What?!?!?!

Awesome LHC pictures by Boston.com.

As I often have people asking for the files I use to make my pretty MRTG graphs; I’ll publish them here.

Here are some examples:

Zero - One - Four - vm1 - Sauron

The config files:

Sauron (including Squid stats),

Zero (including fan stats).

List of files included:

• indexmaker; simple script (included with MRTG) to generate a simple index file with all the graphs
• snmp-if.sh; will show you the IDs of the interfaces on the server/pc. These IDs have to be edited in the mrtg.cfg file; e.g.:

Target[eth0]: 2:public@localhost:

The joy of the internet.

If Apple was so kind to give you tethering (and didn’t silently remove it after an update), or if you just happen to have enabled it using, let’s say, the alternative method. And you happen to be forced to use Windows, and you really are tired of XP, and Vista surely isn’t an option; you’re probably running Windows 7.

To enable tethering on the iPhone + Windows; just pair the bluetooth devices (I actually haven’t tried with USB yet, and don’t really plan on doing that), Windows will start to QQ about it being unable to find a suitable driver for the iPhone… I even installed iTunes to see if the message would go away, but apparently it won’t. I’ll have to do some more Googling later on.

After getting the Hamachi 2 update (without a prior notice, nicely done… No more auto update if they continue to break stuff) I started to notice a bunch of XPs receiving this error after a reboot: Failed to connect to the engine.

Hamachi is auto started, at boot, because we have a shortcut in the startup folder. No other way to auto start the free version (as far as I know).
