Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. 10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. Today marks the 10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. Treat some lonely, unforgiven and/or unloved sysadmin with a gift and/or note of appreciation today and show how much you appreciate the hard work and effort that they do (myself included). They are usually the same people that make your internets work! So show us some love. Please. Or so it would seem)! If I can't get the audio issue ...

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. Xbox 1 savegames on XBOX 360. Since discovered that Burnout 3 and other Xbox 1 titles are now available through XBOX Live! Games on demand, I decided to do away with disc swapping and focus my attention on purchasing games for XBOX360 and Xbox Originals online through Live! Then it dawned on me. What about all the long and painful hours I dedicated to all those Xbox 1 Originals? The short answer (more or less from Microsoft) is: No. I then repeated th...

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. Been able to purchase a neo freerunner. Due to the current market, the Australian dollar is really low compared to the US Dollar ( 1 USD = 1.62063 AUD. But I needed a phone real bad and I really, really really wanted this one because of it 99% open (as in open source) nature. I'm preparing for the arrival of it by purchasing a 16Gb microSDHC card (as well as the fact that I have dfu-util installed from a gentoo overlay from some time ago).

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. Article I was able to transform my crappy dg632. Router into a dumb modem so that I could get better control (including better security) on my internet link. The only problems I encountered was that I found it difficult to set the router into bridged mode, but finally found the answer here. The documentation on the gentoo wiki differed slightly too, in that the iptables exported variable for the WAN interface should be ppp0. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. I have confirmed that I can get the Raspberry Pi to connect to the ISP using PPPoE through a VLAN, however, I cannot (or rather my brain cannot) get the OpenWrt to accept traffic other then ICMP to/from the device itself (I probably need to understand iptables or I am overlooking something very simple). For now, I'm going to go watch something and try again later (including looking for the SD card). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). PC and Video Games Stuff.

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. KDE4 finally hit stable in gentoo's portage! As of about a month ago :P). I had to wait a few weeks so that package blocks got sorted out in portage (well, at least now there is only 2 rather than the 4 from last week), which just goes to show that immediately trying to update to anything isn't always a good idea!

Draino's Networking and Tech: mirgating to libata
http://deantech.blogspot.com/2011/03/mirgating-to-libata.html
Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. Since IDE/MFM/RLL is now depreciated, I thought I'd share my experiences of migrating to the newer libsata (SATA prod) drivers in 2.6 kernel. The whole thing almost went perfectly as planned (and as documented), except for the following minor irritations:. Forgot to change the real root option in grub.conf from /dev/hda3 to /dev/sda3 :-P. Udev was naming my cdrom to cdrw1/cdrom1. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). PC and Video Games Stuff.

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. I acquired two more 1Tb HDD's effectively making my current total storage space about 4Tb. I want to software raid my 1Tb disks, but I need a silent UPS before I can (this system sits in my room, so I don't it waking me or anyone else if the power drops during the night), so my server is going to have to stay JBOD for now *sigh*. I need to make some hard decisions here. Be afraid. Be VERY. Thanks to Senator Conroy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. Google Plus killed the technology blog. This may be the final entry in this and my other blogs. I managed to painstakingly avoid using Facebook for many years, and instead waited patiently for Google to create it's social networking site, Google Plus (If you have never heard of Google , I strongly urge you to go back to the rock you have so obviously been living under and/or go read some other non-technical site).

Draino's Networking and Tech. A techno-geek's no how. Vim gnupg = password manager. After finding that there are very little native password managers for linux, I decided to see if I could find a way to open my encrypted password file using a console-based editor without putting any plain text onto the disk at all (ie. transparent editing of gnupg encrypted files). I stumbled onto the vim website (by way a Google search) and found a nice little script. Plugin) that does all this for me! The stupid thing ...
