Put this in your Lyx preamble (document -> settings -> preamble):
\def\title#1{\gdef\@title{#1}\gdef\THETITLE{#1}}
\def\date#1{\gdef\@date{#1}\gdef\THEDATE{#1}}
\def\author#1{\gdef\@author{#1}\gdef\THEAUTHOR{#1}}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\newcommand{\helv}{%
\fontfamily{phv}\fontseries{b}\fontsize{10}{10}\selectfont}
\lhead{\helv \THETITLE - \THEDATE }
\rhead{\helv \THEAUTHOR}
\usepackage{lastpage}
\cfoot{\thepage\ / \pageref{LastPage}}
My tip: make a temporary directory for all kinds of random stuff. Downloads, quick notes et cetera. I use it a lot. By using a crontab like this, the old files (+5 days) are automatically deleted:
$ find /home/karlo/temp/ -type f -mtime +5 -delete && find /home/karlo/temp/ -empty -delete
Remove audacity (#yum remove audacity), install audacity-freeworld (#yum install audacity-freeworld ). That’s it. You might have to enable RPMFusion.
You now have a folder ‘DropboxSecure’, in which you can store your sensitive data. It will save this in ~/Dropbox/Secure/ .
You can unmount this via $ sudo umount /home/karlo/DropboxSecure #needs to be done using sudo. I guess this is a bug. After umounting, you will notice the directory DropboxSecure is still there, but empty.
Mount again by using step 3 and entering your password.
Paranoia settings:
Filesystem cipher: “ssl/aes”, version 3:0:2
Filename encoding: “nameio/block”, version 3:0:1
Key Size: 256 bits
Block Size: 1024 bytes, including 8 byte MAC header
Each file contains 8 byte header with unique IV data.
Filenames encoded using IV chaining mode.
File data IV is chained to filename IV.
File holes passed through to ciphertext.
Screenshot:
Redshift adjusts the color temperature according to the position of the sun. A different color temperature is set during night and daytime. During twilight and early morning, the color temperature transitions smoothly from night to daytime temperature to allow your eyes to slowly adapt. At night the color temperature should be set to match the lamps in your room. This is typically a low temperature at around 3000K-4000K (default is 3700K). During the day, the color temperature should match the light from outside, typically around 5500K-6500K (default is 5500K). The light has a higher temperature on an overcast day.
It works very good. I use it like this:
$ redshift -l 52.369:4.891 #amsterdam

Easier than my previous post, use this plugin for wordpress.
If you want to set up a simple pirate-bay mirror, download this script. This is the nph-tpb.cgi – file various sites talk about.
Setting up is easy. It is just a CGI script. So place it in your CHI-folder (or create one) and set the directory-settings so it will allow CGI scripts. Sample config is in the download.
I generated SSL certs using this guide. Then I set up dovecot and postfix. View my dovecot conf here and my psotfix main.cf here.
You can use this to configure your own working SSL mail. Remember to install: dovecot, dovecot-imap and postfix.
On your devices, use ports 143/993 (incomping) and 587 (outgoing).
Please note my main.cf file also includes config for mailman.
Getting this?
$ sudo service dovecot restart
* Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server dovecot
Error: mail_executable: Can’t use /usr/lib/dovecot/imap: No such file or directory
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
…fail!
install dovecot-imap 
You can now update via ‘update now’.
I used the following script to test brute-force protection:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
for( $i=0; $i<99; $i++ ){
echo “Will try [$i] now. \n”;
$mbox = imap_open(“{mail.mailserver.com:143/imap/novalidate-cert}INBOX”,”user_test_$i”,”foobar”,0,0);
}
?>
Edit: You will need php-cli and php-imap
Found this gem on an other blog:
Deprecated Linux networking commands and their replacements
I mostly use $ifconfig. Let’s try `$ ip a` from now on 
.
Recently I got the error:
GConf Error: Configuration server couldn’t be contacted: D-BUS error: Method ” GetDefaultDatabase” with signature “” on interface “org.gnome.GConf.Server” doesn’t exist.
I got this while trying to start Evolution (mail software).
Solution is simply rebooting. I forgot to reboot after my Fedora 15 to Fedora 16 upgrade
Getting this:
$ java drs.jar
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: drs/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: drs.jar

Could not find the main class: drs.jar. Program will exit.
Solution is:
$java -jar drs.jar
Clear the BASH history easily via:
$ >~/.bash_history
Remember to log out after doing this.
Today, ifconfig was not working for me. I think this happened after I installed X11 on my headless server.
$ ifconfig
bash: ifconfig: command not found
It turns out something removed /sbin from my $PATH. Read more about the $PATH here.
The ifconfig-command resides in /sbin:
$ whereis ifconfig
ifconfig: /sbin/ifconfig
The solution is to put something like this in your .bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:/sbin
export PATH
If you want to use `top` over SSH, use the -t option:
$ ssh -t servername top
This also works if you want to use `tail -f` over ssh:
$ ssh -t servername “tail -f”
My idea on this site is to put snippets of codes / solutions / things I discovered here. When people will google a sulution to their problem, I hope they find it here.
Or, if I search for the same problem again, I’ll find the answer here.
