[WayBack] 8 Linux Commands: To Find Out Wireless Network Speed, Signal Strength And Other Information – nixCraft:
Explains various Linux tools and command that can be used to monitor application for wireless network devices. These tools can display wireless single strength (levels), frequencies, speed and much more.
That will prove to be useful one day.

This appeared to be a Chrome thing: [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers at Twitter: “@wordpressdotcom not sure what goes wrong with billing, but the printed html has odd domain characters. The viewed HTML is OK, but I cannot print that because printing garbles it. I can DM you the receipt links. Similar for the date which becomes unreadable (the IRS dislikes it).…”

[WayBack] Ouch: “It’s due to some Castalia code, that’s merged in Delphi since XE8. It’s only possible to reduce this issue, so it will happen less often… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+
“It’s due to some Castalia code, that’s merged in Delphi since XE8. It’s only possible to reduce this issue, so it will happen less often. Use: Tools – Options – Editor Options – Color – Structural Highlighting and switch everything off. Looking at how the code is integrated into the IDE, this results in less editor parsing and repainting. Irrespective of that, the handler that causes the Access violation is still attached to the editor. So basically, we will have to wait for this to be fixed in 10.3.”
The errors in 10.2 are related to “EditorStructuralHighlight.TStructuralHighlighter.EvQuery” – Google Search, but older versions can have a different path.
Lets hope that by a new Delphi version has been released that fixes this, but do not expect older versions to get fixes for it.
For XE8, it is enough to disable Castalia, which is on the list of packages to disable in …/Native/Delphi/Scripts/List-Delphi-Installed-Packages.ps1.
More recent versions have the old Castalia code base much more rightly integrated, so the only way is to disable Structural Syntax Highlighting in the Editor options.
More at:
When I add a file or form to a Delphi project, often I get an access violation. Then I have to restart Delphi, open the project and try it again. Then it sometimes workes, sometimes I get the same Access violation. I am having this issue in all Delphi versions since XE8.
…
Looking at how the code is integrated into the IDE, this results in less editor parsing and repainting. Irrespective of that, the handler that causes the Access violation is still attached to the editor.
I have seen this happen too, but so intermittently that I could not point it back to this code (especially since I usually have Model Maker Code Explorer and GExerts loaded which makes it harder to trace back issues to actual Delphi things).

From a long time ago:
[WayBack] how can I free up space on /boot as “openSUSE-2014-462” fails to install on openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64):
Installation of kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.40.1 failed: (with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: installing package kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.40.1.x86_64 needs 16MB on the /boot filesystem
Based on that thread, I figured out the steps:

I forgot to document this earlier.
Many Fritz!Box devices cannot be upgraded to recent firmwares. The behaviour differs on hardware revisions of the same model. I’ve seen it happen on Fritz!Box 7360 devices, but others are could be affected too.
You can get the firmware revision using the trick here: FRITZ!Box call http://fritz.box/cgi-bin/system_status.
If your hardware revision is affected, do not expose it to the outside world.
You could still turn it into a local switch though: [WayBack] Convert FRITZ!Box 7360 to Managed Switch (or even Access Point) having it’s own IP address: Setting up the FRITZ!Box as an IP client.
I did this before even discovering about the hardware revision limits as I wanted to keep the full phone history when migrating from ADSL to fiber (which came with a brand new Fritz!Box 7490) and could use the extra LAN ports.

I might give a few of these a shot:

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 »
