I had this issue a few years ago with a cechL. When i tried to remove the ihs i made a scratch on the top of the cpu. So i had to buy a new ps3 on ebay: slim with a semi-broken bd drive.
Removing the IHS is a painfull experience...
I used astraweb in the past. For some reasons i stopped this provider and tried several others. Probably i changed because of DMCA takedown grewing up.
Now i'm using newsgroup ninja and i'm plenty satisfied. Never received an email from my isp too (i live in France).
This combined with a htpc...
Nobody uses Usenet instead of P2P to download ? This is a good alternative, the connections to the provider's servers are encrypted by ssl. Some offers includes VPN.
To check if sman.sprx was corrupted during/after the transfer on the ssd, you could try to transfer it back from your ps3 to your pc and check its md5 sum.
You could also check S.M.A.R.T datas of the ssd to see its reliability.
In last resort, you could try to format your sdd drive via the...

There was an issue with folders/files time attributes.
I made some debugging and i found that the values of st_atime, st_ctime and st_mtime are set to NTFS time.
NTFS time = "NTFS stores times in a sle64 as the number of 100ns intervals since January 1st...
Windows can mount all fat32,NTFS partitions it wants. Without nothing to do in the case of an external hdd with one NTFS and one fat32 partitions.
Like you said to each their own complexity :)
That is a great improvement in term of accessibility for devlopment.
What about bootstrap ? I feel comfortable with it but it needs jquery plugin. Is it too heavy for ps3 web-browser/memory ?
Since Deank set the fan to syscon mode after sMAN is unloaded, i am wondering if it could cause some YLOD. I always heard that a temperature superior to 70° C is too hot at long-term for both CPU and RSX. Syscon mode seems to be not enough agressive. What do you think about that guys ?
I re-downloaded webman 1.47n just to be sure. I also changed the theme to classic with classic background and rounded font then reboot the console. Still 1796KB with webman/slaunch/psnpatch loaded.
I'm using cfw rebug 4.81.2, this could explain this.
I've got 1988KB with both slaunch and webman. Down to 1796KB with psnpatch loaded. I don't know where the 80KB more you've got gone at my side. It is still a pretty good improvement :)
Thanks @kozarovv, i already google it :) and the name of the functions speaks for itself.
I looked deeper in cellsdk, and it seems that uid is set to "0" and gid to "-1"
In ps3_io.c Estwald wrote this code:
uid_t getuid(void) { return 0; }
gid_t getgid () { return -1; }
So i think that getuid...
