This is my exact DNS setup. 3x cheap VPS with PowerDNS + Poweradmin. Really works well. In the past I had used BuddyNS. Service was fine but I was always riding the limits of the free tier.

I think the Zero will find a fair bit of use in embedded stuff where a microcontroller might typically be used (probably just hobbyist grade but still). Form factor looks pretty similar to an Arduino Micro, the GPIO ports should make interfacing pretty easy, and there is still a USB port and the...

http://dev-random.net/temperature-measuring-using-linux-and-raspberry-pi/ here's someone who did a full writeup from start to finish He does mention that the temp was 6degC off which is surprising to me. The plug on the wired sensor one is a TRRS which would imply it's a 4-wire sensor and...

I use a "TEMPer" USB temperature sensor to monitor room temp. It looks like they've updated all the models since I got mine, as the new ones have all metal cases for the electronics and a detachable probe. example http://www.pcsensor.com/usb-thermometer/temperntc.html - They make a few...

A year later the only real hardware changes I made were upgrading to a semi-managed switch so I could use VLANs and replacing failed NAS hardware. I did try to simplify some of the software aspects of my network so I can sleep better etc Internet connection: Arris CM820A cable modem...

Here is what I am seeing. This is taking 40-50Mbit from the internet and pushing it out another NIC (softether local bridge). VMware VM. SoftEther cascade connection set to two TCP threads (although I'm not sure how relevant this is since UDP acceleration is enabled), compression enabled. I...

BurstNet in... 2009? 2010? Not a good experience although it did last a while before before I started to experience the horrors that others had described

Yeah I've been reading northkoreatech for a while. Interesting look into what goes on there

Not sure how high output you're looking at but beware of anything that seems too good to be true for the price. Here's a page about a guy who got a cheap high power true sine inverter, had it blow up under very little load, and ended up having to redesign it to make it usable...

My father has a few numbers from voip.ms and uses them with an OBi202, quite happy with both. voip.ms offers hosted voicemail sent to your email, afaik free

Using iSpy myself with four standard-def IP cams. Unfortunately my cameras adjust their iris/shutter/whatever in pretty big steps so I always have false motion detect triggers due to the sun no matter how the sensitivity is set. One feature of iSpy (and probably others) that I've come to like...

License levels: http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=about_3&id=amateur Specific bands: http://www.arrl.org/frequency-allocations TL;DR yes I think a technician license gives you access to (part of) the wifi band but I'm not 100% sure. The ARRL page states "All modes and licensees...

Inverters are generally inefficient, so you want to do direct DC-DC for whatever you can. Lots of little switching 12v-5v boards available on eBay for peanuts that would be good for running a raspi, phone charging, etc. Same goes for 12v step-up to run laptops. For $5 the efficiency of those...

I'd be willing to gather up some of my SDR notes at some point and start a thread. Unfortuantely the only experience I have currently is with the cheapo usb sticks, but now quite a few higher performance solutions have become affordable and I'll probably purchase one soon. There are the HackRF...

Yup, same here :) the availability of a working SDR for $10 re-kindled my interest somewhat. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone but with the caveat that they are not necessarily a good "first radio". The cheap sticks have limitations that could get a brand new beginner tripped up. They...
