Funny Baby Card Message

Bay Magnetic





Sometimes you do not understand if you go forward or back:-D. The Mule is, the Mule is wrong, you have to go to the torrent, sawing the server, the Mule is better with Kad but is slow, the Bay is under attack, the Pirates are on the run .... Then a sudden stops, turns around and says: Stop! Now we have really wrecked ..... the tracker! :-D

Summary: The Pirate Bay, tired of going to court and not as it should monetize its business, shifting gears and

kills the torrent, and that's the beauty of the thing called on other sites tracker to do so as soon as possible.
To what end? Simple. Go once and for all
the magnet link
, that is, a decentralized system

multi-component which does not serve the file. torrent to download a file, but a hash

, that is the code assigned to the file to download.
The system, through the

DHT or Distributed Hash Tables

, allows you to connect to a bootstrap node

and from there to a set of nodes for the identification of
peers who can provide the hash searched. In practice, does the same thing does. Torrent, but without the. Torrent and without server support for tracking, in other words, achieves the same result
without breaking the law (and Is that enough):-P. So when they come to a page where you need a content, and this can be downloaded via magnet links, click on it with confidence, you will not be attached to the mouse or the keyboard.
The only negative is that you can get the browser to tell you that your loved one does not know how to open the link as
Protocol "

magnet" is not associated with any application
.
With Firefox and Opera no problem. First procuriamoci application that can handle such a protocol. I in Fedora, Gnome or KDE that is, use KTorrent

: it is valid, it is simple, it has a intuitive. Of course everyone has their own tastes. In this case, however, KTorrent (currently v. 3.3.1) does not support the protocol "magnet" (indeed, it is better to say that to me does not work, as some argue
going while others do not, and There is a lot of people likely around ...:-D), so I decided to fall back on standard Fedora repository, simple and intuitive, and supports the magnet.


Once installed yumex

, enter the reference in Firefox this:
the address bar type about: config and press enter step 1 right click -> key insert a "new" -> Boolean -> name:
network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet with value -> true dates and enter step 2 add another key Right "new" -> String -> name: network.protocol-handler.app.magnet with value ->
deluge and enter the dates
assigning a key step in the value False, when you click the magnet link Firefox will ask which application you want to associate the protocol. For
Opera the mechanism is:
menu Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Programs

click on "add " and the "Protocol " enter the term in the action while magnet selected " open with another application "and type
/ usr / bin / deluge
(or go there with the" browse )
Good magnet link all :-) PS 05/02/201
0
Update: Mozilla's addons among Magnetiser 0.9 that achieves essentially the same result.

Japanese Wedding Greetings

Linux! Linux! Linux! Fedora 12


How to evoke a great white ... :-D
Then, a few friends experienced problems in being able to enjoy the game of common favorite team (yes, I've not yet mentioned, is the legendary Genoa, and I am a appassionatissimo Griffin) trying to buy the service Mediaset Premium (I really wanted to write more commonly, but then I end up closing the blog).
Score: money spent (bad) game and followed by radio, and now that there are rattellano the phone with poor underpaid workers who know nothing and can do nothing. Maccome, you may say, with all that is streaming on the net? The objection was (do not be offended Giulione, if given in full: you know I respect you ;-)): (talking about TVU) "Some time ago I had it installed but then I have antivirus and spyware that had infected not reported only the PC but also your TV, washing machine and the grill! Seriously sometimes seen but is a repository of junk information that pollute the computer. " Yeah, we are privileged and maybe some of those protocols do not run on Linux, but we can do better, and here comes the sense of reflection that I report in this post.
Most users of a PC / laptop / netbook statistically using the instrument mainly for the following functions:
- Networking
especially the browser, like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Safari, Chrome, or unfortunately (especially for those who use it), Internet Explorer.
The browser has already replaced many of the specific applications (with the browser and its plugins are already manages the web with its beautiful forum, social networking (propane, imo the end of this facebook is ), the mail The gaming network, blogging, usenet, photos, multimedia files, file sharing, drawning, the networked storage
, VoIP, and in a little ', as the trend towards cloud computing, all applications needed, including professional ones) - Document Management office suite
- personal storage. - gaming installed permanent neglecting the aspect of gaming in the latest permanent, which requires specific hardware and software, a machine used for these purposes with Windows to manage the system is exactly like seeing the Genoa with Mediaset. pay for a package. Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora, one of the most popular distro, and I, as you know, use the second), free operating system, free, open, shared, now has plenty of mature and particularly suitable for such use, especially with regard to security, and those who switch to Linux it is usually so pleased that no longer feels the need to return to Win, or at least this is my experience over the past five years. No more viruses, no more menate.

course, on Linux, at least for now, is not all there is to win (in some respects, indeed, much, much more), but there is no remedy at all as long as the machine used does not suffer in terms of performance.

A desktop PC, for example (prices from medium to low performance, but more than enough for a normal user), essentially consists of a case (container or chassis) (approx 30-40 E) with power (about 40 E), a motherboard (about 60 E), a processor (known CPU, possibly dual core, that is, with two units in, almost two processors in one, even better if quad core is four units in a) (80 E ca core 2 duo, quad core about 120 E), a video card (from 30 E), volatile memory banks (RAM, random access memory) (4 GB ca 60 E), one or more hard drives (1 TB ca 80 E), a DVD or Blue Ray (20 to 140 E) and any other devices, though not essential. Motherboard, CPU, RAM and video go hand in hand and must be assembled with the right technical and economic criteria, the power supply must have adequate power to the required components, the case must be well ventilated. With a good core 2 duo (dual core with 4 MB of second-generation of Level 2 cache, technologically antiquated already) and 4GB of RAM, Linux kernel 2.6.31 (latest) runs perfectly, and allows you to run without great delays, two essential programs for the nostalgic to Win: Wine, which lets you install and run Linux in some applications (many would say) that are found only in the Windows version, and VirtualBox, a virtualization program very popular and very functional. Just then, in Linux, start virtualbox and run the operating system you want (there can be several depending on the installed capacity and performance of the PC), WinXP, for example, goes to great, and in this system (as if it were a box inside another box, type Matryoshka) you can install within certain performance limits, what you want in native form (eg, TVU Player, SopCast, Mediacenter, PPLive, U95, UUSee, TVants, StreamerOne, etc. .), and damage from viruses or malware, as long as they exist, will be felt only inside the inner box, which you can manipulate as you want, just like a hamster in a wheel .... So: what are you waiting to take the plunge? ;-)

English Soul Silver Rom

Constantine and Nvidia driver







Yes, it has been around for a few days (goodbye beloved Lion, sigh) and shows some interesting features in terms of usability, whose description is easy to find on the net.

What I hope to test soon, and maybe even write two lines above, is the new management of pulseaudio bluetooth device, with the aim to make Skype calls, or VoIP in general hands-free. But the new
born (in fact, the newborn) occurs, as well as with kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64, now with a nice little problem, those who are a bit 'upset by those like me who are fighting for a very simple Linux and yet very effective: the management of the Nvidia driver. The occasion of a little renewal of the fleet business (not cars, eh :-)) led me to opt for a platform on i5 suitors Intel Asus P7P55D combined with a Nvidia Gainward graphics card 216sp GTX260 1792MB DDR3 Ram , with 6 GB of RAM Corsair PC12000 1600MHz and a pair of Barracuda 7200rpm 32mb to 1 TB each (now with 650 €, looking well, takes all).
Only GTX (an animal, really) left me some concern to management, but the driver 190 (173 as well as updated) rewards promised by the handful.

OK. Assembled PC, download iso (exhaust always three versions: the x86_64, i686 and the live, even if you install only the 64-bit), DVD burn and go installation: quick, clean, in short the usual anaconda :-).

And after installing the system, the first thing I run to see what is it? But how does the booming graphics card, no?
Oh, yeah.
So go with installing yumex repo rpmfusion and that we go to take our beloved driver ....

Surprise: the classics Nvidia drivers are not there, nor in free or nonfree in, or in the update. There is only
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau, and you think: okay, will work the same, no? Have simplified everything. So try to go
ago, say, a FooBillard OpenGL or something, or Compiz Fusion: No, a desert. Maccome with the Geforce Go 7600 laptop everything is great, and with 'I'm no monster snow?
The reason is explained in his blog in Sforna Gianluca

this post.

Moral: Tap install the repo-testing and give the installation manual. So far, okay, a few more steps and lost half an hour to figure out 'is the history of the driver now, long live the open and we hope you no longer need proprietary drivers, but if those are still open for under-performing closed, at least I would expect that these were put into nonfree, update to the limit, but do not have to be stupid to seek it in testing.

the matter closed, is not that the installation is free of risk: the nouveau driver, in fact, much like the uninstall, and could lead to problems, the next time, like "what happened to the desktop manager? ".
To avoid trouble, I suggest you follow this procedure
walking, taking great care to type commands species than predicted, if it were the case of implementing it, the item "If nouveau try Refuses to Die."

To be honest, steps 2 and 3 are unnecessary, if implemented immediately after step 4 1.

Remember, to get quickly to a shell after a boot handle (the graphics drivers should do it with x11 not activated yet), just edit the kernel line of grub (grub lock the counter, select the kernel and Fedora to "e", select the kernel line and give "and") and append the number 3 to send and then "b" to boot.
Take care, precision commands, or after your beloved Dracut Linuxbox could disappear. Good Nvidia.

Forehead Turns Red Headache

Windows 7? No, thanks






7 reasons not to upgrade to Windows 7. Here they are:


http://www.techup.it/news/free_software_foundation_vs_windows_7-02302



http://windows7sins.org/


Not that there were less to not get Windows XP or Vista (or myopia) ...
not I have it with XP per se, I consider, with all its limitations, historically, even for a matter of value for money, the best desktop operating system side there has ever been before completion of final 'beloved penguin (in other words, prior to 2004/2005), but Berlusconi is the evolution of the concept of using a PC that the Redmond, and not only this, is desperately trying to give that is destined to a resounding flop .
In the midst of clumsy attempts to obtain patents

globalized, the attention that the European anti-trust is giving to mergers that could prevent (hinder, not prevent) the natural evolution of important segments of the Open Source

and a widespread economic crisis

, Redmond tries to put his fingers in the holes of the dam that is about to collapse trying to prevent by all means, whether or not lawful, even against his same philosophy. We
shocks to the tail of the lizard before posting, before the final collapse.
But before accepting the fact that the "enemy" managed to be successful in a collaborative and non-impediment, I fear that information will still be a lot of blood flowed, unfortunately to no avail.
