One of the great things about the IPAD is that it’s an Ipad. One of the worst things is that Firefox does not run on it. Now my firefox on my Linux and Mac are filled to the brim with Greasemonkey scripts and one of them is to pass NZB ids from newzbin.com to SabNZBd. After some searching I have found a handfull of scripts and adapted them to do the same for the ipad.
To make this work you need to create a Bookmark on your Ipad (safari). Go to a page and bookmark it, rename it to something usefull, save it. Then open your bookmark page and edit the bookmark address, change it to the following:
javascript:fulltitle%20=%20document.getElementById('title').innerHTML;report%20=%20fulltitle.substring(17,24);document.location='http://[IP OF SABNZBD]/api?mode=addid&name='+report+'&apikey=[APIKEY]';
Replace the [IP OF SABNZBD] with the ip of you sabnzbd server including the port (normally :7070)
Replace [APIKEY] with your api key.
and now you go to www.newzbin,com login to the site browse a post and click on the bookmark you just created
Having two young children is a disaster when attempting to write a technical blog, so sorry it’s been so long. Anyway here is a nice piece on Zarafa integration with getmail4.
My ISP I hosts about 5 domains and for some of those domains I have created email boxes that route to different mail systems such as gmail, hotmail, etc. Any mail that is not routed to an external mail address is dropped into a catch-all mailbox which I retrieve using Getmail4. At home I have a Zarafa mail system which is excelent, and a number of the email addresses that are dropped in the catch-all get distributed to local users. Here is a guide on how to setup everything:
In my quest to get PfSense working I had to enable the console. To make sure you can access it from your client directly to Virtualbox do the following:
Enable a Serial port in Virtualbox, make it a Host Pipe and set it to a filename in /tmp (also make sure the checkmark is present for creation)
start the Machine
in a Bash shell enter the following command: socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/[your filename] TCP-LISTEN:[Any port above 1024]
A while back I blogged about my attempts to upgrade my home network with new stuff. Currently I use MonoWall as my primary firewall and had the wish to upgrade this to PfSense. To be honest I really did not have a good reason for doing this until now, I need OPENVPN running on my firewall. Monowall does not have this so it’s time to upgrade.
A timelapse film that was made in 4 days during an internal installation.
This film was created using over 8000 jpg. It was combined with Mencoder:
