  1. Even with my Internode account I can only achieve 85KBps, I'm soon gonna be buying a wireless gateway from Telstra, where I can achieve 3Mbps or 300KBps. That should be enough for what I do.

    That's pretty good going. I'm on Optus Cable and I only get 512Kbit up (64KBps) :(

  2. I remember looking through the terms of service and acceptable usage policies a couple of years ago and I couldn't find anything.

    That said, Optus horribly restrict upload speeds (and uploads seem to take priority over downloads, one upload can bring my home connection to a screeching halt) so I don't think it'll be effective as a server.

  3. A battery pack like that could work, but it looks like you'd need a custom USB -> Fon+ cable.

    The Fon+ one I got was also 110, and the only 240->110 adapter I could find was big, bulky, and over AU$60. Something like this.

    I ended up with something like this plugpack (except the one I had had a switch for different voltages) and got the Fon+ adapter's connecter soldered onto the plugpack.

  4. It believe the Fon is 5V 0.5A. The Fon+ I have is 7.5V and I think 0.5A (don't remember), but it runs happily off a 6V AU transformer I got - I could not for the life of me find a 7.5V transformer anywhere.

    12V would probably fry it completely, but there's probably a small tolerance level (4-6 for example, I don't know).

  5. Personally it and icloud are the emperor's new web servers.

    iCloud doesn't offer web hosting of any sort as far as I know. There was a Steve email floating around that said the MobileMe web hosting was going straight down the gurgler, to paraphrase.

  6. Aah, password-changing fun.

    I do have to give a shoutout to ThisDB for being my Network Miner - Darren, can you please fix the installation on x02 (or give me a different VM next time)?

    Also, you left some Snubs bloopers in at around 9 minutes. :P

  7. I'm not against them opening it up a little and I'd love to see some sideloading and other hacker-friendly features in iOS 5. I just trust Apple to do a better job in quality control than a bunch of random hackers on the internet, and experience has proven me right so far. I've got a bunch of friends who jailbroke, and they have all sorts of issues - slowness, jittery graphics, springboard crashing, springboard crashing again.....

    It's my device, and I'd like to be able to control it. Honestly though, IMO Apple is doing a much better job of it than I could, and definitely a better job than $JAILBREAK_GROUP and most jailbreak software developers.

  8. ssh -L localport:remotehost:remoteport SSHuser@SSHhost

    That will let you access localport as though it was remotehost:remoteport from SSHhost. Alternatively, you can do

    ssh -D localport SSHuser@SSHhost

    to create a SOCKS proxy on localport that runs through SSHhost.
