Last week we set up a mirror for the Voyage Linux project.

If you’re using Voyage Linux over here in Germany you might want to put this mirror into your sources.list.

Upgrading VServer from 2.0 to 2.2
April 21st, 2007 — Tech
After upgrading from Linux VServer 2.0 to 2.2 I got an error message after trying to start a vserver:
ncontext: vc_net_create(): Invalid argument
Since version 2.2 the dynamic context feature is disabled by default and marked as deprecated. So you’ll have to assign a context to your vservers manually.
I wrote a script that’ll do the labor for us. Paste it in /usr/local/sbin and call it with the name of the vserver as argument; I have tested this on Debian.
By the way: I read about the problem in the Linux VServer FAQ.
Setting up a Linux router based on the WRAP
February 3rd, 2007 — Tech
If you would like to know how to build a small and energy efficient yet flexible router I’ll present one possible solution. We’ll install a Debian based Linux on a PC Engines Wireless Router Application Platform (WRAP) and configure it to our needs. We’ll not use special accessories (e.g. USB or a pimped out enclosure) or use it for some particular purpose (e.g. Wardriving): it’ll be a general purpose router which connects your network to the internet.
Enhancing your privacy further with Squid and Tor
January 29th, 2007 — Tech
In my last post I described how to use Squid and Privoxy to enhance your privacy while surfing the internet. We want to push this a little bit further by adding onion routing with Tor. If you heard about Tor but don’t really know how it works, I suggest reading the Tor overview first.
