Linux Based Handheld, Expandability?
September 20th, 2005Boing Boing has a post Linux-based handheld that’s “open, powerful and cheap”
It can play games. It can play your Movies. It can play your music. It can view photos. It can read Ebooks. It runs on just 2 AA batteries
Only question is expandability? Can I add a wireless card, a pigtail, and maybe a GSM module?
In other news, I’m off to VON today.
Log anonymizing patches
April 10th, 2005Riseup patches to keep various logging apps like syslog from recording IP addresses. Also
Additionally we’ve got a patch to postfix that anonymizes SMTP header lines that are sent through over a SASL authenticated SMTP connection. This is unnecessary information added for no apparant reason by Postfix, and we dont think its a nice thing to do to let everyone know what your home DSL connection is.
Nice! That was one of the few features about me Postfix which really bugged me. More info on imc-tech

Migrating Kwiki metabase/rcs
October 23rd, 2004A part of the protest.net’s recent move to a new server, we’ve moved towards less custom compiled packages, and a more standard Debian install. One of those changes was that apache no longer runs as the user ‘apache’, but rather as ‘www-data’. Well and fine, except Wifimug is using rcs to provide versioning, and every file is strictly locked by the user apache, who no longer exists. What to do?
First mass unlock all the files with:
sudo rcs -u *,v
Then mass re-lock with:
sudo -u www-data rcs -l *,v
Hat tip to Nat for pointing out the problem.
