I am busy moving away from my VeraEdge installation to a Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4. This is because it looks like the maker of the VeraEdge was bought and it is slowly being phased out.
For this I am using the following parts:
As part of my small project of movng my Z-Wave Hub to a Raspberry PI, I got an X728 kit. This has:
The case has holes for wall-mounting.
The Geekworm X728 kit is …
Currently I am using docker containers to deploy applications. A number of those containers make use of supervisord for managing processes. While supervisord itself comes with a UI, it is unhandy for me because each container is its own supervisord instance.
So I was interested in some software that would …
This recipe is for setting virtualization on a voidlinux desktop.
Use this setup script to set things up on void linux.
Note that virsh and virt-manager commands connect to different libvirtd
sessions by defauult.
virsh defaults to qemu:///session while virt-manager to qemu:///system.
It is better …
I made the switch to void linux. Except for compatibility
issues around glibc, it works quite well. Most compatibility
I have worked around with a combination of Flatpaks, chroots and
namespaces.
The high lights of void linux:
systemd …keyboard
good keyboard bindings

/* Change these lines to set key bindings for VOL_UP and VOL_DN */

The TL-WR702N Nano Router is a neat device but being closed, can not be customized to what I …
Last weekend I had a small weekend project to move my All-In-One Printer/Scanner from my Xen host server to a spare NAS200 I had lying around. Since the NAS200 has a i486 compatible CPU, and I had been able to run a CentOS 5 distro before, I figure it …
As usual with any IT system backups are important. This does not change when using a free shared hosting provider. Because it is free, one would argue it is even more important.
For my wordpress web site I used something called cli-exporter. It let's you create "Wordpress" export files from …
So last weekend finally had some time to work with a Askozia Desktop Appliance.
It actually arrived much earlier but without a Power Supply. Initially I though, "this is strange; I didn't know this supported PoE". (Power Over Ethernet). It turns out it didn't and there was a shipping mistake …
