One RSS to view them all (identi.ca & twitter merged feeds)
Posted by ebal at 12:01:39 in planet_ellak, planet_Sysadmin

You all know about identi.ca & twitter
If you dont, then perhaps your are that kind of people that have a life or even free time!

I am a newbie on both of them, but i I am already frustrate about twitter’s microblogging features.
The web layout is too complex, I cant login with my openid account but the most depressing thing is that i cant see my friends timeline via rss!

The main problem is that twitter have changed to oauth and you can use an application with twitter api.

But Why God, Why?

So i singed with gtweetapp to finally have my friend timeline to rss feed.

Then i wanted google reader to subscribe to my rss feeds (identi.ca and twitter) but google reader doesnt merge the rss feeds.

So i used yahoo pipes to merge, sort & unique feature and then subscribed the result of yahoo pipes to google reader.

And finally i can read all my notices & twitts and my “friends” notices & twitts in my RSS reader!

So is this worth it ?
we ‘ll see in near future :)

till then happy tw…. oh get some work done, you lazy bastards!

Web security via Strong Password Generator & xmarks
Posted by ebal at 17:02:33 in planet_ellak

Πριν από λίγο καιρό έγραψα ένα άρθρο για να εξηγήσω πως μπορείτε να έχετε διαφορετικό συνθηματικό σε κάθε εφαρμογή και παρόλα αυτά να τα θυμάστε μέσω μοτίβων: Security & passwords via patterns. Το άρθρο ήταν αρκετά δημοφιλή κι υπήρχαν σχόλια για να το κάνουν ακόμα καλύτερο.

Σήμερα θα ήθελα να προτείνω μια εναλλακτική λύση, που αφορά κυρίως web sites & web applications.
Αποτελεί μία από τις ασφαλέστερες λύσεις και είναι εξαιρετικά εύκολη στην χρήση.

Βήμα 1ο: Secure Password Sync

Στους υπολογιστές μας (επιτραπέζιους και μη) έχουμε έναν λογαριασμό με τις δικές μας ρυθμίσεις. Χρησιμοποιούμε σχεδόν πάντα τον ίδιο web browser γιατί πολύ απλά μας βολεύει. Είτε είστε fun του firefox είτε του chrome σίγουρα έχετε επιλέξει να αποθηκεύει τα συνθηματικά των web applications στην μνήμη του.

Εάν χρησιμοποιείτε πολλούς διαφορετικούς υπολογιστές (σπίτι, γραφείο, laptop, tablet, smartphone) τότε σίγουρα θέλετε συνθηματικά και bookmarks να είναι συγχρονισμένα σε όλους τους browsers σε όλα τα συστήματα. Έτσι λοιπόν καταλήγουμε σε δύο δημοφιλή plugins: xmarks & Firefox Sync.

Πριν από λίγο καιρό, για οικονομικούς λόγους το xmarks ανακοίνωσε ότι σταματά. Εξαγοράστηκε την τελευταία στιγμή από την εταιρεία: last pass. Τότε διάβασα τις οδηγίες κι εγκατέστησα έναν web dav server (οδηγίες εδώ για να εγκαταστήσω μία δική μου βάση για τα συνθηματικά και bookmarks μου.

Η σύνδεση είναι κρυπτογραφημένη κι έτσι πλέον όλοι οι browser μου, μιλάνε με τον δικό μου dav server.

Βήμα 2ο: Strong Password Generator

Αφού λοιπόν ΔΕΝ χρειάζεται να θυμόμαστε κάθε φορά το συνθηματικό που βάζουμε σε ένα web site/application γιατί να μην το κάνουμε διαφορετικό για κάθε login! Για όπου δεν υπάρχει επιλογή για OpenID χρησιμοποιείστε το παρακάτω site:

http://strongpasswordgenerator.com

Επιλέξτε ένα τυχαίο και δύσκολο συνθηματικό για κάθε online εφαρμογή.
Ακόμα κι εάν γίνει populate η database με τα συνθηματικά στο site που μόλις συνδεθήκατε, το συνθηματικό που θα διαρεύσει είναι μοναδικό και ΔΕΝ μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί πουθενά αλλού.

Προβλήματα ?

  • Χρησιμοποιείτε browser σε δημόσιο υπολογιστή ή στο σύστημα ενός φίλου.

Πατήστε το κουμπί: I forgot the password που έχει κάθε online εφαρμογή και κάντε reset σε ένα νέο συνθηματικό εκείνη την στιγμή. Όταν θα βρεθείτε στον υπολογιστή σας, μην ξεχάσετε να το κάνετε και πάλι reset.

Why donate some money for opensource project is important
Posted by ebal at 20:53:09 in planet_ellak, planet_Sysadmin

Ok, everybody loves opensource projects!

An opensource project has many good noticeable features.
It is nice, it is beautiful, it works, it is secure and it is free of charge.

We use every day opensource projects but we always forgot to give our gratitude to people behind our favorite program.

A thank you email is just fine to express our appreciation to the lonely programmer.
But a donation is the best solution for giving our thankfulness.

I have written an opensource project myself too: pirsyncd and i’ve been grateful for all the love i am getting about it.

I have received patches, t-shirts, thank you notes, publicity via blog entries and donations.
All the above are extremely useful for someone like me. I am always trying to balance around zero on my paypal account and give money to other opensource project or services too.

So dont forget to give some money to people, even a small amount is important!
