<html><body><p>So, I use <a href="http://rxvt.sf.net">rxvt</a> as my daily interface to my computers. I also use <a href="http://www.mutt.org">mutt</a> for my email reading pleasure. Sometimes, I get URLs in email and I want to read them in a browser. If I was using a GUI based mail reader, I would just click the URL to open it. Well, there is an easy way to set up rxvt to do that!</p>
<p>Using the fine <a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org">Arch Linux wiki</a> entry for <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/rxvt-unicode#Clickable_URLs">rxvt unicode</a>, the solution is quite easy. In the file <strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong>, add:</p>
<pre><code>URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
URxvt.url-launcher: /usr/bin/firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
</code></pre>
<p>And either do a <strong>xrdb --merge ~/.Xdefaults</strong> or log out/log in. And start a new rxvt, and you are good to go.</p></body></html>

<html><body><p>I needed to write an iso image to a USB key, and the typical way is
with just dd(8), but I wanted a progress bar. A quick google later,
and I get:</p>
<pre><code>pv -tpreb isoname | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1024</code></pre>
<p>Which will write the iso image to the USB stick sdd, and give me a
progress bar, tell me how fast it is writing, and give me an eta when
finished. Perfect.</p></body></html>

<html><body><p>Today is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day">All Saints Day</a>, so it seems natural to let duckland.org start new again.</p>
<p>As is popular in Hollywood, I have decided to reboot this web site after 6 1/2 years. I have not decided about the old content.</p>
<p>I am planning on using this as a technical notebook. <em>Shrug</em> I hope to make it worth while.</p></body></html>

<html><body><p>So, I am starting a new personal project at the house, and I need a new server. As I was wanting to learn more about the *BSD, I started looking around at things like <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="http://www.netBSD.org">NetBSD</a>, or <a href="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a>.</p>
<p>Since there was a security part, I started with <strong>OpenBSD</strong>. One of
the things I noticed quickly while doing my research is that while
there is a lot of documentation, they do not really seem to care about
making it easy for new folks to join the project, nor are the trying
to support new-fangled hardware, like <a href="http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/bootable-OpenBSD-USB-stick-from-windows-td223393.html">bootable USB
drives</a>.
This strikes me odd, as FreeBSD has <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html">instructions (see
2.3.5)</a>.</p>
<p>Since I want to use pf, I am going to stay with OpenBSD for now.</p></body></html>
