EC2 as OpenVPN Gateway:

EC2 as OpenVPN Gateway:

Setup in 2.5 hours (might be 1 hour, but I had to read some stuff) without prior experience of EC2:
* EC2 micro instance (cost-free for 12month) with Ubuntu 12.04 image
* no-ip setup for "permant dns-based access"
* OpenVPN Server with certificates
* OpenVPN Client on Linux, Windows and Android
…just works and will cost about 1-2 Euro per month (considering to use it just on business trips for couple of days for securing public wlans)

GREAT!

(Its even free for 12 month…)

To those who had the early network parties with me.

Switched to WordPress

Leave a reply

Even if the layout seems to the same – something looks different, right?

WordPress Logo

This side switched from ModX to WordPress.
The ModX CMS, which we used until now, is a bit feature outdated: No autoupdate of the system, no autoloading plugin mechanism (snippets need to be copy/pasted, no version system) and one has to deal with a lot of details we dont have time for.
Another point for the change: WordPress offers a Android App e.g. for foto upload. I look forward port the webpage of my son to WordPress, too: We will hopefully spent less time in grabbing pictures from the camera, rescaling, uploading etc pp.

Thankfully, Tina decided to port their menu technique thus, which was a complete rewrite. The import of old blog entries was – after looking a bit for wordpress plugin knowledge – no big deal.

Nach dem Entpacken von RAR/ZIP Archiven…

Nach dem Entpacken von RAR/ZIP Archiven erschienen bei mir auf der Festplatte immer wieder "komische" Dateinamen.

Entsprechende Linux-Foren berichten von solchen Problemen, wenn unter Windows (mit iso-8859-1) gepackt und unter Linux mit UTF8 entpackt wurde. Lösung wäre "convmv" … was bei mir aber nicht half.

Also habe mir die Dateinamen angeschaut und bin schliesslich auf folgende Ersetzungen gekommen:
$match = ($file =~ s/x84/ä/g);
$match += ($file =~ s/x94/ö/g);
$match += ($file =~ s/x81/ü/g);
$match += ($file =~ s/xe1/ß/g);

Weiss jemand, welche Kodierung "meine" RARs dort anscheinend hinterlassen haben beim Entpacken?

Ich bin gerade sehr baff:
Habe ich nach unserem Umzug nach Verl doch die Stadt angeschrieben, ob ich den Abfallkalender als ICS oä. haben kann. Antwort kam nach einigen Tagen ala "ist sinnvoll; wird mal gemacht". Schon über die Antwort gefreut, aber keine grosse Hoffnung…

Heute kam die Papierversion in den Briefkasten und ich habe mal geschaut – tatsächlich, mein Wunsch wurde realisiert!
