I admire the collection of notes which Chuck Cranor assembled at
<http://www.ccrc.wustl.edu/pub/chuck/tech/notes/>.
This collection is a humble reflection, of course.
The main idea here is to keep the information itself instead of
information about where to obtain information.
Python
Fedora
Sun Hardware and Solaris
IBM Mainframe
Miscellanea
- Zilog 8530 registers cheat sheet:
Read Registers,
Write Registers,
complete tarball.
- How to access remote CVS on instance of the
old vger. Note: vger is not accessible anymore, use this
as a template or general instructions.
- How to set masquerading with ipchains.
[This is obsolete, use iptables!]
- DEC VT-320 pinout.
- 168pin DIMM notches.
- Current Loop to RS-232 adapter schematics.
- Andrey Chernov's KOI-8R write-up in KOI-8 :)
- UNIX and GNU
Regular Expressions.
- C operator precedence.
- How to enable kgdb in Linux on SPARC,
and Why you can use kadb with kgdb.
- Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf for ISC DHCP Daemon.
- What is a Realtime OS
(by Valentin Pepelea).
- Local copy of Hacker HOWTO by ESR.
- Linus on the Linux Trademark.
- Linus' tree by Linus & Viro.
- How to apply patches:
My old way to use Linux kernel trees (non-hardlinked - this was too long ago).
- Makefile to build out-of-tree modules
on a Red Hat(r) Linux(tm) system, circa 7.2 (kernel 2.4).
- Makefile to build out-of-tree modules
on a Fedora Core 2 system (kernel 2.6).
- esr_halloween.html: ESR MS Halloween.
- lm-smp-20000126.txt:
Larry McVoy rants about SGI SMP and Numa. Historic interest, circa 2000.
- Example of .gtkrc.mine; tells how to
set default UI fonts for non-GNOME GTK+ applications, such as
gimp, xchat, jpilot.
- Linus moves to OSDL.
- Linus on __raw_writeb().
- LM on metrics for patch bloat.
A valliant attempt, but a doomed one.
- DaveM and AKPM on in-kernel
IRQ balancer.
- Roman's Kconfig HOWTO.
- Greg K-H's final udev.
- Rusty Russell's FAQ about modules in 2.6.
- Andy Glew and Anto Eartl about tagged
TLBs,
which are important on x86, because it has no explitic tagging.
- How to do sleep/wakeup in Linux.
Note: This is really old, from the times when
we struggled with users of sleep_on(). IIRC, it referred to kernel 2.2.
It is no longer needed to copy from datagram.c.
In kernel 2.6, refer to the implementation of wait_for_completion()
for a succint code example.
- Linus on GPL in October 2002.
- How to make gnome-moz-remote
to call Firefox instead of Mozilla

It's a never-ending saga and there's always a wise guy who wants it.
- Memo on continuation inodes
by Val Henson.
- Cheat sheet for USB control packet
by Alan Stern.
- How to use :restrict_unauthenticated in Pleroma.
Non-computer
Transients
These are notes that would belong to Miscellanea section
but probably do not have a lasting value, and so do not deserve
to be there.
Links
Obviously, the notes page cannot contain the whole Internet, ergo links.
I moved my own to a separate webapp Slasti.
