Local Startup

This is a method to control start-up of applications in a Linux Desktop session that are run by a local default configuration, but can also be overriden by the user. This is unlike the /etc/xdg/autostart which is mostly under the control of the distro packager. Aslo unlike the /etc/X11/profile.d directory, this runs inside the Desktop Session. /etc/X11/profile.d gets started before the Desktop session is available. ...

Global hotkeys

To make it easier to switch desktop environment I am using a Desktop Environment independant hot keys configuration using xbindkeys. This lets me use the same keybindings on different Window managers and Desktop Environments. This code can be found in github. Included are the follwoing: ...

Nanowiki

NanoWiki is a Wiki implementation based on picowiki. I have been using SimpleNote for a number of years. It works pretty well but somehow I was looking for: Ability to include and render nice asciiart pictures Organizes articles in a folder structure. ...

Chrome Kerberos Authentication

To config chrome to use kerberos authentication you need to start the application the following parameter: auth-server-whitelist - Allowed FQDN - Set the FQDN of the IdP Server. Example: chrome --auth-server-whitelist="*aai-logon.domain-a.com" auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist - For which FQDN credential delegation will be allowed. ...

Driving Continuous Integration from Git

Testing, code coverage, style enforcement are all check-in and merge requirements that can be automated and driven from Git. If you're among the rising number of Git users out there, you're in luck: You can automate pieces of your development workflow with Git hooks. Hooks are a native Git mechanism for firing off custom scripts before or after certain operations such as commit, merge, applypatch, ...

SSH Tricks

A bunch of stupid SSH tricks that can be useful somehow, somewhere... Forcing either IPv4 or IPv6 This is for the scenario that you know which specific protocol works to reach a particular host. Usually good to eliminate the delay for SSH to figure out to switch IP protocols. For IPv4: ssh -4 [email protected] ...

Remote Bridging

Sometimes we need to connect two or more geographically distrubuted ethernet networks to one broadcast domain. There can be two different office networks of some company which uses smb protocol partially based on broadcast network messages. Another example of such situation is computer cafes: a couple of computer cafes can provide to users more convinient environment forr playing multiplayer computer games without dedicated servers. Both sample networks in this article need to have one *nix server for bridging. Our networks can be connected by any possible hardware that provides IP connection between them. Connecting Two Remote Local Networks With Transparent Bridging Technique Short description In described configuration we are connecting two remote LANs to make them appearing as one network with 192.168.1.0/24 address space (however physically, presense of bridges in network configuration is not affecting IP protocol and is fully transparent for it, so you can freely select any address space). Both of the bridging servers has two network interfaces: one (as eth0 in our example) connested to the LAN, and second (eth1) is being used as transport to connect networks. When ethernet tunnel between gateways in both networks will be bringed up we will connect tunnel interfaces with appropriate LAN interfaces with bridge interfaces. Schematically this configuration can be following: +-------+ +-------+ | br0 | | br0 | ...
