Firefox 3.2 Alpha now out!

Firefox 3.2 Alpha release is now available! Not sure yet what is new with this release but I'm sure to give it a try, might break a lot of extensions though.

Dyndns not forwarding

This is odd is seems dyndns has stopped forwarding sitegeisha.dyndns.dk to my server, however I tried using SSH using sitegeisha.dyndns.dk and it work, also tried ftp and it worked, tried accessing using other ports and it also worked.

I also checked to see if port 80 was accessible from the outside and it was okay. http://www.canyouseeme.org/

WTF is going on???!!!

Youtube Cache with Squid + Lighttpd on Ubuntu

Fastest browser on earth!

I do hope you've already switched to Firefox or something a lot better than IE. However there is something else faster than Firefox at the moment and I JUST can't wait for it to get out of alpha/beta!!! It's Firefox Minefield

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

They got the fastest javascript engine in the planet at the moment, if you go give it a try enable JIT by typing about:config in the url bar and then search for jit. Then set:

javascript.options.jit.chrome;true
javascript.options.jit.content;true

And there you have it, you'll be surfing faster than Google Chrome, but if you want to test your extensions make sure you try and install the nightly addon to override the compatibility settings.

Lighttpd - light and fast web server

I've used IIS, then Apache on windows, then switched to LAMP and now I'm on LLMP and couldn't be much happier! Lighttpd lives up to its name, it is fast and easy on server resources. Learning it wasn't so bad, I actually found plenty of resources on the web and the configuration is actually much simpler than apache, also I didn't have to rely on webmin to configure it now.

Here's how I configured Lighttpd to run on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with xcache, memcache and mysql.

To be continued...

sitegeisha.servebbs.org BLOCKED again!!!

:( as of 6:00 am this morning Site Geisha was blocked from dyndns.org, this really makes me furious!!!! Does anyone here know of a DNS registration service that does not block adult forums? Please email at sitegeisha at gmail dat com.

I do apologize for this inconvenience I hope to get SG back up and running soon. Just remembered the original url got blocked when I started using OpenDNS service and now the new one is blocked again.

It's amazing, the best tool for recovering reiserfs is made for windows!

UFS Explorer just saved me, I was able to make an image of the failed drive, on my other pc with windows xp, I installed UFS Explorer. Then opened the image file that was shared on ubuntu over the network.

UFS Explorer scanned for the superblock and displayed all the folders I needed with the filenames intact and everything on that drive.I was then able to right click on each of them and copy it to a spare drive on the windows pc. It was so easy I now regret wasting so much time on those command line tools where you have to read several man pages just to get started.

I even asked for help on ubuntuforums, no luck. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=932922
