Amateur Extra Upgrade

So I finally upgraded my Amateur Radio License to Amateur Extra.  It took my 22 years to go from Technician to General to Extra.  I highly recommend the ARRL study guides if your looking to upgrade yourself.

Transmission WebGUI Connection Problem

After a recent update to Transmission BT I was unable to connect to the WebGUI using the FQDN.  After a bit of Googling I found someone else with the same issue.  My fix was pretty simple on CentOS, I just had to modify /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Towards the bottom you'll see:

"rpc-host-whitelist": "", "rpc-host-whitelist-enabled": true,

I just had to add my FQDN to the rpc-host-whitelist as follows:

"rpc-host-whitelist": "*.mydomain.tld", "rpc-host-whitelist-enabled": true,

Make sure you stop transmission-daemon before edit settings.json and restart it when your done.

Shannon Morse has a great 30 Day Security Challenge over on her site.  The best advice on the whole thing is defiantly "Don't click on shit. Be skeptical."
