The management and optimization of your Windows PC is not an easy job, unless you are a tech savvy who masters the console and writes mini programs in order to solve daily problems. Let’s face it though; the new technology’s whole purpose is to make our lives easier, not to teach us all how to write code.

Over the last few weeks we have been working on getting the repositories and related bits in place so that the Storage SIG is able to release Gluster packages for general consumption. I am pleased to announce that the majority of the requested versions are now available. Users can now simple install Gluster on CentOS 6 and 7 with only these two commands: # yum install centos-release-gluster # yum install glusterfs-server The centos-release-gluster content comes from the centos-release-gluster37 package delivered via CentOS Extras repos. This contains all the metadata and dependancy information, needed to install Gluster 3.7. For people looking at running Gluster 3.6, we will soon also release a centos-release-gluster36 package. In order to get this version, substitute the step-1 mentioned above with : yum install centos-release-gluster36. A new announcement will be posted once this content has been tested and released. We have a quickstart guide specifically built around the packages we are releasing today, it makes for a good introduction to Gluster and will help get you started in just a few simple steps, this quick start is available at https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart More details about the packages that the Gluster project provides in the Storage SIG is available in the documentation: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster The centos-release-gluster* repositories offer additional packages that enhance the usability of Gluster itself. Users can request additional tools and applications to be provided, just send us an email with your suggestions. The current list of packages that is (planned to become) available can be found here: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster/Ecosystem-pkgs Gluster is the first project that provides packages through the Storage SIG. Other projects are in the process to do so too. General information about the SIG can be read in the wiki: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage We welcome all feedback, comments and contributions. You can get in touch with the CentOS Storage SIG on the centos-devel mailing list ( https://lists.centos.org ) and with the Gluster developer and user communities at https://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo , we are also available on irc at #gluster on irc.freenode.net, and on twitter at < at >gluster .

Hi @ll,
almost all executable installers (and self-extractors as well
as “portable” applications too) for Windows have a well-known
(trivial, trivial to detect and trivial to exploit) vulnerability:
they load system DLLs from their “application directory” (or a
temporary directory they extract their payload to) instead of
“%SystemRoot%System32”.

III. PROOF OF CONCEPT…
If your child has a smartphone then it’s likely that they’ve installed one of the many different social networks that place photos as their primary way of communication. It seems almost unthinkable that a few years ago we weren’t all worrying about the best angle for a selfie or whether to snap a quick picture of our food to upload to Instagram before it goes cold.
A photo and video messaging app that has seen a huge surge in popularity is Snapchat. This app, which is primarily aimed at a younger audience, allows users to send videos and images to their contacts with the premise that these messages will be automatically eliminated after a few moments. Users set a time limit for how long recipients can view their Snaps (as of September 2015, the range is from 1 to 10 seconds) after which Snapchat claims they will be deleted from the company’s servers.
However, the application has seen some worrying issues relating to its security. For example, just last year the credentials of 4.6 million U.S. Snapchat users, such as usernames and phone numbers, were made public on the Internet. Despite introducing a new two-step verification process to help boost the app’s security, here are a few things to keep in mind before you let your child get too snap-happy.
Even though your child might think that they are sending the picture of video to their friends, remind them that the app has been hacked in the past and that if it happens again, their images could be made public. So advise them not to send something they wouldn’t want the whole world to see.
Despite the notion that pictures sent to contacts expire automatically after a set period of time, there are various ways around this and it’s worth pointing it out to your children.
For example, users are often able to take screenshots of photos and videos which are intended to be ephemeral using standard screen capture features on their smartphone or even by using special software to save the image.
So after following the above steps, next is to ensure that a stranger can’t send your child unsuitable images or contact them. To change the settings to ensure that only their friends can send them messages, tap the ghost icon at the top of the screen to access your child’s profile, then tap the gear cog icon in the upper-right corner, under the Settings menu go to “Receive Snaps from…” and ensure that it says “My Friends” instead of “Everyone”.
Finally, if someone has been harassing your child you can delete and block them from the same section of the menu as the step above. You can also write to [email protected] and they will resolve the issue. If still don’t feel comfortable letting your child use the app, you can delete their account and entering the username and password.
Remember, no matter how much freedom you want to allow your children when using social media, it always pays to keep them informed of the dangers it can pose, too.
