Here’s a way to get you PL2303-based Serial-USB adapter working with OS X Lion (10.7). Based on the osx-pl2303 project on github, I’ve built a kernel extension that works with OS X Lion. You can grab the kext file here or from the link below.
Just wrote a simple URL shortener in PHP. It generates shortened URL’s in the format “http://xbsd.nl/aBcD”, in which the aBcD part is a random four character string.
You can give it a go over at http://www.xbsd.nl/url/. No spam or malicious URL’s or whatsoever – just plain and simple short URL’s – promised

Back in the days, before cloud-based services like Dropbox or iDisk, I used to be a big-time user of iFolder. Desktop file-sync for all kinds of platforms with central versioned storage complete in your own control. Too bad current iFolder development is as dead as can be since 2006.
The downside on the current cloud-based storage services is that the central storage in maintained and in control of a third party, to which you trust your data to be safe.
SparkleShare is a promising new FOSS project that brings new life to iFolder concepts. A friendly desktop client for all common platforms allowing you to store and version files to a SSH or Git based backend.
SparkleShare is currently available as an open beta version of the client software for Mac and Linux.
Now that the new MobileMe Calendar is based on the iCalendar and CalDAV standards it becomes a lot easier to access your MobileMe Calendar trough third-party (non-Apple) calendaring tools.
For now, we’ll show how to setup the calendar in Evolution, a common e-mail and calendar client on Linux and Unix desktops. Using the same steps you should be able to setup your MobileMe calendar in any CalDAV compliant tool with SSL support.
Stacklet provides ready to run Linux images and templates for popular virtualization technologies like VMware, KVM and XEN.
On a Mac and have some FreeBSD file-servers around the house of office? Open your file-servers up to easy and fast access via OS X Finder. How? The method is Apple’s native Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), with a bit of help of Apple Bonjour (mDNSResponder) for automatic discovery and presentation of shared resources on the network.
The installation and config of the two Ports ‘netatalk’ and ‘howl’ is all there is to it.
Postfix supports IPv6 from version 2.2 and up. By default only IPv4 support in enabled. Enabling IPv6 is as easy as adding one parameter to Postfix’s main.cf:
/etc/postfix/main.cf: # You must stop/start Postfix after changing this parameter. inet_protocols = ipv4 (DEFAULT: enable IPv4 only) inet_protocols = all (enable IPv4, and IPv6 if supported) inet_protocols = ipv4, ipv6 (enable both IPv4 and IPv6) inet_protocols = ipv6 (enable IPv6 only)
Be sure to also update match lists as mynetworks and debug_peer_list with relevant IPv6 addressing.
