Bien identifier les publicités lors des recherches web
samedi 6 septembre 2014.
Je trouve que les publicités se repèrent de plus en plus difficilement dans les pages des moteurs de recherche.

If you run your own Sync server, and tried to synchronize your Firefox Mobile browser, you may have been blocked by the “Invalid server URL” message. Or, if you added your device using the easy method of typing three strings of four characters, then the synchronization is accepted, but nothing ever gets synchronized (silent failure).
If your configuration is anything like mine, it turns out that the problem is with the SSL ciphers being used: Firefox Mobile is using RC4-SHA.

Synchronize Firefox on your Weave Minimal server through Nginx
jeudi 31 octobre 2013.
A long time ago, I installed Weave Minimal on my Apache server, so that I could synchronize Firefox without having to rely on a third-party server.
This Weave server is now officially deprecated, but I still use it because it works, and it is really light-weight! Someone recognized this and is now proposing a new weave-minimal server; I did not try it, but if you have nothing installed yet, it may be a better choice.
In this blog post, I explain how to configure the Nginx web server for the old Weave Minimal.

This blog post is part of a small series, with the aim of configuring a bootable USB flash drive for portable use on any PC. The main target is a full portable Linux OS, but I will also address the Windows OS, for those times when you have no choice ;-)
This fourth part is about the portable Windows applications.
