Datashack Stirrings

Posted 07-20-2014 at 08:54 AM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

One of my ongoing projects, for the purpose of facilitating other projects, is the conversion of our wellhouse to a "datashack" and light workshop. The goal is to run various computers in it without introducing undue noise or heat to the main house.

It's been a while in the coming, but it's coming. Yesterday marked two big steps: I moved my computer cabinet from the garage (where I basically never got to run the systems mounted in it) to the wellhouse, and I installed...

A clock as the header of Openbox' root menu

Posted 07-15-2014 at 04:15 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 07-16-2014 at 06:35 PM by the dsc (grammar?)

If you want a clock instead of the typical "openbox"-labeled separator at the top of the root menu. The way to do that isn't the most nice and convenient way imaginable, though. Essentially you have the root menu as a pipe menu.


The executed script is just a sed one liner:

Code:
 sed "s|INSERT-CLOCK-HERE|$(date +'%-H:%M')|" $HOME/.config/openbox/menu-sed.xml
This a "24 hour" clock format, without leading zeros,...

To move files "copied" on clipboard (Konqueror/perhaps dolphin) to the place you're on a terminal, without navigating/browsing the folders on the file manager, one can use:

xsel -b | while read f ; do mv -i "${f#*file://}" ./ ; done

As "copied" files on Konqueror are registered on the clipboard as a list with "file://" preceding the path. Perhaps could be aliased...

Pyplate now uses WSGI instead of CGI

Posted 07-10-2014 at 01:09 AM by Pyplate

I've updated Pyplate again. This time the UI hasn't changed much, but I've done a lot of work under the hood. I've added a bunch of fixes which should make Pyplate much more secure.

I've also switched moved away from CGI amd updated Pyplate to use WSGI. This has made a huge difference to the page load time of dynamic pages. Performance with static pages hasn't really changed.

There's now a simple web server supplied with Pyplate. It's a little slower than Nginx...

Interesting "ask ubuntu" message related to swappiness tweaks

Posted 07-09-2014 at 09:06 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
