    their BitTorrent traffic is subject to manipulation. On this page, we
    present preliminary results from these tests.


    We will publish more detailed results at a later point of time after our code is peer-reviewed. We are also actively working to refine our measurement tool and our analysis. So make sure to check back later.

    We released the source code of our tool. We encourage you to check the code for bugs. Please contact us, if you find any bugs or have questions, comments, or suggestions.

It's not a sure thing, but a lot of people consider it a reassuring layer of protection.

    How To Set Up SSH With Public-Key Authentication On Debian Etch

    Preparations On Our Client (Desktop) System

    apt-get install openssh-client


    mkdir ~/.ssh
    chmod 700 ~/.ssh
    cd ~/.ssh

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "A comment... usually an email is enough here..."

    scp -p id_rsa.pub remoteuser@remotehost:

    ssh remoteuser@remotehost
    mkdir ~/.ssh
    chmod 700 ~/.ssh
    cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
    mv id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh
    logout

    rm id_rsa.pub

    ssh remoteuser@remotehost

    cd /etc/ssh

    There were more frugal recipes here for soil, such as 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 vermiculite. However, I could not find the ingredients packaged locally and the individual ingredients bought separately at the larger home improvement stores were more expensive the bags of Miracle Grow.

    Fix desynchro with vlc

    clipped from lifehacker.com


    If you've spent hours ripping a DVD or downloading a video just to find—when all's said and done—that the audio and video aren't matching up, reader Will suggests using video-Swiss-Army-knife VLC's desynchronization feature to sync up the audio.

    In the VLC Preferences, click on Audio and then tick the Advanced options checkbox; there is an Audio desynchronization compensation setting that allows you to set a positive or negative time delay between the video and audio tracks in milliseconds. I find unsynchronized video/audio unbearable, and have been known to delete files without watching them for it. It never occurred to me that there would be such a simple solution!
