[gentoo-user] Re: Downloading Flash videos
Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] yazmış: Hi All, I've been trying to download different flash embedded videos like: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4191382246884244677 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjV0Gws-BVM etc. I have used VideoDownloader with Firefox and FLV Downloader (which didn't work) and Video Manager with Opera. It seems that the downloaded video is very jumpy (drops huge number of frames) when played back using xine/gxine. So I thought of using wget to achieve the same effect but without all these helpful GUIs, but cannot see what I should be downloading when I look at the HTML source of the YouTube web page. What would you advise on this? How about net-misc/youtube-dl? -- ali polatel (hawking) Not all men who drink are poets. Some of us drink because we aren't poets. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I suppose that means there's a problem with it, and it's explained in
some forum or list that I don't normally get. But now I'd like a
clue: what's the {prognosis, workaround, fix, alternative}. As I
mentioned, I hadn't really started to use it, but I'd like to have a
better firewall tool than building iptables scripts in vim.
This is from the Gentoo dev list.

So, if you like firestarter, better say something pretty soon. ;-)
That help any??

Upstream is dead and there are many open bugs so it's a PITA to
maintain. Here are the open bugs about firestarter:

[gentoo-user] Re: Other encrypt otions than encfs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] yazmış: I've had two incidents where encfs has failed due to some incompatability during upgrades.. I'd like to switch to some other technique rather than have to worry with maintaining a working environment for encfs/fuse. Can anyone vouch for another system that has been very reliable for them? My needs are small. I normally use a 200M or so encrypted file mounted as disk. dm-crypt[1] and loop-aes[2] are two alternatives. The former has been very reliable for me so far.

[1] http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ Yep, I've been using dm-crypt with LUKS for a while now, without any problems whatsoever. Asks mer for the passphrase when I bootup, then merrily continues on its way. You can also use a USB disk or some other medium to store the passphrase. It's been a while since I set it up, so I'm rather rusty on how it all fits together now, but follow http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_System_Encryption_DM-Crypt_with_LUKS and you'll go far. Thanks for some real world input.. Am I write in thinking dm-crypt does not support using a regular file (not a partition) as the base of encrypted file system? Well, you can create a regular file, mount it as a loopback device and encrypt it. Here is an example: # Create a disk image: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk1.img count=50 bs=1M # Set up a loop device losetup /dev/loop/0 /tmp/disk1.img # encrypt it cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop/0 # then open it with luksOpen cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 test # create a filesystem mkfs.whatever /dev/mapper/test # mount it mount /dev/mapper/test /path/to/test and write a script to do the last three steps or do it via /etc/conf.d/cryptfs. -- ali polatel (hawking) I don't drink, I don't like it, it makes me feel too good. -- K.

What exactly is it, and what does it do? (:P Besides the statement that it is an FS.) quoting from wikipedia[1]: UnionFS is a Linux filesystem service which implements a union mount for Linux file systems. It allows files and directories of separate file systems, known as branches, to be transparently overlaid, forming a single coherent file system. For example you can put your portage tree in a squashfs filesystem - which you can only mount ro - so that it'll take little space and create a unionfs with it and a directory in /dev/shm to keep track of changes between syncs[2].
