Re: Electronic Junk in Haifa

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

As far as I can recall, the junkyard near downtown, around where the bridge
above the train line (the bridge which leads to road 22) is still
functioning. Yankale's junkyard or some similar name.

The only place I know of is YS Metronics which is in the Modiin  
Industrial park, which is really in Lod.

Electronic Junk in Haifa

[Stan Goodman]

Years ago, there was a junk shop in Haifa, near the wholesale vegetable 
market and not far from the old Turkish railway station. I know that it 
isn't there anymore; is there such a place anywhere in the vicinity where 
disused and unneeded electronic odds and ends are bought and sold?

Slides for Creative Commons lecture are available

[Eli Billauer]

Hello,

The slides for tomorrow's lecture (which is part II) are available here:

http://haifux.org/lectures/247/haifux-cc-lecture.pdf

The lecture was originally planned for one session, but the subject is 
so deep in our region of interest, so we had questions, she had good 
answers, and so we couldn't get on...


Anyhow, missing part I is no issue on attending part II.

  Eli

Re: Bezeq's Dropbox imitation

[Ori Idan]

I think you can achieve the same functionality using rsync and cron, however
what they offer is a daemon that looks for changes in a specific directory
and synchronizes the directory to the remote server. I think they also offer
the possibility of sharing a subdirectory (under that dropbox directory)
with anyone else that has a dropbox account.

I have used dropbox in the past, I am now using a similar service from
Canonical named Ubuntu one that comes default with Ubuntu desktop.

Maybe this should be a new thread, but what does DropBox offer that a
remote SSH account, Rsync and Cron don't? No troll, I'd really like to
know.

DropBox has client and a daemon. The client is open source but as much as I
know the daemon is not.

Canonical already realizes that Linux support is important. Bezeq yet
doesn't, that is why we have to ask them to support desktop Linux. The
more we ask now, the less we will have to fight later (when their
shiney new XYZ-technology modems don't support Linux, for instance).

Ubuntu has their own dropbox clone.  If I'm going to support a company...
I'd rather it's Canonical than Bezeq.

Bezeq's Dropbox imitation

[Daniel Feiglin]

Hello folks!

Bezeq is offering a "Dropbox" imitation for very reasonable fees: NIS 1
/Gb for oa 10 or 20 Gb package. The first two Gb are free (like
Dropbox). Of course their technicians only support Windows and have
(officially) never heard of Linux. Apart from the cost, there is the
very important security attraction - the Bezeq servers for this are
located in Israel.

Has anyone on the list succeeded in using Linux opposite this service,
perhaps by hacking kdropbox or something similar?

What parameters should I request to "concoct" something myself (Oy vay!
I haven't done socket programming since 2000)?

Regards,


Daniel
