  • Civilization IV: Colonization vs Mac OS X Yosemite

    In short, Colonizations has dependencies on Python 2.3 (or maybe 2.5, or both, nobody seems quite sure at the moment and both seems to be needed for all Civ IV games/mods to play nicely).

The foremost was that the controller didn’t start. After having a look at the unifi logs (/var/log/unifi/server.log on Ubuntu 12.04) I found out that it tried…

  • Unbound i Halon Security Router

    Eftersom jag är som jag är sÃ¥ ville jag köra Unbound pÃ¥ min installation av Halon Security Router. Det visade sig lite smÃ¥meckigt eftersom systemet startas upp rent frÃ¥n alla tidigare förändringar (gillar säkerheten), men det finns stöd för att fÃ¥ in vissa typer av förändringar ändÃ¥. Det har jag självklart exploitat för att fÃ¥…
