Re: better antenna for a USB DVB-T dongle?

2014-07-26 Thread Tomer Cohen
Roof antenna could not be very helpful in your case, but you can buy an
active antenna or place the current one near a window. As for the antenna
connector, you can buy a cheap adapter; I bought this one:

 Hi,

 I'm asking here since I saw that quiet a few members here mentioned using
 things like this in the past.

 I bought a USB DVB dongle for my Cubox-I running OpenELEC (here is the
 item on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251537079924) and although it's
 well supported and the kernel recognises it without a hitch, scanning for
 channels (both through tvheadend and command line w_scan) can't lock on any
 channels.

 I live less than 2 km from the antennas which broadcast to all of Sydney
 (~80km radius service area).

 According to the instructions at http://baratel.com/guides/mythTV.htm,
 the internal antenna which comes with such dongles is worthless for more
 than 500m.

 But the antenna input socket is not the standard wide one (e.g. like the
 one you can see in this wikipedia image:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable#mediaviewer/File:N_Connector.jpg)
 but something that looks like 1 mm headphone jack with an itsy bitsy hole
 in the middle.

 Does anyone know how can I extend the reception for this baby?

 I think of two main options:

 1. Connect it to normal/common coaxial wall socket, so I can take
 advantage of the antenna on the roof.
 2. Buy a bigger internal antenna which can connect to this weird jack.

 Any pointers would be appreciated.

 Thanks,

Re: geolocation in firefox

2014-04-15 Thread Tomer Cohen
The browser geolocation feature meant to provide sites access to an accurate
location data from a GPS receiver or other techniques. This feature is in
use by Google Maps as well as some other sites, but require your permission
before submitting your location data once or per-session.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation

Sites can't ever access this data without your prior permission. Since this
is probably not the case, I don't think the geolocation API was used. The
site in question probably located you by the GeoIP feature, which doesn't
provide accurate location but a country of origin or estimated region in
the country. It is more difficult to fake GeoIP since it is based only by
your IP address, but you can use a proxy or a VPN to remove your traces.

Given that said, sometimes it is easier to just change a preference on the
site to provide you the site in another language (but still this won't
remove any country restrictions for content).

 some people with whom I interacted on Freenode ( http://freenode.net/ )

Re: OT: Recommended domain registrar

nameserver record to point to their hosting DNS. I've recently moved a

Re: Cloud Backup

2013-02-23 Thread Tomer Cohen
For this purpose I am using an old desktop computer equipped with big
enough disk and a cron job to automatically fetch backups from remote
servers when it is switched on. Yes, it store data in a fixed location, but
given that it is only meant to backups, I can live with it for now. By the
way, the same computer also has a mysql instance that is used to extract
backups and rebuild databases locally, which is good or testing that the
backups actually works.

While Dropbox required some propriety software to sync, I've heard that
Google Drive has better API.

 Hi, I'm looking for a cloud backup solution for Linux, where I'll be

 I am *not* looking for a solution based on special purpose (and usually,
 closed source) utilities or daemons that attempt to decide for me what to
 back up and when - I want to be of full control of this process.

 For the last 3 years, I've been using the services of rsync.net, and
 they're doing exactly what I want. However, the storage price I pay them
 is 40 cents per gigabyte per month, is 4 times that of Amazon's, so I
 think there must be a cheaper solution.

 One thing I've been thinking - wouldn't it be fairly easy to store my
 files on Amazon's S3 or even more simply EBS, and then run rsync server
 on a micro instance on EC2? Sounds like a cheap, convenient backup
 solution for Linux diehards like myself, and I wonder if anyone has
 done this before and then I won't need to code this myself?

I'd suggest doing so but away from system folders. You can create symlinks
to each file or folder you are interested in backing up (keep the symlink
creation script handy!), and by doing so you won't end up with the whole
filesystem in a git repository.

 Hi all,

 I'd just like to get your input before I do something stupid. The idea,
 anyhow, is to create a git repository on my system's root directory, and
 add many of the system's configuration files (e.g. some of /etc/) for
 tracking.

 This sounds a bit bizarre even to me, but my question is: Do you see
 anything bad that could happen?

 I can see a few advantages:

 1. Keep track of my changes in the configuration files over time

 2. Easily spot what has changed, if something breaks for no apparent
 reason (after some well-meaning automatic utility helps me out)

 3. Possible to run a cronjob on git commit -a, maintaining a history of
 these files (and makes it easy to fall back to a known set)

 4. More freedom to hack these files to solve a problem, knowing that the
 working set it there to fall back to.

 5. Migrating to a new computer by cloning the repository and selectively
 patching the new system.

 And some disadvantages:

 1. Opening a security loophole somehow (?)

 2. Possibly exposing files containing secrets (otherwise readable by root
 only, e.g. /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and other password files)

 3. Running git as root

 4. Mess up the system somehow because git wasn't meant to handle sensitive
 files (?)




 So what do you say? A bad idea? A brilliant idea? Everyone's doing it and
 nobody told me?

Re: Culmus fonts on WeTab (MeeGo)

2011-05-30 Thread Tomer Cohen
For cases where there is distro package, I'd recommend extracting fonts to
~/fonts/ and restarting the session. I'm using this way in order to install
new fonts with Unicode 6.0 glyphs.



2011/5/30 Dov Grobgeld dov.grobg...@gmail.com

 The xset mechanism is obsolete during the last years and have been
 superseded by the concept of client side font. For Gtk and Qt this is
 handled by fontconfig . To see the fonts that fontconfig supports do:

   fc-list

 To add additional fonts, it is typically enough to copy the font to
 ~/.fonts . You can then check with fc-list that you managed to add the
 fonts.

 Another option is to make use of the fact that MeeGo is rpm based and just
 grab a rpm file from a different distribution and try to install it.  Since
 there are no binary executables in the font rpms, it should be pretty
 straightforward unless the directory structure is different on MeeGo.

 Please give us a review of  the WeTab and how you manage with Hebrew and
 BiDi.

 Hello,

 So, I just bought a brand new WeTab, a device based on MeeGo. I bought it
 in Germany, and now I'm trying to get it to speak Hebrew. My first step is
 to install the culmus fonts so I can st least see Hebrew sites, but whatever
 I do, I can't get them recognized.

 What I did:
 I untarred the latest package (0.120) into /usr/share/X11/fonts/ and
 symlinked to it in /etx/X11/fontpath.d/ (the place indicated by `xset q`). I
 made sure that it has all permissions and ownerships like the other font
 dirs.

 Restarting the device, the font was not recognized. I tried using fc-cache
 on the directory, adding it with xset +fp ...; xset rehash, but the fonts
 don't show up neither in fc-list nor in xlsfonts. I also tried running
 mkfontsdir, which produced a fonts.dir file containing the string '0' and
 nothing more.

 How can I debug this? Is there any way I can have a verbose output of what
 directories are searched and why they are dropped? There's nothing in
 /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Or does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

 Thanks in advance,

 PS - I'm doing all those experiments in a virtualbox image of the WeTab, I
 want to get it right before I abuse my actual hardware :)

Re: sponsorship?

2011-05-29 Thread Tomer Cohen
This topic is an active topic on discussi...@hamakor.org.il. Can you please
keep this discussion there and not create separated thread here so everyone
would be able to follow? Thanks.

 Hi,

 I just read this morning that Richard Stallman will not come to Israel due
 to pressure from the Palestinians who sponsor his visit.
 You can read it here:
 http://www.calcalist.co.il/internet/articles/0,7340,L-3519167,00.html?dcRef=ynet

 My question: I'm pretty sure that hotel + ticket is not such a huge price.
 Is there any company that can sponsor his visit, so we might actually see
 mister Stallman here after all?

 Thanks,
 Hetz

Re: Hebrew DNS

2010-08-30 Thread Tomer Cohen
Please note that ISOC does not provide Hebrew domains domains just yet (in
the scheme of HebrewString.co.il and HebrewString.net.il), and there is no
known plans to allow it anytime soon.

Some TLDs do allow registration of IDN domains, including dot com TLDs, but
for most IDN TLDs the domain won't appear in Hebrew in the browser location
bar due to limited or no support for detecting spoofed addresses.

On the other hand, a local registerar named Domain The Net provide Hebrew
domain including Hebrew TLD. I won't recommend using these domain, as they
are not registered at IANA and will be accessible only on some local ISPs
and only on some configurations.

 A client of ours  would like to take advantage of ISOC's offering of Hebrew

 the effort to make it so for one client.  Can anyone here manage DNS for a

Re: send sms via icq

Are you sure this service is still active? As far as I know recently ICQ
stopped sending free messages, or you have to charge your account with some

However, you can still send free messages from the providers websites, and
from gmail (the same procedure of charging the account with replies apply to
gmail).

 I tried today few times to send sms via icq protocol with the script. For
 some reason it fails, even sending to orange numbers. Someone experience the
 same issues? few months ago we had the problem with cellcom which disabled
 sending via icq.

 I hope it's just a temporary problem and they don't follow cellcom pattern.


 The error I get is Trying to connect.failed!

Re: OT: web fonts

2010-07-28 Thread Tomer Cohen
I would suggest not to mess with fonts, as for most usages it already has
good choices for every operating system and browser. You can instead specify
font-family:sans-serif, as serif fonts are never looking good on screens
(but ideal for prints).

If you are very geeky, you can load fonts fronts from the stylesheet itself,
so you can show culmus fonts for Windows, as well as any other chosen font.

You should install the Locale Switcher addon[1], and the Hebrew language

Hebrew.

sipme.me and Linux voip softphone

2010-06-01 Thread Tomer Cohen
Hi,

I've signed-up an account on sipme.me voip provider. They are official
landline phone provider from the Ministry of Communication office, and
provide phone lines with the 078-555 prefix. They are providing a customized
soft-phone application for various platforms, including Windows and Symbian
and iPhone, but as I preferred to use it under Linux, I had to configure it
on SIP-complaint desktop application.

Configuring it on various applications (including Ekiga, QutePhone and
sflphone) was not an issue, and I can receive calls without any problem. As
for doing calls, it seems that the line is hanging-up right after handshake,
so my regular land-line phone is doing half ring and unable to get even the
caller id string from the caller. For mobile phones I was unable even to get
this.

After asking their support, they said that it is happening due to the usage
of a different SIP stack, and seems to refuse guiding me with relevant
information. Anyone succeed getting their service to work well under Linux?
Thanks.

  a Jewish file (for religious holidays) and an Israeli file (for

  even accept an argument that they should both be in a single file.
  What say you?

   The new site is expected in a few months.
  
  
  
   In spite of the said above, and in order to satisfy
  
   the need of the users of other browsers in the meantime the IAA is now

Re: Hebrew calendar software creators: can you notify this list when updating the calendar?

 creators: can you notify this list when updating the calendar?:
 
  The file /usr/share/calendar.judaic is out of date.

 Where did this file come from? It doesn't exist on Fedora, for example.


I am running updates on my system on daily basis (ubuntu 9.10), and see what
I've found -  The file is not maintained for five years, and the dates last
updated seven (!) years ago. Someone should takeover this and create script
to automatically generate the file every year. Calling someone, Kaplan, are
you listening? :)

This file came from Debian probably. FreeBSD seems to have newer file in
their repositories, dated back to 2007, and so is Debian sid (see links

older.

Re: Hebrew calendar software creators: can you notify this list when updating the calendar?

2010-04-13 Thread Tomer Cohen
Sounds that people are aware of this issue. See the following snippet from
'man calendar' -

 calendar.judaic   Jewish holidays (should be updated yearly by the
local system administrator so that roving holidays are set correctly for the
   current year)

We already have hcal for Hebrew dates instead of cal. Someone should create
hcalendar in addition of calendar. Sounds to me as an easy task for someone
who is familiar enough with Hebrew dates.

 In short, this file is absolutely worthless - the Jewish calendar for a
 single year! It should not be updated to another single year (as FreeBSD
 did for the year 2007 ;-)) - it should be removed altogether, and a proper
 algorithm used. I'm really surprised that anyone ever seriously suggested
 this approach, and even got it into leading free software distributions.

 If some international calendar program must have a list of holiday dates
 (or
 alternative date names - like 29 Nisan for today) and not an algorithm,
 then at least generate such a file with 100 years in history and 100 years
 into the future, to at least give it the semblance of a perpetual calendar
 (e.g., if I want to find out when Purim was in the year I was born, or next
 year).

 In short - don't update calendar.judaic - remove it, or find a way to make
 it span 100 years, not a single year.

Hello,

I'm just wondering, who is maintaining linux.org.il website? I think it is
missing some links from its main page, especially ubuntu-il website, which
has active community. It would be nice if it will also contain link to

I can't find the requirements for links, but I will appreciate if you can

Re: I have a rabbit in my ears ;-)

2009-09-17 Thread Tomer Cohen
Such websites became quite common thanks to Google who started providing
Hebrew translation recently. They are doing so in order to get some traffic
from other languages as well as doing SEO to their site (more content -
higher rank). I guess that English to French translation, for example is far
better than the Hebrew translation. Please note that I've seen some people
doing it the opposed way - writing in Hebrew and providing other langauges
as well using Google service. You can only guess how bad Google translate
it. :)

As for your question, you may want to check out the following -

2009/9/17 Nadav Har'El n...@math.technion.ac.il

 While looking on Google for information about digital TV on Linux,
 I searched in Hebrew לינוקס טלוויזיה דיגיטלית (linux digital television)
 and I found the following forum, in Hebrew:

http://www.unix.com/iw/whats-your-mind/87912-digital-tv-rocks.html

 I found the subject of the thread, טלוויזיה דיגיטלית הסלעים! very amusing
 (a funny translation of the English phrase Digital TV rocks!), but the
 text of the forum was even more bizarre, containing really broken Hebrew
 and the phrase that really got my attention was יש לי ארנב באוזניים,
 I have a rabbit in my ears!

 This made me think this was probably some sort of automatic translation,
 Looking at the menus on that site, also using completely broken Hebrew,
 made me think even more that this was an automatic translation. But why?
 Who would bother translating some sort of English Linux forum into Hebrew
 in an unreadable manner? Why wouldn't they clearly say something to this
 effect on the web page?

 Web I clicked in the US flag on that page, I found the original English
 text of the forum. So now I'm sure this is an automatic translation
 (by the way, the original phrase was I got some rabbit ears, referring
 of course to an antenna).

 I still wonder why this page exists in the first place... And why it is
 the first place on Google for somebody in Israel who wants to watch tv
 on linux...

Re: Bank Hapoalim

2009-07-08 Thread Tomer Cohen
I am actually using Bank Hapoalim with Linux without any real problems. The
biggest problem is that some text is reversed sometimes (very old issue),
which can be solved easily by changing page encoding.

When I asked them about Linux support they said they are supporting both
Windows and Mac, and that the reverse problem occurs only on Linux which is
unsupported. I tried few times to simulate the reversing problem on Windows
and tried to fix it on Linux by changing the User Agent string, no luck so
far.

I've recently written about that. If you can help - you're welcome.
http://tomercohen.com/2009/06/06/?p=597


2009/7/8 Dan Bar Dov bar...@gmail.com

 I just got off the phone, talking with Bank Hapoalim support.

 I got a very clear message - We do not support Linux. We support only
 Windows XP and Vista..

 Just to make sure I asked, so you support Firefox  explorer, but only on
 Microsoft operating systems?
 The answer was a solid yes.

 Is anyone accessing Hapoalim from Linux? When I try, I get logged out due
 to inactivity every 10 seconds.

 Is dictating the vendor of the OS I need to use in order to access internet
 services even legal?

Re: Israeli sites that are broken under firefox

2009-05-26 Thread Tomer Cohen
Reversed text in Hebrew is a long issue in Adobe Flash, which fixed in the
recent years for Windows users, but Linux (and Mac?) users are still unable
to read it, and there is no (as far as I know) player-side script to
workaround this issue.

By the way - Flash on Linux is worse than running IE under Wine. I would
prefer broken HTML page with some workarounds as userscripts over
beautiful Flash but slow to process.

Re: Israeli ISP blocking outgoing SMTP

Hi,

Requiring ISPs to tell customers what they are blocking and why sounds as a
good idea to me. I am a customer of the same ISP for long time, and they are
blocking every application I use!

* I don't have secure IRC access for some months now (while regular IRC
connections work, but I prefer to authenticate securely).
* I am unable to connect to Google Jabber server using a desktop clients for
more than a year.
* They are limiting my access to CVS/SVN/Mercurial servers. While small
transfers work, I have to use workarounds when I have to transfer more than
few kilobytes.

When you call their support services they say the problem is not on thier
side. Too strange that I can access these servers from another ISPs while
the problem is not their.

 Only after slowly spelling out what my problem was (no, I don't want to

 I realize that spam is a problem, but this 'solution' strikes me as, how to

Re: Firefox 3 - random crashes

2009-03-20 Thread Tomer Cohen
Sorry for being a bit delayed. I hope my message will clarify few things.

about:crashes would aggregate your crash information as soon as you report
them to Mozilla. Some Linux distributions are compiling Firefox without the
crash reporter, in order to make the software more similar to their other
applications and use the distribution crash reporter instead, so you'll
report your crashes to them instead of the software developers team. I have
wrote about this issue in my blog - http://tomercohen.com/2009/02/27/?p=537

In order to solve your issue, please download Firefox binaries directly from
Mozilla and run it instead of your distro Firefox. Than, when Firefox will
crash (in case it will), you'll prompted to report your crash to Mozilla and
than you will be able to review your information in about:crashes.

Beside this, I am almost sure your crash isn't because of Firefox but Flash.
Adobe Flash Player is very unstable application in Linux, and sometimes
crash the browser or more dangerous stuff.

 Ever since upgraging from Firefox 2.* to 3.0.7, the browser randomly but

 reason. I've looked at all the usual logs and ~/.mozilla/* and found
 nothing.
 Is there a Firefox specific log I should be looking at?

 To clarify one point, the browser is always open on my machine, but often
 (2
 or 3 times a day), when I come back to the computer, Firefox has closed. So
 it's not happening when I try to get to a particular site, but when the
 browser is idle. In fact, I don't rememmber ever having a crash when
 trying
 to load a site.

 Thanks, Tomer, but I really don't want to install greasemonkey. I
 tried going through the HTML to get to the link to the video, as VLC
 can play WMP streams, however I cannot find it. I've gotten two
 advertisements to play in VLC, but no video!

 For reference, this is the article that I'm trying to see:

 http://www.mako.co.il/news-channel2/Channel-2-Newscast/Article-e3087305258df11004.htm


Same as you, I don't have any media player plugin installed on my browser,
but thanks to that script I am getting the links to appear on the error
console. And if this is not enough for you, you can always install the
MediaPlayerConnectivity addon  and get direct links to the embedded video(s)
in the sidebar (but you'll still need the script above in order to make mako
site compatible with Firefox).

Here is your link. Enjoy.

I am right now working on aggregating result from Firefox users survey we

Hi,

I have found that people intend to subscribe to mailing lists more than to
read RSS or visit some websites every few days. Unless you are going to
advertise the lectures in sites such as Slashdot, I think most of the
audience would prefer a mailing list, open for announcements only, and will
advertise every single talk, on every subject, by every local user group all
over to country. If things will go well this way, you may be able to use
more advanced methods (such as a Wordpress installation with categories
feed) in the future.

sites [2] even on ISOC servers (http://www.isoc.org.il/hebrew is 404
for now).

I think this is the best place to ask - Is there someone with access
to very old mirroring sites that maybe has that piece of history
hidden there?

I do remember that it was also published on some Israeli magazines
such as PC Magazine Israel, which has CD attached every month.

[2] Google search for bdns461i.zip, bdns461i.exe or just bdns461i.

Re: rdesktop hebrew keyboard question

I'm using rdesktop 1.5.0 (latest) and I found a weird behavior:

when using the standard en-us keyboard layout, it works ok, but trying
to press the hebrew DOT (nekuda) gives ץ. When trying the comma,
I'm getting ת.


Could someone shed some light about this issue?
  
Look for rdesktop stderr output - rdesktop can't map the Hebrew 
characters from the local system. Make sure to always use English 
keyboard layout at the host, and if the local and the remote both use 
alt-shift for layout switching, make sure the local machine active 
keymap stay in English.

Re: SSHD for Windows

2008-03-12 Thread Tomer Cohen
At my workplace we found that currently cygwin isn't working well on Vista
(and Windows 2008 server). Therefore we use copsshd, which is just another
cygwin-based sshd, but packed with a nice Windows GUI.

 The first seems to be a native app, the others are cygwin based but don't
 require cygwin to be installed (they come with the necessary files bundled

Re: RTL in plaintext mails

2008-02-25 Thread Tomer Cohen
Hi,

You can actually use RTL in UTF-8, just place RLE (U+202B) in the start of
each Hebrew sentence and PDF (U+202C) at the end (PDF is not a most, since
each end of sentence gets it automatically, but I see it as a good
practice). Keep in mind that some plain text users might scream at this
point since they can see that character. Also note that RLE/LRE..PDF has
nothing to do with line alignment, so you will still send it unprofessional.


I prefer to send email messages most of the time in HTML just because of
that, and to include plain text fallback which includes the RLE/LRE..PDF
there.

Tomer.

Re: Hebrew-friendly list server on Linux?

2008-01-28 Thread Tomer Cohen
I recommend you to try Google Groups. It is highly customizable list 
server, and has good web access for archiving and even posting if permitted.


ronys wrote:

I'm looking for a mailing list server that is meant to serve a few hundred

in Hebrew.
My first solution, Yahoo groups, is a big failure due to the number of users who complain 
about gibberish in their inbox.
Can anyone recommend a decent solution, either hosted or something thatI can 
install on my own Linux server? Note that the admin interface doesn't have to 
be in Hebrew, only the user-facing side.

OK - so I guess I sot of **re-invented the wheel**, but in my defense, let me 
just say that, although I'm sure that your instructions work (I didn't try 
them), you refer to doing it by making the needed changes to to .js file. 
What I did was **much easier** because I used the make new search bookmarklet 
which handles everything automatically.


Look at the date of that post - two and half years ago. There is quite 
few addition availble, such as the netex search plugin 
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=netexsubmitform=Search and 
using the about:config method instead of editing the user.js.


I see no point to use the Netex engine while Google LuckySearch do the 
same much better.

Re: bugzilla reports

2003-11-17 Thread Tomer Cohen

I'm trying to look for a prorgam which connects to bugzilla and can create 
reports based on the bugs in the bugzilla..

Bugzilla 2.16.x has a very basic 'report' scheme which is not sufficient...

Recent versions of bugzilla allow CSV access to any page. You can run a 
query on the web, than ask the server to supply results in CSV. It works 
for me quite good with a PHP script.
