Random tech topics I find interesting to share
First time I heard about Plex was perhaps 2-3 years ago. A friend of mine was traveling from the US to EU was telling how he’s watching (streaming) movies from his home server on his tablet and how perfectly it all works. Until now I’ve always had some sort of home media server, some storage…
If you have a ZFS based storage server and other machines in the network, it would be a shame not to share the awesome storage with them. I have 2 servers at home. frisbie is the ZFS storage machine and yotta is just a powerful machine but with only one disk, so I’d like to…
Docker is now available of FreeBSD. How cool is that? And setup is so simple that it would be a shame not to try it out: sudo pkg install docker-freebsd ca_root_nss As seems to be the case quite often with FreeBSD packages, after installing the package you get quite nice instructions on what to do…

I have been thinking for couple of days now that I should give Ghost a try. Since I am re-starting blogging and all, might as well try different blog engines while I’m at it. It would be no fun installing it on linux, so I decided to use FreeBSD VM on Digitalocean + a Jail…
I have been meaning to try out both IPFW and PF. After reading bsdnow pf tutorial and skimming over nice FreeBSD handbook’s pf section I was a bit hesitant to try PF on FreeBSD as it was said to have slightly older version from OpenBSD and that would cause syntax to differ. So I tried…

Upon installing and configuring OpenVPN I was getting this error: Sun Jul 12 17:59:49 2015 us=222242 Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically Sun Jul 12 17:59:49 2015 us=222330 Exiting…
