Compiling audacious 3.1
I’m a big fan of classic media players (audacious, xmms, the old winamp, etc.) That’s why I wanted today to complile the latest version of audacious (3.1) for my slackware laptop. Since the audacious build scripts are kind enough to provide make uninstall I didn’t bother with package builds, I simply compiled the stock...

I was configuring a secondary backup DNS for a master server and I noticed that after configuring everything the zones didn’t get replicated on the slave DNS.

DNS::ZoneParse has an undocumented $ORIGIN

Clear Windows 7″Recent Items”/ jumplists

You can’t browse to it but you can type it in RUN or windows explorer location bar: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations You will see there a bunch of files with long...
Working mediatomb config.xml for Samsung UE37C5000
I have a NAS and an Samsung UE37C5000 UPNP/DLNA enabled led TV. Streaming from the first to the second should be easy, right? Well after a few tweaks MediaTomb makes it possible. I don’t say this is the best configuration possible but it’s the one that works INCLUDING pause and fast forwarding. Relevant from...
