Distributed Internet Backup System works by doing all its communication through email. The benefit of using email for transport is that clients behind firewalls or with intermittent connections to the Internet can use DIBS reliably.
Since disk drives are cheap, backup should be cheap too. Of course it does not help to mirror your data by adding more disks to your own computer because a virus, fire, flood, robbery, power surge, etc. could still wipe out your local data center.
Instead, you should give your files to peers (and in return store their files) so that if a catastrophe strikes your area, you can recover data from surviving peers. The Distributed Internet Backup System (DIBS) is designed to implement this vision.
Note that DIBS is a backup system not a file sharing system like Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa, etc. In fact, DIBS encrypts all data transmissions so that the peers you trade files with can not access your data.
Enhancements:
- Added Peer Finder service to allow advertising and automated exchange of peering information. See manual for details.
- Updated add_peer and edit_peer commands to allow sizes to be specified using k, m, g, t (e.g., 10k, 10m, 10g, 10t).
- Updated the protocol DIBS uses to exchange store, unstore, probe, and other messages between peers. The new protocol is XML based to allow easier debugging, parsing, and extensions.
- Fixed a deadlock bug reported by Jason Martin in a message to the dibs-discussion mailing list.
- Made the daemon run its periodic checks like spawnning auto_check, process_message, etc., as soon as it starts up.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements

ALTSE is an alternative search engine technology.

It can index up to a couple million Web sites.

A search engine is a program designed to help find information stored on a computer system such as the World Wide Web, or a personal computer.

The search engine allows one to ask for content meeting specific criteria (typically those containing a given word or phrase) and retrieves a list of references that match those criteria.

Search engines use regularly updated indexes to operate quickly and efficiently. Without further qualification, search engine usually refers to a Web search engine, which searches for information on the public Web.

Other kinds of search engine are enterprise search engines, which search on intranets and personal search engines, which search individual personal computers.

Some search engines also mine data available in newsgroups, large databases, or open directories like DMOZ.org. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically.

Most web sites which call themselves search engines, are actually front ends to other search engines owned by other companies. The typical user will often not know which underlying search engine they are using.

SeaMonkey projetc is a web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite".

Whereas the main focus of the Mozilla Foundation is on Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, our group of dedicated volunteers works to ensure that you can have "everything but the kitchen sink" — and have it stable enough for corporate use.

OpenCAP is a server for Internet calendaring by following the specifications of the IETF (RFC CAP 4324).

Cap4j is the RFC 4234 CAP implementation. OpenCap project is the implementation of Cap4j calendar store.

Why another calendaring project ?

Ideally, Internet Calendaring should allow every Internet user to schedule meeting with each-other like they send mails. Unfortunately, Internet Calendaring suffers from a lack of interoperability. Thats why its so important to follow such standards.

Internet Relay Jabber (or IRJ) is a Jabber client for IRC. Its useful if you like IRC, but your friends use another IM service. Through Jabber, IRJ supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ, etc. It is written in Perl and uses Net::Jabber and Net::IRC.

Just to clear up any confusion, this isnt a transport or a gateway between Jabber and IRC (ie, a server component for many users). Is a program for connecting to IRC and Jabber simulataneosly. It then acts as an IRC bot to relay conversations in IRC to Jabber. It is meant for one user per IRJ process and pretty much requires a dedicated IRC channel. It also works best if you have access to a shell sever of some kind (so IRJ can always be running in the background) and use an IRC server with NickServ and ChanServ so you can restrict access to your IRJ channel.

That said, I personally find it very useful (though I may be biased because its my creation) because Im usually on IRC and dont like to have a bunch of other instant messaging programs open as well as my IRC client.

Night Light IRC Proxy is a multi-user IRC (Internet Relay Chat) proxy written in C.
Night Light IRC Proxy (ircproxy) is a multi-user IRC (Internet Relay Chat) proxy written in C for UNIX compatible systems.

If you do not know what IRC is, then IRC proxy probably isnt for you.

This way you are protected behind the machine running the IRC proxy, connecting through a proxy will hide your machines IP-address from other users on IRC.A IRC proxy is a program which works like a server, you connect to it with your IRC client and it connects you to the chosen server.

More simply explained, the IRC proxy will forward data sent by the IRC server to one or more IRC clients connected to the ircproxy, and forward data sent by the IRC clients to the IRC server.

The IRC proxy can also keep your connection to IRC alive even when you disconnect from the IRC proxy.

This IRC proxy is very flexible, it allows to configure multiple ports for listening, access by hostname or IP-address, multiple users and multiple connections and a optional ident server.

This is all done through the following configuration files:

A listen configuration file (listen.conf) where you specify what hosts and ports users can connect to.
A access configuration file (access.conf), where you specify which IP-addresses or hostnames users can connect to the ircproxy from.
A optional user configuration file (user.conf) (with optional encrypted passwords), where you specify usernames/password allowed that IRC clients must send to get access.
A connection configuration file (conn.conf) where the actual IRC connections to IRC servers is specified, each connection is owned by a specific user defined in user.conf.

The ircproxy can compile and run successfully on most UNIX systems. It has been successfully compiled and installed on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris, OSF1, HP-UX, AIX and Windows (Cygwin).

What exactly can ircproxy do?



Share your internet connection.

If you dont have direct access to the internet but another machine (router or server) on the network has internet access. You can share the internet connection using a this ircproxy for IRC access. Even your already using NAT, SOCKS or a forwarding proxy, ircproxy is probably preffered because it will allow you to have ident on IRC, and different ident can be replied for different users.


Get your own hostname from a shell ISP or hide your host behind a server.

If your internet service provider does not allow you to have a static IP with your own hostname, or you simply want to hide your real host. You can buy shell access from a ISP and eventually buy your own IP-address from the ISP to use with ircproxy.


Keep your IRC connection alive even when you disconnect with your IRC client.

If you have a dial up connection but want your client connected to IRC 24/7, you can install ircproxy on a server. This ircproxy will keep the IRC connection alive after you disconnect from the ircproxy with your IRC client.


Restrict data sent to the IRC server to prevent flooding the IRC server.

Solve problems getting disconnected with "Excess Flood", possible cause for this is that someone is flooding you with CTCPs or similar. This ircproxy will restrict you from sending data faster to the IRC server then the IRC server will allow. It will simply queue the data you send and keep it until the IRC server is ready to take more data without disconnecting you. However the queue is also restricted, there is a max sendQ, if it is reached your IRC client will be disconnected but the connection to the IRC server still stay alive.


One connection to IRC from more then one machine at the same time.

With ircproxy you can be connected to IRC from two or more machines at the same time without more then one connection to the IRC server. This ircproxy will allow you to resume a IRC server connection from more then one machine at the same time.

When you connect to the ircproxy with your IRC client, your host is first checked against the access configuration to see whether it can allow access from your host.

If access is denied by the access configuration rules, your IRC client will be disconnected with a message. Otherwise, your IRC client must send a "PASS", "USER" and "NICK" command to the ircproxy, once that is received, the username sent in "USER" and the password sent in "PASS" will be matched against usernames/password on the system (or user.conf), if it matches, the IRC client will be grated access.

Once your IRC client is connected to the ircproxy, you may select which connection to resume, as a user can have several IRC server connections defined in the connection configuration file. However users can only connect to the IRC servers defined in the connection configuration file, which give you more control. Connections stay alive independent of users, which mean that if a user disconnect from the proxy, the connection will still stay alive.

Several users can connect to the proxy with same username and resume the same IRC server connection. This feature is useful if you want to connect to IRC both from home and work at the same time without cloning.

A server administrator for a UNIX machine can install the ircproxy with the root option so that usernames and passwords are read from the system, instead of using a seperate configuration file for usernames and passwords. This way all users that have access to the system automatically have access to ircproxy.

With the root option and ident installed, the ircproxy can set correct ident for each connection. It can also save each users log files in their respective home directory.

The root option does not make the ircproxy run as root, it will immediately drop root privilege to the UID you set in make config and only switch back to do small operations such as setting correct ident for a connection.

Dynacc aims to be a Pakage which gives you control other your Internet Connection. It runs a linux router/host which provides MASQ services and HTTP proxying for a LAN. It gives you the Power to define users/groups which are allowed to make internet connections. Dynacc makes Firewall/MASQ ACCEPT rules for them, and tells Squid to do HTTP-caching for them.
The Pakage switches the connection on when the first user logged in and turns it off when the last logged out!
Dynacc comes with a fast SQUID-redirector plugin which offers firewall authentication and fast redirect routines. As a PLUS it removes this borring Advertisement-Banners!
Scripts to add/delete or calculate Onlinetime for one user or a bunch users the same time come also with this pakage.
The Pakage is made for use at Schools, firms, Internetcafes or your home.
Enhancements:
- ipchains
- any webserver able to do cgi/1.0
- Only supports SuSE firewall Scripts, yet!Contribute!
