Dear Lazyweb, do you know of a particularly good online TV listings site or application?
We don’t watch a lot of TV, but from time to time there’s some good stuff. I prefer to sit down once a week and look through what is on, save it to a list and then program it in [...]
Dear Lazyweb, what do you use for managing your photo collections locally?
At the moment I just dump them all in a directory on the file server, with Jenny’s photos in another. I used to use F-spot, which was okay, but then I wanted to store Jenny’s photos separately from my own and there doesn’t [...]
Update: Solved! Someone pointed me to the “beep” track of the volume control, which was hidden and muted.
Last month I upgraded my ThinkPad R61 to Ubuntu Jaunty. Recently I noticed that I no longer have the beep when taking it on or off of AC power. I don’t know if it has always [...]
I’m off to FOSDEM again soon, and really looking forward to it, but I decided I should try to make more time for going to other conferences too.
I’m not sure that ShmooCon is really my kind of thing and it’s also in February like FOSDEM so it’s a bit difficult to schedule.

Dear Lazyweb,
You will probably want to skip this if you have no knowledge of server motherboards and RAM and/or no interest in helping me.
I have a new server based on a Tyan S3970 motherboard with four DIMMs. It was assembled by the supplier and subjected to a burn-in test. It seems however that [...]
Update 2007-05-05: I sent some strace output to the author of haproxy, Willy Tarreau, and he replied within 24 hours with a full annotation of the strace and a one line patch to fix this issue. That’s what I call support! Here’s his comments and the patch:
I think this is caused by the [...]
Uwe’s post about script reminded me that script just doesn’t seem to work for me for some reason anymore on Debian (both sarge and etch). I also see it sometimes on work’s RHEL-alike machines, but not all of them!
Here’s what happens:
$ script
Script started, file is typescript
bash: No such file or directory
Script done, file is [...]
In relation to my recent hardware issues I now have a bit of a dilemma, although it’s not a bad kind of dilemma to have.
Yesterday afternoon memtest86+ locked up after 10h28m running. It didn’t report any memory errors but clearly there are hardware problems there if even memtest can lock it up. So [...]
I’ve got a Supermicro-based server that I’m in the process of setting up for Xen hosting purposes. After 3 or 4 days of uptime and light load (because it’s not in production yet) sitting in its rack in a datacentre weird things start to happen.
I get random kernel panics and OOPSes, it locks up [...]
In times past, when I had a desktop computer, I’d always have to be in that one place to use it, so attaching speakers to it was a reasonable way to play music while I worked. These days I only have a laptop for my personal computing needs, and all my data is on [...]
