Gumtree Perth Not working on Firefox [Solved]

I recently have been having trouble placing Ads on Perth Gumtree, it seems that the AdBlock Plus Subscription was causing blocking of the placement of a new ad.  Disabling the plugin allowed Ads to be placed however it was not the best method of dealing with it.

I decided to track the problem down using AdBlock Plus Diagnostics which proved useful.

Problem:  Placing a Ad on Gumtree was not working on Firefox while AdBlock Plus was enabled.

Installed AdBlock Plus Diagnostics to see what was being blocked.

Edited my AdBlock Plus subscription to disable kijiji from being blocked.

Placing a advert on Gumtree now works!

Thank you AdBlock.org for providing such a great program, saving everyone visual confusion and speeding up the net!

Protect your identy from hackers on your webcam laptop

My laptop (Acer 5742) has a built-in webcam, however unlike my last laptop there is no operation LED and way of knowing if it is on or not.  Just in case someone did get into my system from outside and manage to switch on the webcam, I have constructed a tertiary level of protection just by using a piece of black tape.

Get a length of tape 2 inches long, fold one third over itself, stick side to sticky side.  Then mount it on the laptops webcam.

If you ever need to use the webcam, just fold the cover back.

Pictures of a Projector Bulb about to die

This arc lamp has a cracked, cloudy appearance, it is caused by too often switching the lamp on and off too often without letting the unit cool down.  People think that it is important to use the lamp the least amount of hours -true, but this is the other extreme.

OpenShot, Video Editing for Ubuntu Linux

Currently Ubuntu comes with a simple video editor called PiTiVi, although it is stable and works, it lacks the ability to do anything decent.  For instance creating titles, fades, transitions...  I came across OpenShot this morning and it is truly awesome.
I has all the features PiTiVi has and much more, plus it can run natively on the Gnome desktop unlike Cinerella.

Wireshark No Interfaces, sudo permissions how to fix!

When I open Wireshark in Ubuntu, there are no interfaces.  That is because Wireshark needs to be run with sudo permissions to access the interfaces.  It is not a good idea to run Wireshark from sudo as there are 30K lines of code running with full admin permissions and it will warn you about it as well.

Below is the preferred way.

sudo su
groupadd wireshark
usermod -a -G wireshark stretch
newgrp wireshark
chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap

If setcap does not exist then:
sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin

check to see if sucessful
getcap /usr/bin/dumpcap
/usr/bin/dumpcap = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip

logout and log back in!
