Scroogle and anonymous Search

Anonymous Search and content delivery is important.

To archive the first you can use the  Scroogle Scraper.

An alternative and to archive the second one, you can use IxQuick, which offers more features, like an image search and a web-proxy.

Scroogle is a google-search-proxy, IxQuick is a meta-search engine and web-proxy.

Both provide SSL and can easily be added to firefox via the addon-search & install.

Infos von FeFe zu rebloggen ist generell unnötig, heute war allerdings wieder einer dabei, der so schockierend war, dass ich muss.

Hier die Liste von…

Note-to-self: Firefox Awesome Bar Syntax

If you are looking for a specific type of result, like a bookmark or tag, you can speed up the process of finding it by typing in special characters:

  • Add ^ to search for matches in your browsing history
  • Add * to search for matches your bookmarks
  • Add + to search for matches in pages you’ve tagged
  • Add @ to search for pages that have web addresses (URLs) that match what you’ve typed
  • Add # to search for pages that have titles or tag names that match what you’ve typed

For example, if you’re looking for a page you bookmarked called Mozilla Firefox Support, you might type mozilla. The autocomplete results appear, but might not show the page you want.

You can narrow your results bookmarks only by making your search string mozilla *.

If you still have too many results, you can further restrict the search by making your search string mozilla * support #. Now the autocomplete list will only show bookmarked pages with mozilla and support in the page title.

(Pseudo) Tiling in Openbox

Here’s an interesting thread in the ArchLinux forums about WindowTiling in Openbox.

It works without any additional plugins via keybinds.  So you can grow your windows in north, south, east and west direction. The keys aren’t bind in the default settings, so you have to edit your openbox config:

~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

I also added keybinds for moving windows in certain directions which is really helpful in multi-monitor scenarios. My keybind for which I heavily borrowed from the above forum thread is:

Grow:

<keybind key=”W-C-Right”>
<action name=”GrowToEdgeEast”/>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-C-Left”>
<action name=”GrowToEdgeWest”/>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-C-Up”>
<action name=”GrowToEdgeNorth”/>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-C-Down”>
<action name=”GrowToEdgeSouth”/>
</keybind>

Move:

<keybind key=”W-A-Right”>
<action name=”MoveToEdgeEast”/>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-A-Left”>
<action name=”MoveToEdgeWest”/>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-A-Up”>
<action name=”MoveToEdgeNorth”/>
</keybind>
<keybind key=”W-A-Down”>
<action name=”MoveToEdgeSouth”/>
</keybind>

Making of Überwachung

Dank fefe’s blog wurde ich auf einen netten Audiobeitrag des DLF (Deutschlandfunk) aufmerksam, bei dem eine überwachte Person von ihren Erlebnissen mit den “Gesetzeshütern” berichtet.

Der Beitrag ist mehr als interessant. Eine gute Zusammenfassung bietet markus von netzpolitik.org.

Downloaden kann man ihn bei archive.org.

Audiotranskript gibts beim DLF.

Symbian Error E32USER-CBase 90

If you encounter

Error E32USER-CBase 90

in the Symbian emulator, there’s something wrong with the cleanupstack. You’re certainly trying to pop something from the cleanupstack, which is not on top of it.

Try setting a breakpoint on every push and pop operation and you’ll see which object is popped wrongly.

Good Luck!
