  1. Tomato still an option on Ask Slashdot: Life Beyond the WRT54G Series? · · Score: 1

    I ran tomato for a long time and recently upgraded to a ASUS RT-N66U. Its happily running toastman's tomato.

  2. Re:Easy fix...Truecrypt. on Dropbox Can't See Your Dat– Er, Never Mind · · Score: 1

    I've tried this with a small 10MB TC volume (just to hold docs). Every time I modified the contents of the TC file DP would upload the entire volume again. So explain this full support for Truecrypt please.

  3. I basically have the same setup on Best Filesystem For External Back-Up Drives? · · Score: 2, Informative

    My backup has been worked good for the last few years. I had a large windows tower filled with hard drives...
    * One of my HDD was encrypted using Truecrypt.
    * A scheduled Acronis task would image my OS drive to the encrypted drive.
    * I have another encrypted HDD in one of these KINGWIN KF-91-BK trays (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121172)
    * After Acronis was done, I would kick off a little batch file to mount the tray drive (which was encrypted) and run SyncBack Pro to mirror the encrypted source. Then dismount.

    I just bought a few extra trays. Each month I sync all the other HDD in the system (including the encrypted drive) for my off-site backup. One flaw in my system was if one of the other "data drives" crashed, I would loose at most a month of changes. They were just music/videos and didn't change very much. I accepted this fault.

    I out grew the tower and recently built a cheap unRaid box. Most if it should work the same, except now I have redundancy for all my drives in the case of a crash.

  4. Re:Windows CE beats both out... on Palm VII vs BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    I don't think so...I waited for the Palm III and the WinCE handhelds to come out (which was around the same exact time). I went with the WinCE device and played with it for a few months until I was so frustrated with it because it wouldn't do anything right without the goofy winblows OS/interface getting in the way. I sold that crap and got me a palm III, and I praise 3com everyday for it. the Blackberry can't compete....sorry The wireless computing "thing" is new, even 3com can't get it right the first time (the 50k limits/fees).

  5. mp3 and disco... ummm yea on MP3 Dead? What, Already? · · Score: 1

    Thats pretty much how I feel, I was downloading hundreds of megs a day 2 years ago, but now I use .mp3's to backup my cd collection. yeah, but now every maw and paw out in the sticks are searching for mp3's since the media blew it up up out of proportion. Mp3's aren't going anywhere soon, just like .jpg's. Mp3's are good in some ways, like finding hard to find rare or out-of-print albums or indroducing you to new music. The truth is I would't have half the albums I bought with out hearing the mp3's first. I like to own the quality if I can find the real album...

  6. None of this stuff works for me. on Custom Slashdot Update · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'm having the same problem...I can't filter out the book review or for that matter anything on the right-hand side at all :(
