1 of April will always be remembered as the day when the Swedish government stole a bit of their citizens freedom. Yes, tomorrow the IPRED law will start, you will be monitored and your “free” and “boundless” Internet will no longer exist. The way Moderaterna stole our freedom will NEVER ever be forgotten. So to Fredrik Reinfeldt I say, F U C K – O F F and we will not vote for you next time. You think we are down, you just wait and see…

There is a good blog article written by Emma Marie Andersson at Aftonbladet regarding this stupid law.

Harmony One Universal Remote

Yesterday I got my Harmony One remote made by Logitech, but I didn’t get around to configure it until today. The software for configuring it are windows and mac, I think Logitech should consider making the software for Linux aswell. There is a project called Concordance but currently it doesn’t support the Harmony One model. So, I used Virtualbox with WinXP to do my configuration and it worked nicely without any hassle. I had some problems with my Samsung PS42Q97HD when I was setting up my media centre (which is a Rapsody N35), somehow when it was supposed to switch to HDMI it promptly changed to DTS which was not what i had configured it to do. Well, poking around in the configuration for a while I found an alternative way to fix it with my Samsung by “hard setting” every input. I really like the “One-touch” access feature that enables all units in one go, like if you’re going to watch a movie it powers on all units belonging to that activity. If you’re planning of buying a universal remote I highly recommend this one, it’s really good, ergonomic and it looks stylish.

Today I spent the day building a firewall that we will use for our new honeypot. On this firewall I’ve set up 6 vlans going from 101-106 and they will be going out on one nic as trunk. The reason for having vlans in the first place is that we don’t want one whole honeypot infected with the same type of zombies, this way they can’t infect eachother. Setting up vlans on a Debian is really easy as it comes with all the tools needed, like the vlan package and the way it handles interfaces. I’ll show you how it’s done here.
