why doesn't someone create a public Skype chat for SwiNOG? I think more people on this list have skype than IRC client software (me, for example :-) ----- Original Message ---- > From: Boris Meyer <boris(a)imp.ch> > To: swinog(a)swinog.ch > Sent: Monday, October 6, 2008 3:51:20 PM > Subject: Re: [swinog] IRC Server dead ? > > > PS: The actual list of all available servers is listed at: > http://irc.subcult.ch > > As a result of a DDoS against the SwissIX IP-Range the prefix of SwissIX > > is at the moment only reachable by its peers. > > > > We are working towards bringing the irc-server back online.

yes, Venty, everyone wants to know what you talk about in your private communications. don't be silly, just use it as any other public communication platform, be it Gmail or internet forums. If you need to transport sensitive data, use secure channels for it. If you need to communicate to few hundred of your contacts, there's not much alternative, because most of them use skype anyway. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Martin Ebnoether <ventilator(a)semmel.ch> > > > Skype is like MSN Messenger, just another ugly overloaded communication > > > tool. if I have to choose between skype and MSN, it's MSN, because there > > > are a lot of opensource and freeware alternatives to the bad Live > > > Messenger from Microschrott, ah Microsoft... :-) > > > > Well, it might be ugly, but at least it works in almost every situation. > > If it would not, they could not sniff into other peoples private > communications.

open source patch to coop and migros
by Zorg 421 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

I'm very much involved in the scene of goumoens-la-ville (doing theatre) and I must admit I don't write enough patches.The first real pride of mine in this area was fixing, well, not really, almost beeing able to fix a bug in... the linux kernel (waouw, tremendous!). it was about a kernel lockup when booting on some hardware. I've spent one night a one day investing, adding printk, recompiling, rebooting, pressing the reset button. it was in the keyboard driver (rocket science, the keyboard driver). Almost came with a patch (after some guidance from some genuinely nice folks on the LK mailing-list) to notice that when connecting both the mouse and the keyboard, not just the keyboard, the problem was solved (ohhh shit almost became famous). I threw away my patch, plugged the mouse, swallowed my pride, and, well, life is not too bad like this either.

So what, we're still using that :) If the tool serves my needs, I don't really care if it's open source - I'm not going to compile anything on my desktop anyway. And if it collects any marketing stats, so what, everyone is doing that, and we're helping them (Coop Supercard for example). There's nothing bad about companies knowing better what I might buy from them :-)

I can't resist. "...if it collects any marketing stats, so what, everyone is doing that..." Only from the unknowledgeable that don't control Javascript (NoScript), flash (etc.), cookies or 'stuff'. Therefore, you have skewed stats. "...There's nothing bad about companies knowing better what I might buy from them..." Yes, there is. scott -----------------------

Marc, the goal is not to build it from commodity parts, but to learn how to build such systems in general :) >From scratch, starting with custom kernel build, then tailored busybox, then web management and stuff... that's what I call open source: working with the source :-) ----- Original Message ---- > From: Marc SCHAEFER <schaefer(a)alphanet.ch> > To: swinog(a)swinog.ch > Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2008 6:56:06 PM > Subject: Re: [swinog] Embedded Linux practicing > > On Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 04:50:34AM -0700, Stanislav Sinyagin wrote: > > My first mini-project is to build a small Wifi (or even Bluetooth?) > > hotspot (only for home use, of course) which would take its Internet feed > > from one of those mobile USB GPS modems that you get for few francs a month > > from Swisscom or Sunrise. > > It is quite easy to do with the WL-500g WiFi access point, which has the > advantage of > > a) being compatible with standard systems (e.g. DD-WRT GNU/Linux) > > b) having an USB port you can plug the Swisscom Unlimited dongle > inside (the one which pretends to be a CD-ROM, uh, a tty) > > I think it costs about 120.-.
