  • Jag och mitt skal – Introduktion till terminaler och shells

    Denna video är ju rolig på sitt vis, många tar den säkert dock på allvar, och tror verkligen att terminaler och skal i *nix (Unix, GNU/Linux, BSD, jag kommer i fortsättningen skriva *nix) är något svårt och komplicerat att använda sig utav. Men så är det inte, terminalen, och skalet, är det Sanna sättet att använda en dator på, och är inget som är svårt, farligt, eller långsamt, tvärtom.

  • How to set up a SIP trunk in the Asterisk PBX

    In my previous article we configured Asterisk with some SIP-devices, and created a basic dialplan so that they could dial eachother. We also created two additional extensions for test purposes. This time I will show you how to configure a SIP trunk, and add extensions in the dialplan so that the telephones can dial out through the trunk. And if you also have a telephone number (DID) associated with the trunk, for others to be able to dial your phones, through your Asterisk PBX.

    What is a SIP trunk?

    A SIP trunk is often defined using many buzz- and marketing words throughout the web, but, what it basically is, is a two-way connection to a VOIP-provider, that routes the calls you send to it, out on the PSTN for you, and charges you for the calls you make. If you also have a DID (Direct Inward Dialing) number at the provider, calls made to you are forwarded to your Asterisk PBX, then you switch the calls as you see fit. Through a trunk, many calls can be sent, the limit is only your bandwidth and computer resources at the machine where your Asterisk runs, unless your VOIP-provider, or you for that matter, limit the number of calls in some way (by configuring the PBX at either end of the trunk), that are allowed to go through it.

  • Djupare in i bloggandets värld, motstretandes, men hyfsat fascinerad

    Sådär.. första steget i ett litet optimeringsexperiment, då får vi se om det ger något resultat i form av någon mer besökare kanske. Prövar bland annat att pinga (denna gång menas blog-ping, inte ICMP) http://www.frisim.com/ automatiskt från WordPress vid postande. Detta är väl mest ett test, alternativt en liten rant. Bland all skit som skrivs av idioter, har jag hittat en site som verkar veta vad den (hon) talar om, därifrån har jag inspirerats lite. Jag har också de senaste dagarna uppdaterat andra siter, och fått lite idéer på nya projekt, istället för att göra det jag borde, d v s labba med QoS, men det hinns väl med.. hoppas jag. Gjorde också en liten banner (se ovan, högst upp) tidigare, hoppas detta temat och den, ser okej ut.

  • Four years after The Pirate Bay raid

    Apparently, yesterday it was exactly four years since (the) The Pirate Bay raid. Time really flies.. I remember it well. I think I probably still have the police lists of the confiscated computers in some dusty directory, they leaked, or was made available some time after, if I recall correctly that is.. (A few minutes later:) But I couldn’t find them now when looking, oh well.

    After the raid it became clear that the US had threatened to put Sweden on the WTO’s black list if they refused to deal with the Pirate Bay problem. Even the MPAA was involved, with John Malcolm, Executive Vice President of the MPAA writing a letter to Sweden’s State Secretary in which he stated, “It is certainly not in Sweden’s best interests to earn a reputation among other nations and trading partners as a place where utter lawlessness with respect to intellectual property rights is tolerated.”
