These days sensible DHCP daemons can be configured to assign a single IP to multiple MAC addresses. Probably the most common use case is a laptop that is connected to your LAN through wireless or wired for that gigabit goodness, but pretty much never with both adapters at the same time, eliminating concerns about clashing IPs. Having a single IP per machine not per adapter simplifies things greatly as soon as you have any apps on your network that push data towards your client computers (i.e. Growl notifications etc). Instead of having to configure your server-side apps for two IPs for every laptop, now you don’t have to care how your user is connected.

Maybe somone can explain what Apple’s idea of changing the keystore password from “changeit” to a radically different and cryptographically strong “changeme” is, except for the obvious goal of wasting my time having to google for it.

So yeah, here’s how you import that self-signed certificate that you need:

sudo keytool -import -alias some.host.com -keystore /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/lib/security/cacerts -file mycert.crt

Sissejuhatus

Asi algas järjekordse ID-kaardi faili moodi. Üks XP Home kast lihtsalt keeldus ID-kaardilt andmeid lugemast läbi tavalise USB OMNIKEY 1021 lugeja, samal ajal kõrval XP Pro läpakas sama lugejaga kõik toimib nagu õlitatult. Blogiks läheb, kuna mingi keskmisest rohkem ajuvaba asi oli katki läinud ja Google oli keskmisest tublisti vähem abiks. Võib-olla keegi teine nüüd säästab need mõttetult kulutatud tunnid oma elus.

I have recently implemented etckeeper and metastore to keep my Gentoo server:/etc directory under version control. Object of interest today is how to make a good git commit message regarding Gentoo’s /etc/make.conf and the long long USE flags (possibly multi-)line in there. Usually these USE flag changes happen in the process of reconfiguring some packages. I often don’t commit make.conf changes immediately and then after a few days can’t remember anymore what USE flags have changed and why to make a meaningful commit message.

Tänane TEDx Tallinn pani uurima kuidas internetiühendust mitte umbe tõmmata, kui mitu inimest tahavad mõnda webcasti vaadata. VLC on selleks väga hea – ta võimaldab videot ühte masinasse tõmmata ja samal ajal ennast kohtvõrgus videoserveriks teha.

Käsurida, mis mul praegu toimib:

vlc -vvv -I dummy http://mmm.elion.ee/tedx.asx –sout ‘#standard{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:18080}’

Kasutajaliidesest saab sama asja:

• File -> Streaming/Transcoding Wizard
• Stream to network
• Select a stream: http://mmm.elion.ee/tedx.asx
• Streaming method: HTTP, Destination: :18080
• ignoreeri Transcoding
• Encapsulation: asf
• ignoreeri Additional streaming options

Teised kohapealsed vaatajad avavad VLC-s või mis iganes media playeris:

http://sinu-masina-nimi-või-ip:18080

Port 18080 on suvaliselt valitud, peaks olema suht kindlasti teiste tarkvarade poolt kasutamata.
