Re: better antenna for a USB DVB-T dongle?
Roof antenna could not be very helpful in your case, but you can buy an active antenna or place the current one near a window. As for the antenna connector, you can buy a cheap adapter; I bought this one: http://www.dx.com/p/lwj-023-mcx-male-to-tv-female-antenna-adapter-cable-black-17-5cm-207418 On Sat, Jul 26, 2014 at 2:00 PM, Amos Shapira wrote: > Hi, > > I'm asking here since I saw that quiet a few members here mentioned using > things like this in the past. > > I bought a USB DVB dongle for my Cubox-I running OpenELEC (here is the > item on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251537079924) and although it's > well supported and the kernel recognises it without a hitch, scanning for > channels (both through tvheadend and command line w_scan) can't lock on any > channels. > > I live less than 2 km from the antennas which broadcast to all of Sydney > (~80km radius service area). > > According to the instructions at http://baratel.com/guides/mythTV.htm, > the internal antenna which comes with such dongles is worthless for more > than 500m. > > But the antenna input socket is not the standard wide one (e.g. like the > one you can see in this wikipedia image: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable#mediaviewer/File:N_Connector.jpg) > but something that looks like 1 mm headphone jack with an itsy bitsy hole > in the middle. > > Does anyone know how can I extend the reception for this baby? > > I think of two main options: > > 1.

Re: geolocation in firefox
The browser geolocation feature meant to provide sites access to an accurate location data from a GPS receiver or other techniques. This feature is in use by Google Maps as well as some other sites, but require your permission before submitting your location data once or per-session. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation Sites can't ever access this data without your prior permission. Since this is probably not the case, I don't think the geolocation API was used. The site in question probably located you by the GeoIP feature, which doesn't provide accurate location but a country of origin or estimated region in the country. It is more difficult to fake GeoIP since it is based only by your IP address, but you can use a proxy or a VPN to remove your traces. Given that said, sometimes it is easier to just change a preference on the site to provide you the site in another language (but still this won't remove any country restrictions for content).

Re: "Lime" - an open source Sublime Text clone
I am watching this project from the moment it first appeared on the GitHub trending page. I am looking forward for this project to become stable enough for daily use. Much like you, I prefer to keep using worse tools such as vim and gedit and not install proprietary software on my machine when there are free alternatives.

Re: OT: Recommended domain registrar

Re: OT: Recommended domain registrar
The price of co.il/org.il is between 49₪ to 115₪ depending of where you register your domain. Of course that all of the registrars are doing a fair play, so you can always switch to another registrar of you doesn't like their service. The cheapest one at the moment is box.co.il. I don't think that most users really care the quality of their domain registrar, as the first thing they do is to configure hosting for the domain and configure the domain nameserver record to point to their hosting DNS. I've recently moved a domain I own to box, and beside their lame UI which charged me for two years instead of one probably because I clicked the submit button twice, they are the cheapest.

Re: Cloud Backup
For this purpose I am using an old desktop computer equipped with big enough disk and a cron job to automatically fetch backups from remote servers when it is switched on. Yes, it store data in a fixed location, but given that it is only meant to backups, I can live with it for now. By the way, the same computer also has a mysql instance that is used to extract backups and rebuild databases locally, which is good or testing that the backups actually works. While Dropbox required some propriety software to sync, I've heard that Google Drive has better API.

Re: Using git on / for configuration files
I'd suggest doing so but away from system folders. You can create symlinks to each file or folder you are interested in backing up (keep the symlink creation script handy!), and by doing so you won't end up with the whole filesystem in a git repository.

Re: Hebrew DNS
Please note that ISOC does not provide Hebrew domains domains just yet (in the scheme of HebrewString.co.il and HebrewString.net.il), and there is no known plans to allow it anytime soon. Some TLDs do allow registration of IDN domains, including dot com TLDs, but for most IDN TLDs the domain won't appear in Hebrew in the browser location bar due to limited or no support for detecting spoofed addresses. On the other hand, a local registerar named Domain The Net provide Hebrew domain including Hebrew TLD. I won't recommend using these domain, as they are not registered at IANA and will be accessible only on some local ISPs and only on some configurations.

Re: OT: web fonts
I would suggest not to mess with fonts, as for most usages it already has good choices for every operating system and browser. You can instead specify font-family:sans-serif, as serif fonts are never looking good on screens (but ideal for prints). If you are very geeky, you can load fonts fronts from the stylesheet itself, so you can show culmus fonts for Windows, as well as any other chosen font.

sipme.me and Linux voip softphone
Hi, I've signed-up an account on sipme.me voip provider. They are official landline phone provider from the Ministry of Communication office, and provide phone lines with the 078-555 prefix. They are providing a customized soft-phone application for various platforms, including Windows and Symbian and iPhone, but as I preferred to use it under Linux, I had to configure it on SIP-complaint desktop application. Configuring it on various applications (including Ekiga, QutePhone and sflphone) was not an issue, and I can receive calls without any problem. As for doing calls, it seems that the line is hanging-up right after handshake, so my regular land-line phone is doing half ring and unable to get even the caller id string from the caller. For mobile phones I was unable even to get this. After asking their support, they said that it is happening due to the usage of a different SIP stack, and seems to refuse guiding me with relevant information. Anyone succeed getting their service to work well under Linux? Thanks. -- Tomer Cohen http://tomercohen.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: Hebrew calendar software creators: can you notify this list when updating the calendar?
Sounds that people are aware of this issue. See the following snippet from 'man calendar' - calendar.judaic Jewish holidays (should be updated yearly by the local system administrator so that roving holidays are set correctly for the current year) We already have hcal for Hebrew dates instead of cal. Someone should create hcalendar in addition of calendar. Sounds to me as an easy task for someone who is familiar enough with Hebrew dates.

It would be nice if it will also contain link to debian.org.il and every other distribution domain which has Hebrew information.

Re: I have a rabbit in my ears ;-)
Such websites became quite common thanks to Google who started providing Hebrew translation recently. They are doing so in order to get some traffic from other languages as well as doing SEO to their site (more content - higher rank). I guess that English to French translation, for example is far better than the Hebrew translation. Please note that I've seen some people doing it the opposed way - writing in Hebrew and providing other langauges as well using Google service. You can only guess how bad Google translate it. :) As for your question, you may want to check out the following - http://www.guysoft.co.il/2009/08/31/dvb-t/ http://linmagazine.co.il/desktop/2009/07/07/sml/dvb-t-1 http://linmagazine.co.il/desktop/2009/09/09/sml/dvb-t-1 2009/9/17 Nadav Har'El > While looking on Google for information about digital TV on Linux, > I searched in Hebrew "לינוקס טלוויזיה דיגיטלית" (linux digital television) > and I found the following forum, in Hebrew: > >http://www.unix.com/iw/whats-your-mind/87912-digital-tv-rocks.html > > I found the subject of the thread, "טלוויזיה דיגיטלית הסלעים!" very amusing > (a funny translation of the English phrase "Digital TV rocks!"), but the > text of the forum was even more bizarre, containing really broken Hebrew > and the phrase that really got my attention was "יש לי ארנב באוזניים", > "I have a rabbit in my ears!" > > This made me think this was probably some sort of automatic translation, > Looking at the menus on that site, also using completely broken Hebrew, > made me think even more that this was an automatic translation.

Re: Bank Hapoalim
I am actually using Bank Hapoalim with Linux without any real problems. The biggest problem is that some text is reversed sometimes (very old issue), which can be solved easily by changing page encoding. When I asked them about Linux support they said they are supporting both Windows and Mac, and that the reverse problem occurs only on Linux which is unsupported. I tried few times to simulate the reversing problem on Windows and tried to fix it on Linux by changing the User Agent string, no luck so far. I've recently written about that. If you can help - you're welcome. http://tomercohen.com/2009/06/06/?p=597 2009/7/8 Dan Bar Dov > I just got off the phone, talking with Bank Hapoalim support. > > I got a very clear message - "We do not support Linux.

While small transfers work, I have to use workarounds when I have to transfer more than few kilobytes. When you call their "support services" they say the problem is not on thier side.

Re: Migrating from Windows to Linux: missing hebrew-english dictionary
I have NOT recommended this addon ("change around". :) ), but
recommended using the online service of Babylon. That toolbar is a
crap-bar, and you probably prefer to not use any
conduit/ourtoolbar.com crappy bars.
However, we have got a search plugin for Babylon at
http://mozilla.org.il/searchplugins, and you can also find Morfix
plugin at the same page. You should add http://he.wiktionary.org to
your list of translating sites, as it become more and more trust-able
source for translations.

Re: Firefox 3 - random crashes
Sorry for being a bit delayed. I hope my message will clarify few things. about:crashes would aggregate your crash information as soon as you report them to Mozilla. Some Linux distributions are compiling Firefox without the crash reporter, in order to make the software more similar to their other applications and use the distribution crash reporter instead, so you'll report your crashes to them instead of the software developers team. I have wrote about this issue in my blog - http://tomercohen.com/2009/02/27/?p=537 In order to solve your issue, please download Firefox binaries directly from Mozilla and run it instead of your distro Firefox. Than, when Firefox will crash (in case it will), you'll prompted to report your crash to Mozilla and than you will be able to review your information in about:crashes. Beside this, I am almost sure your crash isn't because of Firefox but Flash. Adobe Flash Player is very unstable application in Linux, and sometimes crash the browser or more dangerous stuff.

Hi, I have found that people intend to subscribe to mailing lists more than to read RSS or visit some websites every few days.

If things will go well this way, you may be able to use more advanced methods (such as a Wordpress installation with categories feed) in the future.

OT: Netscape 4.61i
Hi, Long time ago, there was a Netscape browser with the version tag 4.61i. It used to be the first version with the core of Netscape Navigator to feature bidi support without funky fonts (Globes font was quite popular back than) thanks to IBM contribution and some talent people in Israel [1]. Unfortunately, there is no way to get that version today. Google search show it was linked from some kids warez sites [2] even on ISOC servers (http://www.isoc.org.il/hebrew is 404 for now). I think this is the best place to ask - Is there someone with access to very old mirroring sites that maybe has that piece of history hidden there? I do remember that it was also published on some Israeli magazines such as PC Magazine Israel, which has CD attached every month. [1] See Shoshannah Forbes article from 2000 - http://evolt.org/node/1964 [2] Google search for "bdns461i.zip", "bdns461i.exe" or just "bdns461i". -- Tomer http://tomercohen.com = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: rdesktop hebrew keyboard question

I'm using rdesktop 1.5.0 (latest) and I found a weird behavior:
when using the standard en-us keyboard layout, it works ok, but trying
to press the hebrew DOT ("nekuda") gives "ץ". When trying the comma,
I'm getting "ת".
Could someone shed some light about this issue?
Look for rdesktop stderr output - rdesktop can't map the Hebrew
characters from the local system. Make sure to always use English
keyboard layout at the host, and if the local and the remote both use
alt-shift for layout switching, make sure the local machine active
keymap stay in English.

Re: SSHD for Windows
At my workplace we found that currently cygwin isn't working well on Vista (and Windows 2008 server).

Re: RTL in plaintext mails
Hi, You can actually use RTL in UTF-8, just place RLE (U+202B) in the start of each Hebrew sentence and PDF (U+202C) at the end (PDF is not a most, since each end of sentence gets it automatically, but I see it as a good practice). Keep in mind that some plain text users might scream at this point since they can see that character. Also note that RLE/LRE..PDF has nothing to do with line alignment, so you will still send it unprofessional. I prefer to send email messages most of the time in HTML just because of that, and to include plain text fallback which includes the RLE/LRE..PDF there. Tomer.

Re: Hebrew-friendly list server on Linux?
I recommend you to try Google Groups. It is highly customizable list server, and has good web access for archiving and even posting if permitted. ronys wrote: I'm looking for a mailing list server that is meant to serve a few hundred users. The catch is that these are non-technical users who will correspond only in Hebrew. My first solution, Yahoo groups, is a big failure due to the number of users who complain about "gibberish" in their inbox. Can anyone recommend a decent solution, either hosted or something thatI can install on my own Linux server? Note that the admin interface doesn't have to be in Hebrew, only the user-facing side. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
