Vim Tip of the Week : August 31, 2007 – Remote Editing

31-Aug-07

I’ll preface this post with a quote from one of our local users, findlay:
11:15 < findlay-w> I can edit google’s homepage from within vim?!
11:15 < findlay-w> now that’s a powerful editor!
That’s right vim is a powerful editor! Now, of course, you can’t publicly change Google’s homepage with vim but you can edit it [...]

How To Run a Tor Server : Donate bandwidth to the Tor Network

31-Aug-07

More and more I’ve been using ssh tunneling, encrypted emails or privacy networks while I’m online. Between (US) government sponsored wiretaps, to identity theft there are plenty of people out there that want to know what you’re doing and get your information. This is one of the reasons I recently looked into [...]

Ubuntu Tutorials Donation for July : Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)

30-Aug-07

As I mentioned nearly a month ago I have decided to donate a portion of the earnings from this site to a Free Software or related project each month.  The first month I pledged to donate 25% of the monies earned, and that I have done.  The first donation has gone to help the EFF [...]

#6 FTW!*

30-Aug-07

I’m sure many of you have seen this “Best Ubuntu Blogs” post.  I just wanted to brag that over here at Ubuntu Tutorials we’re (read: me) are number 6.  You know, I’ve always liked the number 6.
*FTW : geek-speak, meaning “For the Win!”

Mutt Question For The Masses

29-Aug-07

I’m back on another phase of “all email clients suck” and back to Mutt again.  I *almost* have it configured to all of my (needy) specs, except for one thing.  I can’t seem to open encrypted email.  I can sign fine, I can encrypt fine, but when I try to open an encrypted email sent [...]

Which Is Less Evil? Ndiswrapper or Binary-Blobs?

24-Aug-07

So as you read earlier I’ve rebuilt my laptop today using Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy” Tribe 5.  I’ve been on a bug-rampage today (I need to get my LP karma up!), one of the bugs being that I have no wireless out of the box.
Now, I want to present you all with the options and see [...]

Vim Tip of The Week : August 24th, 2007 – Vim-Full

24-Aug-07

This tip will be a quick one, and I want to thank one of the commentors on a previous post for pointing this out to me.  The vim that comes installed on your base machine is not the full vim, for some reason.  I guess its the basic “this’ll get the job done”-vim, but not [...]

Folding v0.4 “Kickstart” Release

21-Aug-07

Please consider downloading the latest version of folding instead.
Well according to my records it has been nearly a month since I last updated my folding project. I don’t know if that means it was written well, or if I’ve been neglecting it. In any event I have updated the script based on a [...]

Comcast Is Starting The Tiered Internet.. Whether We Like It or Not

21-Aug-07

Update: Visit Save The Internet and let your voice be heard!
Sunday afternoon I finished setting up a dedicated rtorrent server for seeding Ubuntu .iso images. I do my best to hand out all the CDs I can, but I also figured I could make use of the bandwidth I have to do the same. [...]
