His portfolio reflects years consumed with trekking the globe, but photographer Jauder Ho only rediscovered his love for the art several years ago. Taking advantage of an opportunity for a vacation for the first time in over a decade, Jauder Ho ended up taking a trip to Japan including a trek up Mount Fuji. That followed by the road trip of a lifetime driving across the States had a profound effect on how he perceives the world. Since then, Jauder Ho has seen the world shot by shot, each one serving as a reminder of changing moments in time. In his portfolio, Jauder Ho juxtaposes long exposure shots of beautiful scenery with pictures focused on details that explain more to the story. Jauder Ho strives to take portraits that describe the feelings of his subjects and reflect his ability to arouse emotions from the viewer. Combining skills acquired from continual photography with what it takes to see life on stills, Jauder Ho has created a body of work that reflects the world both great and small. Here, Jauder Ho brings you selected content from his personal collection as well as sharing interesting items found from the Internet. Identica

Change TCP congestion control for Ubuntu 8.04

For some reason, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS uses ‘reno’ for TCP congestion control instead of ‘cubic’ even though upstream kernels have had cubic as the default for a while.

Until a new kernel package comes out to fix this, you need to load the module at boot time via /etc/modules or modprobe tcp_cubic for now.

Next, edit /etc/sysctl.conf and set net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control to cubic. Reload the parameters via “sysctl -p”
