logstalgia: pong-like apache log viewer

Article submitted by Andrew Caudwell

Logstalgia (inspired by glTail) is a website traffic visualization tool that replays or streams Apache access logs as a pong-like battle between the web server and an unrelenting army of requesting hosts. It is rendered using OpenGL, so you’ll need a 3D accelerated video card to run logstalgia.

Requests appear as colored balls (the same color as the host) which travel across the screen to arrive at the requested location. Successful requests are hit by the pong paddle while unsuccessful ones (such as 404s) are missed and pass through.

Active developers in Debian

Bubulle presented some statistics on Debian developers (DD) per country and the number of active DDs. It's hard to compare 223 active in USA to 23 in Sweden so I made some percentage counting to make them comparable.

Setting IP address

The IP addresses associated with any network cards you might have are read from the file /etc/network/interfaces.

A sample entry for a machine with a static address would look something like this:

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.3.90

gateway 192.168.3.1

netmask 255.255.255.0

network 192.168.3.0

broadcast 192.168.3.255

Comprimir ficheros en partes con RAR

En Debian Lenny desde los repositorios...

Para instalar la aplicación:
#apt-get install rar

Después de instalado, podemos comenzar a comprimir. Esta es la sintáxis:
$rar a -v<tamaño_deseado>m nombre_del_fichero

Ejemplo:
$rar a -v800m debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-DVD-1.iso

Esta orden creará varias partes segun el tamaño que hayamos elegido:
debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-DVD-1.part1.rar; debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-DVD-1.part2.rar; etc...

Mozo ¡Hay una Wiki en mi escritorio!

La idea de las wiki pages existe desde hace un tiempo, pero no fué sino hasta la aparición de la Wikipedia que se difundió más ampliamente el concepto de edición colaborativa de artículos y la vinculación estrecha de la información que estos presentan.

Why Debian?

My dance with GNU+Linux included several distributions, including (pre-Fedora) Red Hat, (pre-Novell) SUSE, and a few others. My initial choice of Red Hat was work-related, it was the distribution on my work computer, and I stuck with it for no apparent reason. My time with SUSE was based on the fact that it was a Red Hat derivative. At the time, I was tending toward the enterprise-based distributions because that was the sort of thing that I was using at my job.

But around 2005 or so, I had come to the realization that Red Hat and SUSE were too "Microsoft-ish" for me, and I decide that I needed a GNU+Linux distribution with which I could agree. To me, GNU+Linux became more than just an operating system. GNU+Linux became an attitude, a tangible representation of freedom.

Jenis-jenis linux

GNU/Linux atau dipanggil linux saja mempunyai berbagai specis. Jenis yang paling terkenal ramai orang guna ialah jenis berasaskan red hat dan berasaskan Debian.

Pada zaman dahulu nak menginstall software dalam linux sangat sukar terutama bagi pengguna yg baru. Semua sotware kena dibuat sendiri dari source code. Sudah 'make file' lepas tu pulak keluar kata file ini tak ada, fail itu tak ngam. Justru untuk memudahkan dan menarik pengguna linux baru pengeluar linux besar mencipta installer macam windows exe. Red hat buat jadi rpm, Debian buat jadi deb, suse punya installer pulak yast.

Debian Server: configurazione completata!

Eccomi qui, nella pausa di studio pomeridiana (e dopo mi ci rimetto) ho finito ora di configurare sul mio piccolo Celeron una Debian Server ETCH 4.0, perfettamente funzionante.

Ok, CPU Celeron, 128 MB di memoria RAM, non posso pretendere grandissime prestazioni, ma sinceramente, non mi lamento. Il sistema gira in maniera impeccabile!

Peccato ora mi manchi solo una bella scheda di rete PCI, per poter completare l'opera.

Domani andrò a prenderla, sperando di non sforare i 15 euro di budget ;) cosi da completare il Web Server casalingo.

Error en el paquete tzdata hace que Ubuntu y Debian muestren mal la hora

Según informa Horacio en la lista Lugro, hay un error en el paquete tzdata de Debian que ha originado que a partir de hoy (domingo 5) se muestre en forma errónea el Time Zone. Argentina es GMT-3, pero el TZDATA porfía con que Argentina es GMT-2, lo que da como resultado que estemos una hora adelantados.

Convierte tu dirección variable en un nombre DNS

La mayoría de los proveedores de Internet actuales no tienden a dar direcciones fija a sus clientes, esto complica el que podamos instalar nuestros servidores o acceder a nuestra máquina en el momento que queramos.

Para poder solucionar este pequeño "problema", surgen proveedores como dyndns, que lo que hacen es registrar las direcciones de dns sin dirección IP fija, y además de forma gratuita. En este artículo voy a explicar cómo configurarlo en Debian.

Contro le crisi di identità!

Se come me ogni tanto vi confondete e avete crisi di identità da uso sconsiderato della vostra shell preferita (mi riferisco alla amata bash) non potrete fare a meno di cogliere questi piccolo e inutile tip.

Per ottenere la differenziazione cromatica che vedete nell'immagine basta editare i file .bashrc nella vostra home :
/home/nomeutente/.bashrc
e in quella dell'utente root:
/root/.bashrc

In fondo al bashrc dell'utente inserite la seguente stringa:
PS1='\[33[37;44;1m\u@\h \[33[01;37m\]\W \$\[33[00m\] '
Mentre infondo a quella di root inserite questa:
PS1='\[33[37;41;1m\u@\h \[33[01;37m\]\W \$\[33[00m\] '
