An interesting idea at [WayBack] I was getting concerned about a backup, which had exceeded 1GB, when the data was only about 400MB. Once the job finished, I realized: Ahh, ZFS compres… – Dan Langille – Google+:
Here’s that script I use for creating/destroy the snaphots for a particular long dataset name. Then I backup from /mnt
[WayBack] gist.github.com/dlangille/480dbca509562eb03e76c2e1b576c6d2 is in sh, not even bash.

Was working to get fritzcap to emit a list of interfaces so I could specify which one to capture.
For that I needed to parse the output of http://fritz.box/capture.lua which consists of HTML fragments like below.
What I needed was for each consecutive entries of [WayBack] th and first [WayBack] button tags:
th tagvalue attribute of the button tag having a type="submit" attribute and name=start attributeSo before starting to work on it, I created [WayBack] In order to fix #5, print a list of available interfaces to potentially capture from · Issue #6 · jpluimers/fritzcap
The goal was to get a series of key/value pairs:
4-138 = AP2 (2.4 + 5 GHz, ath1) - Interface 1
4-137 = AP2 (2.4 + 5 GHz, ath1) - Interface 0
4-132 = AP (2.4 GHz, ath0) - Interface 1
4-131 = AP (2.4 GHz, ath0) - Interface 0
4-129 = HW (2.4 GHz, wifi0) - Interface 0
4-128 = WLAN Management Traffic - Interface 0a
So I built a class descending from [WayBack] HTMLParser — Simple HTML and XHTML parser that ships with the [WayBack] Python standard libraries.
If in the future I need more complex HTML parsing, then these links will help me choosing more feature rich parsers:
Back to the HTMLParser descendant in interfaces_dumper.py which can basically be condensed down to the code below.
handle_data is called for both start tags and end tags. The th value in data is only present in the start tag (at the time of end tag the data is empty), so you need to keep track of both last_start_tag and last_end_tag.handle_endtag maintains last_end_tag to help handle_data.handle_starttag maintains last_start_tag to help handle_data and also handles the button behaviour.
buttonis only relevant if it has type="submit" and name="start" and a value attribute in that order.data which is an array of key/value pairs.Posted in Development, Fritz!, Fritz!Box, fritzcap, Internet, Power User, Python, Scripting, Software Development | Leave a Comment »

In [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers @jpluimers: Every now and then editing @uptimerobot entries failed. Just “HTTP Error 503.4 – Service Unavailable The FastCGI pool queue is full” 1/2 I found out that UptimeRobot:
There is also a maintenance page at uptimerobot.com/maintenance.php#tvMode [Archive.is] and uptimerobot.com/maintenance.php?c-e [Archive.is]. If you get to those, then retry in ~10 minutes as sometimes it takes that long for an update to be processed.
Sometimes setting up multiple Android devices for the same uptimerobot account can be a bit of a hassle: [WayBack] Uptime Robot on Twitter: “Once logged in to the account from another Andriod device, that device will be added as an alert contact too.… “.
All in all it is still a nice tool (:

A while back, I made my first steps into Python.
Coming from a mixed language back-ground (including Pascal, Delphi, C#, SQL, batch files, PowerShell, bash, C, Java) it was an interesting experience.
A few observations:
pass statement is your [WayBack] no-op friend (via [WayBack] What’s a standard way to do a no-op in python? – Stack Overflow).bool is lower-case, the False and True built-in constants start with a capital [WayBack] 4. Built-in Constants — Python 2.7.13 documentationMore observations likely to follow.
