Iptables : Simple Rules for a home firewall

firewall

Iptables Linux (including Ubuntu is probably the most widespread) is the program with which you interface with netfilter, which allows to intercept, block packets, in a more small change allows a user to decide which connections should block, and what doors will open to allow that particular traffic (is. open the door 21 to allow a user to connect to the local computer, that runs an ftp server).

In default, if anyone has configured the firewall, iptables block all incoming connections, which means that if someone tries to connect to your computer using that service (ftp, mail) receive a beautiful TIMEOUT.

This is easily checked by typing, in a shell: …Read the rest »

SEO: Importance of various factors for the purpose of positioning in the search engines

seo factors of importance

SEO, factors of importance

Doing some research on the web, originariamente per capire quale importanza avesse la validazione w3c per il posizionamento in google (link al thread), it seems there is a definitive answer, someone says accounts (little), someone says that it is totally irrelevant and is only a matter of pique, more important to avoid going crazy, because with the validation you avoid any display issues.

On the other parte c'è Robertoscano.info which asserts that the validation is one of the strengths of its high pagerank.

I came then to a link that lists, factor-by-factor, the weight that they have for the purpose of positioning in the search engines.

Earthquake in Abruzzo : here is the shock recorded by the seismograph of the Vesuvius and the various considerations

NOTE: UPDATES ARE NOT LIMITED TO 6 April, BUT EVEN THE DAYS, ALSO THE GAS (NOBLE) IT'S CALLED RADON, NOT RANDOM.
Spreader is LOCATING THE EARTHQUAKE ON A GOOGLE EARTH THIS LINK

this, Instead, and’ IL link AL SEISMOGRAPH ON-LINE COPPITO OF GIULIANI IN REAL TIME

THIS link A LIST OF MAJOR seismographs ITALIANS IN REAL TIME

Here is the route of the Vesuvius Observatory seismograph recorded the dawn of 6 April 2009.

Sismografo Osservatorio Vesuviano

update: this, Instead the track recorded by the Civil Defence of Foligno, much closer to L'Aquila
Terremoto 6 aprile da Foligno

As confirmed by many testimonies, Estata the shock is felt directly in the province of Naples (Fourth) that further north, in Caserta.

More details on this link

More details on European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre / European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre
and on the institution of the national geophysics and volcanology

The quake was followed by dozens of replicas, the strongest of which occurred at 4:37 Italian with a magnitude equal to 4.6. All these shocks occurred at crustal depths (i entered 10-12 km), typical of the Apennines earthquakes.

How can a man who has administered two bags of garbage, who said that the researcher had warned days ago:

AQUILA – Will renege on the words, and also the complaint Bertolaso, who had asked for exemplary punishment for the technical researcher who works at the National Laboratories of Gran Sasso, which last week warned that there would have been in the Abruzzo earthquake. Instead, Giampaolo Giuliani, this is its name, Alarm has been denounced for procured by the Civil Protection, guilty of spreading false and misleading, which have plunged the locals into a panic. Giuliani based his prediction on an analysis of a gas, Radon, that is released from the crust, and has built large cubic lead to monitor the soil rich in this gas. Although at the moment is virtually impossible to predict with absolute certainty the occurrence of these phenomena, Giuliani was not believed, indeed it was immediately denounced. Bertolaso ​​told him, “it takes an exemplary punishment for those idiots who enjoy spreading false news”

Talk about a researcher at the Laboratory of Gran Sasso, curse!

It is interesting to read the article entitled 5 requests to Giampaolo Giuliani

How can, I said, manage a crisis, which would generate a maddening detectors seismograph Vesuvius Observatory, due to an eruption and all that it would well, As would manage the evacuation in the most densely populated European Union?

Will miss a few heads, when this tragedy will? We discuss the bridge across the Strait in a country, with Japan, among the most earthquake in the world? What is your opinion?

Preload : script to keep it under control and speed up your operating system

in Ubuntu | | 2 Comments » | Last modified:


I'm not going to weave again the praises of Preload written by Behdad Esfahbod on the occasion of the thesis for his bachelor's and that over time has become a very handy utility for computers a little older…

Briefly, preload uses algorithms (described in his thesis and then refined) to see what are the most used applications, and predict, using a portion of the RAM memory, if they will be open again. in this case, applications (is. FireFox) They are pre-loaded into RAM, which it is infinitely faster than a hard drive (By way of example, a modern law to ram 6/7 GB / s against a HD that law to 70/80 MB/s !!!)

Some tests carried out by Techtrob:
