Starting a local Webserver for Testing
Easiest way is to open a console window in what you would like to have as root directory of your webserver and start
python -m http.server
Then, by serving to http://127.0.0.1:8000 you will be able to view and browse the contents.
To specify a port, just add the port number to the command, for example
python -m http.server 9999
Please not that this webserver does not support https, so you have to enter the URL with a starting http:// and you might have to click away a browser warning because of the unsecured site.
Therefore, only use this for local testing!
filegive: send and receive files across computers
filegive easily sends or receives files point-to-point, with authentication and ciphering, and the other side only needs a Web browser. No third party server is involved in the transfer. It can use common NAT traversal protocols like uPnP and NAT-PMP, manually forwarded ports, or a public ssh server.
filegive is a commandline tool available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS.
Missing fonts when starting X-application on Linux
Recently, I got the following error message when I tried to start an X-application under Linux:
Some fonts seem to be missing in your system, you should install either xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi and then restart Xorg to get xboard running.
I got this error message despite having the packages xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi installed. After scratching my head for some time I found the problem: I was running the application via ssh with X-forwarding from a Windows PC. And the Xserver was actually running on Windows, namely the Xming application.
The problem was quickly fixed by downloading the font packages from the Xming page.
How does a computer get infected with a virus or spyware?
Unfortunately, it became quite easy nowadays to infect your computer with malware:
- Accepting some plug-in or toolbar installation
- Opening email attachments “thesisgenerator.exe”
- Not running the latest updates on the operating system, the browser, etc.
- Installing software or media from unknown sources
- Running your system without a firewall
Sometimes, webpages try to scare users to install a trojan. For example, there exists a trojan version of the program MacSweeper, which promises to clean your system 😛
