Re: [Ilugc] [OT] ADSL Modem Suggestion
Renting the modem from the ISP is another option. When things do not work, the ISP tech cannot blame the modem manufacturer. For Wi-Fi, I use a separate AP with the features I want. Renting ends up being more expensive than buying and support ends after the one ear warranty is up.

Re: [Ilugc] [OT] PC Configuration for Web Development
How much does your netbook setup cost in all? Also, a netbook mostly comes with a small display (less than 14, if I am not wrong). If so, won't it be uncomfortable developing a web app on a netbook, assuming that you are spending at least 10 hrs a day in front of it? A decent netbook will set you back by around 20k. If you are going to use it for so long in a day, get an extra monitor, keyboard and mouse. Use them when desk bound. I've foun such a setup useful even while I use a larger laptop for work. More screen real estate makes a lot of sense while tailing logs and writing long docs ;-) ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] Modem updates or Hardening Guidelines

Are there any tips to harden the Modem which we get from the local ISP ? Turn on the hardware firewall if present. Setup mac security on any multi-access device. Dont let unknown devices access. Use any access control list that it is capable of. As such if one can access your dlink made modem and save to config file, they can connect to the isp using your credentials easily. I lost the isp password and my beetel modem was overheating and needed to be replaced. So I just copied the hashed(?) string from the saved config from the beetel into the saved config of a new dlink box. Copied the new config to the dlink box and it worked :-P -t -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.etutorshop.com/moodle/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Would tell you for mine, but no power, so cant connect to it now. I would like to know why the firmware for these modems are not being released once in a quarter to address .. They may release bug fixes. But these are low price high volume products. Most dont have any majorly new features since the initial standards were written. Bug fixes are rare, newer models probably have the same codebase+fixes. IIRC airtel has an ftp site with updates for their modems, but these are not regular. You are better off using community firmware on/or a higher end modem+wireless router that has more security features/better community/ support. -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.etutorshop.com/moodle/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Anyway let us talk about vi the same way we talk about vim. I am going to talk only about advanced use. I am thinking that most of you will know how to use vi by now.

In any case why would knowledge of usage of text editor = to knowledge of an os?

In any case if you dont have any critical data on dvd, just stop using optical media and move to usb drives.

Re: [Ilugc] [OT] Indian Court Order
blocked in India.. :) I don't see your point here.. And how exactly does law enforcement agents monitor tor?? Lawful Intercept requests to record Tor Traffic. Tor's signature is well known afaik. ISP's don't like having TOR on their networks as they are used by terrorists. Some actively block it. Whether the leo's can decode the captured traffic is another story 8-) You're better off with ssh to access the internets.
