World IPv6 Launch

I’d like to remember today is the World IPv6 Launch, lots of websites can be reached using IPv6 starting from today (including linuxsystems of course).

You can find the full list here: http://www.worldipv6launch.org/participants/?q=1

P.S. It’s a good moment to choke your provider’s lines asking for native IPv6 support 😉

Debian Wheezy Raspberry Pi minimal image

I made my own Raspberry Pi custom image based on Debian Wheezy.

Features include:

A minimal Debian Wheezy installation (similar to a netinstall) instead of the outdated Squeeze packages Disabled incremental updates, means apt-get update is much faster Workaround for a kernel bug which hangs the Raspberry Pi under heavy network/disk loads A custom 3.1.9+ […]

[Gentoo] Folding@Home v7: fahclient-7.1.52 ebuild available

Latest sci-biology/foldingathome ebuild in portage is 6.34-r2. Thanks to Bas Couwenberg who did the original sci-biology/fahclient-7.1.43 ebuild I made a new version for 7.1.52: sci-biology/fahclient-7.1.52.ebuild

You can find both in my overlay.

The Raspberry Pi has finally arrived!

[Gentoo] G45/GM45 h264 VA-API video decoding

On May 2011 Intel released G45/GM45 h264 VA-API in their g45-h264 branch. More then one year later they still didn’t merge it to master and no one touched that code in the meantime.

Fortunately if you tweak your system a bit that code is good enough to play a 1080p video with a generous bitrate, […]

media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20120116 with vaapi use flag

An mplayer ebuild which supports VA-API hardware acceleration isn’t something you can easily find. There is one in the calculate overlay but it’s quite ancient nowadays. This is why a made a new ebuild based on the latest git code from http://gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer.

You can find my media-video/mplayer ebuild with vaapi use flag in my overlay.

[Gentoo amd64] 32 bit graphic drivers from git without the multilib overlay

If you use Gentoo amd64 and the Intel/Radeon/Nouveau Open Source graphic drivers you already know the problem: x86_64 drivers from git (like media-libs/mesa-9999 from the x11 overlay) are bleeding edge and fast, while the 32 bit ones from app-emulation/emul-linux-x86 are outdated and slow. This is especially sad considering the most demanding games are the Windows […]

Asterisk 1.8.11.0 Debian Squeeze packages with T.38 gateway, queue hints and fixed RFC4235

After releasing a patch against 1.8.11 I made Debian packages compiled with T38 gateway support. Also, I backported a fix which should (hopefully) fix call pickup with RFC4235 (notifycid=yes) and a new feature which allows to place a hint on a queue.

Here is linuxsystem’s repository: http://www.linuxsystems.it/repository/

Stay tuned for updates.

New T.38 gateway patch against Asterisk 1.8.11.0

Yesterday Asterisk-1.8.11.0 has been released, unfortunately latest irroot’s T.38 patch is still against 1.8.8. Since I’m going to upgrade my asterisk box I made a new patch out of his subversion branch and I ported it to 1.8.11. I still didn’t test it properly, but I will in the following days. Debian Squeeze packages of […]

Fat32 long filenames patent invalid because of prior art?

Is seems Linus Torvalds has helped shoot down an important fat32 Microsoft patent, see this a 20 years old technical discussion on comp.os.minix: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.minix/browse_thread/thread/d2b819a69ae0fc4a/09ef13bc629e9d8b?lnk=gst&q=%22long+filenames%22#09ef13bc629e9d8b

For the patent office there is enough inventiveness in an idea born enumerating some possible solutions that came in mind after reading a question to make a patent. How ironic that […]
