New Software for Ubuntu [packaging-needed]

Ubuntu has a big software archive. And from release to release this mostly grows. However - I was always wondering what the new packages would be in the Ubuntu repos.

I think commander showed me a way with diff. Thanks!

This is another way:
I made a RSS-Feed for the packages that are asked to become part of the repos on launchpad. Some of the software will not make it into the repos. But if it is interesting to you you can activly take part in the process. - Or just take a curious look if it would be something nice for your own.

Use it! share it! - But don't overload it. - It will not update more than 2-3 times in 24 hours.

Windows Firewall - Is the sufficient?

stubbornly holds to the view that an independent Personal Firewall is essential. This is a relic from the past, because the connection firewall that XP has Service Pack 2 and activate Vista bring from home, and sufficient. It blocks all access from the Internet onto your computer, unless you release a single application. More must be a firewall can not, for outgoing connections can not control anyway reliable. A firewall provides additional resources thus no significant value. On the contrary, particularly innocent users, they also confused with alarming messages, rather than block the innocent usually hits just implied. The danger of harm to a Personal Firewall is more than useful, especially for inexperienced users quite given. However, there are programs that disable the Windows Firewall. This includes, for example, some DSL Service Providers. If your PC has a DSL or wireless router to go online, you need to worry about the firewall but no big worry, because your router is inherently the function of a firewall connection. For notebooks, but you should make sure that the firewall for the wireless connection is active, so that the public hotspot no nasty surprises.
Warning: Even after uninstalling some of their personal firewalls, the Windows firewall enabled does not always automatically. The Security Center provides information on the status of the Firewall bleats and possibly with a red icon in the taskbar.


The configuration of Windows Firewall, for example, reach over the "Network and Internet Connections Control Panel, or via the" Security Center "where you can share about specific network programs to receive incoming connections.
Conclusion:
addition to regular updates of the operating system and programs, ranging from anti-virus software and the Windows firewall to protect their computers against malware. The purchase of an expensive Internet Security Suite, which makes it in many cases, the PC still slow is really for the average user are not necessary.

Philips Tv Tuner Has Sound But Black Screen

Opera Unite ... Impression after a few days. do eyepiece crash in full screen mode currently use

The new version of Opera " Unite" has made an impression on me, as I described in my previous blog post.



In recent days I've occasionally casually acquainted with the functions. I also read the responses to the announcement of Opera while a reference to the Firefox plugin " Plain Old Webserver " noticed that I did not know before. - I the Firefox add- have not tested extensively. The plug is about the wonderful plugin interface in Firefox installs quickly and easily. - A wiki just helps at the facility. - However: It does for me in a better league "Geek" , even if it is really easy to set up - and not in the league "family friendly " .



League "geek" - and League "family friendly".

Why? - It starts with the first impression. When Firefox plugin: "Drag this link to your desktop" - and a "quick start to read a wiki page. Yes. It's fast, but with Opera Unite eliminates this completely. - Likewise, the really simple installation of the integrated plug-in interface in Firefox. ... In Opera: It's built . Please click on "start" and a chat in progress. (Note:.! It's available for chats Firefox plugins ... - These require a basic knowledge of IRC for example - no thing ... For Geeks ) If you run "file sharing", pops up the window, causing the folder is chosen. - The right is the URL. Second, the option to just take the folder with password-free. - A secure password for this is already suggested (changeable).



The proxy and the freedom

In the initial reactions from skeptics in regards Opera Unite, which I found on Twitter and my blog posts, was often talk of that the freedom that Opera promises, not quite as large as they say. As far as I understand it, it refers to the full-bodied advertising the "web revolution" by the browser.

think I basically want to do home server just that: to give consumers options in the hand to be self-productive. Whether you take your mouth so full of must start with a single program a "revolution", it can be safely divided ...

was criticized at the Opera-model, however, the proxy server in Opera. - Access to your pages you can get through this cache. ... Here it is again a question of trust. - Opera has been no reason given that one should doubt the reputation. - But the content is made available in the default settings of Opera-computer in the network.

This has thorough advantages: The proxy allows in restrictive environments in the first operation of / the server. Another advantage: The simple URL. The URL can be reached with the Opera Unite is actually available now. - And it consists not of numbers and port numbers, but from a user selected computer name and the Benutzernamen@operaunite.com.

This is not a geek stuff ... that's what I mean by "family-friendly .



The simplicity of the difference would Make ... speaks

So far for me is still very much to Unite the Opera " non-geek" - the average user - to recommend ... If! - And that's the reason I write this comparison, if the problem of accessibility is achieved. - In theory, everything is as described above, at least organized well thought out. - But a disturbing number of points. The software is still in his respect of the first beta-test "in the wild. The technique is still not as stable and usable call (!).

also seems to me the proxy occasionally slowing the rest. Slowing? - The pages are sometimes / often impossible to reach! - And then relieve the advantage of the private web server in the browser ... And if he is still yet chic. In the beta phase, therefore, is the verdict: NOT FAMLIENFREUNDLICH . - And I'm very anxious to see if Opera can get the problems under control. For beta property "fully usable" course is not expected. But Opera has yet to prove that the service will be also real.


PS On the website of Opera was released shortly after the publication also provides guidance on how to bypass the proxy, or your own web address can use (eg via DynDNS). Schick! - But not as " famlienfreundlich " but comparable to the plugin in Firefox.

PPS The Firefox plug-in allows the way, unlike Opera Unite, and the use of Python and PHP! - Very smart, in my opinion! - Here is the Firefox plugin with a good geek way! - Opera is against this family-friendly by greater security. Opera is only on javascript. Some offer features that other browsers via Javascript to run globally, to Opera only on the server side in the plugins (writing files). - Again a sensible solution, I think.

How Long Do The Effects Of Anorexia Take To Show

Seemingly good news for NVIDIA graphics card owners the KDE4

The new Opera browser (download the beta version ) Unite "fun! - I have just spent several days so I set up different web services on Linux, all running on my laptop. So whenever I'm even with the device in the network. - Now comes out the beta of Opera - and makes all this possible in 3 minutes. Famlientauglich, simple, helpful! A service that's fun!



Certainly I have a few more liberties with their own services. Freedom I would not like to take. - But the whole thing is connected with much more thought than what this Opera browser offers ...

time to unlock just one document folder to share a brief chat about the content library with friends (which has radio quality) - but only with friends (I) - of, or just for yourself (from a remote computer ).

The funniest part for me is probably not even in it for my own computer: set up the server on Linux to have is essentially good. - But to simply say to friends, "You can too!" - Makes me really excited!

Incidentally, I must say that such approaches have long straight KDE offers. - For example, with PCF. - And now, from the next version of KDE with what is so beautiful as "Social Desktop". While PCF in the shadows on the undervalued KDE3 desktop-ended, Opera does, however, still more! - Suitable and relevant for all desktop platforms - And even easier!
