Quoting the project homepage: Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s). It really rocks, especially as it works for Linux/Unix […]

Am 28.01.2007 habe ich eine grml-Userbefragung ausgeschrieben. Am 9. Juni habe ich dann die Evaluierung abgeschlossen und Mails an alle Teilnehmer geschickt. Die detaillierte Auswertung zur grml-Benutzerumfrage findet man im grml-Wiki. Warum ich das jetzt eigentlich schreibe? Weil es eine sehr interessante Erfahrung war. Aber mal von Anfang an…. Die erste Version von grml gab […]

Die PDF-Spamwelle dieser Tage hat wohl jeder Mailserver-Admin mitbekommen (siehe Heise: "Nach Bild-Spam nun PDF-Spam"). Ich habe das zum Glück sehr zeitnahe bemerkt und die Welle schon direkt am Mailserver unterbunden. Die Zahlen für die letzten 2 Tage auf einem einzelnen Mailserver sprechen für sich selbst: # grep -c ‘PDF-Spam detected’ /var/log/mail.log* /var/log/mail.log:1006 /var/log/mail.log.0:1272 Dieses […]

Mein Internetzugang über den Virtuellen Campus Graz (VCG) stinkt dank der Einführung eines Intrustion Prevention Systems (IPS) von McAfee seitens der TU Graz ohne Ende. Nicht nur diverse Ports, sondern auch jeglicher Bittorrent-Traffic und sogar das Tor-Netzwerk werden gefiltert. Das betrifft übrigens nicht nur den VCG, sondern (teilweise) auch die TU Graz als Ganzes. Man […]

Hopefully fuzz testing is well known nowadays, right? But did you check how smart your software can handle ENOSPC – the ‘No space left on device’ error? I like stress testing software (to be honest: no, not really). Yesterday I debugged a problem regarding zsh history writing on ENOSPC. Usually I use the grml Linux […]

I wrote a small python webpage for the grml-wiki to provide some information regarding Python-development on grml. I just upgraded Vim on my main system to version 7.1 and omnicompletion with vim-python became better once more. So time for a short demo of ctrl-x-o: I also very much like ‘%ed’ within ipython using the following […]

Linuxdays in vienna were fun (as usual). Lessons learnt: stfl (Structured Terminal Forms Language/Library) is definitely worth a look (thanks for the great talk and the nice discussions at the grml booth, clifford!) thanks to the inclusion of grml-x in rocklinux now zsh will become part of rocklinux (yeah!) the filter language feature of the […]
