Have you closed all Windows - stories from stoeps

Welcome @stoeps.de, the blog of Christoph Stoettner

I work at Vegard IT GmbH as a senior consultant with a focus on collaboration software, Kubernetes, security and automation. I mainly deal with HCL Connections, WebSphere Application Server, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform and Linux.

Sometimes my daily work results in technical talks and blog articles, which you can follow here more or less regularly. You can find the presentations in the main menu under public speaking .

I created a list of tools I use regularly, most of which have been released under an open source license.

In my spare time I read a lot, test all kinds of technical software and gadgets and try to follow about 200 RSS feeds.
Here you can find a collection of them.

This is my private blog, all opinions are my own.

Britische Polizei soll private und geschäftliche Computer hacken dürfen

Ich dachte eigentlich, daß die Briten nicht mehr viel tun können, um eine allumfassende Überwachung auf die Beine zu stellen. Aber die neueste Idee finde ich sehr bedenklich. Ohne richterliche Anordnung soll es Polizei und Geheimdienst erlaubt sein, in Rechner einzudringen. Dies wird unter dem verniedlichendem Begriff “Remote Searching” auch von einem EU Council gedeckt. […] The hacking is known as “remote searching”. It allows police or MI5 officers who may be hundreds of miles away to examine covertly the hard drive of someone’s PC at his home, office or hotel room. […] Zitat aus: Times Online Hier wird wieder unter dem Deckmantel, daß eine EU-Richtlinie umgesetzt wird, ein Bürgerrecht mit Füßen getreten.

Domino Configuration Tuner and Vista’s UAC Don’t Mix

Es gibt ein Problem beim Einrichten von DCT unter Vista mit aktiviertem UAC. Man sollte bei der Erstkonfiguration das UAC (falls nicht sowieso deaktivert) besser ausschalten. On XP or a Vista machine with UAC turned off this is no problem, the files are deployed and you are prompted to restart your Notes client but with UAC turned on it runs into a bit of an issue, the files to be deployed to the Notes executable directory don’t get deployed and because it’s the notes client trying to put the file onto the hard drive the usual UAC prompt does not pop up.
