14.3 Calendar Text Entry Extends Below Windows + Update Check Failure Notice

Ralf, Nathan, All,

With 14.3 and Firefox 38.3, the text entry part of the calendar dialog
extends way down below the bottom of the dialog causing you to have to scroll
5-6 full screens to reach the buttons on the bottom. All of the calendar dialog
is that way. See

(**Note: if you cannot reach the image, let me know, I may need to unblock your
IP address from within iptables. Most of RIPE/AFRINIC and APNIC are blocked for
security reasons)

Next, when I log in, there is an orange star next to my name that tells me
the update check failed and I need to update manually? I use the svn install if
that makes any difference. Here is what I see:

(**same Note:)

Is there a setting I need to set somewhere to turn the check off?

Ha! It’s more like what hasn’t RIPE tried to do to my servers

Truth is, I’ve had mediawiki compromised, thousands of unauthorized access
attempts weekly, etc…, etc… with 99% originating from those address blocks.
Since I don’t have legal business with that side of the planet, I just got the
IANNA address blocks for those regions and blocked them – completely. The
number of nefarious attempts to compromise my servers dropped to almost zero
immediately, and I sleep a whole lot better at night…

Sad when even major software providers have to put out notice of address blocks
for systems to work anymore (see e.g.:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn175718.aspx)

I dropped all but the top 40 offending address blocks. Give the links in the
original post a try. If you are still blocked, shoot me your IP or at least the
relevant first few designators and I’ll open it further.

Thanks.

Having an admin hat on, I sympathize … however, if these are logged, maybe
fail2ban might help even better? That does set blacklist per-ip based on log parse
(maybe not as complete replacement but as an addition)
(there are distributions that sport this program as default)

That’s sort-of their equivalent of letting their systems/admins know the known-good locations…
ones that would be ‘unlikely’ to get a rogue packets from. Meaning probably their systems
would trust these /a bit more/ than just the ordinary Joe Bloggs. Meaning these would have
real difficulty to be spoofed otherwise than through global network-down event.

Well I don’t want to make you loose your sleep,
another ‘easy’ (I suppose) way would be for you to let the Internet Archive robot to archive/access your site
(atm it says it can’t cause of robots.txt) - the rest of the world can use this as a proxy to view…
(I tried)

Thanks.

Hope this helps
