  1. use mdadm and linux on Best Solutions For Massive Home Hard Drive Storage? · · Score: -1

    Get a motherboard with 8 sata slots. Fill them up with your hard drives. Install a linux distro of your choice. I would use debian but many will probably fall for ubuntu. Install distro and set up disks in raid5. Install samba or ftp server or what ever you want to use. That's it.

    Note that this isn't an "instant solution. It will probably take a couple of weeks of reading just to figure out mdadm, how to best partition your disks, and how to you use the OS you choose. I would do several test installs first before putting the box into service.

    If you are legit you don't have anything to worry about. I don't see what the big fuss is about. I hope this helps the economy. Clearly if someone is illegal they are hurting the economy and not helping it.

  8. XEN on Open Source Router To Replace WRT54GL? · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I have been pretty happy with a debian setup with xen. I have debian as the dom0. Then 2 other virtual debian installs. One as a router with 3 nics and shorewall, squid, and some other stuff, the other as a webserver through a virtual dmz to the router. http://www.shorewall.net/XenMyWay.html Other than that there are distros like smoothwall and ipcop if you want a full distro firewall. I never could get good through put though stuff like the wrt routers which would trash voip convos.

    Slashdot, downstairs in my house has a major ant problem. Luckily I reside upstairs. Nevertheless, once every 5 minutes or so an ant comes trotting along my desk. First I place a coin or another object in its path. This confuses the ant, causing it to run off in a different direction, but my finger is waiting. I block its path with my finger. It runs in the opposite direction, but I anticipate this. Soon the ant is encircled by pens and other barriers, and if it attempts to climb them, swift punishment is issued. The ant remains in my arena. Then I take my knife, and nimbly place the tip onto one of its legs, holding it in place, then I press down hard and chop the leg off. The ant does not run, it merely enters a craze moving all around wildly. I allow it to suffer like this for a minute or so, chopping off another leg if it appears not to be in pain. Then comes a decision. Sometimes I will wait for another ant, and place it in the arena to see what it does. Occasionally it will pick up its comrade, and run off, but this is an offense punishable by death. Other times, I will merely watch the ant until it gives up. It will stop moving all but one leg. At this point I give in and slice the ant in two, putting it out of its misery. I save the corpses in a small pile, and once I have a considerable stack, I scatter them in my arena. This is where the real fun begins.

    I venture outside to my back yard and find a red ant. This is my gladiator. I return to my room and place him in among the corpses. He wanders, confused. I do not let him leave. I pound the desk near him with my fingers, scaring him. I toughen my gladiator up until another ant comes along. I place the intruder into the arena. The red ant will go after the black ant, and they engage in mortal combat. If the red ant wins, another corpse decorates my arena. If the black ant vanquishes his foe, he wins the prize of life. I carry him in my hands and bring him downstairs and place him among his comrades. If he put up a good fight, I give him a warriors welcome and feed his colony with bread. If he barely defeated the red ant, he receives no food, only the gift of life. This is how i spent my afternoons.
