10.5: Re-enable remote X viewing in 10.5.5:

When you upgrade to OS X 10.5.5, remote X viewing (via X11) gets disabled. This is fine for most people, however for those of us who use remote apps, it’s a pain. The following defaults setting will take care of the issue. In Terminal, issue this command:
defaults write org.x.X11 nolisten_tcp 0

Capcha and GWT

Capcha and GWT:
benjo:

I have been struggling with getting recaptcha to work with GWT, and
finally succeeded. I thought I would share how I did this. The method I solved
this problem involves some JNSI, but also modifying some of that static content
in your .html file. It is inelegant, but I could not get a pure JNSI
implementation to work.

Safari 3.1: Neuer Tab statt neues Fenster

Safari 3.1: Neuer Tab statt neues Fenster:

Praktische versteckte Einstellung in Safari 3.1: Um Links, die ein neues Fenster öffnen wollen stattdessen in einem neuen Tab zu laden, reicht folgender Terminalbefehl:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

und ein anschließender Neustart von Safari. Dies lässt sich ebenso einfach wieder rückgängig machen, indem das ‘true’ am Ende des Befehls in ein ‘false’ geändert wird. (via naquah.net - Danke, Jonas!)

Bandwidth throttling in OS X

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:12:24 +0000

Example:
sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 15KByte/s
creates a pipe that only allows up to 15KB/s to go through.

Then:
sudo ipfw add 1 pipe 1 src-port 80
will attach that pipe to the outgoing traffic on port 80, effectively limiting the outgoing traffic of the web server.
sudo ipfw delete 1
will remove the pipe from the port.

Disable Spotlight

admin — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:02:46 +0000

I disabled Spotlight and its Metadata Framework in OS X 10.5 by moving two files to a safe location that they can be restored from if necessary. The files are:
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
