It’s been a joke for years that Google will one day take over the world. They have a product in just about every market imaginable, and usually their product is either the best, or right up there with the leaders. What this does is makes it so that Google is sometimes the “default choice” if they offer a product in X market for many users.
I’ll be the first one to say that I don’t like relying on one company for too much. You run many risks, and I didn’t realize how much of a Google Puff I was until I actually started writing a list.
It's TulAmmo .223 hollow point 65 grain. It's steel cased, and Russian made. I wasn't expecting alot, but I've already shot 180 rounds, and I haven't had a single failure to fire, or failure to eject. I'm impressed.
I just recently re-started a folding client on my desktop. For those of you that don't know, folding at home is a very worthy project to contribute your idle cpu to if you have a powerful machine that's on all the time. Here is the description from their website:
I've decided that I will hold off on the handgun for a while. I've always been a long gun guy anyway, and I happen to have a little bit of extra cash now so that I can afford to buy one of the more expensive guns on my list, an AR-15.
Cron lets you schedule tasks. It's very flexible, and is a great way to say.. schedule your backups to run, or a reboot to happen during off hours.
One thing to note is that whatever user you are logged in as when you enter cron is who that command will be run as, each user has their own cron file. So, if something you want to do requires root privileged, then you need to set that up under the root cron.
I'm going to show you how to setup a scheduled reboot at 11pm every sunday. First, this does require root, so lets sign in as root
Have a debian box that you want to keep up to date?
Just install the package "unattended-upgrades", and it will automatically install all security updates that are released every 24 hours.
sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades
It's default configuration won't apply any updates that aren't labeled as security releases, and it won't reboot the server if required, but that's something that you can specify.
I use cherokee for my webserver because it's easy to configure, and much faster than Apache. For an example, this is something that would be a nightmare to setup on Apache, and took me about 2 minutes on Cherokee.
I've seen alot of arguments related to this recently, especially in relation to Battle Field 3. So, lets get this out right now.
Did you like Modern Warefare 2?
If yes, then you are probably going to like MW3. I always tend to prefer the Infinity Ward Call of Duty games, and I'm not sure why. The movement just seems that much more responsive, and I like the array of weapons better.
Ok, the time has come for me to get serious about what the next gun I'm going to get is.
This one is going to be a "home defense" handgun, that I can also take out and do some target practice with at <30 yards.
The main things I want are:
Made in USA
Inexpensive
Uses extremely available rounds
For all my guns, I'm limiting myself to ammo that's currently in use by the US military (with the exception of .22 LR). So that means, I've got 12 gauge, 9mm, .223, and .308 to work with.
The #! project needs a few people to volunteer to run a http mirror. For those of you that don't know, it's a debian based openbox desktop distribution. I don't run it on my main box, but it's something I experiment with occasionally. I'm already running a http mirror for them here: http://mirror.dustinhess.com/crunchbanglinux.org/
I may be switching where my webserver is located, but I'd still like to keep my backups on Amazon, as part of that, I was looking for a way to mount a S3 bucket locally to run my backups to. I found a cool project, S3FS that will help me accomplish that.
First, on debian, you need to get these packages installed: sudo apt-get install build-essential libfuse-dev fuse-utils libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev mime-support
I've found a solution to a few of the problems that I had with LMDE.
First, I have found that it can be updated automatically. Go to Package Manger > Settings > Repositories > Updates
From there you have the same options for automatic updates to be installed.
