		<title>Language Detection Done Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a little rant about a sin of which Google, Microsoft, and MySpace, and many other big names are all guilty: Automatic language detection based on anything except the actual Accept-Language header the browser sends. They instead use IP geolocation or try to guess from you picking the country you are from.
I am Danish, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>And out goes Bitstream Vera&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally had enough of looking at Bitstream Vera, so I uninstalled it. I had previously merely changed the system default to Tahoma via the MS TTF core fonts, which helped immensely, but then today I stumbled upon the Try KDE page. For some reason, they have hard-coded their site to use Bitstream Vera. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Increasing Apache&#8217;s Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the Apache HTTP Server is a wonderful piece of software, it sadly does not have any built-in way of running vhosts as the user they represent, which has been the headache of many an admin. Either have to fiddle with groups, running multiple daemons, or something worse. In most cases, it led to users [...]]]></description>

		<title>Incremental Backup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago when I started wanting good incremental backups for my data, I looked around the net and found many good tools, but none that did exactly what I wanted. Either the process to restore from the backup was slow, or they didn&#8217;t support SSH, or any number of other small annoyances.
So I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seamless Transition with Rsync and SSH</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the ways to seamlessly transition services from one machine to another is by setting the Time To Live of the domains to something very low a few days before, then switch their IP to the new, and setting TTL back to normal when you can be sure it has propagated.
While that works, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I Prep A Server&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Edited 2008-10-31: Refinements, further optimizations, Fedora 9.
This week I got a fresh machine from ServerBeach to play with, and thought it would be interesting to jot down what I do with a server before I consider it usable. The preinstalled OS is Fedora Core 6.
The order here is not chronological; more a general overview of [...]]]></description>

I now update and upload the package with a script so I don&#8217;t have to edit this post to do it. This means that the size and date may be wildly off. To know the precise date of last update, see the containing folder.

Those who know, but know not that they know, awaken them&#8230;for they are&#8230;but asleep.
