Users still must remove any previously installed certificate manually.

Playing Humax 5400C content on a Mac under OS X
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/10
I’ve had success transferring files for off-line usage on OS X using FileZilla connecting over FTP to my Humax.
Playing with MPlayerX was a bit troublesome as sliding through the resulting media file over commercials is hard.
VLC player has come a long way and plays the files a lot better (the audio gets less out if sync with the video/subtitle).
In addition: VLC on Mac OS X supports DLNA – basically a superset of UPnP – well (at least version 2.2.4 does): start with Universal Plug'n'Play to view any devices, then click on the little triangles in the list to open any new level.
A few tips on streaming:
- Do not play other content on the Humax itself: the device and operating system are simply not well enough designed to do deliver multiple streams without jitter at the same time.
- Try to avoid recording on the Humax while playing: the Humax will prioritise recording over playback.
- Ensure the Humax is on wired internet: the Humax 150N wireless adapter has bad antennas and can’t keep up even in good WiFi conditions (even with a great 802.11n access point next to it: it never reaches the 150 megabit IEEE_802.11n-2009 data rates).
- Try to have your Mac on wired internet as well.
- Ensure any firewalls allow DLNA / UPnP traffic

MX Backup – Postfix Email Server | samhobbs.co.uk
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/09
Interesting as it has steps for both OpenSuSE and Debian each well suited for running on a Raspberry Pi.
[WayBack] MX Backup – Postfix Email Server | samhobbs.co.uk
It seems postfix is a lot easier to configure than sendmail so I already like it.
First I need to read a bit more in Postfix greylisting.
I’ll need to catch up on Sam’s other parts with the postfix tag as well:

InnoSetup where the *AppData constants point to
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/08
The paths are on a standard Windows 7 x64 machine installed on the C: drive. More recent versions of Windows should use the same place.
I’ve not been able to verify this in a domain situation with roaming profiles and redirected folder paths. If anyone has info on that, please let me know.
Anyway, I’ve made some the constants into a table:
| Inno Setup constant [WayBack] |
Windows 7 directory | KNOWNFOLDERID [Archive.is] |
CSIDL (<= Vista) [WayBack] ([WayBack]) |
Environment variable [WayBack] |
System.Environment.SpecialFolder [WayBack] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| commonappdata | C:\ProgramData | FOLDERID_ProgramData | CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA | ALLUSERSPROFILE | System.Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData |
| localappdata | C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local | FOLDERID_LocalAppData | CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA | LOCALAPPDATA | System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData |
| userappdata | C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming | FOLDERID_RoamingAppData | CSIDL_APPDATA | APPDATA | System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData |
One day I might find time to make this table more complete.
Until then, the code is somewhere around theses pieces of code:

Issues are disabled at tohosokawa/rst-preview-pandoc: reStructuredText preview in Atom using Pandoc
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/08
No more issue reporting: tohosokawa/rst-preview-pandoc: reStructuredText preview in Atom using Pandoc
This is a very useful Atom.io package, but it has one big issue: when you close a preview window then re-opening it, the settings are restored to the default -frst -thtml --webtex ones.
As I’m an Atom.io n00b, I need to dig into this another time.
Notes:
- the defaults are set in https://github.com/tohosokawa/rst-preview-pandoc/blob/rst/lib/main.coffee#L26 as
module.exportsin thepath pandocOpts.default. - the settings are used in https://github.com/tohosokawa/rst-preview-pandoc/blob/rst/lib/renderer.coffee#L42 as
opts_ = atom.config.get 'rst-preview-pandoc.pandocOpts'.
I want the defaults to include --standalone --toc --toc-depth=5 or at least --standalone --toc.
For now I’ve hardcoded them.

bash: `printf` supports `\e` just like `echo -e` does
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/11/07
Learned a few things when modifying https://github.com/gkotian/gautam_linux/blob/master/scripts/colours.sh
Note: `printf` supports emitting `ESC` (ASCII character `\033` aka `27` aka `0x1B`)as `\e` the same way that `echo` does https://linux.die.net/man/1/printf https://linux.die.net/man/1/echo Format strings are at https://linux.die.net/man/3/printf %-10s means left adjusted (aligned) string of length 10

I was investigating how the colour definitions on my OpenSuSE system actually work internally so I added some extra output: ${TYPE} and ${COLOUR}.
