Gentoo is a GNU/Linux distro characterized by building all your software from the source code, Gentoo users often claim how much speed boost they got, Forgetting the long time they had to spend building the software. They also like to use weired optimization flags when they build the software resulting in breakage of the system.

Lighty powering foolab.org

from foolab.org on Sun, 19/02/2006 - 01:58
Yes, I've discovered that Lighttpd is now in Debian, I grabbed the sarge backport from backports.org and here it is!
Probably you won't notice anything, Maybe the server'll be a bit faster. But for me, I can serve more requests now as lighty is more lightweight than Apache ;-)
Graphs ? Generated every minute. ;-)


As you can see, I don't have much requests but why not use something that can allow me to expand ? :-)
Probably I won't leave the graphs for long, I'm just enjoying the rrdtool module of lighttpd!

Linux 2.6 SUX!

from foolab.org on Sat, 18/02/2006 - 05:04

First, I know that I should STFU because I'm not going to write a patch to fix it but I can't as I'm not a kernel developer and the knowledge I have about the kernel development is the same as the knowledge I have about T.V internals ;-)

Generate random passwords under GNU/Linux...

from foolab.org on Sat, 11/02/2006 - 02:30

Well, I want to generate random passwords for people I give subdomains.

Since creating the subdomain involves a lot of steps, I decided to automate it a bit.

And since I only install the most needed things on the server, I decided to create a small script to generate the random password for me as I don't feel like installing a password generator.

Minimalistic RSS feed aggregator.

from foolab.org on Wed, 08/02/2006 - 15:56

Ali of OpenCraft wanted an RSS feed aggregator that'll display the latest items like what we see on the T.V.

I had a perl script that'll grab the latest items and email them to you. I modified it to print the titles to the standard output. You can then use osd_cat to display it.

Arab source brainstorming meeting is over. I'm tired, My left eye is stillhurting.
I really need a vacation as I didn't spend an hour at home during the last2 days except to sleep.
