Facebook security

I’ve just discovered a lot of useful options in facebook security settings.
Just go to profile -> settings -> security.

You can turn on

  • https
  • login notifications, which means you are notified everytime you (or someone else) access your facebook profile from a computer you haven’t used before.
    Facebook sends you an email containing the time, place and IP address…
  • login approvals: everytime you log in to facebook from an unrecognized computer, you have to enter the security code that facebook sends you in a sms message to your phone.
    The only question is: do I have to pay for the messages that facebook sends me?

All of them are very useful, and at least the first 2 should be enabled by default.
But I think these settings were unavailable when I registered facebook.
So here is the question: why don’t you notify people about these security options, fb? I think most of the users don’t know about them…

mpd exited on signal 10

My favorite music player is mpd (Music Player Daemon), with Sonata client.

There was an annoying bug which caused mpd to crash everytime I wanted to update the song library with any client, writing the message “mpd exited on signal 10” to dmesg.

Solution:
Well it turned out that this is a ffmpeg bug: if you encounter this bug, you have 2 choices:

  • Recompile mpd without ffmpeg support
  • Recommended: Disable the ffmpeg plugin in the mpd.conf configuration file

I’ve choosed the first way, because I didn’t know about the second one :)
If you don’t want (or don’t know how) to recompile mpd, check this link, it describes how to disable a plugin.

Thanks for cirrus from the #mpd irc channel for his help.

First of all

Here I am. :)

I’m a beginner haskell programmer, and I would like to share my experiences about it.
I’m planning to post about general programming topics, c++, haskell of course, SDL programming, linux, FreeBSD, life and such things. :)

Also I’m gonna develop a game (a game like super mario, in haskell using SDL) for learning purposes and I will keep this blog up to date about it.

Follow me if you are interested in my topics :)
