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.

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,

Some useful tidbits to use when using the OpenWRT embedded web
server (uHTTPD).
Embedded Lua
uHTTPd supports running Lua in-process, which can speed up Lua CGI
scripts. It is unclear whether LuCI supports running in this embedded
interpreter. LuCI seems to work fine (if not better) with the embedded

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:
