VIM Settings

Here are my vim settings, makes working with vim a whole lot easier. Vim doesn’t have to be a pain in the butt, it’s just configured to be that way by default due to backwards compatibility to vi.

/etc/vim/vimrc.local or /etc/vim/vimrc.local

/etc/vim/vimrc.numbretoggle

PSP Magic Stick

I found a cute little tutorial here on how to create a Jigkick / Pandora Battery / Stick. Took me a bit to follow through with the whole procedure, but it was well worth it. Now I can upgrade/downgrade any PSP, no matter what firmware it is currently running. Nice to be able to switch so easily between the official firmware and the “open” firmware that allows homebrew software to run. Also nice to be able to “upgrade” other peoples PSP by simply putting my battery and memory stick in their PSP and pressing a button, takes about 5 min. tops.
Downside is that for some reason my system name and wifi setting get copied to the PSP when upgrading, as far as i can tell the rest of the setting get set back to factory default (e.g. menu background). Nice to be able to play around with my PSP without fear of messing ob something beyond repair.

script kiddies

Well it seems SOMEONE reads my blog, since I almost always have more “hack” attachs from noob script kiddies when I’m abroad. I’ll take care of those when I get home. I see lot’s of emails going out to abuse@… 😉

Sieve

Since I’m not going to be reading any email for the next few weeks I finally got around to setting up a sieve script to automagically sort my email serverside into folders. So when I come back home I won’t be overwhelmed by emails from my server about the 15 people trying to break in each day or other crap.

require “fileinto”;
if header :matches “Subject” “\*\*\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*\*\*” {
fileinto “user.blargh.SPAM”;
}
elsif address :domain :is “from” “blargh.ipxserver.de” {
fileinto “user.blargh.Server”;
}
else {
keep;
}

Migration will happen soon

Ok, if you can see this, than the website has been (more or less successfully) replaced. I decided to switch over to software that supports maintenance of dynamic and fixed content better. So here we go: The blog was pulled onto the main page. The previous categories from the navigation on the left are now on the top right under “Pages”. I’ll try to move the old postings from the previous blog over to this one, but that may take a while.
