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.

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!

Proxy.pac generator
I made a simple bash script that generates a proxy auto configuration file. The PAC file generated redirects all matching rules through the proxy. The only issue at the moment, is that, once the list gets big, it’s not very performance-friendly. Something I’ll try to fix in the coming days. I’m using this script to…

Compile wget on Mac OS X
There’s a precompiled wget available on the net, but it’s not automatically accepting StartSSL’s certificates. And as it seems, there’s a wget update available that did. This is what I had to do to compile it on my Macbook Pro; Or you’ll get this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables PATH=/Developer/usr/bin/:$PATH tar xvzf…

Dropbox & Debian
Dropbox has been removed from the Debian package list due to licensing issues. However, there’s still a way to download and install Dropbox on your Debian box without attempting to compile the source code. Head over to Linux Mint and download both Dropbox (version 1.0.1) and Nautilus-Dropbox (version 0.6.7-lmde > i386 or amd64). run: dpkg -i…
