Fuck GFW chinese

Linux June 25th, 2009

Google.com has been blocked yesterday night, all services could not been accessed in China mainland. And @belltoy reminded that he could not accessed Gmail through SSH tunnel, so I consider that maybe I need a secure VPN connection.
I have set up a OpenVPN server on my VPS with Xupeng’s help, and a TinyProxy listened on VPN’s subnet for who don’t want modify route table.
By VPN + TinyProxy + Firefox + FoxyProxy, we fuck the GFW off!

PS: For OpenVPN Configuration on my Gentoo system, see http://center.lazytech.info/wiki/OpenVPNConfiguration

Djangoat is short for Django Auto Tester, but I often pronounce it “djan-goat”… This script does monitor Django project directory by inotify mechanism, run unit tests when file changed, and notify errors through Mumbles if tests failed. It depends on inotify and Mumbles, so runs on Linux only, Mac version comes later…

Python code:

CHM Reader is a great extension make Firefox support .chm file, project host on:http://sourceforge.net/projects/chmreader/

When I compiled it on my OSX 10.5.7 occurred following issue:

g++ -o components/mozCHMModule.os -c -fPIC -I/Users/duo/xulrunner-sdk/include -I/Users/duo/xulrunner-sdk/sdk/include components/mozCHMModule.cpp
/Users/duo/xulrunner-sdk/sdk/include/nsStringAPI.h:1053: error: size of array 'arg' is negative
scons: *** [components/mozCHMModule.os] Error 1

The line in nsStringAPI.h is PR_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(wchar_t) == 2), but 4-bytes is the default wide character size on macs, so we should add -fshort-wchar to compile flag options.

The other issue in link stage:

ld: file not found: @executable_path/libsmime3.dylib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [platform/Darwin_x86-gcc3/components/libchm.dylib] Error 1

Just add -Wl,-executable_path -Wl,/path/to/gecko/sdk/bin to link flag options.
