recommended remote backup service?
Hi, I need to find a new, secure and very reliable remote backup service for my employer's office server. This will be used to backup mainly stuff like SVN dumps, TRAC database, etc. 10-20 gigs should be more than enough, and ssh/rsync/sftp etc. scriptable access is a must. any recommendations?

Re: looking for a c++ debugger
The eclips CDT debug perspective is a very good frontend for gcc. I do find it a bit annoying that it doesn't display std containers like strings, maps and lists in a friendly manner (Visual Studio's debugger is excellent in this sense). I found kdbg a bit less friendly, but haven't tried it in a couple of years, perhaps it has improved since. 2009/4/27 Shachar Shemesh shac...@shemesh.biz Erez D wrote: On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 3:16 PM, Shachar Shemesh shac...@shemesh.bizwrote: Erez D wrote: hi currently I'm using ddd as a c++ debugger anyone knows of a better one which 1. supports linux 2. supports c++ 3. gui 4. free (at least as in beer) Perhaps you can start by saying which of the above you feel ddd does not provide. it provides most what i need, however it is not too friendly - the way it displays variables, the position of the windows. it does not color the code, etc ... basicly i look for better look-and-feel. erez In that case, it's just a matter of searching for another gdb front end until you find something you like.

Desktop boards with HW RAID + LINUX

It's a small beast actually which can supports up to 16GB of RAM (great if you're using VM's) and it's full Intel supported chipset (if you're going to seriously use it as a desktop, make sure you buy a good graphics card, Intel graphics are crap! invest few more hundreds shekels and buy a dedicated ATI or NVidia graphics card on either board, the nVidia 7100 also sucks, specially if you want to play HD movies).

Skype extras (plugins) are AFAIK platform specific.

1. it's a bit confusing - kde-i18-hebrew is the *KDE3* package for some reason. you should yum install kde-l10n-Hebrew for kde4 suuport. i tested it just now and it works fine. 2. i also recommend upgrading to kde 4.2, you have a repository for that here: http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ (follow the YUM section for instructions, and enable the kde-testing repo) it's much much better than what the distro comes with, finally i'm back to KDE and it's usable again!

Re: Qt to become LGPLed
Great news. Now if they could only make it more lightweight... You don't feel it in Linux, but having distributed Qt with a commercial Windows app, It's quite a pain to have your app weighing in at over 7M for just the GUI module. That's not a lot in today's world, but it's still heavy. don't know how much further you can reduce it technically though. Still, we chose it over other options (cross platform-ability was the major plus) and were pretty happy with it.

I'm referring to 3 cards for 3 seperate computers (not 3 signals to be handled by 1 computer). I don't intend to do anything illegal (bypassing encryption) - I would have a YES MEMIR next to each computer and the TV card would be fed from the MEMIR.

Re: backing up mysql database (mysqldump)

Re: Web hosting services with servers in Israel or well-connected to IIX?

How big is the difference in latency and throughput experienced by Israelis surfing to Web sites hosted in USA, by a low-cost Web hosting service vs. Web hosting service, which hosts sites in Israel? You can expect ~200ms latency from teh US, that is noticeable. You can host in europe if you want a bit better latency but without the ripoff prices in Israel. I did a project a couple of years where the main website was hosted in the US, and was meant for US and Israeli users alike. What we did eventually was put an image server in Israel, sync it with the images on the main server constantly, etc. It did get us a lot of speed gain since this app has a lot of images on it. In other words, is the price difference justified by quality of service?

On Linux, I've always played MP3's using mpg123 or mpg321. However I want something closer to Winamp in function.

They can be sorted by various options, but most of the time I leave it in the order the files exist in. Because of that I have my MP3 library arranged with a top level directory of mp3, mounted with automounter or SAMBA on windows. Under it is a directory named for each artist, and under that a directory for each album (yes, I keep them together by albums, something no one else seems to). Then under each album is the mp3 files, named track-title.mp3 . Some times I have two levels deep, such as /mp3/artist/special_album/cd_1/01-first_track.mp3. However what ever the number of levels is, I want to see a play list (created when I open it) of: first_track_title second_track_title last_track_title without having to deal with the directory structure and file names, the titles coming from the ID tags. The advantage of this is that I can just leave it play, or if I get to a track I don't like, or am not in the mood to listen to, I can either skip forward with the skip forward button, or mouse click on a song that is farther down in the playlist.

(scp is basically ssh+cat, more or less, especially if you are dealing with one file). If so then you might be able to just run your own program which copies the file content over and when it's done it can trigger the processing which waits for the copy to finish.

Re: Parsing a hebrew website and maintaining the encoding to something readable
I'm not a python expert, but you can use libiconv to convert the text to
utf-8. I use it with C and PHP, it probably has pyhton bindings, and it
also has a small app called iconv, which you can pipe to get what you need.
if you're not sure what your source encoding will be in all cases, i'd
also recommend trying to detect the encoding from the html source, with
a regex, and passing the result to iconv as the source encoding.

RE: [OT] Moving away from KDE to what?
AFAIK, this is the main goal of KDE 3.2 - increasing interface
responsiveness and launch speed, rather than bloating KDE with more
features.
KDE 3.1 offers some improvements in that field, too.
I have to tell you, though, that on a reasonable machine KDE runs almost
as fast as winXP, and in some sonses even faster.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200211/su

I am aware to the fact that due to the Hebrew thing we need
{KDE,GNOME} much more then US users. I also didn't check
whether they
were discussing KDE2 or KDE3.
While on this subject, is it true that GUI is more
integrated into Win
kernel then the Linux kernel? Another side of the same coin is that
maybe X is much more {big,bloated} then Win.
For those who want the URL summarized, here is the first

Full story at: http://bokertov.net/10-9-2002/news.htm Reading this site, I have a strange feeling the reporter misread http://softwarechoice.org/ (see http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26616.html , which may have got its author fired) the item is (according to the writer) based on this story from CNNfn http://money.cnn.com/2002/09/05/technology/microsoft/index.htm which does not mention an mslinux at all ;) Dvir Volk Editor in Chief Nana by NetVision _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Tel: 03-5652585 | Fax:03-6241952 | http://www.netvision.net.il http://www.nana.co.il NetVision LTD.

RE: [OT] proposed israeli laws regarding internet and encryption
One note: people there seem to be quite clueless regarding the distribution of encryption technologies: The legitlators accept the position of the Security Forces according to which limiting the use of encryption and limiting the distribution of sophisticated security systems will help the defense organizations to intercept messages containing information that can lead to to the circumvention of terrorist acts. On the other hand, giving encryption technologies to terrorists will increase the number of casualties in crimes that can't be prevented. Anybody else senses here a cheap use of the terror (in greek: fear) threat? you only quoted half a paragraph.the first half sets a different meaning and tone: we thought that all supervision on encryption should be cancelled, since it's obvious that a terrorist who want to deal with encryption won't ask for a license, where as legitimate companies encounter bureaucratic difficulties. all in all, i think most of what these guys want is pretty much ok: 1. limited responsibility of ISPs and sites to what people post on websites (needless to say, this will help me sleep better). 2. no supervision over encryption technologies. 3. clearing the subject of a state back door by law (which pretty much means no more of this rubbish, if it does exist) Dvir Volk Editor in Chief Nana by NetVision _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Tel: 03-5652585 | Fax:03-6241952 | http://www.netvision.net.il http://www.nana.co.il NetVision LTD.

old Yahoo! Messenger, anyone?
hi does anyone have the old Yahoo Messenger client RPM? it was about two years old, and worked fine with hebrew (with biditext, of course). now yahoo have upgraded their client, and though the new one has tons of cool features, i didn't manage to get it to display hebrew in messages, even with GTK2, and i've lost the old version's RPM, sadly. i also tried the KYIM client, but it wasn't good enough. so, if anyone still has the old version (RedHat i386), it would be much appreciated. thanks Dvir Volk Editor in Chief Nana by NetVision _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Tel: 03-5652585 | Fax:03-6241952 | http://www.netvision.net.il http://www.nana.co.il NetVision LTD.

-Original Message- From: Arie Folger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 5:23 PM To: Linux-IL mailing list Subject: kab + dbms? Hi, I have a set of flat files which once upon a time were an access database. Once I migrated to Linux, I slowly turned it into a mysql database, and did elementary database management using kmysql. Kmysql is no longer maintained, IIRC (last update in January 2001), and its form feature was not powerful enough for me. Result is that in this one area I have not been able to get as much juice out of open source as I had with windoze. you should definitely check out this tool, called MyCC http://www.mysql.com/products/mycc/index.html it's maintained by MySQL itself, based on QT (should work with hebrew, though it's been a while since i last used it), and works pretty well (as well as looking pretty). here is a screenshot: http://apps.kde.com/na/2/show/id/1409/ss?tn=0 To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

are you sure it's the basic chat and not the advanced one? the advanced chat worked since day 1 (well, if you ignore the fact that you the letter tav doesn't work) on linux, but i've never managed to run tour basic (netfun) chat on linux.

RE: Key signing party results
Those of you who did not participate, fret not - we'll have another key signing party in the next IGLU event. Which will be.? Fscked if I know. I know that at least gby and I are thinking about it. If you (or anyone else) have a suggestion, fire away... first of all, kudos on the event on friday. it was cool. IMHO, the next iglu event should not be an evangelistic one, and a larger event, possibly - targeted towards home users (advanced ones, of course) and webmasters, who might install linux if they knew how easy it has become, and that it supports hebrew. sort of a breaking the myths of linux or linux is for everyone event, with an intallfest and all. maybe in the holidays or something? just an anecdote: i had a meeting with an experienced webmaster who runs his site on linux last week, and he was surprised to hear that i run linux as a complete hebrew desktop. if people like him don't know of those capabilities of linux, there is serious evangelism to be done. just a suggestion :) To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Key signing party results
well, i'm willing to help if others want to organize it too. plus - if it becomes serious - i might (just might) also be able to get some sponsorship to such an event from Nana (ethics schmethics :) ).

RE: [August Penguin] It's all about the money
Do you expect 50 shekels to be too much? If so, I suggest you take a lower charge from people who might not come because of the price (kids, soldiers, muvtalim, etc.), say 20 shekels. Soldiers in uniform free? Kids under 16 at half price? Well, it's up to the organizers... how about girls enter free (mashke rihson hinam :-) ) but seriously, what's the estimated/confirmed number of people there?

RE: PHP/Apache strange problem
that's what happened, but strange enough, three hours later it just works. maybe it was a local problem on the different machine i was trying to work with earlier. anyhow, just an interesting thing: the default setting of php in RH7.3 is to disable uploads, wiothout it being mentioned anywhere. but as i said, that configuration was ok even when it didn't work. -Original Message- From: Ilya Konstantinov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed 7/3/2002 7:15 PM To: Dvir Volk Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: PHP/Apache strange problem On Wed, Jul 03, 2002 at 05:17:30PM +0200, Dvir Volk wrote: I've reinstalled apache and php from RPMs - and now i can submit the forms, but if i upload a file, nothing happens (the script times out).
