Leo un artículo en Versión Cero que contiene el siguiente párrafo:
Significativo es el caso de la historia contada por un antropólogo en su libro sobre los pigmeos. Recuerdo vivamente esta historia. Fueron todos a cazar, incluido el antropólogo. Y lograron cazar un gran buey salvaje. Mientras iban de camino a la aldea con la pieza [...]
Incremental backups with rsync
3 Comments Published by Felipe Alfaro Solana September 9th, 2005 in Backup, RsyncI have been thinking for a while to implement incremental, cyclical backups on my home network. The problem with cyclical backups to tape is that they are slow. The problem with cyclical backups to disk is that they consume a great deal of space.

Adding extended attributes support to rsync
0 Comments Published by Felipe Alfaro Solana September 9th, 2005 in Apple, Mac OS X, RsyncThe rsync software that comes with Mac OS X 10.4, and newer releases, supports extended attributes (HFS+ resource forks).

SUBNET_MASK is the subnet mask used to disguise which part, of a given [...]

Instead of acting as a Wireless AP and forwarding traffic to the Internet via the WAN port, I have configured it to forward packets coming from the LAN (via any of the 4-LAN ports) to the Internet via the Wireless interface. The WRT54G will [...]
Today, I bought a Linksys WRT54G V3.1 Wireless Router from my usual local store. Although it uses a heavily customized Linux version internally, it is quited limited. For instance, it does not allow remote administration via SSH, only through a nice Web interface. So, after playing a little bit with it, I decided to install [...]
