Wheezy Xen Dom0 & RAM
Note to self: <1Gb of RAM on a Dom0 Wheezy server causes kernel panics. Using 2Gb of RAM seems to do the trick.

Auto turn on a Linux Mac Mini after a power outage
Mainly a note for myself, in case I need it again in the future. And the original blog post is here. This will turn on a Mac Mini (at least PowerPC arch, not sure about Intel), running Linux, the moment it has power again. echo ‘server_mode=1’ > /proc/pmu/options Edit & Note: This option seems to be…

Yard Sale: Flat Panel Wall Bracket
Selling 15ish Flat Panel / Display wall mounts. These are cheap solutions for hanging displays in the office or at home. We do not use them anymore because our installation company prefers other solutions from Audipack (which are 10 to 15 times more expensive; but are easier and faster to install). Basically, it’s four screw…

For sale: two TP-Link WA7510N (5Ghz). These devices are about a year old, and served for about 10 months to provide internet from my apartment to a neighbouring building in Antwerp.

Yard Sale: Mac Mini (G4)
I’m selling a Mac Mini 1.5Ghz G4 (PowerPC) with 512Mb ram. It has a 80Gb disk in it (7200 rpm I believe, but not sure). It runs Linux like a charm, and is a perfect server (and WAY faster than a Raspberry Pi). I believe the latest version to run was Mac OS X Tiger (10.4).…

Yard Sale: GSM signal jammer
Giving away this Chinese GSM signal jammer. Bought it in Shenzhen (summer 2013). While it’s working, the range of this is only about 50cm (and not the advertised 5-10m). This jammer probably doesn’t give you any more cancer than staying next to a cell tower. Fun thing to play with, but I do not have…
