Enjoy the Music.com Do It Yourself Record Cleaning Machine
6 weeks ago by rybesh
This is the description of a record cleaning machine I built. It uses an industrial wet vacuum cleaner with 1000W to suck the cleaning fluid from the record. The fluid is applied by swinging a tube over the record and pumping with a manual pump. The platter is rotated manually and a normal paint brush can be used to get the dirt out of the grooves. I use a professional brush from a Moth record cleaning machine. After that the sucking tube is swinged onto the record (please don't forget to glue the velvet onto the tube, or the first record you cleaned is cleaned to death) and the vacuum cleaner is switched on. One or two spins should be enough to suck all the fluid with the dirt away.

How to bypass firewalls or captive portals with dns2tcp | fosk.it! 2.0
january 2012 by rybesh
Classic wireless hot spots commonly allow two protocols: ICMP and DNS (UDP/53). ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used to report errors and warning to the client and DNS is mandatory to resolve hostnames. While ICMP can also be used as a transport protocol (see PTunnel), firewalls may block unusual ICMP packets (ex: suspicious big packets). On the other side, there are often less restriction regarding DNS traffic.

RabbitMQ, Celery and Django « Happy stream of thoughts
november 2010 by rybesh
RabbitMQ is an open source AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) implementation. Celery, originally built for use with Django, is now a general, distributed task queue system based on AMPQ server, multiprocessing Python module and a persistent or non-persistent storage backend. Combining these three solves the problem of building highly-available task queues.
