Internet.org

                                                        Internet.org

Internet.org is a non-profitable oraganisation founded by facebook and six other companies to bring affordable access to internet services to less developed countries by increasing efficiency, and facilitating the development of new business models around the provision of Internet access.

It has been criticized for violating net neutrality and favouring facebook's own services. An Indian journalist criticized it as" being just a Facebook proxy targeting India's poor" as it provides restricted Internet access to Reliance Telecom's subscribers in India.However, in early May 2015, Facebook announced that this platform would be opened to websites that met its criteria.

Internet.org was launched on August 20, 2013. At the time of launch, Facebook's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a ten-page whitepaper he had written elaborating on the vision        where he wrote that Internet.org was a further step in the direction of Facebook's past initiatives, such as Facebook Zero, to improve Internet access for people around the world. He also said that "connectivity is a human right.

An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The TLS connection request has failed.

If the certificate being used on the server was generated using the Legacy Key option in the certificate request form, the private key for that certificate will be stored in Microsoft's legacy Cryptographic API framework. When the web server tries to process requests using its new, Cryptographic Next Generation (CNG) framework, it appears that something related to the RSA private key stored in the legacy framework is unavailable to the new framework. As a result, the use of the RSA cipher suites is severely limited. To avoid the issue, you can try to generate the certificate request using the CNG Key template in the custom certificate request wizard.

SQL Server

                                                                     SQL Server  Its been a while that I have updated my blog. Though Databases and SQL was something that I used to stay away as much as possible because for some reasons, I got to work on these all the day for 8-9 hours and sometimes haunting in the nights and weekends as well. However, it has been a good journey so far and I found some interesting stuff in SQL Server. So, this triggered an idea a couple of weeks back to share some cool stuff that I am learning in SQL Server over numerous sources. Hope I can make this a good series. As there are not much visitors to my blog, let me start with wishing me a good luck. So, here starts the SQL Server Series!!!!!!

Tail Log Backups

Tail log backups capture the tail of the log even if the database is offline, damaged, or missing data files. This might cause incomplete metadata from the restore information commands and msdb. However, only the metadata is incomplete; the captured log is complete and usable. If a tail-log backup has incomplete metadata, in the backupset table, has_incomplete_metadata is set to 1. Also, in the output of RESTORE HEADERONLY, HasIncompleteMetadata is set to 1. To create a tail log backup, use below script BACKUP LOG [DB Name]    TO [TLog_Device_Location]      WITH NO_TRUNCATE;   GO Scenarios That Require a Tail-Log Backup If the database is online and you plan to perform a restore operation on the database, begin by backing up the tail of the log. To avoid an error for an online database, you must use the ... WITH NORECOVERY option of the BACKUP Transact-SQL statement. If a database is offline and fails to start and you need to restore the database, first back up the ta
