Nice find.

In case any one wants to compare with the gnome and kde default ones:

poorly secured access points - which is what I've been asked to help them with.
Since most wireless authentication schemes can be cracked in minutes with a bit of hardware, you're probably better of just running an ipsec vpn on top of it or something in order to access the network :D

Non-Windows Software / Re: A new section for Linux, cross-platform code, embedded, mac, android, ios, etc.
« on: August 30, 2013, 01:28 PM »
Come on gothic, there's plenty of room for everyone.

Actually, as it stands now on most of the unmoderated internet, there isn't.
Postings related to popular technologies and platforms drive out the more obscure things (which is logical because they are popular).
The problem with this is that there is no place for people who are actually interested in these obscure things.
When anything is allowed, the "wisdom" of crowds governs, which in practice drives everything towards monoculture.

Non-Windows Software / The comprehensive IRIX audio software list
« on: August 30, 2013, 10:44 AM »
Many old IRIX workstations still make a pretty decent audio workstation today.

The SGI Octane for example, has a mere 3ms audio input-to-output latency out of the box, and they come with Alesis ADAT 8-channel, 24-bit optical ports are built-in, along with S/PDIF or AES/EBU optical and coaxial ports.

On top of that, there is quite a big list of audio software for the platform out there, many of it still relevant and very usable today. By default Irix comes with a pretty decent mutitrack recording program. Hunting down all the Irix audio software is a bit tricky. Whomever said nothing ever gets deleted from the internet obviously never has researched old obscure stuff :)

There's a list on sgi's old ftp that's rotting away. It is ridden with broken links and it's own pages don't even link to one another correctly anymore, and I have a feeling one of these days it's going to just vanish completely as SGI/rackable is dropping it's legacy IRIX support this year.

So I started copying the list and reformatting it on the reddit /r/IRIX subreddit wiki:

http://www.reddit.co.../wiki/audio_software

There's some pretty fascinating software in that list.

Now using fluxbox, thanks to Gothi[c]'s tiling patch (ArrangeWindowsStack*).

Patch is now officially in fluxbox :) Grab the git version and you'll have it included.

Non-Windows Software / Screenshot thread!
« on: August 30, 2013, 10:22 AM »
So, here's a thread to kick off this new section. Post your OS screenshots! Use GNU+Linux, HP-UX, Plan9, z/OS, GCOS, MCP, *BSD, anything else? Share what it looks like! :)
Here's my humble contribution:

SGI IRIX:

Fresh install on an Indigo2:

Screenshots from my octane:

GNU+Linux:

4DWM running on GNU+Linux through X11 forwarding over SSH:

Fluxbox window manager on GNU+Linux:

Solaris:

Fresh install of Solaris 10 booted in CDE:

After some time messing with it, this is what it looks like now:

That 'last' page was intended to be first, as a message header/intro.
It's not really encoded at all.
I'm sure someone will figure it out :D

I might end up posting there more than here.

I don't know why though.

I like the subreddit-system and how there's very specialized groups of interest, and the way you can combine subreddit views.
I hate the voting system, and the algorithm that shows the top posts on the 'hot' page (it ends up favoring small light/funny posts over posts with interesting/original content)

Living Room / Products designed to fail, a documentary
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:29 PM »
In case you need yet another thing to piss you off in this world,
Here's an interesting documentary I found that confirms what I always suspected: how nowadays products are designed to fail from the start...

Developer's Corner / Re: Herb Sutter's brief look at C++11
« on: November 01, 2011, 02:33 AM »
Use auto wherever possible. It is useful for two reasons. First, most obviously it’s a convenience that lets us avoid repeating a type name that we already stated and the compiler already knows.

// C++98
map<int,string>::iterator i = m.begin();
 
// C++11
auto i = begin(m);


Second, it’s more than just a convenience when a type has an unknown or unutterable name, such as the type of most lambda functions, that you couldn’t otherwise spell easily or at all.

I'm not sure how much I like this... I mean,.. Isn't this type of thing exactly why we have typdef's ?
At least a typedef still gives you an idea of what type a variable will be, or at least make it relatively easy to look up the type definition in the code. Looking up the return value of begin() in stl seems like more of a pain in the rear, and this is just a simple example... :S


[Select]
typedef std::vector<std::string> strvector;

// ...

strvector foo = func(); // <- this seems more useful/readable than:

auto foo = func(); // <- no idea wtf foo is from looking at it.

General Software Discussion / Re: Goodbye OpenOffice, Hello LibreOffice
« on: June 04, 2011, 12:01 PM »
I signed up at Oracle for news and they called me, left a message to call them.
Yes they have my #, but no big deal to me.

I don't think they have what I would use, ever.

But considering they called, I suspect there is an aggressive sales force to incorporate their products as a business standard, of which I have not much to do with.

Oracle has been doing that since the 90's
I remember getting a call from them about their oracle database products way back in the 90's just because i had created an account to download something (forget what) ...

Official Announcements / Re: DC Server Down for 3 hours on June 4, 2011 due to datacenter power outage
« on: June 04, 2011, 11:43 AM »
That is bizarre. Don't they have redundant power? Was it a blackout? Brownout?

I host with Softlayer in Texas. They've been excellent.
-Renegade (June 04, 2011, 07:51 AM)

The entire datacenter went dark completely.

Normally they have UPS'es and battery banks to keep things runing until the generators kick in.
The UPS'es "couldn't handle the load" according to them, and everything went down.

It wasn't a brownout as it took quite a bit for them to restore power.
