Sat Dec 12 13:24:57 2009 GMT: Offsite Backups
Famous last words (from codinghorror): "I had backups, mind you, but they were on the virtual machine itself :(" (also see reddit).
BTW, I am currently backing up via webdav to mydrive.ch using my own webdav scripts to compress and encrypt the files on the fly. It's completely free for up to 2 GB of data...
Mon Dec 07 20:34:26 2009 GMT: Opera IPv6 Update
From further discussions on the opera.linux newsgroup, my understanding is that IPv6 has essentially been disabled on Opera (for Linux AMD64?) because they can't figure out when to use IPv6 and when to go for IPv4 only (because the machine might not have IPv6 connectivity).
Tue Dec 01 18:38:13 2009 GMT: Opera IPv6 Bug Reported
Based on initial feedback in the opera.linux newsgroup, I have now filed a proper bug report (DSK-272658) for the IPv6 issues I am seeing in Opera 10.10. Let's see if this will be worked on or fixed...
Mon Nov 30 20:51:55 2009 GMT: No IPv6 in Opera 10.10
I just noticed that IPv6 support in Opera 10.10 is completely broken (or maybe has been disabled or whatever) - at least on Ubuntu 9.10 (for AMD64). This is really disappointing - and maybe even time to look for another default browser (ELinks still works fine, so it can't be the setup)...
Sun Nov 29 20:22:24 2009 GMT: Linux KVM
I am just playing around with Linux KVM, trying to install/run a couple of other operating systems like NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris and Haiku.
Unfortunately, not all of these systems run as seamless as I had hoped. Well, Haiku seems to run fine, but NetBSD 5.0.1 (for AMD64) doesn't recognise any of the emulated network adapters, FreeBSD 8.0 (for AMD64) doesn't think the CPU supports 64-bit mode and OpenSolaris runs very slowly. FreeBSD 8.0 (for i386) appears to run fine, although the installation could really do with some better error handling when installing from the Internet (it doesn't really tell you what's wrong and doesn't let you fix it easily).
