If you run apt-cache showpkg on a meta package, the "Reverse Provides" section will list all of the available packages that fulfill the given role. Using awk you can easily print out the list of packages that provide the given meta package.

Using ACLs on linux can be confusing at times. Setting ACL permissions is quite straightforward (using the setfacl commandline utility), but you might find that your permissions are not always honored. The culprit behind this is the mask.

The task might seem trivial, but I can assure you it's not. Every image manipulation program handles file formats a little differently, so if you take an image file (let's assume it uses a lossless format, eg. PNG) and simply save/export it with two different programs, but using the same (lossless) format, the two resulting files will be most probably different in size (and obviously in content too). The question is: how do you know whether the two images are the same or not? The size of the two files can differ for a number of reasons and not just because of the difference of the image data. Eg. modern file formats allow a lot of metadata to be stored with the image. Some file formats allow the use of more than one compression algorithms (eg. TIFF files can use a number of -lossless- compression algorithms).

OSX Expert's guide on how to compile ffmpeg for the Mac is pretty detailed and a huge help. However since it was written some time ago, quite a few things changed. This post provides an -at the moment- up-to-date version of OSX Expert's instructions. I still use a Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with Xcode 4.2, so small adjustments might be necessary for more recent Mac OS X and/or Xcode versions.

The answer to the Stackoverflow question sounds like this:

It assumes a pretty simple format for the Content-Disposition header, which is most of the time not true. Meanwhile curl has a new option called --remote-header-name (or just -J), which does exactly what we intend ... ie. takes the filename for the --remote-name option from the Content-Disposition header. Actually even this option of curl was flawed at some point. So to be sure you might take the matter into your own hands and use a proper sed command to fetch the filename from the Content-Disposition line:

You might have noticed that my regular expression allows for some irregularities in the Content-Disposition header (eg. HTTP headers should not start with a whitespace ... unless it's a folded header which started in a previous line). That's totally intentional.

"Here is an example on how to use netsh interface portproxy to forward all requests that came to local IP on port 25 to 192.168.0.100 on port 80. Remember to enable IPv6!

  c:\>netsh
  netsh>interface portproxy
  netsh interface portproxy>add v4tov4 listenport=25 connectaddress=192.168.0.100 connectport=80 protocol=tcp

You can find more information about the commands here.

If it doesn't work you can use a software for this kind of job. For example if you need to use connectaddress=127.0.0.1 it will not work."

"PassPort is a simple port forwarding utility. The program runs as an NT Service and can forward various ports from any of local interfaces to whatever remote IP address. It is easily manageable with a simple Windows GUI. Runs on MS Windows XP or newer."

It's a Python script that analyses the log of the currentwidget app. There's a detailed description at the author's site. It comes handy when you buy a new battery. Lets you assess whether the battery is truely new.

The option to rotate is -vf as in "video filter". Ffmpeg comes with tons of filters, one of them is "transpose". You can rotate a video 90 degrees like this:

The various parameter values for "transpose" are:

• 0: rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise and vertically flip
• 1: rotate by 90 degrees clockwise
• 2: rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise
• 3: rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and vertically flip

To vertically flip the video, use the "vflip" filter. To horizontally flip, use "hflip".
Eg. to rotate the video by 180 degrees you can combine both flips

You can do similiar rotations in VLC too.

Using the commandline:

Using the GUI: Tools / Effects & Filters / Video Effects / Geometry / Transform / Rotate by 180 degrees
(this is based on VLC v2.0.4 for Windows)

A very good and funny writeup on fighting XSS attacks with HttpOnly cookies. I prefer to set session.cookie_httponly = 1 right in the server's php.ini file (for PHP projects). If a project depends on JavaScript access to cookies, then fix the project and not the other way around.
