Usenet, de toekomst zonder FTD

Rss feed for topic Other NewsOther News - Posted by: christian On 16-02-2011 @ 11:14

Nadat de usenet community FTD vorige week woensdag de rechtszaak tegen BREIN verloor hadden ze de keus om door te gaan en alle verwijzingen te filteren of ermee te stoppen. Gister, dinsdag 15 Februari 2011, is er dus aangekondigd dat FTD per 1 maart 2011 op zwart gaat.

Nu rijst de vraag op: wat nu? Wat zijn de alternatieve voor het vinden van informatie over te downloaden binaries vanuit usenet?

Er werden meerdere forums en programma's genoemd. Hiervan zijn gister later op de dag de meeste ook offline gegaan(waaronder TwilightNZB, Dutch Binaries Program, NZBKingdom, FTAClub en ShrekNZB). Dit alles  na sommaties van brein.

Nu zijn er dus een aantal mogelijkheden om alsnog van usenet te downloaden. Natuurlijk het ouderwetse headers ophalen van de nieuws server en hier gewoon zelf tussen gaan zoeken naar interessante downloads. Dit is natuurlijk niet zo handig als dat het was om via FTD te zoeken. Tevens is er haast geen informatie aanwezig, met een beetje geluk is er een .nfo bestand aanwezig maar zelfs dit is niet altijd het geval. Dit geeft dus wel aan waarom communities als FTD z'n succes zijn geworden.

Maar er is een alternatief. Dit alternatief met de naam spotnet werkt voor de eind gebruiker precies hetzelfde als FTD met het essentiële verschil dat spotnet zijn database niet centraal opslaat zoals FTD dit deed maar decentraal op usenet zelf(om deze reden dus ook dat er een usenet account nodig is voor het gebruik van het programma). Dit geeft dus als voordeel dat het niet zoals nu bij FTD kan zijn dat de centrale opslag down gaat en hierdoor het hele programma niet meer bruikbaar is.

Spotnet importeert tevens de spots van FTD waardoor het een erg grote database is. Dit blijft spotnet ook doen tot FTD ermee stopt op 1 maart. Hierna zal het moeten leven van de spots die bij spotnet zelf aangemeld worden.

Dan als laatste het downloaden van Films en muziek uit nieuwsgroepen is niet illegaal in Nederland het verspreiden hiervan(uploaden naar nieuws server) overigens wel. Voor Software geld dat het verspreiden en het downloaden hiervan illegaal is volgends de Nederlandse wet. Ik probeer dan ook niet aan te zetten tot het downloaden van illegale content, maar alleen een alternatief voor een mooie database met informatie van spots op usenet aan te geven.

New Christian's Rom 6.100

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 03-01-2011 @ 19:33

New rom release, 6.100 based on COM3 23152

This could be one of the latest rom form my side for the x1. Since last week I got a new phone: HTC Desire Z(Android phone).

This rom is the rom I've been using for the last 2 weeks and it was really stable for me. Maybe there will be some more updates for my x1 rom but not as frequently as now.

Here is the changelog for this 6.100 rom:

- new sys: 23152(Branche: COM3)(Timebomb fix not needed):
- Pocketwit updated to v85
Note: This rom was quite stable for me. I now have a new phone so the activity for the x1 rom updates will be very low. Atleast here is a good rom for a while.

 

Don't get me wrong, this isn't the end of my x1 rom but it will just become a bit a side project.

Thanks everyone for the support, donations and testing for the rom! I hope this new rom release will make you all happy!

New Christian's Rom 5.910

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 21-11-2010 @ 22:39 - Updated on: 21-11-2010 @ 23:41

New Christian's Rom is online: 5.910

Here's a new rom. This time a full and clean release at the same time.

Unlike the latest rom, this one is very stable again. I think the crash problem was with the threaded email port.

A complete changelog can be found below:

- new sys: 23148(Branche: COM3)(Timebomb fix not needed):
- PockeTwit v83 added
- Pagepool back to 16mb
- Sense removed(faster rom)
- Threaded email removed(this was the reason of the many crashes)
- Icalparse updated to 2.0.2
- ActiveGcSync v2.05 added(to sync google calendar without using active sync)

I also removed the complete sense panel and packages since I personally never used it and from the other side it gives us much more free space and makes the rom faster.

 

Have fun with the new rom!

VoiceCommand Fix for 5.723

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 14-08-2010 @ 10:50

Voicecommand isn't working and here's a fix.

Voicecommand is only available in WWE roms. If you're using the latest Full or Clean WWE rom the voicecommand isn't working. This is because of missing Language files. The included cab with this post should fix this. I haven't test it, since I don't have a WWE rom on my phone at the moment. So feedback is appreciated.

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 07-07-2010 @ 13:56 - Updated on: 07-07-2010 @ 15:04

New rom based on 23670 from the LG Electronics Branch

In this rom the reply to an sms is working fine. It was something that was wrong in the latest rom sys(and still is in newer versions of that branche). So I searched for another new branche/sys and found out the LG Electronics Branch is really goodSmile

I also removed ameba since it gave more problems then it solved. Hope you can life with that decision and in case you can't you have to install it yourselfWink

Here's the changelog:

- new sys: 23670(Branche: LG Electronics Branch)(Timebomb fix not needed): sms is working fine again
- Ameba removed

 Package list of all packages included in the rom has also been updated. Check out here

Ooh and a quick note: HOLLAND IS GOING TO THE WORLD CUP FINALS!Laughing HELL YEA!

Testing New Rom Based On 24619

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 01-07-2010 @ 12:02 - Updated on: 01-07-2010 @ 13:28

I'm testing a new rom based on 24619.

After using the 23569 sys for about 1.5 month it began to crash. Since there wasn't a new windows mobile 6.5.5(COM5) sys around I start looking at the other leaks. The 24619 is a windows mobile 6.3.7 sys and is dated 17 june 2010.

I created a new rom with that sys and some other changes yesterday night and it seems to work really smooth.

Also the pagepool has been changed to 24mb in my rom.

I will test this rom for the upcoming days/week and if it's working fine and good enough to release I will release it to the public. So stay tuned!
