for me. Probably something like - new ip address, new session with proxy server.

Makes running mail services here such fun, sigh…

Comment on “Man-in-the-Middle” is an understatement by Matasano Chargen » Improving The Great Firewall of China

Matasano Chargen » Improving The Great Firewall of China — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 22:45:00 +0000

[…] A synopsis: one mechanism (but not the only one) used by the PRC terminates connections with injected TCP RST packets. Your 15 second TCP refresher: RST packets abort connections, ostensibly because something has gone wrong. A host that receives an RST matching (by addresses and ports) a live connection —- with valid sequence numbers —- will close the connection. A man-in-the-middle can use RST packets to kill an unfavorable connection. The PRC uses RST packets to kill web requests about Falun Gong (among other things). […]
