  1. I recently purchased a Pi and through together a small home automation system using 433mhz wireless light sockets and using some code I found herehttps://github.com/xillwillx/433Mhz which uses modified code from the ninja blocks project.

    The issue I am having is the WebUI doesn't save the state of the lights across all devices. Meaning of I turn a light on using my phone and then open the webUI from tablet, it will show that the light is off, even though the light us actually on. Does anyone know how to correct this issue or better code to fit my needs?

  2. Just on the hud setup you can buy clear film (or even better liquid) that is used for clear projection screens, lay or roll it onto the glass then use a projector as a display for an old pc, pi, phone whatever and project desired images on it.

    That's what use in my man cave and it works quite well.

    Just remember that anyone outside will be able to see it also. And do not go cheap on the projector get a decent one with a high number of lumens.

    you could then use a xbox 360 kinect to control it. Just search google on how to do this.

  3. Since this project was shut down. I started looking into what it involves because I hate the idea of an idea being censored. I could be wrong but it seems as if all you need to do is have a R-PI that is made into a vpn/tor router with 2 wifi cards and a 900mhz transceivers feeding data to and from one another while on the client side have another 900mhz (802.11ah) card and you have yourself a proxyham. Of course you won't be watching youtube or Netflix on it but you would have a proxy drop box for if the going gets tough.

  4. It's a good quad, I own one but upgrades are a must. The props break easy and so do the motor mounts, also if you are like me and are alittle daring if you happen to hit a tree branch or something with the arm the frame will break easily due to it being plastic and the arms being aluminum.

    but it a pretty powerful quad for its size and cost. I see the quad as one that was made to be upgraded and modded.

  5. I am using a laptop and 3.0 ports but I don't think I explained myself well enough.

    You see I have a 8gb usb 3.0 flash drive that is being used as a bootable live ubuntu install.

    I also have usb 3.0 64gb boot bootable usb drive but instead of it being used as a live install, it is a full persistent install and is being used in place of burned out hard drive. As in my 64gb drive is my hard drive.

    My question is why is the live install much faster than the persistent install.

    If both drives are usb 3.0 and I am using usb 3.0 ports and is their any way I can speed up my persistent ubuntu install.

  6. I recently had a hdd go out, instead of running a live usb, I decided to install ubuntu on a kingston 64gb usb 3.0 flash drive.

    I noticed a huge difference in speed compared to running ubuntu live from usb, the install is significantly slower.

    does anyone have a reason why this is and a way to fix it?

  7. Thanks digip.

    I tried that and never could get it going.

    So I went to dreamhost. Lol.

    I will try again after I read more on apache2 and ubuntu server.

    I am also beginning to believe comcast might be giving me issues because a simple apt - get update would not work on a fresh install

    However I could access us.ubuntu.com through my broswer but only if I used a page proxy.

  8. Was able to get pretty fair with this in my ubuntu server, (for some reason didn't have any issues in openwrt).

    However while watching of the tutorial i can to a stopping point when i ran into the .htaccess URL rewrite error as Darren did.

    Darren said he would be linking to the configuration file to get passed this yet i can not find it anywhere so far.

    I have checked youtube.

    hak5.org/shownotes

    hak.org>show>season18>bilding your own friendica server-- then checked the written tutorial below the video. Everything seemed to be there except for .htaccess stuff.

  9. I created a new and went back through the steps of setting up a static IP.

    Meaning i set it up on the server side and set the IP to static within my router as well.

    Something i noticed is when i log into my router's UI.

    I can no longer see my server as a connected device.

    This is strange because i can clearly see my test webpages externally.

    EDIT:

    ok after some playing around this is what i figured out:

    I can manual set my IP to static in /etc/network/interfaces, while in my router keeping the IP dhcp and apt-get update works fine until i set up my FQDN in /etc/hosts.

    Once i set my FQDN in /etc/hosts i loss the ability to use apt-get.

    EDIT # 2 :

    Instead of setting my FQDN to 10.0.0.211 as shown above, i can set it to

    127.0.0.1  mysite.net localhost

    And i can still access my site externally my going to mysite.net and use apt-get update.

    From what i have read in the Ubuntu documentation this is a in correct configuration though.

  10. I have my Ubuntu 12.04 server set to static IP on my router and in /etc/network/interfaces i transferred my domain name from domain.com to my home IP (comcast) and my dns is set to use comcast as well:

    /etc/network/interfaces
    
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    # The primary network interface
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 10.0.0.211
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.0.0.1
    dns-search http://www.comcast.com
    dns-nameservers 75.75.75.75 75.75.75.76
    
    

    I can confirm that my /etc/resolv.conf is picking up my dns

    # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
    #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
    nameserver 75.75.75.75
    nameserver 75.75.75.76
    search http://www.comcast.com
    
    

    Not sure if it matter but here is my host file as well:

    127.0.0.1       localhost
    127.0.1.1       mysite.net
    127.0.1.2       Social.mysite.net
    10.0.0.211      mysite.net
    10.0.0.211      Social.mysite.net
    
    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    
    

    I can ping mysite.net and i can access it from the outside web. as well as security.ubuntu.com

    but when i tried to do an apt-get update or install (when trying to install the postfix mail stuff for friendica)

    I receive an Error issue with resolving:

    root@hostname:~# apt-get update
    Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise Release.gpg
      Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
    Err http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security Release.gpg
      Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
    Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise-updates Release.gpg
      Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
    0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com]
     

    I have also tried setting my DNS to use Google's but received the same resolving error.

    I've been working on this for 3 days and still can't figure out why i can't resolve this resolving issue.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

  11. Its been showing the episodes for me but they have been corrupted / miss colored!

    It does through the whole episode for me, but then if i go to youtube and watch the same episode everything is fine.
