I've just started using Meteor, absolutely loving it so far, but having issues with atmospherejs.com.
For the last 3 days (the entire time I've been using Meteor) I haven't been able to search for any packages. Every time I try I get "SEARCH SERVER UNAVAILABLE, PLEASE TRY AGAIN."
Is this a regular thing that is to be expected, maybe due to high traffic, or am I doing something wrong?
Apologies for the non-code related question but I googled and couldn't find any results so I thought I'd ask the community that are using it regularly on here.
Many thanks!

I need an old copy of the software Postnuke. I’m aware it’s outdated and discontinued but need to use it locally to use & convert a site which used to use this software.
I managed to find it using SourceForge (the 0.76 version) but it keeps hanging on the installation and I’m getting errors that don’t seem fixable to me on the step of inserting data (around 80%).
If any of the devs are around I’d really appreciate any assistance they could give me on how to get the “Set Login” stage working of the installer, specifically the start_postnuke() function because it’s missing the language and other variables from the PNconfig variable that are preventing it from installing.
I’m aware this is tagged as a Zikula question but it’s the only way I can find to try and contact who I assume are the developers of Postnuke.
You are right. Postnuke is dead. It died so long ago that nobody has any expertise. I doubt very much that installing the software is possible or truly necessary. You must have a database with info you are trying to access. Simply access it with whatever tools you are most comfortable with and pull and modify the data as needed. (fyi - I'm a former postnuke dev and current zikula dev. I've used PN since 0.62, so I know what I'm talking about).
If you really want to give it a go on getting a working installation I would recommend using the same server stack components that were "modern" at the time 0.76 was released. Apache, php, mysql. It will probably work then.
Since that time a lot of php functions have been made obsolete, and even syntax changed such as array shorthand notation.
But if you use a stack that's contemporary to that version, it should work.
I am working as a Data Scientist for a small start up and we are using R as part of our platform for analysis, dashboards etc. Therefore, I need to ensure that we maintain security with each package we use and load.
I have looked around and done extensive searching and have come across the following links:
This is the official R Studio Blog Security update page.
This blog post shows how you can implement rJava to help with those packages that require it, though it does state that '...the integrity & safety of the R package ecosystem is still in the “trust me, everything’s 👍!!”'
This post gives some good advice for package security, but basically boils down to: if you get it from CRAN or another trusted source then it should be ok.
The CVE site lists vulnerabilities, though the last one was back in 2017.
However, all the above links essentially say the same thing, which is "if its from CRAN (or similar), then it is probably fine". Now this might indeed be the case, but I was hoping for something a bit more rigorous. Has anyone else come across this issue with production R deployment?
If possible, if someone could direct to where I might be able to find out more information on checking for security updates, breaches and changes for R packages, or how to go about testing the security myself, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
One month ago I submitted a pull request for what I believe is a backwards-compatibility break in Symfony 2.7:
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/15328
No one in the core team has reviewed it yet, which is surprising to me since I would have thought BC-breaks would be a high priority. I've read the contributing guidelines and followed them as best I can; the only problem I see is that it's not passing on HHVM for reasons that I don't think have to do with my change.
So my question is: have I missed some prerequisite for getting one's PR reviewed, or do I just need to quit whining and be patient?
I cannot talk on behalf of the core team or direct experience. In fact I should not talk at all :-)
But as an occasional open source maintainer myself, I see that there are 222 PRs open; as long as yours is failing the CI tests, I fear it will definitely get less attention than the others. Also it may have been triaged as a less important fix. Again, this is just IMHO.
I think you should really focus on fixing the broken CI test; you can ask another question here to get help.
I've been recently tasked with leading an effort to improve our input (and output) validation with OWASP recommendations and PCI compliance in mind. In the process, I'm trying to assess the value of the ESAPI.NET project which does not appear to have seen any activity since the spring of '09 and as it stands is incomplete.
Does anyone have experience using or extending ESAPI.NET v0.2? Is it a good starting place today for building out an infrastructure to address the targeted vulnerabilities?
FYI: I am looking at MS AntiXSS which, of course, only addresses a portion of ESAPI's scope. We already do a good job with SQL injection though there are improvements we need to make.
(If someone wants to create an ESAPI tag, feel free. I don't have the mojo.)
Looks like there were a couple updates last week: http://code.google.com/p/owasp-esapi-dotnet/source/list
You might contact one of the project leads on that list to ask what's going on.
NOTE: 05/26/2012: the last update on that project was dec 4, 2010. Yes, it is dead.
It looks like ESAPI is dead period. There's nobody using it, there are no questions, no forums, no information, nothing. The listservs (what is this, 1996?) are barren too. The documentation is terrible and the samples in the swingset don't work (server that installs is HTTP not HTTPS, and no transactions can be made in HTTP mode).
Seems to be a dead end project.
The project itself seems dead there are however some people who maintain a github copy with several (minor?) additions...

I am developing locally a site with drupal and suddenly it became very slow. The last thing I made was installing the internationalization module.
Now when I try to reach administration panel I receive:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded...
What to do now? Should I increase the maximum execution time allowed? OR could be that I have too many modules installed?
EDIT: Forgot to tell you that I am working on a PC with 2GB RAM and CPU 2.9 GHz, Windows XP + XAMPP
Exceeding 60 seconds execution time is quite something - indicates that something is going quite wrong.
I'd start troubleshooting by disabling modules (physically moving them out of your modules directory) one at a time until the problem goes away. Then, add them back one at a time, until the problem returns (you'll need to re-enable them through the Modules page as you go). You should be able to quickly isolate exactly which module is causing the problem.
Since the last thing you did was to install internationalization, I'd start by disabling that module.
Once you've isolated the module, you can try to work out what's going wrong.
Some things to look into ...
is your database running out of space
Are you missing any indexes
Do you need to "update statistics" (rebuild metrics on table contents and column distributions)
The Devel module can be useful for logging performance statistics, to help you track down the bottleneck.
A php accelerator may help you get the time down a bit, there are also a number of caching options that your site can use (look in admin under performance), this may make developing more difficult but can make pages load faster.
I wouldn't increase your maximum execution time, at some stage you want to put your site wide, and if people don't get a page within a second or so they will think the site is down.
To have too many modules installed you would have to have a lot of modules, it is more likely that one of your modules is causing a performance bottleneck. Or something on your site like a view is causing things to slow down. mattv's answer helps with that.
try also activating the cache system under site settings / performance. It could be helpful.
there is a known and documented problem about massive queries getting dynamically built by the Views module when rebuilding the dynamic menu, apparently.
Unfortunately, no simple and definitive answer has been found, yet.
You can find more information here (please be aware that some answers relate to version 5).
I would really like to know how to fix this in a definitive and efficient manner.
