The Lab

Indian people, we are proud of our cheapness. You are never gonna insult us by calling us cheap. That’s the best part, you know. You walk up to an Indian guy:
- You guys are cheap.
- Thank you for noticing, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
- That guy just called you cheap.
- No, no, no. He pronounced it cheap. But what he was saying was – smart. Very smart he was.

This blog is hosted freely ^^. Alwaysdata offers a free plan pf 10mb (duh). I think its French… anyway, I found it while looking for a host with python environment, and on Django’s site they were listing such sites, both free and paying. The fun part is the shell through ssh access it’s very nice to test out some stuff ^^

My other website, Yann’s junkyard is hosted at Byethost, with free domain name provided by co.cc (I had learned of the domain name through sachindb‘s article). The CMS I’m using over there is Symphony, which makes use of XSLT. Byethost is one of the (few) free hosts providing php’s libxslt. No candy ssh though, plain ol’ftp, and it’s rather slow

If you are interested in having a shell online, head over to sdf lonestar : ssh access, apache server, irc. To “unlock” more privileges (e.g mysql db raaaah)  you have to make donations though -_-”. Still, nice… I’ve put my resume and some images over there.

How about a free VPN? try s6n ! I had started using that back in Reunion Island, not just because of Hadopi, but also because the proxy on the cité universitaire was being a real pissant, blocking port 22, and I needed to access servers for work. Bref ! You’ll need a VPN client, like TunnelBlick for Mac. Linux users, google is your friend ^^.  An interesting “side effect” is the possibility to join and use Spotify (stream music, huuuuuge catalogue, top quality) for free (restricted to Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France or Spain) as the OpenVPN server you’ll be given access to upon registration is in France ^^.  Sign up to spotify here.

Kudos to lynx who found s6n, and introduced me to Spotify!
