Re: [Dorset] The future of family history digital recordings?
If I may echo Ralph, don't do anything to the originals. If you decide to mark up the image in any way make sure you do it on a copy. For people who turn up regularly in photos another tedious option would be to make a rogue's gallery of the usual suspects: have a folder of cropped images of individuals (again from copies) each named appropriately, so whoever comes after has a clear visual reference of who is who.

Re: [Dorset] Telegraph article about Linux
Amazing. How many proprietary systems are routinely hacked with very little said about it? Then you get something like this that only *nearly* succeeded, and got fixed very quickly, and and it's all "oh no! Open source is not secure!" But I guess that's to be expected from mainstream media... Alex On Tue, 9 Apr 2024 08:17:16 +0100 Peter Merchant wrote: > Bit negative..

Re: [Dorset] FOSDEM is Online this Weekend.

Been playing with those features recently, and they aren't quite as polished as they could be just yet. I expect things will break a lot. ;) It's been a while since I looked into different matrix clients, but Element is probably still the most functional, and the browser client is probably the least painful for the widgets they will be using for the conference.

Re: [Dorset] FTP problem
Hi Tim, If FTP is still giving you a headache, you could use SCP or SVN/GIT revision control to roll out your changes to the server?

Re: [Dorset] Network analysis tools
You can do some really cool stuff with http://www.backtrack-linux.org/. It provides all sorts of tools for network analysis, although some of the tools are quite scary! at what they can do. I did a project at university on dsniff password sniffer - sat that on my home network plugged into the uplink port on the router was v. scary. My dissertation was extending Snort (intrusion/detection) with Perl!

Re: [Dorset] Finding open ports and how to open/close them
I second Robert, it actually seems to be puppy thats getting in the way. Maybe you could suggest he tries installing it on Ubuntu/Debian server? There are lots of walkthrough's available. http://blog.chrisramsay.co.uk/2009/02/05/squeezebox-plus-ubuntu-is-heaven/ Isn't running the windows squeezebox on wine kind of defeat the object? :P HTH, Alex On 24 May 2010 18:18, Terry Coles d-...@hadrian-way.co.uk wrote: On Monday 24 May 2010, Robert Bronsdon wrote: Hmm - the first thought is puppy might not be an ideal 'demonstration' linux for someone fresh.
