Exim4 in recent Debian GNU/Linux Lenny — Debian testing as of this writing — is quite easy to configure to use DKIM. The original implementation, DomainKeys, you’ve probably heard of. DKIM is the recent incarnation of DKIM and the one you’d want to implement today.
Building DKIM aware Exim4
First, you’ll want to build a [...]
If you’re stuck in a single IP world, you’ll find you frequently need to mount various Web services on top of your SSL host to ensure communications are encrypted. In many ways, SSL serves as a poor man’s VPN. (Although OpenVPN is ridiculously simple to set up, even with a certificate per client, [...]
The installation documentation is somewhat correct for 0.9.6.1. Actually, including the wiki, I count no less than four guides for handling installation of DAViCal. None of them are completely right. Scary, no?
Here’s a verified working procedure for installing DAViCal on Debian GNU/Linux Etch as of this writing. As indicated at the [...]
If you’ve recently migrated from Subversion to Git and you used a users alias file for your import, you might encounter the following:
jasonb@jasonb-laptop:~$ braid add -p http://rugb.rubyforge.org/svn/ext_scaffold \
–type svn
Adding svn mirror of ‘http://rugb.rubyforge.org/svn/ext_scaffold’.
Mirror ‘vendor/plugins/ext_scaffold/’ already has a remote. Skipping.
Resetting to ‘47d44fa’.
Shell error: could not fetch
Of course, what git is really saying, but it’s [...]
The short answer is no. Fortunately, the lengthy answer involves a compatibility library for mootools and a few additional options to legacy Json.Remote from mootools 1.11.
First, you’ll need to obtain the mootools 1.2 compatibility library, which includes an implementation of Json.Request that behaves in a manner conducive for sending JSON to an application server.
Next, [...]
While QBP 2006 is apparently unsupported by Intuit (surprise!), it is possible to install it on Windows Vista Home, 64-bit edition. I encountered two problems, with both solutions documented somewhere on a QB support site, but only viewable via the Google page cache. To ensure their availability, I am re-posting the steps here.
During [...]
While you can reencode MP3s fairly trivially with gnump3d, no limiting is applied. Whatever you’ve reencoded will be delivered to the client as quickly as it can accept the packets being sent. If your objective is to limit the stream to the neighborhood of the reencoded MP3’s new bitrate, you will need some [...]
Recently I discovered gnump3d. It supports downsampling, which is a feature I especially need. However, the example reencoding command for handling MP3s doesn’t seem to work. Instead, I am using a different variant.
downsample_medium_mp3 = \
/usr/bin/sox -t mp3 $FILENAME -t wav - | /usr/bin/toolame -b 128 - -
The original uses [...]
Since I deployed DokuWiki last fall, I’ve found it to be an excellent tool for managing documentation. It enhances the quality of the final documentation product whilest not getting in the way of writing it. I rather enjoy it.
I am now migrating some of my existing HOWTO documents over to the wiki. [...]
I so rarely use 3D on my Debian GNU/Linux desktop, I didn’t bother to verify it was working when I upgraded to Etch. Actually, it’s probably been busted since I moved to the unofficial Xorg in Sarge Backports in December. The Debian WiKi has the solution, essentially.
nx@faith:/home/.nx$ glxinfo | egrep “glx (vendor|version)”
