Re: How to use an Amazon EC2 instance as a VPN server

I haven't tried it, but I suppose you could do some neat tricks with iptables on both ends to get it to work.

Let’s say that I have a local server that is blocked by an ISP from public hosting (caught behind NAT). I connect to EC2 via OpenVPN. I now how on EC2 an private IP of 10.10.0.1. I want traffic to my public IP (elastic IP. ex. 12.34.567.89) to route to the private IP 10.10.0.1 to enable public access to my local server. How does one configure such routing?

I would like to tell you about a visual programming app called Illumination Software Creator.

It can build apps for python, which I hear is very popular with the Disqus team.

Re: limits.conf and daemons on Ubuntu

Nice!

I also got this from the rabbitmq mail list.I was just testing it. No need for this, at least on the brand new machine I have configured, even though it is version 2.8.1

Thanks John!

Updated the post with the fix for 2.8.1

Well, I also took a look. Versions are not the same. Old machine is 2.7.1, new one is 2.8.1

I will try to get the old version and install it in the new machine.Wish me luck!
I will tell you what I shall figure out.
Thanks!

Sorry, I can't think of why the 2 machines would behave differently.
Perhaps versions are different?

But that's my best guess =\

Hi, I also have the same problem.
I had 'session required pam_limits.so' in my /etc/pam.d/common-session{,-noninteractive} filesand yet still doesn't work for me...My /etc/security/limits.conf file is correct... In a cloned system it is working, there is a strange behavior though, when running 'ulimit -n' it returns 1024 in both machines, but when I edit limits.conf on one works and on the other one I can't make it work. I see the values with the management plugin.I have checked everything!Any ideas?Thanks.

Re: django-celery, eventlet and debugging blocking

I've read both ways. So I figure better safe, than weird bugs cropping up.

Seppo Yli-Olli — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:02:00 -0000

As far as I've read, it's safe to use monkey_patch multiple times so do you even need the EVENTLET_NOPATCH hack at all there? (you might need for the hub commands, I haven't managed to find out what they actually do :)

Another way that works with Lion and is pretty simple is AirFoil - you can pipe audio to remote devices but also the local computer and the software has an eq.

Think I figured it out, appears that Hear is/was the problem. Really hope reinstalling and uninstalling Hear fixes it.

I installed both AU Lab and Soundgarden and got it to work, but right away realized that the sound had suddenly become overall distorted and pretty much sounding like a low bit rate MP3 even with flat EQ. I had just installed "Hear" about 30 minuted prior to try and do the same kind of EQ function and can't remember if the problem started then. But I uninstalled all 3 problems and my sound is still messed up on just the Mac OS portion. Switch over the Windows on the partition and it is fine. Getting the sound back to normal is super important for this computer. Any tips? Thanks so Much!

seems as though this doesn't work with lion

Matthew Peterson — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 23:15:50 -0000

Thanks for the help, but whenever I do this, an irritating buzzing comes out of my speakers along with the sound. I have a feeling it may be because I set my output to Soundflower, and in AU lab, I have it the output set to Built-In Output(Which, if I'm correct, is the system setting for output, which we've selected as Soundflower). Oh, also, a note: I'm trying to also send the audio through a connected set of speakers. I'm on a MacBook, so there's only one audio port unfortunately.
Any tips on how to fix the buzzing?

Did anyone find a solution to this issue on Lion? John Watson

It works well with the Xcode 4.2.1 and AU Lab 2.2.1 maybe trying the 2.2.1 binary of AU Lab... i can send it to you

Thank you so much - your advice was a huge help - now i just gotta learn how to use it - I've got a huge excel spreadsheet to configure to work with my website and any tips would be really appreciated - so once again thanks

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. It worked for me all this while until I've upgraded to Xcode 4.3 where the AU Lab was upgraded as a result. It doesn't work now unfortunately. Was wondering if you are able to provide the instructions on how to set it up in the latest version of Au Lab that came as part of Xcode 4.3? Thanks.

Hey! First of all "thanks for posting this.

I have set everything like shown in the tutorial, see the input in AU Lab-Plugins but cant get anything to hear from my iMac. (tripple-checked all settings)

Anyway I would prefer to listen to it through my motu8pre, but this also does not work. The basic idea of beeing able to EQ system-sound though appears fantastic to me.

Is Soundflower something like a plugin-slot, signal flow like: system-audio insert IN -> soundflower input -> Au LAB -> Soundflower output -> system audio insert out?

Would really love to get this work (.-) thanks for help in advance.

Claus

Re: FiSH module for ZNC

cosmo1t — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:48:04 -0000

I'm investigating a bug where multiple keyx's or a keyx and a timeout cause znc to completely die. Note this is running on MacOSX 10.7.2..
I'll post on the github when i get further into it.

I think the equalizer in iTunes is a 10 band equalizer. Its presets would probably be a good starting point that you can tweak to your own preference.

Martin Bitar — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:37:40 -0000

Hey!
Wonderful tutorial! Everything sound better now. :)

Do you know about a place where I can see "standard equalizing" in 10 and 31 bands? Whats normal for rock, pop, and other genres? I feel like I have to do everything by my self, even though I have no experience on equalizing.

Glad they could be of use to you.

I like to be explicit, so I use eventlib version of the functions. Though you are correct and the monkey patch does already patch everything if you still imported from the python stdlib.

Yes, eventlet+dnspython are the two packages I use. One thing to watch out for is: https://bitbucket.org/which_li...

I've run into similar issues as that bug report, even with EVENTLET_NO_GREENDNS='yes' (which disables the usage of dnspython)

I haven't had time to investigate it, so I've been waiting for it to be fixed and in the meantime just restart the process periodically.
