Submission + - For just one day, the web is only for linux (linuxday.info)

hombrelobo writes: "I have so much to thank linux for. So I decided to thank it by declaring June 1st the Linux Day , a day when to read a blog you will need to access it with a linux PC, or you will get a message asking you to try Ubuntu, Suse or any other linux flavor.

I am working on the code (first draft here )

The idea is to block my blogs to anybody NOT using linux, for one day. If we attract enough blogs, maybe some people will be tempted to actually use linux. If only for that one day at least ...."

Submission + - How to access Hulu from outside the US ?

hombrelobo writes: "What is the best way to access Hulu from outside the USA ?

I have tried several public proxies ... they simply don't work. I guess a good way would be a SSH tunnel via a server in the US, but I do not have access to it right now.

I also tried to set-up one SSH tunnel via a temporary server in Amazon EC2 (too complicated).

Any suggestions ?"

Submission + - People watching, colaborative video maps (hombrelobo.com)

hombrelobo writes: "The idea is simple: place a video camera and record a 3 minutes video of people passing by in front of the camera.

I already had videos in Buenos Aires, Houston, Dubai, Helsinki, Seoul and Copenhagen, so I put all of them together in a Google Map that anybody can edit to add their own videos, until we get a map or the whole world.

You can see the map with the videos here: http://hombrelobo.com/mapas/people-watching-viendo-gente-pasar/"

Software

Submission + - Remote virtualization ?

eporue writes: "I've been trying some virtualization software like VirtualBox and VMware to emulate other OS. And they work reasonably well.
But can we do something similar with a remote computer ? Can we "emulate" it ? The idea is having a window with Linux, another with a remote PC running windows, and being able to transfer files among them.
Is it possible ?"
