With the recent closing of Newzbin and then a few days later NZBMatrix, the heat is obviously on for Usenet indexers.

A quick brain dump after my questing for anyone dealing with this.. excuse my messy text. A Google search for “Ubuntu NetworkManager Commandline” offers help disabling the NetworkManager; installing it (help.ubuntu) and refers you [...]

Een geweldig concept en een welkome aansluiting bij ons geregeld koffies slurpen op de kouter! (Niets zo leuk als tussen de bloemen kuiieren en met interessante mensen koffietjes slurpen – Bedenk ik me net dat [...]
