As you may’ve guessed from some previous blog posts, I have been expirementing with Raspberry Pi as media player. The setup was not entirely straight forward, as it was to be located at my girlfriends place, with access to the media I have at home. I was looking at OpenVPN as solution, tying the networks […]
Raspberry Pi as cheap media player.
Xbian vs. Raspbmc
I’ve recently tested Xbian and Raspbmc. Xbian seems to be based of raspbmc, with a few changes, for example a quite sleek setup plugin. Raspbmc, in turn, are based on Debian, the well known Linux-distro, with apt and all the snacks. Both are painless to setup, and works quite fine for playing media files. However, […]

Backup – for fun and profit.
rsnapshot er et artig verktøy for Ã¥ ta backup. Det er basert pÃ¥ rsync, men i tillegg kan det lage revisjoner.

I tillegg blir recovery […]
