Fun with mod_rewrite.  

Let's say you have a site with nice graphics on it.. Beautifull pictures.. nice art.. or smileys..
Some people, especialy n00bs with 'profile sites' have a tendency to deeplink to those images..
That is nice for them.. Content on their site for free..
But who pays for the bandwidth ?? you !!

So what to do..
Thanks to the wonderfull apache mod_rewrite it is not that hard to do something about it..

I'd like to watch whatever pr0n I downloaded on my linux box..
I remember having to download QuickTime RealPlayer WindowsMediaPlayer9 etc. to watch movies on windows..
How do I do it on linux ?

First we need a descent player, xine is my choise..
Download a package or install it from your distro..
Or be cool and download the source here..
Install both xine-lib and atleast one frontend..

Now to get them weird codecs like wma, wmv, ra, ram and mov to work..
Go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ from the driver section, go to codecs, and download the essential or the all package..
Unpack the contents and move them to /usr/lib/win32

If you are not using mplayer or xine, you might need to change the path to 'Win32 codecs' in your video players config..

Have fun !!

You have found your old linux box..
ah.. nostalgia
you just can't remember that fucking root password..


you could boot from a bootdisk and eddit the /etc/shadow but that's not the nicest way..

on most computers you can give the kernel added options in the lilo bootscreen..

you can use the init= option to set an aplication to be started after boot :D

adding the line  init=/bin/bash rw should boot the puter and drop you into a root console on the read-write (rw) mounted root filesystem..
