Leave a CommentMake Firefox Faster
Leave a CommentHere’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now! – Link

Mac OS X: VNC securely
I’ve 2 Apple product at home, eMac and portable Macbook, both running the latest Mac OS X 10 Tiger.
Steps
eMac (1) Host Setup VNC server = localhost
(2) Host SSH server
Macbook (3) connection to SSH server using VNC Viewer
eMac (1) open and install vine server
- 0, port 5900, set a password
- sharing tab, check allow only SSH connection
- startup server, to make sure it’ll startup after booting up.
Checked – setup a VNC server
Checked – sett SSH connection to use with VNC viewer
Macbook (2) install SSH tunnel manager and Chicken of VNC
- open SSH tunnel manager
- click configuration
insert name: Emac (connecting to eMac SSH server)
login: (user login name of emac)
Host: 192.168.1.x (eMac IP address)
port: 22 (connects to ssh server)
Local redirections
5900 localhost 5900
“Macbook user key in localhost and 5900 will direct to another eMac 5900″
open Chicken of VNC
Host: localhost
Display: 0 (eMac VNC server is “0″)
passwor: xxxx ( same password use by VNC server)
click connect button
Notes
local redirect means that it will forward the port open on your local machine (Macbook) to another open port on the server (eMac) via the SSH connection.
that’s why in VNC client, I can connect to host localhost but then it’s forward to the eMac from the SSH connection.
1. forward the local remote port
2. make sure that VNC sever is running on the eMac and it accepts local conncetion.
SSH tunnel software to connect to the eMac.
remote redirection is to establish the SSH connection on an open SSH server and redirect a local port to the remote port.
- will redirect a remote port -> loacl port
remote redirection will do the reverse, what happens is that when you connect to the SSH server, you ‘ll forward port 5900 from your local machine (which is your VNC) to port 5900 of your SSH server.
on the SSH server, if i connect to the port 5900, it’ll tunnel to your VNC.
local redirection
- will redirect a local port -> remote port
ssh -N -p 22 -c 3des username@yourIP -L 5901/localhost/5901
