    ******** The Official amateur radio thread ********

    Just got an arrow antenna in the post and hoping to have a go at FM satellites with my D72. I've watched some videos of people doing it and they speak very quickly! I thought I had it on 1.5x speed! See how I get on with it...

    Dell S3222DGM - a good budget choice?

    I've just been looking at the Dell SE3223Q (32" 4K UHD Monitor) has freesync, but 60Hz. Available to get sub £200 too at times. Could only find one real review so hard to tell...

    Raspberry Pi - $35 Linux computer

    Do you encode your media specifically for the rpi to serve it? I'd like to move to a rpi for a plex server but worry that if clients can't play the audio or remote connections with limited bandwidth cause plex to transcode that the pi will fail.

    Cogmind

    http://gridsagegames.com/cogmind/index.html Anyone played this? Reminds me of dwarf fortress/various rouge like games. I'm tempted to buy it, $30 for one pack ($20 if you buy a 3 pack). Slight premium for early access. Some images from the site: Video:

    Setting up btrfs

    Marc's blog has some good scripts to automate snapshot stuff. Can't remember if it was there or not, but I saw someone made one whereby it took a system snapshot before upgrading packages. You could then roll back if something didn't work and you didn't have time to fix it.

    Setting up btrfs

    Yes. The author is just naming it default volume, as that's what he called it. That Marc blog, shows a similar subvolume structure but you'll see he names them differently. Again, the names don't matter it's just the layout. That installation guide doesn't show much about grub or mkinitcpio...

    Setting up btrfs

    At the top that author tries to explain the layout of subvolumes, and it's pretty much similar to directories and partitions. How you can have /, /var, /home, etc. all on different partitions. The reason it's done this way is so that you can take snapshots of root, var, home etc. all...

    Setting up btrfs

    Hello again! What don't you get? You can name subvolumes anything you want. I know what you mean with the __, I've seen that a few times. Probably each guide copies the other. That might be from some btrfs snapshot management script and for some reason it needs the __ to work. I don't really...

    elementary os

    Why did ubuntu start? Why does any distro exist over linux from scratch? They wrote Pantheon and wanted it to work well out of the box. Yes you can install it yourself on ubuntu (or any linux distro) along with everything else but they've done it for you. I really like the Pantheon WM and...

    open suse 13.1 just released

    These are some (subjective?) reasons why one might try OpenSUSE over another distro... YAST2 configuration tool is very comprehensive KDE "works best" on OpenSUSE as the KDE developers use it Community based (i.e. like debian rather than ubuntu) btrfs offered as part of the installer The...

    Online iPad screen repair stores

    Can anyone recommend an online iPad screen repair store? It could be a store that accepts online bookings e.g. http://ipadrepairnorthampton.com/ Local stores for me are still charging near Apple prices ~£200, vs the ~£80 in my example. Just don't fancy sending the iPad away blindly.

    keepass 2 password generator

    KeePass puts you in complete control of your passwords. Keep the database on dropbox and then you can access your password database anywhere including mobile devices. I'd recommend KeePass over LastPass as you don't need to rely on LastPass' servers. Everything for KeePass is 100% open source...

    iPad Mini, Nexus 7 2, or wait?

    New Nexus. I believe it's due end of this month. As a recent iOS to Android convert I would wholly recommend the environment.
