Thanks for all the input folks. I'm grateful for what looks to be a good solution all round. I'm not familiar with HostGator. The guy that I've used for many years has been great. I wouldn't be leaving if he wasn't shutting that part of his business interests down. I'll be in touch Hartmut. Thanks again. Cheers!

USB drive encryption
by Dan Martin 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

I need a device to transport data securely between machines - from PC to Mac or Mac to PC, or between 2 PCs. Problem is, I don't have admin rights on any of the PCs. I also don't want to leave unencrypted copies of the files on the PCs. Preferably, I would want various forms of software on PC or Mac to read and write to the drive transparently after the passphrase is entered. Will a hardware encrypted flash drive do this? or will it want to set up something on the PC requiring admin rights? Can anyone suggest a good, relatively cheap device? -Dan

Request for HELP! Solaris 11 printing (CUPS)
by Kevin McGregor 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

I just don't understand Unix printing, I guess. We had it working on Solaris 10 using the old standby lp printing system. Solaris 11 now uses CUPS, and I can't find a reference anywhere that is helpful. On the old/current Solaris 10 system, we have: $ lpstat -t scheduler is running no system default destination system for cowsvpprmom: 192.168.59.113 (as lpd:// 192.168.59.113/printers/GENERAL_ENTRY#Solaris) system for cowsvdprmom: 172.17.176.58 (as lpd:// 172.17.176.58/printers/GENERAL_ENTRY#Solaris) cowsvpprmom accepting requests since Fri Jan 08 12:09:10 2016 cowsvdprmom accepting requests since Fri Jan 08 12:09:10 2016 printer cowsvpprmom disabled since Fri Jan 08 12:09:11 2016. available. printer cowsvdprmom disabled since Fri Jan 08 12:09:11 2016. available. On the new Solaris 11 system (zone) I tried: # lpadmin -p cowsvdprmom -E -v lpd://cowsvdprmom/printers/GENERAL_ENTRY # lpadmin -p cowsvpprmom -E -v lpd://cowsvpprmom/printers/GENERAL_ENTRY ...which doesn't seem to work, because I couldn't print anything (the lpr command works, but then the print queue gets disabled) and this shows up in the CUPS error log: D [13/Jan/2016:11:18:20 +0600] [Job 3] Connecting to printer... D [13/Jan/2016:11:18:20 +0600] [Job 3] STATE: -connecting-to-device D [13/Jan/2016:11:18:20 +0600] [Job 3] Connected to printer...

This is recursive!

Relating to last night's meeting on qrencode: Look at this page from my Math1200 course: http://math-01.cs.umanitoba.ca/math1220/frontmatter-1.html You might wonder what possible use this might have. Despite a bulk mailing to the whole class, I still get asked for the link to this site during class. I'll just say, "Scan this!" It's nice to still have fun giving lectures.

just me? fido
by Trevor Cordes 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

In the latest rev of their web site, Fido broke the login functionality for me in Firefox on linux. Works on FF on Windows and Chrome on Windows. Is anyone else having a problem? fido.ca -> login ... no popup ever appears for me to type in the user/pass. Strangely, FF on linux says that some content is not https, but FF on Windows says *all* the content is https. I wonder if I change my UA string if that would go away... but even when I "allow all content" it still won't let me login. I think FF used to have a web page you could go and submit broken popular websites to so they could examine / fix? Do they still do this? Can't find it anywhere. I suppose there's the mozilla bugzilla...
