My ISP wants 20$ per month for a static IP. My VPS provider only charges 1 Euro. i guess it depends wheter they bought blocks early on...

The EU's court has ruled that dynamic IPs can no longer be stored by websites without there being a explicit reason like protecting the website against attacks. The plaintif (a member of the german pirate party) has argued that by storing his IP a website owner could over time build up a profile of his interests and should therefore be counted as "personal data" and be protected as such. Since the EU has begun enforcing stricter policies on cookies (such as having a banner that warns users that they are being tracked) it has been increasingly difficult for website operators to track its customers for statistics and advertising purposes. In its argument, the EU court has emphasized the legitimate need of website owners to guard against cyberattacks and that it views storing each visitors IP as a reasonable means to ensure cybersecurity. It is therefore likely that dynamic IPs will still be stored going forward, but only for administrative purposes, not for statistics and marketing. as ArsTechnica notes: " The case now goes back to the German Federal Court of Justice, which will make its judgment based on the CJEU's opinion. Given the top court's reasoning, it seems likely that Breyer won't be granted an injunction restraining Germany's federal sites from storing data about his visits.

Millions of Firefox user might be vulnerable to a new kind of exploit. It uses a weakness in Mozillas Browser: lacking compartmentalisation of extensions. By using the capabilities and privileges of one or more of the vulnerable extensions, attacker could force a Browser to open a Website containing malicous content and eventually execute arbitrairy code on the victim's machine. Of the top 10 most popular add-ons vetted by Mozilla officials and made available on the Mozilla website, only Adblock Plus was found to contain no flaws. The Attack seem to be in the proof-of-concept stage, there are no reports of the vulnerability being exploited in the wild. EDIT: For the attack to be properly executed, a victim would have to download a compromised add-on in the first place. The Ball is now in Mozilla's park since only a proper vetting of extensions would lead to a short-term resolution of the problem.

Linus - Production value is not everything. I like that your main set is a kitchen. Don't get me wrong, it is not the reason i watch your videos, nor will i stop watching them if you moved out of the kitchen. But it seems to me that your point for moving is a bit too focused on the kitchen thing and it seem to me that you are overstressing that point. That being said i hope the best for your future and wish that the investments you have made in the company were not in vain. I hope you get your new location, bronze gaben (praised be his name) included

The Filesystem is Formatted in BTRFS. Usage: I use the storage for movies and series, it has SickBeard and CouchPotato with Transmission set up on it, so that populates my Libraries. i have XBMC and Plex running on a dedicated Machine. I also use the NAS for practically all my files and Backup for my PCs Backup: Important Files are backed up both on Dropbox and Google Drive. Additional info: There is a PCIe Slot in the DS 1817+ that is much talked about. It could host either a 10GbE NIC or a M.2 SSD. In my setup it is currently unpopulated, since the troughput or read access time is not an issue for me at the moment.
