I found out today how to set the real time clock max frequencies in Ubuntu since they removed the possibility to do it from sysutil.conf from newer kernels. Add the following to your /etc/rc.local or another startup script: echo 2048 >/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq echo 2048 >/proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq Reboot, and you should get better performance from things like mplayer.

But, since I don’t like having 2 IM clients running at the same time (Pidgin and the Flash one from Google), I decided I needed to rip out the Jabber Group Chat Room name from the invite page.

Or maybe you want a full movie on your iPod without having to sync to iTunes since you’re stuck in Linux Land. Well, here’s how.

It turns out there is a magic directory on the iPod Touch where it saves images from Safari. I simply looked at how it saved them, and applied it on my box here at home. Requirements Jailbroken iPod Touch (I used WinPWN), with OpenSSH installed and working (the root password is [...]
So, I have all these JPEGs, and I want to know which ones are corrupt (specifically, ones that end prematurely). qiv will spit out the following to STDERR when it finds one: Premature end of JPEG file So, this is nice, except it’s entirely unscriptable. The solution I found was using the following script to the display the images in sequence: perl -e ‘for(glob(“*.png *.jpg”)){$output = `qiv “$_” 2>&1;`; if($output =~ /Premature/){print $_, “\n”;}}’ All this does is mix STDERR [...]
