While my 2010 Macbook Pro is at the Apple Repair shop for a (most likely) faulty GPU I borrowed a Macbook Air from Christophe. These are my random thoughts about it:

• It's light. Very light. My bag is now too big and I can barely feel it hanging at my shoulder.
• It's light. Very light. I used to, when moving around (for example when testing WiFi, changing desks, going to a meeting, etc), jungle my Macbook Pro on one hand, with the display open and everything, and it would stay on my three or four fingers very nicely. With the Air, I can't just move around like this as even the wind/air might knock it off my hand. Paper aeroplane comes into my mind.
• The CPU is somewhere near the letters 1-2-3-A-Z-E-Q-S (Azerty keyboard). I tend to let my fingers rest between the keys on the bare metal. This can get quite hot. I have never noticed this with the MBP.
• The keyboard of the Air is better. Smoother. More fun to hit. Nicer muffled sound. Hard to explain. Perhaps also because this keyboard hasn't been used as often.
• It stills seems ... breakable. Not as robust.
• I don't like the bezel. WHY APPLE WHY? It's metal instead of the nicer black glass that covers everything.

And moar and moar.

And thus, we can assume, they had (have?) access to a lot of European instances and personnel, both residing here in Belgium and roaming using BGC’s network.

And not a single fuck was giving. Not one. Please remain calm and keep on hypnotoad.

If GCHQ was indeed the agency concerned then this investigation is unlikely to go anywhere and the most that can be expected is some sort of diplomatic complaint from Belgium to the UK, its EU and Nato partner.

There’s this howto that explains how to set up the RPi as ad blocker.

I’ve two RPi’s acting a router and was already running dnsmasq. I decided to give it a try. Note that this howto can actually be used on any DNS serving Linux server.

First of all, don’t go with the pixelserv as it crashes after a few minutes.

Apache is an option that worked fine. A general hint: if you’re already running Apache or whatever on port 80, just add a 2nd static IP and make Apache listen to that.
