  • Home made TimeMachine

    This. Used my Raspberry Pi, with an USB disk as TimeMachine. Another disk as NAS/storage. It’s just quite slow… Not sure whether it’s my WiFi or RPi that can’t keep up. But for now, it’s working.

  • Fuck you, internet.

    For a few years I ran my own public DNS server. I liked it, great experience, I could easily connect all my host to a central and fast DNS, I avoided all those nasty ISPs who filter their DNS, and it was fast (not Google fast, but fast — I actually think Google DNS didn’t…

  • OpenVPN: Can’t assign requested address

    For no clear reason, OpenVPN on Mac with Tunnelblick (any version, had this problem for a few years already) results in these kind of error messages (and refuses to connect): 2013-02-05 17:44:31 write UDPv4: Can’t assign requested address (code=49) 2013-02-05 17:44:33 write UDPv4: Can’t assign requested address (code=49) This seems to appear more often when…

  • Connect different LANs over openVPN

    I now own three Raspberry Pi’s. Using two of them (and my Guruplug as WiFi AP) I connected my new apartment with my old house (= parents) over VPN. This way I can access the printers/scanners and NAS at home. The 2 rPI’s are used as router (using a Macbook Air USB-to-Ethernet adapter as 2nd…

  • Gentoo & Samba hanging boot and refusing to start

    I recently took a server from for maintenance (PSU burned down) and quickly noticed it hung at boot (hangs at Samba starting). I went into interactive boot mode and skipped Samba. Thinking it was a networking issue (server has static IP & routing set up) which didn’t match my home network. Set up dhcp, changed…

  • FlatTurtle @ Atlantis

    We’re quite a while later, but this is what it’s starting to look like… Our 46″ Samsung screen with a Genesi’s Efika at our (temporary) o–f–f–f–i–c–e, next to L’Oreal in St. Agatha Berchem. Still lots and lots to do, but we’re slowly starting to deploy InfoScreens all over Brussels. Be sure to provide feedback and to…
