Prevent Exim4 from using up all disk space on Debian
Adding the following line to the Exim4 configuration prevents that all the disk space is used up by the messages in the spool folder:
check_spool_space=100M
This refuses incoming messages with a "452 Space shortage, please try later" message when less than 100 megabytes of disk space are available on the partition where the spool folder resides.

The Pirate Bay Trial op-editorial
The trial against The Pirate Bay that started today in Stockholm, Sweden are one of the most important issues of our time. Our adversaries basically wants to close down internets and remodel it into something similar of a sodamachine serving entertainment. During the trial, the prosecutor together with a coterie of representatives for a disabled business model will put up a tacky theater by telling stories designed to convince the court that The Pirate Bay infact is a menace to society.
What differs this trial from most earlier trials is that everything in and surrounding it will whirl round and round in diverse channels of communication; to be discussed, reinterpreted, copied and critizised. Every crack in their appeal will be penetrated by the gaze of thousands upon thousands of eyes on the internets, in all the channels covering the trial. Old cliches from the antipiracy lobby wont stick. You won’t be able to say stuff like, ”you can’t compete with free” or ”filesharing is theft” without a thousand voices making fun of you.
We will create numerous scenes where quite different plays will take place. In local channels like spectrial.bloggy.se where the immediate physical surroundings of the court are being discussed. ”Which cafés nearby will give us connection?” ”How can we get electricity to the bus?” But also in international channels like Twitter, where right now the torrent of information is being translated into fifteen different languages. Translations and coverage being made by ordinary users of internets. Volunteers sign up to make trial-tourist guides to the surroundings, drive the bus or hook up audio. People fly in from far away countries to cover the trial and tell the world their video story of the Sweden they see.
Here all participants are potential actors in the Spectrial. Our channels form a meltingpot of reporting and engagement.
Our communication around the spectacle aims in no way towards an objective report on an external chain of events. Rather, the trial is a hub around which a whole new network of actors is instigated. Neither is the spectacle a question of old media against digital, social medias. Our social medias include a paper fanzine and a 32 year old bus, connecting us and others physically.
It’s not about the protocols nor the technology. It’s about using these to create new congregations, where anyone is invited and anyone can find their role, build new scenes and make their own performances.
The future is built by us. Us who participate in conversations. The future is built by us who explore how information and performativity is coming together. To refuse a debate and still expect to be able to charge consumers is since long a closed door. To also try and outlaw certain types of conversations is downright disgraceful.
The coverage of the trial is not unique in these qualities. More and more areas see the creation of conversations on and the exploration of new stances on culture and cultural economy. A gigantic collective exploration has set sails. Every route differs from the other. But they have one thing in common: The industry interests that the state is representing are never present in these conversations. This is why they wont be part in building the future.

Opera 9.25 vs Safari JavaScript syntax error forgiveness
The following definition of an Array works without problems in Safari (and probably Firefox too), but triggers an (legitimate) error in Opera 9.25:
var myArray = [ 1.2, 2.3, 3.4, ];
The error is triggered by the superfluous comma after the last element of the Array. It may be argued for both behaviors, but I would prefer all Browsers accepting such an Array definition also since in other languages (C, Python, PHP) such a redundant comma does not cause any trouble.

Fast disk upgrade for my MacBook Pro
Here's how to upgrade the disk of a MacBook Pro in 45 minutes while keeping all your data/settings/applications:
- Uninstall rEFIt and make sure your MBP restarts with the Apple 'default' bootloader
- Follow the iFixit Guide to replace your disk
- Put the old disk in a SATA-to-USB case (they are available for $7.89 from Newegg.com)
- Connect the old disk to your MBP and turn the MBP on. (The MBP automagically recognizes the old system and runs it)
- Open the Disk Manager and partition your new disk.
- Select your new 'system' Volume and open the "Restore" tab.
- Drag your old 'system' Volume to the "Source" field and your new 'system' Volume to the "Target" field. Click on "Restore", the contents of your old disk are now copied to the new disk.
- After the restore process finishes, shutdown your MBP.
- Disconnect your old disk and turn on your MBP.
- Voilà. You are booting from the new disk and all your data/settings/applications are there too!
