Speeding Up DNS Access In Regions With Very Low Infrastructure

Introduction

Let's say you are on an expensive satellite link that can barely provide enough bandwidth for your company's Internet access and you will want to do whatever you can to get as much as possible out of this link. Moreover, occassionally you lose power from the utility company, long enough for your UPS to run out. There are a few things you could do to get a lot more from your link. In this article, we will be looking at speeding up your dns requests by keeping a cache of responses to your dns requests on your hard disk. Subsequent dns request are then served from the cache and because a copy is on disk, you don't lose it when there is a power outage or a reboot.

phpsh is an interactive shell for php that features readline history, tab completion, quick access to documentation. It was developed at Facebook and ironically, is written mostly in python. This article explains how you can install/use it on a Debian Etch system.

1 Installing phpsh

phpsh depends on PHP (4 or 5, 5 is recommended) and Python 2.4+, therefore we install PHP5 and Python as follows:

apt-get install php5-cli python

Afterwards we download and uncompress phpsh as follows:

wget ht

There are times when you need to save sounds playing over the web. This tutorial shows you how you can use Audacity to capture sound on CentOS 5.x. Of course, there are many other ways to capture sound, but this just works for me. As usual, no responsibilities are taken if anything goes awry at your end.

Prerequisites:

A machine pre-installed with Centos 5.x with Xwindows running.

Step 1:

yum install audacity -y

Fire up Audacity & select the option ¨vol¨ from the combo box just beneath the record button.

Now to test the recording process, head over to some sound/music site/source. While playing or before playing hit the record button and voilà, you are in business. When you are done recording the sounds

This document describes how you can configure a Debian Etch system for IPv6 so that a) it can connect to other IPv6 hosts and b) other IPv6 hosts can connect to it. IPv6 should become more important in the future as recent estimates assume that there will be no more IPv4 addresses left by 2010 or 2011. Therefore it's time time to learn IPv6.

1 Preliminary Note

In this tutorial I'm using a Debian server in a LAN (i.e., it uses a router to connect to the Internet) with the ethernet device eth0 and the IPv4 address 192.168.0.100. The router's

This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on an Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 here). With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop.

1 Preliminary Note

I have tried this on a desktop computer with an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. It should work the same way with all other NVIDIA graphics cards.
