    Cheap storage link

    in Questions

    Posted

    I am thinking about linking two computer, one with processing power and one with storage.

    But cannot decide with interface to use, i want something on the cheap side, but with 3Gbps+ speed, also don;t want to go via a switch or any other "hardware" in between, just a 1m cable.

    It would have been ideally to use 1Gbps ethernet with a cross cable, but i need something that can deliver 3Gbps+.

    The storage system is going to have Linux, but on the other one I haven't decided yet. It can be Linux or VMware ESXi, so the link has to be something that i can install drivers for in each system.

    Any ideas?

    Console Progress Bar

    Thanks, must have forgotten.

    I think switch is faster then if:

    if (k == 0) c = '-';
if (k == 1) c = '\\';
if (k == 2) c = '|';
if (k == 3) c = '/';



    switch (k) {
default:
case 0:
        c = '-';
        break;
case 1:
        c = '/';
        break;
case 2:
        c = '|';
        break;
case 3:
        c = '\\';
        break;
}

    Console Progress Bar

    Today i was not feeling like working with anything particular, so i decided to work on a little emulation of progress bar in ANSI C for a console app.

    Was wondering if there is anything that can be optimized in the code below?

    #include <stdio.h>
#ifdef __MINGW32__
#include <windows.h>
#else
#define Sleep(t)	usleep((t) * 1000)
#endif

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	if (argc < 3) return 1;

	int len = atoi(argv[1]);
	int step = atoi(argv[2]);
	int i;
	char buf[len+1];
	char c = '-';

	float fstep = (float)len / (float)step;

	for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
		buf[i] = '-';
		buf[i+1] = '\0';
	}

	printf("[%s] %c %02.0f\%\r", buf, c, 0.0);
	fflush(stdout);

	for (i = 1; i <= step; i++) {
		Sleep(3);

		int j, l;
		for (j = 0; j < len; j++) {
			if (j < i*(fstep)) {
				buf[j] = '#';
				l = j;
			} else {
				buf[j] = '-';
			}
			buf[j+1] = '\0';
		}

		if (i != step) buf[l] = '>';

		int k = i%4;
		if (k == 0) c = '-';
		if (k == 1) c = '\\';
		if (k == 2) c = '|';
		if (k == 3) c = '/';

		float per = i/(float)step*100;
		printf ("[%-*s] %c %02.0f%% \r", len, buf, c, per);
		fflush(stdout);
	}

	printf("\r\n");
	return 0;
}

    Should be able to compile with GCC as well as mingw32.

    Attached are the screenshots of the application running on lenny and xp.

    Convert Ssh Socks Into Http Proxy

    in Questions

    Posted

    I want to convert a SSH SOCKS proxy into a HTTP proxy.

    I can get an SOCKS proxy up by -D for ssh.

    But is there a way to convert it into a HTTP proxy (on client side). I could setup a HTTP proxy on the server, and port forward it, but i don't have install rights on the server, and some of the apps i use don't support SOCKS proxy.

    Any ideas...

    Ssh 2k3 Access Denied

    Does the user have access to CMD.exe. Have you tried to SFTP to the server. Have you tried with a local user or a virtual user in WinSSHd.

    I am running WinSSHd on Windows 2003 Standard (without DC), don't have any problems.

    Which file server

    in Questions

    Posted

    I am going to deploy a machine with several Virtual Machines. But i need some sort of file share server in order to have all the files centrelized. I cannot afford more then what i have hands on, which is an old computer. I have been looking at some alternatives.

    - Samba (So far best resault)

    - SSHFS (unstable for me)

    - NFS

    - FTP

    - WebDAV

    Samba seems to be the winner right now...

    What i can see you can do all the stuff in Ubuntu with a little bit of time on hand? I have one tule, never pay for Linux, only for the extra support... As soon as Jaunty comes out (means next weekend) i will switch 2 of three of my machine to Jaunty.

    Darren, can yiu compile a list with all the JavaScipt frameworks you will be mailed about.

    As for embedded Linux, i want to have a music player/music server for a low cost. Used to use musicpd, but it uses to much of the cpu, would like to put it up on a dedicated machine... Also control all the lighting (will soon build a gaming rig, which i can turn on on demand via network, using computer driven plugs (a idle PSU [turned off computer] does takes a lot of Wh)).
