To get squeezeboxserver working on Fedora, add the following to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:

# squeezebox
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3483 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 3483 -j ACCEPT

At $newjob I'm using a late 2011 MacBook Pro, so I've had to relearn some keys for IRSSI. The important ones to me are:

• fn + up arrow / down arrow: for viewing the backscroll (page up / page down)
• Setting an option key to "+esc" under iTerm2 so I can hold down the key and use left and right arrows to move through open windows.

After nearly seven years, Friday marked my last day at Red Hat. I'm taking a week off to focus on growing my beard and brewing a lot, before starting my next adventure.

If you need to reach me, I'm still on teh internets.

If you're expecting curl --cert somefile.pem to work, and you keep getting 403s in response, it might be because your curl is compiled against NSS, and that cert is being interpreted as an alias to an NSS DB entry. Use curl --cert ./somefile.pem instead. Fwiw, this is documented in the curl man page, but who looks there?

...Or use wget instead.

If you need an implementation of an HTTP CONNECT client to tunnel SSL (or anything else) through a proxy using Netty, Chris Duryee and I recently landed a patch to do so in Thumbslug.

By all means, make use of it!

The original changeset is here.

My new app, Camopic, is now live on Google Play (only $0.99! cheap!). Camopic uses steganography to hide a picture inside a different jpeg image. You can then share that image with another Camopic user, who will be able to reveal and view your hidden image.

This basically sums it up:

Google Play: Camopic $0.99

Using Android's Roboto font is pretty easy on Fedora (or any other Linux flavour). Just download the Roboto zip, open it up, copy the ttf files into your ~/.fonts dir, and refresh your font cache. From there, you can use the font in any program (though you may need to reload it first).

Here are the steps:

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/design/Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip
unzip Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip
mkdir ~/.fonts
mv Roboto_Hinted_20111129/*.ttf ~/.fonts
fc-cache
