I wanted to digitalise some old VHS-Videos.

The main thing is, that my /dev/video1 (TV-Card) got more than one inputs (regular TV-Cable input and S-Video) How to tell the program to grab input 2 instead of standard input 1?

After hours of searching with all possible programs on Linux, I finally landed in the console with ffmpeg.

Sometimes it can be helpful to list the crontabs of all users. Eg. to find out why your server periodically has a load of over 80%...

Now you can search all crontabs that are done on the time of your load peak.

In order to benefit from drupals amazing functionality concerning multisite capability, you have to do some extra-stuff in your plesk-config, more precisely in your vhost-config.

Example scenario

You administer 50 customer drupal sites on your plesk-server. Every time a new drupal release comes up, you have to update every single one of this 50 installations (we didn't even talk about the modules).
No question: enormous waste of time and disk space.

Let's dare an approach

1. Install some 32-bit libraries.
   (x)ubuntu
   sudo aptitude install ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns

   gentoo

   emerge ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns
2. Download cisco_opt.tar.gz (find below) and unpack it to /opt. After that you should have a directory /opt/cisco.
   
   wget http://guldener.net/sites/default/files/cisco_opt.tar_.gz
   tar -xzf cisco_opt.tar_.gz
   sudo mv cisco /opt/
3. Now, in order to get the libraries needed, download firefox for 32bit:
   Download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html

after converting the vid, you can load your movies and videos on your portable apple device.

I found a tool to comfortably edit runlevels by console.

It's called sysv-rc-conf.

I just used it in kubuntu, but according to the description, it should also do the job in other distris. (gentoo doesn't work, tested it.)
