iPad Pro USB-C Ethernet
I’ve had an iPad Pro with the new Magic Keyboard and one of the things I’ve been wondering… Say I am stuck in a datacenter and I need to ssh through wired networking to a server — sure I’ll definitely rather use my Mac laptop, but just in case… But would it actually work? The…

Synology “Operation Failed” manually updating package
Resilio Sync released an update last week and on Synology these package don’t auto update. Time to manually update the packages again. On my DS1515 (more RAM, more CPU) the manual update goes by fine (stop service, manual update, browse for file, upload, start service) but my DS216j, not so much. Attempting to upload the…

0x04
Almost 10 years after I registered 0x04.com, it’s time to part ways. Yesterday I finalised the sale of 0x04.com. My company in Singapore was called 0x04 pte. ltd. and to avoid any confusion I’ve renamed to su1 pte. ltd. su1 standing for Superuser.one. 🤷♂️

Anyhow I got myself a Novita air purifier ~2 years ago, and I stole received a Xiaomi purifier from Liyun. The Novita is pretty dumb…

Running WireGuard in a Docker container (RPi)
This follows the my two other posts about WireGuard. Most of this can be copied from the amd64 post — with a minor change for making it work on RPi4. This is the full git repo (including both rpi and amd64). The main difference is in the run.sh file. The installation is a bit different…

HSBC
This is a rant. I’ve dealt with quite a few (bad) banks over the course of my life across countries and businesses. And I think HSBC is one of the worst. For various reasons. But mostly for being stuck in another century. And you’d expect a tiny (Belgian) bank to be horrible. Not one of…

Resilio Sync on Synology stuck?
The Resilio Sync package that’s provided on a Synology NAS’ Packager Center is out of date (2.6.2) and has a bug that causes big files to fail to sync (and that causes a loop of endless retries). The solution is to manually update the package from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4. Find your NAS architecture and then…
