TLS extension to support multiple certificates for virtualhosts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication
Server Name Indication (SNI) means that a compatible TLS client can send a hostname (aka. "server_name" field) in it's Client Hello message to the server indicating what virtualhost it wants to connect to and a compatible server can pick the right TLS certificate from it's configuration. This extension to the TLS standard aims to solve the SSL/TLS vs. single-IP virtualhosts problem.

Validate XML documents via a bookmarklet

Fri, 2015.03.06 - 20:10 — müzso
I've attached a simple HTML file that contains a textarea and some JavaScript. You can paste any text into the textarea and pressing the button will invoke the browser's XML parser and test whether the text is a valid XML document.

I've also modified the JavaScript code so it can be used as a bookmarklet: Verify XML

Just drag&drop the link to your bookmarks bar, select some text on a page and click the bookmark(let) to validate it as an XML document.

For me only SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver had to be disabled. All other activities, receivers and services with a name starting with "SystemUpdate" were already disabled. I used ADB + "pm disable" to disable this one component.
Here is a list of commands to disable all SystemUpdate "stuff" via ADB (of course it requires a rooted phone with some sort of "su" installed):
