I fixed a minor problem with the UFW in my Lubuntu installation a few minutes ago.

By relaying DNS queries to local dnsmasq instances, debugging DNS servers in newer Ubuntu releases is no longer strictly file-based.

I applied a classical (in the context of Debian) upgrade on my Linux Mint installation and even though Mint is not recommending this option (instead their favorite is a fresh install with restore). Nevertheless my system still works without drawbacks.

In general the Presenter R400 works fine, it’s immediately active after the USB receiver is plugged in and the keys representing Page Up/Down are working out of the box. Thus presentations in LibreOffice/OpenOffice, PDF Viewer (in my case Okular) and Google Docs are stepping forward and backwards using the main keys.

In contrast the smaller keys for jumping to presentation mode and disabling the display are sending codes, that the KDE desktop can’t process.

I was reading news from freshmeat.net for such a long time and now it’s gone.

Got a “present” recently: A discarded Asus O!Play Mini

At least on Linux Mint Petra the mount of an SD card will not survive suspend mode.

My experiences with generic lean and functional crawlers for the internet started with Alta Vista.

I recently upgraded my iPhone 5 to an Optimus G, which fits better to the profile of a Linux User and after I was never satisfied with the results of Siri (at least in German), the voice recognition of Google Now is in comparison more than convincing.
