Transmission (bittorrent client) comes with blocklist support. Blocklist would allow transmission to block access to certain IP addresses. P2P users normally use level1 blocklist which contains IP addresses of anti-p2p companies, fake p2p file sources, government, military, science, research labs, bad education facilities, and more.

In order to enable blocklist support, you must be running transmission for fonz’s fun_plug 0.5. It is recommended that you know basic usage of “vi”.

Yummy drinks. But I prefer Shiraz and Carbenet Sauvignon more.

Information Systems has enabled a lot of processes to be more efficient. It has allowed the management to keep track of every aspect of its business - from end users to its staff, monitoring environment factors to it internal operations.

I guess public transport operator has been able to utilise it to the fullest! Monitoring the passenger flow at each station in real time and dynamically dispatching the trains so as to achieve maximum tonnage on the trains. Effectively reducing its cost of operations. By not transfering the savings to end users (who faces increasing fare), they can effectively increase their revenue!

Sigh. I am always in a packed train.

Gotta make sangria one of these days. Steve introduced that wine punch a while back but I didn’t have the time to make it. Got to look through my bottles for the correct red wine for the sangria. Hope it would be fruity!

Party Sangria

1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)

1 Lemon cut into wedges

1 Orange cut into wedges

1 Lime cut into wedges

2 Tbsp sugar

Splash of orange juice

2 Shots of gin

1 Cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries (may use thawed or frozen)

1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)

4 Cups ginger ale

I think I will leave ginger ale out. Wonder if I could substitute vodka for gin. Great I’ve got Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Must remember to get Red Burgundy and white wine Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

MLDonkey FAQs can be found here.

Finally found some time to do the patch and compiling the new binaries for DNS-313/DNS-323/DNS-343. Again these archives are for those boxes running on fonz’s fun_plug 0.5. Installation instructions are similar to MLDonkey 2.9.6.

Download

1. mldonkey-2.9.6-full-2 - eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP, DirectConnect
2. mldonkey-2.9.6-normal-2 - eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP
3. mldonkey-2.9.6-lite-2 - BitTorrent, fileTP

Download (with gd)

1. mldonkey-2.9.6-full-3 - eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP, DirectConnect
2. mldonkey-2.9.6-normal-3 - eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP
3. mldonkey-2.9.6-lite-3 - BitTorrent, fileTP

Note: Release 3 (-3) are compiled with graphical libraries. Hence you would need to install gd-2.0.35-1.tgz (or newer), libjpeg-6b-1.tgz (or newer) and libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz (or newer) on your NAS before you can start mlnet. Other wise you will see the message “can’t load library ‘libgd.so.2′” and/or “can’t load library ‘libjpeg.so.62′” in your mlnet.log.

Installing graphical support on your NAS

Telnet to your DNS-323 (or equivalent) and issue the following commands.

/ # cd /mnt/HD_a2
/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/gd-2.0.35-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/libjpeg-6b-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i gd-2.0.35-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i libjpeg-6b-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz

After which, you could proceed with release 3.
