Fix Skipping Videos Running OSMC on Raspberry Pi 3
Issue: no matter the network connection speed videos which are larger than ~12GB per 1.5 hours are constantly skipping, buffering and are completely unwatchable. The proposed fix will work only if your network bandwidth really could accommodate the speed needed for seamless video streaming. This is easy to check – say you want to see […]
Shared Folders on Linux Guest OS in VMware (Fusion/Workstation/Player)
Having VMs running around you will eventually need to pass some files between your host and guest OSes. This could be achieved in a number of ways, one of which (and the most convenient long term in my opinion) is to have a shared folder between the host and the guest. This writeup was compiled […]
Running CRON Jobs That Require GUI
I am using FreeFileSync utility for mirroring contents of several HDDs, call it software RAID if you must 🙂 This software can be run in batch mode however unlike many Linux native utilities this one is not text mode by default and require more than just a terminal to run. By any means this fact […]
LAN Over Powerline
The idea is not new – I’ve been hearing about it for the last 10 years at least (check it out here). For about as long I am depending on WiFi to satisfy all my networking needs because apparently the electric wiring in my apartment was designed by an idiot with zero respect to high-speed […]
Undetectable Ad Blocking With DNS and More
Morals are intentionally left out of this post, my focus is on the technology that allows to achieve the stated goal (block all ads) in the most efficient way. Present issue with adblockers is that they are fairly easy to detect and many sites are doing that, detecting adblockers and redirecting viewers to some warning […]

Obtain OS image/zip that is […]

Building Dependencies for fplog
Build Boost Windows First execute bootstrap.bat and then the following: b2 –build-type=complete –toolset=msvc architecture=x86 address-model=32 Linux g++-multilib: you need to install this package to do cross-compilation, building 32-bit executables on 64-bit machine. Execute bootstrap.sh and then the following: ./b2 -j8 –build-type=complete –layout=versioned –toolset=gcc architecture=x86 address-model=32 -j8 switch here means that 8 parallel compilation threads will […]
From Plex to Serviio via MiniDLNA
I’ve decided to make a switch – NUC (previously wrote about it here) is replaced by Raspberry Pi 3 B in Media Player role and NUC itself will serve File Server role from now on. In order to do that, I have made some reconfiguration and also installed Plex on my NUC (which has Ubuntu […]
