Build a PVR system
KnoppMyth 1 year ago

I’ve built a system using KnoppMyth (latest R5E50) about a year ago. I’m using a Hauppauge PVR-350 card and I’ve got 650Gb set up using LVM. It’s not that powerful of a system, but it doesn’t have to be. If you will be using KnoppMyth, definitely check your hardware first for incompatibilities.



learn python
The code is teh confusing 1 year ago

I could say I’ve learned python, so I’m crossing this goal off my list. I’m used to C-like syntax programming languages, so I had a bit of an initial hurdle to cross in the beginning, however, I picked it up rather quickly.

It’s a good language to use for making quick scripts (I would definitely use it in place of bash, or sh), but I mentioned I preferred C style syntax. Actually I use Java more than the C languages.



build a server
Untitled 2 years ago

Built a machine that is very much overkill, but it gets the job done.

Story

1x Intel Xeon 3.0 Ghz
Asus (dunno the model) Motherboard
2 Gb Crucial ECC RAM (not cheap)
4x Western Digital 74 Gb Raptors 10,000 RPM (RAID 5)
1x Western Digital 36 Gb Raptor (Boot and Root partition)
1x Western Digital 400 Gb (backup)
3ware 9500-4LP RAID controller
Ubuntu Linux Dapper (6.06.1, supposed to be stable)
