  • Gentoo & Samba hanging boot and refusing to start

    I recently took a server from for maintenance (PSU burned down) and quickly noticed it hung at boot (hangs at Samba starting). I went into interactive boot mode and skipped Samba. Thinking it was a networking issue (server has static IP & routing set up) which didn’t match my home network. Set up dhcp, changed…

  • Munin & Bind9_rndc

  • *oops*

  • I know someone whose 2-factor phone authentication was hacked…

    […] Attacker finally says to friend “I know all your details, I know all about you; if you let me get away with a little bit of money, I will leave you alone.”  And then a negotiation on how much is a little bit proceeds.  Friend says “I’ll think about it” and hangs up. […]…

  • Adium & Facebook

    If you’re like me, and been unable to log in to your Facebook chat through Adium for months… This is the fix: Basically, when adding your Facebook account, Adium opens some webpage asking you to login. I always logged in using my e-mail address (as… that was what the page was actually asking!). I always…

  • There is not enough memory or disk space to run the grammar checker

    There is not enough memory or disk space to run the grammar checker

    Word (or Office in general) refusing to get proofing tools to work (spelling checker doesn’t work, spawns these odd errors, won’t find any spelling mistakes, etc). Lots of Googling and running Microsoft “fixit” applications didn’t do much. Simple fix: run setup of the proofing tools again, and select repair, reboot, and all should be good.

  • iPhone could not be restored

    Jailbreaking my old iPhone 2G (Edge version). It was a bit hard to find software that would still allow me to jailbreak this 2G. Soooow, I mirrored all I used. Bootloader: 3.9 or 4.6 PwnageTool: 3.1.5 Be aware: you will need iTunes 9 (or 8, I guess) — iTunes 10 gives an error: “iPhone could…

  • socket: Permission denied

    After upgrading my Guruplug Display from Lenny to Squeeze I came along an odd error; every non-root user was unable to access anything related to the internet. NTP: Mar 26 20:31:50 localhost ntpd[1055]: ./../lib/isc/unix/ifiter_ioctl.c:348: unexpected error: Mar 26 20:31:50 localhost ntpd[1055]: making interface scan socket: Permission denied Mar 26 20:35:09 localhost ntpd[1055]: ntpd exiting on…

  • sudo: must be setuid root

    Got this error on my Guruplug Display after messing with it. Neither was I able to use su, or any other important command. After many chmods, chowns, and cursing — check your mount (in /etc/fstab) options… 😉 Be sure / is not mounted with nosetuid Reboot and enjoy!
