Torrentflux vs transmission

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I wanted a simple web interface for a single person to use to control bittorrent downloads on my home server.

First I tried TorrentFlux. With plenty of features and multi user support it’s a complicated beast to set up with apache and mysql requirements. Luckily my home machine is now running the latest ubuntu release so all I had to do was

apt-get install torrentflux

But all the features comes with a price of a more complex user interface and behind the web interface it uses the somewhat limited BitTornado client.

When I found the Transmission packages for linux I was sold! I used to use Transmission on my mac and I loved it. Now packaged as a linux daemon with a built-in web interface it’s the perfect solution for me.

So if you’re looking for a simple way to remotely control bittorrent downloads on your linux machine I highly recommend Transmission.

Bank blir skyddat i domännamn

Bank blir skyddat i domännamn – IDG.se

Fram för mer censur och kontroll i Sverige. Vi lever tydligen i en tid då vi inte kan förväntas tänka själva utan myndigheterna ska beskydda oss från oss själva med allehanda lagar och regler.

Yes, I can confirm that Apple has approved the app. We’re happy but have had a great dialogue with Apple all the way. They’ve been great!

Hövdingen 5c (Redpoint, warm-up), Mapumbe 6b+ (one hang due to messed up hand sequence, did it on toprope afterwards for additional warm-up), Huggormen 7a (I did three tries. On the first I put up the draws and figured out from where to do the third clip. On the second and third tries I got through the crux only to go off when I got my left fingers a bit wrong on a crucial hold. Next time I’ll do it for sure!), La via del chato 6b+ (One hang as my memory failed me and I went a bit wrong, did it twice on toprope after to end the evening)

Twist 6b (Redpoint, warm-up), Apor på åkern 6c+ (Did three tries, on the second and third try I went off just at the top when I placed my left foot wrong), Huggormen 7a (I hadn’t tried this route before but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I did it bolt to bolt to get the rope up and then on toprope I quickly figured out the crux and did the crux moves twice. Then linked from the crux to the top easily), Korpen flyger 6a (Redpoint), El culo electrico 6b (Toprope)

Linux Bleeenux

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Apparently Linux in the year 2009 still can’t mount an OS X formatted external USB drive. In particular if there is a GUID Partition Table on the disk.

fdisk says there is no partition map, gparted crashes but does show some kind of partition map. However, all possible variants of mount fails to mount the disk.

If I plug the disk into my MacBook Pro laptop it immediately pops up mounted on the desktop. So how hard can it be? Now I’ll have to resort to copy the 650GB of data with scp over the network from my laptop to the macmini. That’s going to take a while…

Spotify förnekar avslag

Spotify förnekar avslag – IDG.se

Jobbig sits för Apple. Vi användare vill så klart ha Spotify i våra iPhones och iPod touchar, men vill verkligen Apple, som tjänar pengar när vi köper musik från iTunes Store att pengarna istället ska gå till premium abonnemang hos Spotify?

Ett möjligt krav för godkännande skulle kunna vara att Apple ska få del av dom pengarna, men går Spotify med på detta?
