The blog of a man stuck in the ice. The N900 boost: getting the turn-based navigator in. It has been a while since I was excited about the new (back then) N900. The new application comes in a zip file, you un-zip it on the root of the Internal Nokia N900. I love even more the N900. It has everything that a Linux freak can want (well the most anyway). I hope that Nokia will keep this thing up and with Intel we will see better devices, with better UI and having the best of Free Software running so that...

The blog of a man stuck in the ice. OpenSSH key, Amazon EC2 RSA, Android and dropbear (from Terminal IDE). Here is the thing: I have quite complicated SSH key (uses AES-128-CBC) and while there are posts about converting the openssh key to dropbear format, they fail to mention that the openssh key needs to be in some PEM (or more streamline) format. That might seam easy, but when you try to convert using the common example, you might end up getting an error like this:. Now, that sucks! At this point, tec...

The blog of a man stuck in the ice. Console rulez (as in linux console). Yep, once again I find myself dragged into blabbing about the beauty of the consoles. I had some troubles with the network and the only way to work in the servers room was, you guessed, console. Now, I want to briefly share some goodies with you:. Awesome tool for helping you with debugging the wifi signal at the server (if you have such thing at the server). Another good tool to test the performance between two points on the network.

Ex glacie gaudium: Recovering from a major RAID5 with 2 disks failing out of 4
http://blog.antoniac.name/2013/09/recovering-raid5-with-2-disks-failing.html
The blog of a man stuck in the ice. Recovering from a major RAID5 with 2 disks failing out of 4. Yes The title is a bit unrealistic, because if you have 2 disks failing out of 4, you are out of business. But I was lucky. One disk was failing into WRITE. At least that is what S.M.A.R.T. was saying). The other one was failing into READ. Well, I didn't need S.M.A.R.T. to tell me anything, it just failed! Is there anything else but Linux for these kind of jobs anyway? And here is where I got lucky! Cat /proc...

The blog of a man stuck in the ice. Back to work: need a new laptop.but in Europe.(update). There you go: I am back at work and thinking and reviewing the laptops available. Best found so far was the: Panasonic CF-R8. Brilliant design, light, SSD, 802.11n, gigaEthernet, and light, I mean 910 grams. Beat that. Only problem is to order it in Europe. What is it with Europe that we cannot get cool things here? Update 1: Found even the link from Panasonic webpages. Thanks to a friend from Japan. An alternate ...
