OneDrive on Linux, Revisited
You may recall that I managed to get OneDrive running on my main Pi with the goal of uninstalling the OneDrive client from the Windows machines and just running everything via a mapped drive to a SAMBA share.
This has been…mostly working.… Read the rest
Revisiting Plex and NFS
The Raspberry Pi 3B is just a bit too weak to provide quick transcoding of HD files. But it has been working great for photos, podcasts, and music. I have long wanted to get the Atomic Pi back in the mix.… Read the rest
Top Linux Distros at This Time

- I tried MX Linux, but it wants to run from a USB thumb drive, so…no.
- I’ve already detailed my not enjoyable experience with Manjaro.
- Elementary apparently wants money, so no. Yes, I am one of those Linux users.

I was feeling a little restless a few weekends back, and Fedora on my laptop was not exactly doing it for me, so I decided to try a new distro. Looking at what the cool kids are using, I grabbed Manjaro, which is Arch-based.… Read the rest

Everything is cranking right along with plenty of room to spare.
With the help of these links, I was able to get my DNS server settings pointing to OpenDNS, even in IPv6.… Read the rest
ยป Install Debian Squeeze/Wheezy on the Pogoplug E02 – Innovations by VinnyMac Productions
Thinking that a small Linux server might be a handy thing to have around. I’ve moved all of my data out to Bitcasa, so having 1TB of local storage is not as necessary as it used to be. In addition to just having a nifty toy to play with, I am thinking of actually using my Arduino and lashing it to the oil burner so that I can see how often it is used.… Read the rest
CCENT Exam Prep
This has been a long time in the works, but I just made a great break through.
I started cobbling together a study lab in the engineering lab room here at work. It is fairly well isolated from the rest of the world.… Read the rest
Rebuilding from backup
So, the hard drive in my server died. It is now known to me that this hard drive has massive issues across the board and it will be the last Seagate drive that I buy for a good long time. I had to rebuild my server the last time because a Seagate drive let go.… Read the rest
