According to Wikipedia, Ottman based the lyrics on a well known poem by german writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – The Wanderer (Ein Gleiches, Wandrers Nachtlied, written in 1780).

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch
Die Vögelein schweigen
Vögelein schweigen
Schweigen im Walde
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch
Die Vögelein schweigen
Schweigen im Walde
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du
Ruhest du auch

/etc/fstab

Add the following line  at the end depending on volume and mount point:

/dev/sdb1 /var/hda/files/myvolume

Save and exit.

If the volume is formatted with NTFS, use the following syntax instead:

/dev/sdb1 /var/hda/files/myvolume ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

First you need to find out what the volume is called within Fedora. To list the drives recognized by the system type the following in terminal:

ls /dev/sd*

Let’s say you want to mount the volume named “sdb1″, then use:

mount /dev/sdb1 /var/hda/files/myvolume

If the volume you want to mount is an NTFS drive, instead use:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /var/hda/files/myvolume

Note that you may need to change priviligies on the mounted drive if you want to download directly from Amahi or copy to it over the network.

When you’ve mounted the volume in /var/files/ you only need to specify the name you gave it to add it as a share in Amahi share settings.

If you want to mount the volume automatically when you boot, read Automount a volume in Fedora.

Fire up terminal, locally or via SSH and log in as root.

Edit the following file:

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

Example:

nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf

Add the following to the end of the file:

[daemon]
 TimedLoginEnable=true
 AutomaticLoginEnable=true
 AutomaticLogin=yourusername
 TimedLogin=yourusername
 TimedLoginDelay=0

Save and exit. On reboot, the machine should autologin with the username you specified.

So I went fishing for a cheap setup for my new (hd-)(tv) needs. Since I consume at least 10 hours worth of podcasting every week there was a small chance to run across something useful. And the FLOSS Weekly guys interviewed the project manager for Amahi Home Server.

Quick look:

• YES – Home server running on Fedora Linux
• YES – App-store-ish way of installing applications with one-click (mentioned probaby 100 times in Floss weekly episode 112)
• YES – Built-in and preconfigured VPN and Samba shares
• NO – Replacement of Media center or media streamer
  You still need something that connects to your TV or projector. I chose the reasonably priced Western Digital WD TV Live HD.
• NO – plug-and-play.
  Though this is marketed as a quick and easy solution you still need some basic knowledge not to mention interest in Linux to get it working properly. Example, even if you’ve partitioned a hard drive in Windows or Mac before it’s still not quite the same with Fedora. That said you get a lot of help with the setup from the excellent installation guide provided by Amahi.

But when I got it running it’s doing just fine. I’ll post some quick terminal guide how-tos of things I had to do in order to mount drives, autologin on boot etc.

API skillz.

Support for editing and exporting photos and video to social networks and photo sharing sites is found in iPhoto (Facebook, Picasa etc – only by 3rd party though). The thing with PS Express is that you’re allowed to import your external pics from within the web app. After finishing them up with a basic set of tools much like those found in iPhoto or Picasa you simply send them back to your site of choice. As of today Facebook, Photobucket and Picasa Web album is supported. Flickr should be there soon as well.

Annoyance warning: PS Express puts a caption on its own on all photos you upload back to Facebook. Meh.

Adobe Flash Player 9 now includes H.264 standard video support, the same standard deployed in Blu-Ray® and HD-DVD® high definition video players, and High Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) audio capabilities. The latest update also features hardware accelerated, multi-core enhanced, full-screen video playback for high-resolution viewing across major operating systems and browsers.

(min fråga 38:50 in i programmet)

Själva programmet kostar $20 vilket med dagens dollarkurs renderade 130 riksdaler. Sen pröjsar man Amazon för skickad och lagrad data. Priserna ändras ju men just nu kostar det $0.15 per lagrad GB/månad + $0.10 per GB skickat (upp till 10TB). Rätt överkomligt.

Bra:

• Relativt billigt
• Intuitiv installation, mappas som en nätverksdisk automatiskt
• Etablerat och namnkunnigt back-end för lagringen
• AES-256 bit kryptering för all data som skickas till S3
• Brett OS-stöd (finns för Win, Mac o Linux)

Dåligt:

• Rätt dålig hastighet när man skickar. Se det som en “trickle upload”. Låt stå ett tag helt enkelt första gången. Jag har drygt 1 mbit ut men snittar på 0.45 mbit när jag skickar. Det blev runt ett dygn med 7-8 GB…
• Funktionaliteten i programmet. Skulle vilja se lite bättre basicfunktioner som t.ex. incremental backup för stora filer där endast delar har förändrats. Har funnits på önskelistan ett tag om man läser på forumet men inget som är inkorporerat än.
• Fokuserat på filtyper och inte mapphierarki. Om man vill utesluta enskilda mappar från backup måste man filtrera á la Firefox Ad-block.

Som sammanfattning är detta en billig om än lite taggig backuplösning med gott renommé.

• Vegas Movie Studio (stöd för DV, DVD-produktion etc)
• Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Edition (stöd för HDV, AVCHD och DVD-produktion)
• Vegas Pro (AC-3 export, HD, SD/HD SDI, XDCAM, DVD + BluRay etc.)
  

Detta ser ju ut som ganska tydlig gränsdragning även om jag har svårt att se hemvideoamatören investera i Vegas-program när både iMovie och Windows movie maker båda två fått rejäla ansiktslyftningar. Det regnar ju inte direkt nya funktioner med nya versioner av de här programmen, men en sak som jag tror kommer hjälpa upp 8:an är en ny mixer. Eller rättare sagt, en mixer som alla DAW:ar i världshistorien tillhandahållit tidigare. Antar att det här är ett sätt att blidka alla köpare av semipro-mixkonsoller som finns på hyllorna därute.

Det blir lätt så att man stirrar på röd tejp

“This is the camera I’ve been waiting for my whole career: jaw-dropping imagery recorded onboard a camera light enough to hold with one hand. I don’t know how Jim and the RED team did it–and they won’t tell me–but I know this: RED is going to change everything.” says [Steven] Soderbergh.

The prototypes are two generations newer than Boris and Natasha, the cameras Peter Jackson used to shoot “Crossing the Line” in New Zealand a couple of months ago.

The RED 18-55mm T3 (f2.8) CF lens and many RED accessories were also chosen by Soderbergh for these movies. Shooting begins in Spain July 24th.
