Howto fix the “edit home screen” loop for iPhone
jhm – Sun, 2008 – 06 – 01 08:46

Everybody loves the idea to be able to login to the iPhone via ssh and marvel at the fact that this exquisite piece of HW is actually running UNIX (well, a stripped down version of Mac OS X, anyways). It soon dawns that EVERY iPhone has the same root password installed - which is not real security threat considering the fact that ssh as means to login is not supposed to be running anyways. Once you jailbreak your device, you are able to login, but so is everybody else.

Now, when you put on your sysadmin hat and go an change the root password on any of the mobile Mac OS Xes, you'll get a nasty surprise.

Thanks to Paul I got spared a lot of time trying to figure this out for myself. I have the same setup (mini with front row as media center) and even use a NAS to store everything, but could never figure out how to add it to the remote iTunes

How to Copy and Paste text to and from an rxvt terminal
jhm – Tue, 2007 – 12 – 04 10:50


Text which has been copied to the clipboard via Ctrl-c (or cut with Ctrl-x) can be pasted directly into an rxvt terminal by positioning the cursor in the rxvt terminal where you want the text inserted and holding the shift key while clicking the left mouse button.


To copy text from an rxvt terminal simply drag the cursor over the region of text you want to select with the mouse while holding the left button down. Selected text will be highlighted and available in the clipboard for pasting into other applications via Ctrl-v. Double-clicking on a word will select the entire word. Clicking three times will selected an entire line. To select a range of words you can double click on the first word, then set the mouse cursor to the right of the last word or letter you want copied, and right-click.
