As many of you know, I’m a work in the cloud freak. Today I just found a precious multiplatform application that I strongly advice. Springpad, with no further delay let me invite you all to watch the video thar explains rather nicely the potential from this application.



Cloning a damaged SSD Hard-disk to a new HD

We had in a company server an incident with an ssd hd. FSCK did not manage to fix the errors, and from the output we concluded that this disk was indeed damaged.

Our “safe the day” decision was simple: Clone the disk as it is to a new one (afterwords we would have only logical errors to fix and with some luck not much data loss)

We tried clonezilla first, but even with -rescue option ( supposedly to ignore bad blocks ) it did not work. Entered an “endless” loop of ” ignoring” bad data.

So, we started plan B: ddrescue.

To do so, we started a live gparted ( from hirens ) and with gparted it self we wiped out the destination disk ( new one ).
Then we just opened a terminal window and typed:

ddrescue -B -v -n -f /dev/sda  /dev/sdb

(please type ddrescue —help to understand our command switch options)

The source SSD HD was a 64GB one, so the copy took only about 2 hours.

After all this, there was no need to install grub at all, everything was (and is ) cloned.

The machine just booted, and of course asked for a fileSystem check on boot, witch it did. Only it left you in single user mode for you to fix the file system. Simple entered root password and typed:

 fsck -y 

and all our FS problems wen away. Everything is good now


Just for the record, I’m talking about a box with elastix 2 (centos) in witch we installed other things that would be very time-consuming to re-install and reconfigure from regular backups until late January….

If you have a netbook that you don’t use that much any-longer, just install ping-eee OS and take yourself to a all new Level.

…just press ALT+SHIFT+NUM.LOCK and then use cursor keys to move around the pointer.


Tor in Pinguyos

tor

For those who enjoy being online with real anonymity, I sincerely advice the use of TOR.

In my case, once I use PinguyOS I started for adding TOR repo to my sources list:

deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org natty main

Then the Key for it to work, using the commands: 
( please elevate yourself to root before )

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89

gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

Then just do:

apt-get update

Now you can get to install TOR and VIDALIA. Just typing this commands:

apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb

apt-get install vidalia


When running the vidalia installation 
just choose the option for it to takeover Tor.

Now, you can run Vidalia to start TOR. 
In fact you don't really need to mess arround with further 
configuration. 
This is it, tor is now running for your private "lurking" 
on the internet.


From this point forward, the only thing you have to consider 
is to use a SOCKS 5 proxy in your applications
(Browser, terminal client etc) with the following data:

Host: 1270.0.1 or localhost
Port: 9050

Now browse to a site like www.whatismyip.com and enjoy :)
