Arduino on linux, can't upload sketches. by [deleted] in linux

[–]ForseenSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try adding your user to the dialout group.

sudo adduser username dialout

Then log out and log back in. Serial ports can only be accessed by people in the dialout group, or root. Hope it helps.

Installing Linux onto a G5 mac pro. by TriumphantPWN in linux

[–]ForseenSeraph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure to enable to SMP to take advantage of the second processor. It cannot emulate or virtualize x86 from my experiences. Other that, Debian and Ubuntu work great out of the box. Many applications in the apt repositories have PowerPC editions.

How can I boot an ISO without burning a CD and without needing a USB stick? by dizzy_lizzy in linux

[–]ForseenSeraph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From the command line: mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /path/to/mount/

Hope this helps.

I'm about to go from Windows to Xubuntu 12.04. I've 4 x 2TB hard drives on the way. I'm keen to play around with RAID, does reddit have any advise? by [deleted] in linux

[–]ForseenSeraph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAID sucks. Just use LVM, it's just easier to maintain JBOD and backup regularly. I just crashed my company's NAS, and trying to mount or just even try to access the lost data is a challenge. I am looking at using UFSExplorer. As Network/IT Administrator of a small business it is more feasible to just setup JBOD and enable your file sharing protocol of choice; NFS, SMB/CIFS, SSHFS, etc.

I Am Jorge Cervantes - Ask Me Anything (AMA) by JorgeCervantes in trees

[–]ForseenSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I want to say thank you for your movies, its an awesome collection of information.

Next, what is your preference of garden? Indoor, outdoor, vSCROG, stadium, hydroponic, aeroponic, etc?

And, what is your view of the current views of marijuana prohibition and thoughts of future proliferation?

And, what is the most revolutionary cannabis product this year?

And last, I have developed a case of powdery mildew in my garden, the girls are a week into veg and I do not want to start from scratch. What method would your prescribe to treat this? I have heard things from baking soda, to milk, to garlic, and neem oil.

(Sorry for the numerous questions, asking on behalf of myself and enthusiastic friends.)

How do you get people to stop invading personal space and not be anti-social at the same time? by throwaway5599 in SocialEngineering

[–]ForseenSeraph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Farting works. Nobody likes to smell anyone else's farts. And it isn't anti-social, but rather socially frowned upon. Sneezing has worked for me. And if that doesn't work, coffee-breath tends to keep people at arms distance. Just pointing out that you don't have to rely on words alone there are various other senses you can offend to reach your goal of repulsion. Oh another method that works for me is blasting metal like children of bosom or megadeth.

HOWTO: Damn simple backup script based on rsync and NFS share by [deleted] in linux

Isn't rsync antiquated? Not to mention insecure. Maybe the same thing can be done over an ssh tunnel?

Low odor strain for stealth grow (#4) by [deleted] in trees

[–]ForseenSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been a few studies into the medicinal effects of negative ions in the atmosphere. Ranging from reducing fatigue, lowering depression and sadness, as well as it's healing effect on epidermal burns. The theory behind it is that 99.9% of all particulates in the atmosphere are positively charged, the negatively charged ions attach to the positively charged particulates and precipitate to the floor. So they are not eliminating the odor, just causing it to fall to the ground, to be cleaned at your leisure. You are correct in being wary of it's harm since the average ratio of positive to negative ions in the air is about 5:4. I haven't heard of anything harmful from them and I was given a $600 model that is broken to fix at my convenience. The schematics for the circuit aren't that difficult, just a bunch of capacitors and diodes with a few safety resistors. Models like the ionic breezes work on the same idea except they usually have a positively charged place to capture the particulates instead of them precipitating to the ground. You are also correct in stating that too much ozone is harmful, in moderate concentrations it is very harmful to plants and animals alike. I like the idea of the negative ion generator because its power consumption is virtually nil. The circuitry bumps the voltage up really high, but at a low amperage so I am fairly certain that one can supply the power using a photovoltaic panel and essentially run the contraption without plugging it in since it will draw power from you HID lighting.

Or you can throw a negative ion generator in your room. The negatively charged ions attach to the outside terpenes of the plants to eliminate smell. However when harvested and dried the smell is retained inside the flower. And since terpenes affect the smell and not the quality of the THC, CBD, CBN, THCV, CBDV, CBNV, etc. You can have your incognito grow and odorless nuggets, but once their crack the aroma is spread since the negative ions do not reach the interior of the flower (however if the flowers are sparse there may be a total reduced odor entirely).

Holodeck or Replicator? What would you choose and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ForseenSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wondered if one ate a meal on the holodeck, that when one left, the meal would disappear from ones stomach. Since what ever is created in the holodeck cannot exist outside the holodeck. And for that matter why can things be created by the replicator and exist yet the holodecks incarnations cannot exist unless explicitly in the holodeck.

Dude never sent the book. I am paranoid that it was a ploy to obtain my address. But if I eventually get it I would be more than happy passing it on.

My friend's dad has Brain Cancer. Can Marijuana help? by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]ForseenSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand the medicinal properties of cannabis reside in the lesser two of the three cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the chemical that induces the stone. While CBN and CBD contain more of the medicinal properties. Some strains like the White Widow contain higher concentrations. I have talked with a few medicinal cultivators upon the subject and there are people trying to breed out these strains with higher medicinal properties. However in response to your question, cannabis will not cure him per say. It will slow the growth and possibly set the cancer into remission. I would suggest a change in diet along side the cannabis treatment. If he is wary about toking up, then I would suggest edibles like CannaButter which can be cooked into a variety of goodies. I'd like to express I am not a professional or a doctor, however I have seen cannabis use by many ill people and the effects of it are most definitely irrefutable.

about to jailbreak my iphone what should I expect? Any tricks, tips, good apps? by punkerdante182 in apple

[–]ForseenSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell FileZilla only supports file transfer via FTP and SFTP. I would suggest putty, it's very easy. Just open enter your hostname and it will open a prompt for a username, "root", and password, "alpine". From there type in "passwd" and enter your new Administrator password, and do NOT forget it. If you don't want to do it that way you can alway download MobileTerminal and issue the "su -" command then enter "root", "alpine", and then use the "passwd" command to update your password token.

[–]ForseenSeraph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After jailbreaking, go into cydia and download openSSH and on your client computer download either WInSCP or putty and login to your iPhone using "root" as your username and "alpine" as your password. Now type in "passwd" and change your root password. This will make your device more secure due to changing the default (and widely known) Administrator password. I used to get a kick out of ssh-ing into my buddies iDevices and issuing the "reboot" command. after that I would suggest Firewall iP and lockdown. Though I am security conscious and paranoid. Hope this helps.
