The last of Us Episode 1 TV show (1).png
I have seen no trailers, read no interviews or posts on blogs, forums, Reddit or newspapers. Hell, I didn't even know the show had started until it showed up in my news feed at the weekend.
I did know from various gaming sites that Pedro Pascal was to play Joel, and Merle Dandridge was making a return as Marlene. I also knew that it would start in January...

UPDATE: Lets Encypt have an auto install bot and it’s a signed certificate, meaning no warning!

This is the LetsEncrypt Method:
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache -t stretch-backports
sudo certbot --apache
sudo certbot --apache certonly
Test the automated update process.
sudo certbot renew --dry-run...

If you have little use for the 2GB of RAM in a Raspberry Pi, then you could always use 1GB of it for a SWAP drive, this should improve performance for anyone running their Pi on a SD card.

If you want to use a SSD or USB Drive then checkout my easy as Pi tutorials here:

As usual this is a quick and easy setup:
install ZRAM

sudo wget -O /usr/bin/zram.sh

Make it executable.

sudo chmod +x...

IF the resolution is too high and you can barely see the text, this is the fix.

I was able to set the resolution with a bootparameter in /etc/default/grub but when the tty loads, it gets overriden by something.
Then I found this: and I added / changed this:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= nomodeset
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

then do: sudo...

sudo apt install pkg-config

sudo apt install git cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev

apt-get install build-essentials

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git

cd rtl_sdr
mkdir build

cmake /root/rtl-sdr -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON

make install

cp rtl-sdr.rules /etc/udev/rules.d

ldconfig

nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtl.conf

Add this text
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist...

Make sure you have the correct airspy software, I installed the 32bit version on debian 64bit and it crashed/failed constantly.

sudo apt install rtl-sdr librtlsdr-dev
mkdir spyserver
cd spyserver
wget -O spyserver.tgz
tar xvzf spyserver.tgz
nano spyserver.config
chmod +x spyserver
./spyserver

The job.
I have a signature generator that works and only works with Subsonic Music streamer. Sadly the project looks to have died, it's not been updated in 3-4 years and no longer works on linux. Windows yes, and just about.

I would like a similar signature for Plex Media Server. Plex presents some challenges.
1. Plex can use webhooks
2. It's incredibly secure and cannot be accessed...

I wonder about phone number in movies, do they actually work? In some films yes, call it and it's sends you on an Easter-egg hunt. But most I think are just made up.
This one does refer to a correct area though, Mississippi.

East Biloxi Mississippi, Calhoun Appliances.

In Halifax in the 80's there was a club called Crossleys Bar. It was based in Dean Clough and featured three distinct floors, now from memory, and bearing in mind this is nearly 35 years ago, it had three huge floors, one floor was for pop music, one for indie/rock and the third and by far the most popular was House Music.
This was my first introduction to house, and that music could be mixed to...

God only knows why, but for some reason I just can't buy this anymore... yet it's bloody delicious on salads.

1 tbsp French mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp cider vinegar
6 tbsp sunflower oil or rapeseed oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Looking at Louis Rossman videos regarding the iPhone 13 and then seeing a recommendation for this video, I had to watch.

It seems that Apple think it's a great idea (for them and NOT for the customer) to add hardware ID's to the components. You can argue that security is better, if someone has access to the phone, they could add custom nefarious hardware and have full hacked access to the...

I put criminals in quotes because the term is so loose.

Who would have thought, the creation of the MP3 format would have such a massive influence to the entire planet. It not only brought the music industry to it's knees, it changed how music would be made in future, how much money is made and by whom.
the record industry is no longer the purveyor of all things music, no longer are they the Gate Keeper, the fact is that the music industry no longer...

For me, make sure the start up disk is the external disk and not Macintosh HD.
I'm having this problem trying to install the new DDJ 1000 3.0 drivers on Big Sur M1 Mac. But I'm using an external 500GB NVMe drive instead of the internal 250GB drive.
1. The external drive is bigger - obviously
2. The internal drive will die one day and I'll be left with a £700 aluminium...

Both are beautiful numbers, but 10¹°° is soooo much neater don't you think?

OMG but this some of the best breakdancing, body popping, robots and definitely the best windmills I've ever seen. Being a kid from the 70's and 80's I've seen a lot. I used to be an amazing robot dancer too.

It's probably my favourite Christmas song bar none, and it's all thanks to Kevin McCallister's capers.

Lyrics:
Hark! How the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away.

Christmas is here, (ding)
Bringing good cheer (dong)
To young and old, (ding)
Meek and the bold. (dong)

Ding, dong, ding, dong (ding)
That is their song, (dong)
With joyful ring (ding)
All caroling. (dong)...

Trust me it's absolutely delicious.
