Linux and sound … failure expected
With what I’ve written before, I thought, using the same things after a recreation of my system should give me a surround sound system.
It was one of the funniest things that ever happened to me.
Improved mplayer with ffmpeg-mt for ordered chapters
The method described in my previous post is still working, but there are several issues regarding ffmpeg-mt and mplayer.
1. That mplayer includes a libass version old enough to have been written at the same time the pharaos were born
2. That git version for ffmpeg-mt isn’t compiling properly and it needs a git reset to an older version.
3. Outdated.
4. I wanted to write a new post :p
mplayer, ffmpeg-mt && ordered chapters
Outdated, for the new recommended way check this post.
I’ve recognized it first, while I was watching K-On!, released by Chihiro. Prior to watching K-On!, I thought, it was just a little special by some groups for those viewers, that don’t like watching openings and endings with each and every episode.
While I was fetching the torrents for the widescreen releases, I looked around the page and read in their FAQ:
Tor, Privoxy, Squid – a little HowTo
Why did I take this step? Well, there are several reasons for using the Tor-Network.
The most important one to me is, I want to use the World Wide Web as an information source and want every bit of information, when I’m searching for something. I don’t need someone like the German BKA to tell me, which information I’m allowed to see and which not.
So, according to the guide at howtoforge.com, I’ve created my own local Tor node for my home network. (Besides I’ve been configuring a server to act as a relay a little while ago)
Update:
Still working with the following versions:
net-misc/tor-0.2.2.6_alpha (for x in the following: 0.2.0.35< x <0.2.2.6-alpha => x is buggy)
net-proxy/privoxy-3.0.12
Fetchmail Cyrus-SASL Postfix Imap -> Email System @ Home
Just wanted to leave a great guide for creating a fully functional email service within your home network.
