openvpn over ipv6 patch

It's baaaack. :)

Thanks to the support from my employer as 20% project, I'm (back) working on openvpn support for ipv6 endpoints (aka udp6, tcp6).

You can find the initial re-release, over openvpn-2.1_rc19

(latest as of Sep'09) at:

http://github.com/jjo/openvpn-ipv6

, obviously available as a git repository but also as a patch

snapshots at:

http://github.com/jjo/openvpn-ipv6/downloads

I'm pretty happy with this release, it has passed my unittests for {loopback,remote}{udp,tcp}{4,6} and also -it's valgrind friendly ;)

Enjoy it ! ... I'll post it to openvpn-devel ~soon.

Being a somewhat tech-savvy guy I am, I was scared to become aware of this _that_ late, evidently media companies are doing a very good job here also :P.

The mineral (Tantalum) inside the small capacitors used in these tiny electronic devices is fueling the worst contemporary humanitarian crisis in the world, with about 5.4 millon deaths so far.

No further presentation needed since you already have it in your pocket, meet "Coltan".

¡ Quién puede ser sino el maeeeessstrooo Capusotto ! :)

Bastante tarde lo encontré, por cierto ... el loco tiene un programa de radio en Rock&Pop: "Lucy en el cielo con Capusottos".

Afortunadamente para los que no podemos escucharlo en vivo (zona horaria, en mi caso), un ilustre compatriota ha ido guardando los programas :)

Que lo disfruten ... , en mi caso tuve que parar el play, para contener el ataque de risa :-O

PD: el siguiente script resulta útil para taggear los archivos, de manera que queden amigables para tu PMP.

id3v2-lucy_con_capus.sh:

# ./id3v2-lucy_con_capus.sh:
#  aplica id3v2 tag a todos los Lucy*.mp3 del directorio actual. 
# ej: 
#  Lucy_en_el_cielo_con_Capusottos_1er_Programa_by_vamosmillo2.mp3 
# , tomara el primer "conjunto" de numeros para usarlo como nro de track
album="Lucy en el cielo con Capusottos"
for i in Lucy*.mp3;do
  track="$(echo "$i" | sed -n -r 's/^[^0-9]+([0-9]+).*/\1/p')"
  track=$(printf "%02d" $track)
  title="${i%%by*}"
  title="${title/?con?Capusottos/...}"
  title="${title//_/ }"
  (set -x
    id3v2 -y 2009 -t "$title" -A "$album" -a Capusotto -T $track "$i"
  )
done

select chromium, chrome else firefox as default browser

Now that google-chrome requete-alpha build is published by Google [1], I have this
handy script as my default browser "selector":

#!/bin/bash
#
# $HOME/bin/browser.sh
# Author: JuanJo ( juanjosec O gmail o com  )
#
#   if running, try: chromium-browser, google-chrome
#   else:            firefox
#
case "$(ps -oargs= -C chrome)" in
 /usr/lib/chromium-browser*)
   exec /usr/bin/chromium-browser "$@";;
 /opt/google/chrome*)
   exec /opt/google/chrome/chrome "$@";;
esac
exec /usr/bin/firefox "$@"
exit $?

# Point2 me with the output from:
for p in /desktop/gnome/{applications/browser/exec,url-handlers/http{,s}/command}; do
 echo gconftool-2 -s $p -t string "$HOME/bin/browser.sh \"%s\""
done

ads blocking in chromium-browser

ads blocking in chromium-browser

One key missing functionality in chromium is extensibility via browser extensions or user scripts, damn useful in particular for blocking ads.
Although the support is there in the dev channel, it had been not available in the ppa binary debs for a while, but about ~2days ago user scripts started working ... yAY!! \o/

To the point:

dpkg -l chromium-browser # version: 3.0.183.0~svn200905 Chromium browser
mkdir $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/User\ Scripts  # yep, nasty white space :P
cd $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/User\ Scripts
wget http://www.adsweep.org/AdSweep.user.js  # ala adblock

# ... and then start chromium as:
chromium-browser --enable-user-scripts

To confirm you have it enabled, visit http://www.adsweep.org/ && you'll see a red status line, up-right, with the adsweep script version.

chromium-browser with bookmark keywords

I've been enjoooying chromium-browser on */Linux since last ~3weeks, you'll find lotsa references out there on howto install it, in my ubuntu it boils down to:

echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chromium.list
#echo "Acquire::http::Proxy::ppa.launchpad.net DIRECT;" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/85launchpad
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4E5E17B5
apt-get update
apt-get install chromium-browser

One important functionality I was missing was the ability to create "%s" bookmarks (ala firefox), the nice thing is that it's actually support, tho not "fancy" at the moment because of laking bookmark editor (May/09).
Good news is that you can actually ride it via sql:

#!/bin/bash
# Author: JuanJo
# License: GPLv2+
# Usage: (chromium-browser must not be running)
#   ./chromium-browser_keywords.sh ## *see* it, then:
#   ./chromium-browser_keywords.sh | sqlite3 $HOME/.config/chromium/Default/Web?Data
# Goodies:
# at the address bar type eg:
#   yh tate
#   wa theta
#   rae teta
#   bspot juanjosec

KEYWORDS="
yh http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%s
wa http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%s
rae http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=%s
bspot http://%s.blogspot.com
#foo http://%s.foo.com/
"
while read k url;do
  case "$k" in ""|\#*) continue;;esac
  echo -n "INSERT INTO keywords (short_name, keyword, favicon_url, url) "
  echo "VALUES ('$k','$k','about:blank','$url');"
done < <(echo "$KEYWORDS"| sed 's/%s/{searchTerms}/') 

Incidentally nuff, I'm now at a roaming session I need to last +4hs, so I closed my ff-3.1b3 cpu toaster and left riding entirely on chrome-browser (who needs flash after all ?).
