Port Knocking

Remember when you used to only open the door when a certain pattern of knocks was heard? You can do the same with ports – the so-called “Port Knocking”. It provides another layer of security to your system as ports are not opened until the correct knocking pattern is received.

Haven’t installed or tried this myself, but may do over the weekend.

Sintel, Big Buck Bunny and Tears of Steel on Wuaki

Wuaki is a streaming service like Netflix, Love Film and Amazon Prime. I found it when I was clicking through the apps on my Panasonic Viera TV, and found that the three Blender-made short films were all there. You can also access them on the web interface. Oh, and they’re free to rent and watch, so you can’t get better than that.

Bouncers often get a lot of stick for not doing their jobs, or throwing drunken or rowdy customers out, but this proves that some people take their job very seriously, and put themselves in the line of fire.
