Come digitare i caratteri tilde (~) e backtick (`) su una tastiera italiana con Windows 10

Inserire o scrivere caratteri come tilde (~) e backtick (`) con Windows non è immediato data la loro assenza nel layout della tastiera italiana.

È comunque possibile utilizzare questi caratteri sia sfruttando una combinazione di tasti fornita da Windows (vedi Soluzione Windows) sia creando una combinazione di tasti personalizzata (vedi Soluzione Personalizzata).
Entrambe le soluzioni non richiedono di cambiare il layout predefinito della tastiera o le impostazioni di input di Windows 10.

Soluzione Windows

Questa soluzione consiste nel digitare un codice sul tastierino numerico mentre viene tenuto premuto il tasto Alt.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

This is a quick set-up guide on how to install Icecast for Mp3 and Ogg streaming, sort of online radio. Tested on Debian Wheezy. Probably works on Ubuntu, etc. Icecast is a "server-like". It offers the HTTP URL/port through which end-users can play the media. However, Icecast itself does not serve the files. It must get its input from other "client-like" software. For example, Ices0 sends mp3 input to Icecast and then Icecast delivers to the end user. Similarly, Ices2 sends ogg input to Icecast and then Icecast delivers to the end user.

Set up icecast

Start by installing:

sudo apt-get install icecast2

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
H: preserves hard-links
A: preserves ACLs
