Need to find a way to block/unblock File transfer from Skype possibly without restarting the Skype.
If the solutions is to block or filter the packets it is acceptable but need the how-to explanation.
unfortunately it will be necessary to quit Skype for turning File Transfer off or on. Details about how this can be done can be found here: http://slks.co.th/blog/?p=737
Check it out.

I'm trying to stream a microphone/audio to multiple clients.
the broadcaster is a screenless raspberry, so I can't open a Webbrowser and click on "share mircophone"
The clients will be using their smartphone to listen.
the latency must be super low.
I did not find any WebRTC Demo that worked. All of them are either p2p or the scalable Broadcasting from muaz khan is only working for the initiator; not clients.
I came across Janus (which I didn't really understand what exactly this is doing) but I don't get how to install this and how to configure it.
Is there any way to easily share the microphone's output via WebRTC? Something like Apache hosting a simple website where the microphone audio is hosted on?
Thanks for all the ideas on how to solve it!

No. There's nothing easy or simple about WebRTC.

This is the simplest option... running a browser. Are you sure you need to actually allow it to access the audio device?
In the past, I've used a flag on Chromium to get around this problem. I don't remember exactly what that flag was, but looking at the list, it might have been...
--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream
You might also be able to use --enable-kiosk-mode.
At a minimum, if you were to open the browser interactively and enable access, that page would get automatic access in the future.

WebRTC is peer-to-peer, but remember that the "server" can be one of those "peers".
Finally, you can look into using GStreamer, but don't expect anything quick and easy. https://github.com/centricular/gstwebrtc-demos
When I go to https://dojotoolkit.org/, I get, "Unable to connect". In some browsers I get "You have reached a domain that is pending ICANN verification".
I've used a number of dojo libraries in my code. Does anyone know what happened to the owner and whether this is likely to be fixed in the near future?
If it isn't fixed, what is my best option for replacing it?
This seems to be a temporary administrative DNS issue, based on their Twitter response:
We apologize for the issues accessing the Dojo 1 web site. We’re
working on it as fast as possible. In the mean time, you can add the
IP address directly to /etc/hosts. 104.16.205.241
There are also some workarounds on the dojo gitter.im channel:
Reference guide content is also at https://github.com/dojo/docs/ And
tutorials are at
https://github.com/dojo/dojo-website/tree/master/src/documentation/tutorials
Also, as mentioned in this related question, you can use the Archive.org Wayback Machine.
The site now appears to be back up. I was able to access it and get information on features I'm using.
I have installed dropbox python client for linux and I noticed the sync bandwidth is quite limited:
$ dropbox status
Syncing (252,088 files remaining, 18 days left)
Downloading 252,088 files (35.1 KB/sec, 18 days left)
Is there a way to make it faster?
Note: Yes I have a 100Mbit/s internet connexion...
Firstly, check if there is a 75% cap enabled, as mentioned here
If there isn't then it's probably your Internet, try switching to a different network source (from wireless to wired) or use a different Internet connection. I had the same issue before and it was solved by changing to a different Internet connection, yes I have 100Mbit/s too but it didn't help.
Alternatively
If you already have another synced up dropbox, just copy the files over to the new install of Dropbox, if you're just trying to get the initial sync done.
Also take a look at LAN Sync, a feature in Dropbox
This honestly isn't a SO question because is isn't really a programming question, a forum like Superuser.com might be better suited perhaps.
edit: saw that you already have a superuser account, my bad. :)
Background: I've a sensor hooked up to an arduino printing readings through the serial monitor. I want to log these in firebase.
I've done a bit of digging on this, and my research has shown me that an arduino simply can't handle the SSL needed to talk to firebase properly.
Any suggestions for workarounds? Checking SO and google's only turned up "it can't be done", but I figured I'd ask anyway. Any lateral thinking is appreciated, thanks!
If you figure out a way, let us (support#firebase.com) know. That would be an awesome hack!
Some thoughts:
You might want to look into the Spark Core (available for pre-order). They mention SSL support, though it's unclear to me what that means exactly.
You could proxy the requests through a server that can speak SSL. For instance, you could run a tiny node.js service on an Amazon EC2 box that just proxies REST requests to Firebase (e.g. using http-proxy).
If you're hardcore, you could try to get the Arduino talking to an external ethernet controller that has built-in SSL support (e.g. this one), but that's probably a big project. :-)
Longer-term, we might expose a non-SSL endpoint for Firebase requests that's specifically for this sort of low-end hardware use-case. Ping us at support#firebase.com if you want to start a dialog.
Here's a php script I whipped together to solve for Arduino no https.
It's basically a form that GETs to the php script and then sends it off to your Firebase database.
http->php->Firebase

*Make sure you add Heroku or your server to the whitelist of IPs that can post to Firebase
I know its an old question but visitors from google keep coming.
Have a look at this post: http://www.devacron.com/arduino-firebase/
[EDITED]
These arduino libraries might help:
firebase-arduino
https://github.com/googlesamples/firebase-arduino
https://github.com/ed7coyne/firebase-arduino
To install it:
Download the zip file, go to Sketch>Manage Libraries>add .zip file
Now you have access to
#include <FirebaseArduino.h>
and can begin using it with
Firebase.begin("example.firebaseio.com", "token_or_secret");
Follow the example at https://github.com/ed7coyne/firebase-arduino/blob/master/examples/FirebaseDemo_ESP8266/FirebaseDemo_ESP8266.ino
Is there a simple way to do this without having to programme a complete application level firewall or using Windows firewall?
I found this very interesting: Winsock Injector
It disables the use of Windows Sockets (winsock) for selected processes.
Can such an injector be done in VB.NET and does it work for everything?
I tried the injector but it doesnt seem to work for certain applications
Thanks
You could probably use Code Access Security to prevent this. The implementations for each .NET Framework versions vary, but there should be a way similar to this.

Here is the help doc for the WebBrowserPermission attribute.

Based on your edits, the above won't work.
You want to block the COMPUTER's access to the internet, not the application you are writing.
The easiest brute force method to block internet access in this case would be to disable the Network Connection itself. For an example how to do this, see this question.
