[mysqld_multi]
mysqld     = /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
mysqladmin = /usr/bin/mysqladmin

Must Have Firefox Addons

No Script: because it doesn't really matter if there's a hole in the newest  JavaScript  version for firebox. Link

Ad Block Plus: get rid of most nasty ads. Link

Cookie Monster: site cookies can store information on your browser about your preferences, but can also used to track you on the Internet.  Link

DTA (Download Them All): I'm not a mass downloader but this Addon is a must with Unplug. Link

Firebug: a must have for web hacking. Link

Lazarus: after typing 10 times the same form, you end up installing this.  Link

Skip Feedsportal: some RSS Feeds create a special formated url to keep a track of the sites you visit. If you don't want that, this Addon is for you. Link

Stylish: Check on my other posts to see what can you do with it. Link

Tabs on Bottom: as firefox user since version 1 I like the old style more than the new one. Link

Unplug: Extract media from web pages like Youtube. Link

User Agent Switcher: In some cases, if a web pages is acting weird, you can force them to believe you are using a different browser.  Link

A bit more anonymous way for Youtube browsing

If you use Google productos like blogger or gmail, you will notice that entering in Youtube automatically use your google credentials on the site. Which means all videos you search and browse are registered in your Google Account.

If you want to avoid that, you need Firefox and Cookie Monster. Once installed you will have a new Icon with the letters CM, go to youtube, click on the icon and select Cookie Access (site level) and select Reject Cookies. You will notice that even if you use gmail or blogger or even google it wont log you out from those sites.

How to get rid of "Try the new Twitter profile" box on Twitter

EDIT 20140603: this post is outdated since Twitter forced the new style on every account

ORIGINAL POST:

same thing as this post, You need Firefox, Stylish and create a new style for the domain.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("twitter.com") {
.ProfilePreviewBanner

{background:none !important;display:none !important}

}

Edit: Added screenshoots as example. notice the icon in the left lower corner:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("twitter.com") {
.ProfilePreviewBanner

{background:none !important;display:none !important}

}

Slackware: post installation

this page is going to be a reminder to myself about thing that should be done after installing Slackware. I'm not posting quite obvious things like running xorgconf.

Adding cdrom, printer and audio rights to the normal user I should normally use.

usermod -G lp,audio,cdrom username

Adding a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown to remove all the files in /etc/udev/rules.d, helps a lot when the underlying hardware changes or when having more than one Ethernet card with the same chipset.

If you plan to use squid, don't forget to add a rc.local_shutdown line to shut it down or it might break the cache on the process.

If the cache becomes a problem, create an script to stop it, remove the cache and restart it.

if situation allows it, going for ethernet bonding is a must.

http://www.sgvulcan.com/network-interface-bonding-in-slackware-version-13-1/

create a personal bin directory for scripts in your home dir

mkdir ~/bin
echo export PATH=$PATH:~/bin >~/.bash_profile

compat32 on slackware 64

source:
http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=slackware:multilib

http://slackware.com/~alien/multilib/


Here is a quick list of what to do. Pay attention to the version number of Slackware:

On a fresh dir, as root

lftp -c 'open http://slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ ; mirror 14.0'
cd 14.0

upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z
upgradepkg --install-new *-compat32/*.t?z

and that's it.

Email a Twitter

Correo que mandé a Twitter después de recibir respuesta por mi apelación (rellenar formulario). Solamente eliminé el email que uso para registrarme, el resto está intacto. si ven el texto al final verán el formulario que envié oportunamente. Estaba algo furioso al momento de redactarlo.

I understand all you said in the email and after doing a quick recheck I see no category in the rules which may apply to me. As I said I try to be nice and helpful to everyone as long as possible.

the real reason I got suppended it's because there's a group of people in argentina (Cyber K) doing a mass spam report on people who doesn't support the current government. I have seen this during the past weeks on many of the people I follow.

I have noticed suspensions goes for three days. I can live with that, but lifting the suspension now would be nice.

thank you.

Regarding: Suspended account
Subject: suspended for no real reason
Description of problem: even considering the fact I talk in Spanish I
don't think I deserve this. I use twitter to talk about politics and
computing and I never meant to be disrespectful to anyone, even when
others don't treat me the same way, and even when I strongly disagree on
a given subject. Three years using twitter, first time suspended. I
would like an explanation. Thank you.
