Bueno la gente de soporte-wordpress.org y http://www.rumoresharrypotter7.com/ está haciendo un concurso por el ipod shuffle y solamente hay que colocar este post y publicarlo, además de hacer el trackback, no está de mas decir que el ipod no me vendría mal, aqui nunca ha habido porno y wordpres4lyfe (es decir, si uso wordpress xD).
Well, as many of you know, I have a new love 
*kicks old and shitty laptop*
This is my new Laptop, which in honour to Svip, I’ve named Copenhagen xD
Due to their 9th aniversary they doubled all their shat, including bandwidth and disk space…
Before I had 1TB of Bandwidth (come on, that’s hard to reach in a month), now I have 2 TB!, the max I’ve used is 5 GB, lol.
Before I had 20GB of disk space, that’s enough for all the shit I have stored on the server (believe me, I have a lot of crap there), now I have 200 MOTHERFUCKING GIGABYTES, that’s just too much, haha, well I’m not going to get angry or anything :P.
I think they’re going to use google’s way to get users, like, giving them LOTS of shit having in mind that 5% of them will max it.
Dunno, that’s just what I think xD, once again, Dreamhost RULES 
After having a lot of fun installing things on Ubuntu that worked with no problems at all, including the latest xgl-cvs and compiz THAT OTHER DISTROS DON’T EVEN HAVE (/me glares at debian), I decided that I wanted to play a bit more with Linux, that I wanted something like a challenge, just to learn more.
I tried a lot of distros, Debian Etch (the gui installer as of when I tried it, sucked, nvidia is unstable and xgl doesn’t even exist on the repos), Gentoo (Just what I wanted, too much time compiling, though), and finally Arch Linux 0.7.2.
Installation:
Got the Full Install ISO, burned it to a cd and booted, plain init, no fancy shit, the installer was a bit confusing at the start but it’s pretty quick and gets the job done in a hurry. Even when I got the Full install I didn’t want to select all the packages so I just installed the Base, then the kernel and finally the grub, all this install took less than 15 minutes to complete, then I took me to a place where I could edit the config files, I was a little bit annoyed at first since I was used to get everything working out of the box but it was easy though after reading the config file instructions.
When I rebooted all I got was the linux CLI, but damn, IT WAS FAST. Now all I had to do was install the gui, but first edit the pacman.conf file to enable the community and extra repo. The config file was clean enough to understand it all, and the command to install everything was easy:
pacman -Sy gnome gnome-extra kdebase gdm nvidia codecs
This command looks simple, right?, well, it checks the repos, installs kde and gnome, the gdm login manager, the nvidia drivers, and ALL the multimedia codecs. All I had to do after the install was adding gdm to the daemons on rc.conf.
And there it is, a fully functional Arch Linux Desktop system, all the packages were cutting edge and I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever.
Packing system:
They have a lot of packages, but if you can’t find something, http://aur.archlinux.org will teach you the Arch way, making arch packages is incredibly easy and you can upload them there and share it with others!, I was able to install the latest Amarok-svn and amule-cvs with kad support with a simple PKGBUILD (if you read more about it you’ll find that it’s so easy that makes .deb look like crap).

Help and Support:
Are you a newb? still don’t understand anything?, no problem!!!. The Arch wiki has a nice howto’s for almost anything, but if you still need more help you can go to their forums where people is all friendly and helps you to solve your problems (if they know how do it). So we can say that the Arch community is very cool, and is very noob-friendly.
Final Thoughts:
This distro is FAST, with a very established community, and it’s the only (after ubuntu) that feels like home for me, I recommend it to everyone with a basic knowledge of linux.
So yeah, I decided to switch to XGL + Compiz because I found the way to run Cedega on it [1](I can’t survive without GTA:VC), finally I found some Vista-ish themes that make it look EVEN BETTER than vista (at least for my eyes), this screenshot is Xchat, with a Video using a transparent effect and same with the console, I wish I’ve recorded a video so you could see the extra-sexyness of the 3D effects

Bai

Yeah, after 8 months of having the same version (bugged as fuck), skype decided to release a new linux version, and seriously, I expected this to be just a bugfix, but not really, finally we have ALSA support and the new emoticons too!.
In fact, I think now it’s almost the same as the Windows client, except it doesn’t have video (which I don’t care about because I use msn for that, and I don’t even have a webcam anyways).
Cheers to the Skype team for taking so much time!

Also, there’s a new beta version of google earth (there’s a linux release of it too)
Ok, well so I’ve decided to use xfce4 (again), I just wanted to try it on ubuntu and it’s fits all my needs at the moment, also using nautilus with it makes it look pretty cool, so check it out:
Well, I’ve securing my webserver with mod-security now, due to referer flood, but I’ve used a set of rules that I find really useful, also for those referers now I’m redirecting those requests to goatse… take that!.
I’ll post the rules I’ve used just in case someone wants to check them:
# Turn the filtering engine On or Off
SecFilterEngine On
# Make sure that URL encoding is valid
SecFilterCheckURLEncoding On
# Unicode encoding check
SecFilterCheckUnicodeEncoding Off
# Only allow bytes from this range
SecFilterForceByteRange 0 255
# Only log suspicious requests
SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly
# The name of the audit log file
#SecAuditLog logs/audit_log
# Debug level set to a minimum
#SecFilterDebugLog logs/modsec_debug_log
#SecFilterDebugLevel 0
# Should mod_security inspect POST payloads
SecFilterScanPOST On
# By default log and deny suspicious requests
# with HTTP status 500
SecFilterDefaultAction “deny,log,status:500″
# Block request with suspicious referers
SecFilterSelective “HTTP_REFERER” “(holdem|poker|casino|porn|viagra|xanax|go-went-gone|techno

SecFilterSelective ARGS_VALUES “^(uname|id|ls|cat|rm|kill|mail)”
SecFilterSelective ARGS_VALUES “^(ls|id|pwd|wget)”
SecFilterSelective ARGS_VALUES “;[[:space:]]*(ls|id|pwd|wget)”
The other day I was bored as hell and I went to nic.ve and got a new domain (intar.web.ve), but the problem is that I can’t change the dns servers for that because it gives a tomcat error, I tried sending a mail to their support address and nothing, so I did a workaround: from their panel added ns1.intar.web.ve which points to the afraid dns server and it worked so i got it working using that odd way, but at least now i can use it
