The ability to build a simple shippable binary is one of the biggest things I love about developing for MacOS. It might just have become possible to actually ship binaries for linux as well.

Google desktop for linux!

oooh, shiny python/linux presentation software for linux. Display only - no authoring, but I can cope.

Server-based music-playing daemon. Oh, if only this had existed 5 years ago when I actually had a computer in the lounge with all the music on. Bookmarked now in case I ever do again.

It’s a linux daap server. The most interesting thing about it is that it’ll use Beagle to find all the music on the local machine and serve it, without having to explicitly tell it what to serve.

Edd on using LDAP everywhere

Firstly, tell your local terminal application that you want a utf-8 window. This is left to you, but under macos (which I use), right click the window, select ‘Window settings’, pick the ‘Display’ option from the drop-down, and pick utf-8 under ‘Character set encoding’.

Next, when you start the screen session, pass the ‘-U’ flag. This has to be passed to a new screen session - you can’t connect to an existing one this way.

screen -U

Alternatively, you can turn on the utf-8 flag for a single existing screen window by typing your hotkey (ctrl-a by default), then ‘:utf8 on’. This is good if you don’t want all of your windows to be utf now.

On the remote machine, make sure that the ‘LANG‘ environment variable is set to something UTF-8 like, for instance, I use

export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

in my .bashrc.

Finally, you need to tell irssi to use UTF-8. Start it up in your new utf-8 window, and type

/set term_type utf-8

Hopefully everything should work now.
