Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Relevant to only Jessica: Cablevision to offer HBO Now to its Internet subscribers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I literally *just* heard about that on my commute home. It is most excellent news unless you happen to be on a TWC block without an Apple TV.

(I honestly haven't decided yet if I'm going to pay for it or just keep trading with my parents - they have my Netflix login and I have their HBOGo. So it's not *exactly* stealing...)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ok. So.

I bought the Drobo that I should have bought back when Drew first recommended it. It's slick. I love it. All the basic stuff is up and running smoothly, including the mac side of automated backup with time machine in its own little shares.

Now I want to automate the pc side of backup, so I am installing Crashplan on the NAS as a headless computer as per these directions: [link]

It is at this point that I need to confess that I am not enough of a geek. All the terminal stuff is getting past me. I have successfully installed dropbear for the ssh. I have installed all the dependencies. I have installed Crashplan on the NAS and on the client computers. I have modified the ui.properties, and the NAS is listening on the appropriate ports.

But I am stuck at the port forwarding. I can't figure out how to do this bit:

ssh -L 4200:localhost:4243 @192.0.2.2

It doesn't find -L. Is it because I'm using dropbear? Do I need to use openSSH? I feel like this is probably a simple thing and I just am a novice at ssh stuff.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Is it a bad sign when my phone starts telling me that my charging cable that plugs into the wall is not a supported device? I was rather hoping to keep the old phone for just music when I upgraded.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's what happened to me Julie. I bough a new cable, but I have ended up sending the phone into Apple.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Liese - It looks like -L is a flag for openSSH. I don't know if it's available in other implementations of SSH. I'd suggest one of two solutions: (1) install openSSH, or (2) use the PuTTY "option B".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Great, Jon, thanks. I can install openSSH, which is probably what I should have gone with in the first place.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm having an Instagram problem: when I try to take a picture it sends me to settings to enable access to my camera - but there is no spot in settings where I can enable access to my camera.

Anyone know what to do?

What kind of phone, sumi?


meara - Mar 19, 2015 6:23:00 am PDT #24411 of 25513

If an iPhone its under privacy, then camera--there should be a list of apps that have requested access and you can turn that access on or off.
