  • Hint of the day: @digitalocean and not mounting sshfs at boot

    In /etc/fstab, be sure to add the option: _netdev As it will attempt to start the network mounted sshfs before networking has been started. The entire line looks like this: user@host:/some/dir /local/path fuse.sshfs defaults,idmap=user,_netdev  0 0 From the man pages: _netdev The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the…

  • GCHQ hacks Belgacom

    And thus, we can assume, they had (have?) access to a lot of European instances and personnel, both residing here in Belgium and roaming using BGC’s network. And not a single fuck was giving. Not one. Please remain calm and keep on hypnotoad. If GCHQ was indeed the agency concerned then this investigation is unlikely…

  • Raspberry Pi + ad blocking + nginx

    There’s this howto that explains how to set up the RPi as ad blocker. I’ve two RPi’s acting a router and was already running dnsmasq. I decided to give it a try. Note that this howto can actually be used on any DNS serving Linux server. First of all, don’t go with the pixelserv as…

  • 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.

  • 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…
