	+	netselect:: This is netselect, an ultrafast intelligent parallelizing binary-search implementation of "ping." You give it a (possibly very long) list of servers, and it chooses the fastest/closest one automatically. It's good for finding the fastest ftp.debian.org mirror, the least laggy IRC server, or the best Squid neighbour. This version also includes __netselect-apt__, which creates an apt sources.list file automatically from the huge list of Debian mirrors.
	+
	+	bidwatcher:: Bidwatcher is a tool for eBay users (eBay is a giant internet auction site). It is a stand alone application that can track auctions and perform automated bids called 'snipes'. (Note that the Debian package seems to be different than the one in the wild at http://www.midwestcs.com/bidwatcher/ One of them should work ok.)
	+
	+	licq:: Command to run in a console: //licq -p console'' You will need to run the X version with ''licq -p qt-gui// the next time you run the app or it will startup in console mode again. If switching back and forth between modes, edit the command line of the version used in X to explicitly call the qt-gui option all the time; it won't hurt anything. Disable sounds while running in console mode or you'll get output error messages written to your screen.

	+	* http://afu.com/apple/clips-dvd.html
	+	*DVD -> MPEG-4 (using [[xvid]] codec) application (all in one)
	+	* http://handbrake.m0k.org/
	+
	+	============ DVD --> Final Cut Pro/iMovie ============
	+	In order to get footage from a DVD into an editable format in Final Cut or iMovie, you need to convert it into DV format that is then importable into the respective apps. The process is initially similar to the DVD ripping process documented above.
	+
	+	For this and several other parts of the video editing process, you will be well served to purchase [[quicktime]] Pro. It's import and export functionallity are key to the process. Also, for the following instructions to work, you'll need the MPEG2 plugin for [[quicktime]]. You can get it free with a SN from Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro, but it's also available separately for $20. This is money well spent and it's highly recommended. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/mpeg2playback/
	+
	+	* After inserting the DVD into the drive and then quitting the DVD player app, the DVD will be authorized and ready for reading.
	+	* Using 0SEx (http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg722g/dvdriptutorial/files/0SEx.html) rip the chapter you want.
	+	* Set the saved file type to ES as noted in the tutorial.
	+	* Select the audio track to rip, preferably the 2 channel one rather than the Dolby AC3 one (which can be converted later)
	+	* For the "Seg" options, chapter seems to work the best unless you're working with the entire disk.
	+	* You should end up with .m2v and .ac3 (unless the audio was analog 2 channel and then...?) files that are the video and audio tracks respectively.
	+	* Open the .m2v file in [[quicktime]] Pro and export the movie to a DV stream. This will take a long time.
	+	* Using bd4go (http://denisx.dyndns.org/bd4go/) convert your .ac3 audo to .aiff
	+	* To get the audio and video back together again, do the following:
	+	* Open your .aiff audio file in [[quicktime]] Pro
	+	* Open your newly converted .dv video file in another window
	+	* Make sure both players are paused at the begining of each file, select the entire video file, then copy it
	+	* in the window with the audio, select Add Scaled to insert the video into the audio. Save your file and you're ready for editing.
	+	* You will now have a .dv file that is importable into iMovie or Final Cut
	+
	+
	+	There are other options to completing the above process with some other pieces of software. Refer to Shepmaster's tutorial above for another way to do it.
	+
	+
	+	============ MPEG2 --> DV batch conversion ============
	+	*http://www.omino.com/~poly/software/qt_tools/
	+	* <code> qt_export --video=dvc <file.m2v> <file.dv> </code>
	+
	+	============ Final Cut --> Compressed format ============
	+
	+	Final Cut (Express) has the ability to export video into any format and codec that is supported by your installation of [[quicktime]]. A good one is 3ivx (http//www.3ivx.com) and is MPEG4, cross platform, etc. Exporting will take a long time.
	+
	+
	+	======= Applications =======
	+	*DVDPlayer.App
	+	* applescript to jump to the begining of the actual movie
	+	<code>
	+	tell application "DVD Player" to activate
	+	my quickstart()
	+
	+	on quickstart()
	+	tell application "DVD Player"
	+	set time_left to the remaining time
	+	if (time_left < 1500) then
	+	set elapsed time to 1500
	+	delay 1
	+	press enter key
	+	my quickstart()
	+	end if
	+	end tell
	+	end quickstart
	+	</code>
	+
	+
	+	======= Misc. Notes =======
	+
	+	<code>
	+	0sEx + [[quicktime]] + 3ivx + [[diva]] + mAC3dec + bbDEMUX = everything you need. technically you don't need bbDemux or QT if you mux with Sync Hole. although QT still seems to save files about a MB smaller than my apps.
	+
	+	I only mentioned bbDemux because he said he was working with VOBs. :)

By taking the end-to-end application view of a network, [[netpipe]] clearly shows the overhead associated with different protocol layers. Netpipe answers such questions as: how soon will a given data block of size k arrive at its destination? Which network and protocol will transmit size k blocks the fastest? What is a given network's effective maximum throughput and saturation level? Does there exist a block size k for which the throughput is maximized? How much communication overhead is due to the network communication protocol layer(s)? How quickly will a small (< 1 kbyte) control message arrive, and which network and protocol are best for this purpose?

	+	*http://www.linuxsecurity.com/feature_stories/feature_story-91-page4.html
	+	*A. Recent versions of Postfix include an option to the postsuper command to clean out queued messages by queue ID. To delete a message with a queue ID of ABCDEF, for example, you would do:
	+	postsuper -d ABCDEF
	+
	+
	+
	+	If you have a large number of messages to remove, create a file with one queue ID per line and then run:
	+
	+
	+	postsuper -d - < file
	+
	+	<code>
	+	smtpd_client_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/accesss, reject_rbl_clients relays.ordb.org
	+	smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks
	+	</code>
	+	<code>
	+	/etc/postfix/main.cf:
	+	delay_warning_time = 4h
	+	</code>
	+
	+
	+
	+
	+
	+	This is usually safe to do while Postfix is running, but there is a small chance of deleting new incoming mail if it's assigned the same queue ID before the bad message is deleted. From the Postfix FAQ at:
	+
	+
	+	http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#deleting
	+
	+	The [possible conflict in message removal] scenario goes like this:
	+
	+	The Postfix queue manager deletes the file that postsuper was supposed to delete, because Postfix was finished with the message.
	+
	+
	+	New mail arrives, and the new message is given the same queue ID as the message that postsuper was supposed to delete. The probability for reusing a deleted queue ID is about 1 in 2^15 (the number of different microsecond values that the system clock can distinguish).
	+
	+
	+	postsuper deletes the new message file, instead of the old file that should have been deleted.

	+	======= Troubleshooting SSL connections =======
	+	s_client can be used to debug SSL servers. To connect to an SSL HTTP server the command:
	+
	+	<code>openssl s_client -connect servername:443</code>
	+
	+	would typically be used (https uses port 443). If the connection succeeds then an HTTP command can be given such as GET / to retrieve a web page.
	+
	+	If the handshake fails then there are several possible causes, if it is nothing obvious like no client certificate then the -bugs, -ssl2, -ssl3, -tls1, -no_ssl2, -no_ssl3, -no_tls1 can be tried in case it is a buggy server. In particular you should play with these options before submitting a bug report to an [[openssl]] mailing list.
	+
	+	A frequent problem when attempting to get client certificates working is that a web client complains it has no certificates or gives an empty list to choose from. This is normally because the server is not sending the clients certificate authority in its "acceptable CA list" when it requests a certificate. By using s_client the CA list can be viewed and checked. However some servers only request client authentication after a specific URL is requested. To obtain the list in this case it is necessary to use the -prexit command and send an HTTP request for an appropriate page.
	+
	+	If a certificate is specified on the command line using the -cert option it will not be used unless the server specifically requests a client certificate. Therefor merely including a client certificate on the command line is no guarantee that the certificate works.
	+
	+	If there are problems verifying a server certificate then the -showcerts option can be used to show the whole chain.
