Telenet Prime opzeggen

| Wednesday, 2 June, 2010

Telenet is de laatste tijd over het algemeen goed bezig, vind ik. Weinig technische storingen, zeker met internet. De digibox/-corder meestal ‘just works‘ – er is altijd reden om te klagen natuurlijk, en het zou een stuk opener mogen en zo, maar in the end wil ik gewoon iets dat werk, en dat doet het […]

Sabam & Pirates

| Monday, 10 May, 2010

“Elk jaar loopt Sabam 13,8 miljoen euro mis door de gratis verspreiding van film en muziek via het internet”, zegt Thierry Dachelet van Sabam. “De internetproviders zagen hun inkomsten de voorbije jaren dan weer sterk stijgen.” Now why does this sound familiar? O yeah, Pirates and Global Warming.

ldap pam authentication exclusively for openvpn only

| Friday, 23 April, 2010

I needed to implement ldap authentication and authorsiation for an openvpn setup which until now used a simple password file. Lots of howto’s tell you to update the standard PAM login service to use ldap, and to have openvpn use that login service for authentication. I expect in most cases you’ll probably just want to […]

| Friday, 26 February, 2010

update 16 March: fixed the hardware specs I’m working on doing some tests to compare different virtualisation technologies. Whilst those tests are far from finished, I got some numbers this afternoon who give a quick first impression. What is being tested here? Running some specific processes Timing how long they run On a virtual guest […]

Gnome evolution suxorz

| Saturday, 26 December, 2009

Gnome evolution: Actually, this was triggered by clicking a mailto: link, whilst I hadn’t fixed Gnome’s default behaviour of launching evolution, so I just closed the mail dialog Window, but evolution seems to insist on staying running persistently. But I don’t even use this freaky program. I only configure my Google Calendar to have it […]

VMWare open backup tool

| Tuesday, 22 December, 2009

I’ve been looking for several backup solutions for VMWare lately, which is quite a depressing task, imho. Being a proprietary tool, VMWare has a problem in common with Windows: it’s full off proprietary API’s you have to go through to be able to pull a backup. Also, whilst VMWare (ESX, but in practice also ESXi) […]

Godsdienst-tweet

| Saturday, 28 November, 2009

Hoewel ik het zelf vanop de smoelenboek gehaald heb, zou ik dit nu normaal op Twitter gooien. Gezien het risico om als Twitteraar (nvdr: marginale internetmens) slechts de in-crowd te bereiken, geef ik liever voorkeur aan de in-crowd alhier – ik denk graag dat het hier minder marginaal is. Dus, bij deze, hierna mijn less-than-140-chars […]
