Comment Absolutely (Score 1) 308

I think most of us have various setups at home for learning/experimenting, partly because its fun, partly because its a good way to get a better job and partly because our employer doesn't give us proper development environments!

Its been a long time since I've worked at a place that has a proper dev->staging->production setup.

I'm glad the op didn't use the term "lab" which always seems to be clueless people trying to get a CCNA, rather than people actually interested in their trade.

Comment Re:How close? Within WiFi range? (Score 1) 285

if its within wifi range should his house burns down, so will his backup box, and multi-terrabyte backup over wifi won't be fun.

realistically an esata enclosure stored a bit further away than a neighbour is the best way to go (maybe at work?) kept up to date with rsync (locally not over t'internet).

this question has been asked countless times before. search box is top left.

Comment Slowwwwwww (Score 1) 82

Silly DNS scripts seems like a bad way to achieve this, Privoxy would be better, and the Pi's ethernet-over-USB setup (and a USB wifi donlge) is going to make this pretty slow.

Why does this have to be a Pi-specific tutorial, you could do this better on pretty much any Linux box.

Comment SFO hostility (Score 2) 510

I've got to say SFO is consistently the most hostile airport I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of them.

But this just beggars belief and basically boils down to taxi drivers wanting a monopoly and "somehow" convincing the airport officials to back them.

You can't do anything for free in the good old US-of-A, its bound to upset some corporation or other, and they're the ones with all the power, not the voters.

Comment Re:Clairification- VirtualBox is being continued (Score 1) 145

you got any hints how to do this? i tried migrating a debian wheezy image across (sid host) today and never managed to get bridged networking working, also it was slow as mollasses.

i assume you don't have to make stupid scripts up to add a tap interface for each vm like its still 1990 do you? i converted my eth0 to br0 and all i could do was ping the host from the guest and vice versa, no LAN/WAN access. that was using the virtio driver and the vhost_net module.

Comment Re:What's up with the writing style, Mark? (Score 1) 285

i share your pain - these days if you ever google for a linux issue all that comes back are ubuntu forums where in the majority of cases there are questions without answers, or there are just plain incorrect answers.

and there's too much of this "don't fix it upstream, just install it from this unofficial ppa instead" going on. in the fedora/debian communities things get fixed.

ubuntu has dumbed down linux to the level of macosx/windows, and linux has suffered for it.
