You will also need a mixer… and a woman that will do all the work for You… /Me runs for the hills…

Crepes_Pancakes_009

A) So… Grab a bowl and add the flour and the pinch of salt.

D) Add sparkling water to the bowl.

E) Break the eggs.

F) I like to break each egg into a cup and check for the egg shells before I will add the egg to the bowl.

G) Add eggs to the bowl.

Crepes_Pancakes_021

J) Start mixing.

K) Some of the mixers are badly designed and they are not reaching to the bottom of the bowl. Make sure that You have checked bottom of the bowl for flour snot.

Crepes_Pancakes_025

L) And keep mixing if necessary.

Crepes_Pancakes_026

Crepes_Pancakes_027

M) Mix until the entire batter has a even and smooth texture.

N) Pour a tiny itsy bitsy dot of oil on the pan.

Crepes_Pancakes_030

O) Take a paper kitchen towel and wipe it off while spreading the bit of oil evenly on the pan. DON’T throw the paper away. You will need it.

Crepes_Pancakes_031

Crepes_Pancakes_032

Crepes_Pancakes_033

P) Move part of the batter from the bowl into a measuring jug. Its easier to pour the batter onto a frying pan this way.

Crepes_Pancakes_034

Crepes_Pancakes_036

Q) Start pouring (very thin) layer of batter onto a hot frying pan.

Crepes_Pancakes_037

R) Move the pan around to spread the batter evenly.

Crepes_Pancakes_038

S) After a (very short) while start prying one side of the pancake with a spatula.

Crepes_Pancakes_039

T) If everything went as planed You should be able to pick the pancake up and flip it to the other side.

Crepes_Pancakes_040

Crepes_Pancakes_041

U) Take the ready pancake off and pour next batch of batter on the pan.

Crepes_Pancakes_042

V) Result? Very thin and equally very awesome crepes pancake AndrzejL style… +10 to the charisma in the kitchen +5 to self-respect.

Crepes_Pancakes_043

W) Every once in a while re-grease the pan with a oil / kitchen paper towel.

Crepes_Pancakes_044

Crepes_Pancakes_045

X) Keep going…

Crepes_Pancakes_046

Crepes_Pancakes_047

Y) Pheeeew… The last one…

Crepes_Pancakes_048

Final result? 19 1/2 awesome super thin crepes pancakes…

Crepes_Pancakes_049

Crepes_Pancakes_050

You can roll them with jam / chocolate / white cheese / tomato and basil sauce inside or use them as a next step of making croquets… I like to use them instead of tortillas to make chicken wraps. Makes no difference.

Enjoy.

P.S. Not a single woman was hurt (much) during making of this howto.

[.CONF] Fail2ban and Shorewall configs that work well with sshd and keep You updated via e-mail.

Fri, 13th Feb 2015 EDIT: Now fail2ban also works with dovecot and postfix… 😉

I assume You’re using Shorewall + Fail2ban to tighten your sshd security and protect yourself from a brute-force attack. About basic Shorewall configuration and installation I wrote here. Installation of fail2ban is ridiculously simple. Install. Enable. Configure. Start.

Configuration however of the two of them together can be tricky. I’ve done it. Created backups of the .conf files and after today’s fail2ban upgrade that wiped my .conf file I’ve decided to make them public.

Here is my shorewall.conf adjusted so that it works with Fail2ban:

Here is my jail.conf edited to work with Shorewall.

Some fiddling with the jail.conf will be necessary (recipients e-mail address, ban time, sshd port etc.). Shorewall’s config is just about ready to use as it is. If You want to make it work with services other then sshd, postfix, postfix sasl and dovecot – you’re on your own. More fiddling with jail.conf (and possibly other .conf files) will be required.

I will try keeping them updated.

Current files work:

Examples of info that fail2ban e-mails to the user:

[Fail2Ban] SSH: started on icsserver.loc

Hi,

The jail SSH has been started successfully.

Regards,

Fail2Ban

[Fail2Ban] SSH: stopped on icsserver.loc

Hi,

The jail SSH has been stopped.

Fail2Ban

[Fail2Ban] SSH: banned ZZZ.XXX.YYY.ABC from icsserver.loc

Hi,

The IP ZZZ.XXX.YYY.ABC has just been banned by Fail2Ban after
3 attempts against SSH.

Here is more information about ZZZ.XXX.YYY.ABC:

[.CONF] Syslog-ng – configured to work as a remote logging server.

Hi there.

I’ve decided to create centralized logs server for my network to gather logs from the devices like routers and so on.

The long story short. To do this You need to install and enable syslog-ng package, configure it, open firewall port, create the folder for the logs, give it the right permissions and start the syslog-ng.

su

pacman -S syslog-ng

systemctl enable syslog-ng

Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service.

To configure the syslog-ng as a remote server add this bit as a last lines in the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file:

source s_net { udp(); };
destination remote { file("/var/log/remote/${FULLHOST}-log"); };
log { source(s_net); destination(remote); };

Here is my entire .conf file for You to have a look at.

Then (as root) run:

mkdir -p /var/log/remote/

chown -Rf root:log /var/log/remote/

Now open firewall port if needed.

systemctl start syslog-ng

IF You did everything correctly You should now have open port 514/UDP on the interface that is facing outwards.

su -c "nmap -sU -p 514 192.168.1.50"

Starting Nmap 6.47SVN ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-10-30 11:06 GMT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.50
Host is up (0.00033s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE
514/udp open|filtered syslog

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 14.45 seconds

Now configure Your router to use external logs (if it supports it).

Remote_Syslog_Server_Router_Config_001

Voila…

tail -f /var/log/remote/192.168.1.254-log

Oct 30 11:11:43 192.168.1.254 syslog: category:”Sec_Account” detail:”User admin login from 192.168.1.50 successful”
Oct 30 11:11:44 192.168.1.254 syslog: category:”Sec_Account” detail:”User admin login from 192.168.1.50 successful”

Cheers.

After a while I have figured out that I need to add US locale to my system. So I have edited (as root) the file /etc/locale.gen and unhashed the

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

line and re-run (also as root)

locale-gen

command.

Generating locales…
en_IE.UTF-8… done
en_US.UTF-8… done
Generation complete.

That has allowed me to move forward until I was stopped by the “unable to load vgui2” error.

/home/buildbot/buildslave_steam/steam_rel_client_ubuntu12_linux/build/src/steamUI/Main.cpp (2231) : Assertion Failed: !”Fatal Error: Could not load module ‘bin/vgui2_s.dll'”

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1411443970)
Error: Could not load module ‘vgui2_s.so’.

For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9205-OZVN-0660.

To fix that I needed to install openal and lib32-openal packages which are NOT in Steam dependencies for whatever the reason…

It still won’t run but at least I am 2 steps closer to a solution…

Cheers.

SMPlayer 14.9 is now available! Heck yeah!

Woke up today and found this in my rss feed: “SMPlayer 14.9 available for Ubuntu”.

SMPlayer was / is my favorite media player since I have installed it in I think 2008. It is still being actively developed. Bug fixes and new features are being added.

This is a maintenance release. This version provides a new fix for Youtube playback. We also improved the option to search for subtitles. There’s a new feature, requested by many users: now it’s possible to shut down the computer after playback.

I have requested the “PC shutdown after stop playing” feature back in 2010 when I was still using PCLinuxOS. Good to see that it has made its way to the project ;D.

Here is my PKGBUILD for the qt4 svn version of SMPlayer: https://andrzejl.eu:30303/pkgbuilds/smplayer-qt4-svn.tar.gz

SMPlayer 14.9

Its working great as always. Job well done rvm. Again :).

Cheers.

Andrzej
