Re: keepassx

Thanks for the info. I have used Keypass variations on Android, Macintosh, Linux, Windows, Blackberry and Apple iOS over the years. It's very useful for me to have everywhere I need to enter passwords. There are 2 versions of the .kdb. Version 2 requires .NET/Mono. Version 1 is more portable s

Re: Network & system monitoring tools? Nagios, Zabbix, ...?

1) Most of the all in one things don't do all the things well. 2) Nagios and derivatives do alerting very well. It's usually the right choice for that part. 3) Nagios doesn't do time based monitoring/graphing well. Most of it is monitoring itself. 4) There are lots of monitoring tools. I've used

I've never used FreeNAS, but I've used ZFS quite a bit. I've used it natively on Solaris at work and on Ubuntu with ZFS on Linux at home. I've been very happy with it. There is information out there on tuning/not tuning on Solaris. ZFS on Linux (and BSD) has different tunings. >From the short

My intro to Openstack was someone in sales from Canonical showing how he used HP microservers and other parts from eBay to teach himself Openstack. Juju was just being introduced and at the time, the minimal recommended stack was 12 nodes. He had the whole setup in his office. 12 HP Microservers

Yes, it was Federico. I saw the warmup he did at BLU. It was very good IMO. On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 10:49 AM, Bill Ricker wrote: > On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 7:53 AM, Tom Buskey wrote: > > My intro to Openstack was someone in sales from Canonical showing how he > > used HP microse

Does the USB HID simultaneous key limit apply to a MIDI-> usb adapter? They adapters are pretty cheap nowadays. Then you need a your chording keyboard to speak MIDI. On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 8:17 PM, David Rysdam wrote: > Joshua Judson Rosen writes: > > How about MIDI? > > When I was about to h

Re: simulating chorded keyboards

My MIDI device (input & output) was $5.60 on Amazon including shipping. If it adapts via USB correctly you just bury the adapter inside the keyboard. On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 3:16 PM, David Rysdam wrote: > Tom Buskey writes: > > Then you need a your chording keyboard to speak M

Re: GRUB, ISO, and remote boot.

You can create a custom kickstart that pulls everything over via NFS, FTP or HTTP maybe even iSCSI. But you'd need some kind of initial boot to get to that point. Either a DVD/USB/PXE that loads the initial part then mounts the rest over the net & does the install. You might want to look at iPXE

Re: powerschool webscraper?

Elinks? It has some javascript support that calls Mozilla's engine. It has a text interface. I've used lynx -dump in the past, but that doesn't have java script. I've seen OpenOffice automated. A kluge would be to fire up selenium, print/save to PDF, compare PDFs. FWIW I have a postscript dif

There are some interesting thing in Corey Doctrow's Little Brother about a practical application of PGP and avoiding authorities. I'd read the book 1st as some might not want to give it to their kids. On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 10:31 AM, wrote: > > Jo
