TUX web server

“While only being able to serve static web pages could be seen as a significant disadvantage, TUX has one significant advantage: it is able to serve pages faster than traditional web servers. This is largely due to its place directly within the kernel, where it can improve performance by taking advantage of facilities not available to traditional web servers, which run outside of the kernel. However, this also means that TUX does not generate dynamic content. Because it is running within the kernel, such dynamic content cannot take advantage of functions that the kernel provides to userspace programs, and would create tremendous security issues.”

Dtrace, Apple and "security"

Apple added Dtrace to Leopard - thats a really great tool - watch the google video about it if you haven’t already. The wierd thing is that Apple altered dtrace so that some programs (like iTunes) can’t be traced…

How to tell rhytmbox/banshee/hal to recognize your mp3 player ? (if it doesn't)

In the root driectory of the mp3 player create a file:

.is_audio_player

with the contents

audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORD/

where MUSIC/ and RECORD/ are the dirs where you keep mp3 files. It works great with my Sansa Clip (nifty little player btw).

Sxipper

“Sxipper is a free Firefox add-on that lets you log in to any website with a single click.” Sxipper auto fills forms , has mutliple personas , integrates nicely with firefox, uses openid , temporary passwords, temporary email adresses ( now free but will be part of PRO service). It’s a really great add-on. A must have!
