Amazing Ubuntu Uptime


I honestly can't remember an uptime on my Ubuntu workstations or laptops that has reached this high, pretty sure it was due to the fact that most of the folks at Canonical might have been with their hands full with the Lucid Lynx release.

Samba copy sucks


Today copied a few isos from a Windows 2K box to Trantor, via Samba share on the PowerBook, boy that sucks...

Bs As weather once again

Fucking with us...
The faint winter echo that we had simply vanished over the weekend, leaving us in BsAs with a piece of shit humid weather, and a sky rocket temperature.
Autumn, right, sure, autumn.

The current Ubuntu theme

Been buried by work this week, not much free time to post anything on my beloved Oesediez I'm afraid...
The screenshot shows that it is pretty obvious that I still have that Lucid Lynx fetish (link 1 link 2 link 3) going on...

Nothing like the piece of shit Sunday

CPUs to the n



Two nice & easy screenshots displaying the mighty power of a Dual Quad Core...
Compare these with the little brother, about 2 years ago, although, big brother here has a bit less of RAM.

Everything is violet

Already said it, but, I love the look that the new Ubuntu release will have.

Today went to the local mall, couple of blocks from my place, to take a look at some books, and, for what I saw at all the shops, certainly looks like violet it is a truly "in" color for the upcoming winter fashions as well.

PF Sense setup (II)


A little package to show (in real time) the bandwidth use on the PF Sense firewall.
It is called "rate", and it is available from the "Available Packages" menu entry.



This package adds a table of realtime bandwidth usage by IP address to Status -> Traffic Graphs

PF Sense setup (I)


Will try to keep a journal (daily, hopefully) of what I'm doing on the PF setup.

Today got the OpenVPN up & running; it way more complex than doing so if you run, say, Endian, as your router/ firewall/ UTM solution; but once it is up and running, it seems, it feels more robust.
By far, the greatest PITA is setting up the PKI files.

This is the openvpn line to connect as client, for the moment, at least:
sudo openvpn --client --pull --comp-lzo --nobind --dev tun \
--ca ~/ca.crt --cert ~/certificate.crt --key ~/key.key \
--remote my.pf-sense.router --proto tcp

It so nice to finally contemplate this summer die, the days are starting to get short, and, boy, you open a windows and there is cool breeze of air flowing!
