Yesterday I made my Raspberry Pi function as a router! It took me a long time, mostly because I was using my own custom compiled kernel (don’t worry, you don’t have to do that). There’s probably already enough blogs on the subject, but I thought I’d make one, too! Prerequisites continue reading…
Need to copy files from an old home encrypted with ecryptfs? Whether you’re doing it off a livecd or a new installation, at least in Ubuntu 14.04 it’s simple.

Microsoft visual studio (We’re forced to use it for uni, ugh) seems to take forever and a day to install. Here’s a few fun things you can do while it does that: (Note that this is a joke, don’t take it /too/ seriously ;)) Watch the lord of the rings continue reading…
Hi, This is a bit of a more personal post (in that it talks about how I approached a project rather than being a tutorial) but I thought it’d be interesting to share anyway. Our year 2 project in University is actually really open — we can work on pretty continue reading…
