First off, I failed so there will not be any kind of walk-through or guide. Hardware/software setup is sub-optimal and is for sure part of the problem for at least three reasons: as primary display adapter I use an Nvidia GTX 750ti; I use Nvidia proprietary driver because nouveau support for newest graphic cards isn’t good (this is an understatement to say the least); it isn’t completely clear if Intel Z97 chipset supports VT-D or not and if it does on what level it does. …

In order to be able to mount a MTP device (in my case it is a Oneplus One) in thunar file manager the following packages are needed: simple-mtpfs libmtp fuse fuse-libs gvfs-mtp. After installing the previous listed packages restart the system. Once installed the device can me be mounted with simple-mtpfs _directory_, unmounted with fusermount -u _directory_ or mounted with thunar/gigolo/etc.

When playing html5 videos with my 1+1 (Cyanogenmod 11 – snapshot M11 – Android 4.4.4 with ART runtime) using Firefox 33.1 (version 34 does not fix the bug either) audio works fine while video is completely corrupted with grey artifacts all over the place. The problem appears to be quite common and is not only circumscribed to 1+1. The best workaround so far is type about:config in the address bar, search for media. …

Two weeks ago while wasting time on the interwebs I found by accident a couple of OnePlus One invites. To be honest I wasn’t planning on buying a new phone since my previous Nexus 4 is still serving me well but seeing OPO price (299 € for the 64 GB one) and specs I said: well, fuck it. So far I like it very much, the bigger screen makes general usage more enjoyable and battery life is significantly better than Nexus 4, it lasts 2 days without many problems. …

I have this Arch Linux based ODROID-U3 I use as DLNA server, local web server…etc…and also as local DNS caching server. For some strange reason pdnsd doesn’t seem to start correctly on Arch Linux. [root@server ~]# systemctl status pdnsd -l ● pdnsd.service - proxy name server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/pdnsd.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2000-01-01 20:02:07 CET; 14 years 7 months ago Process: 182 ExecStart=/usr/bin/pdnsd (code=exited, status=3) Main PID: 182 (code=exited, status=3) Jan 01 20:02:06 server systemd[1]: Starting proxy name server. …

So, I have this big ass fancy IPOD Classic, the stock OS is, like most of the apple stuff, dogshit; I installed Rockbox and gave him new life. Yesterday I had some strange errors during theme installation (RockboxUtility on Fedora X86_64), files extraction failed or something like this. At first I thought of a corrupted Rockbox installation, after a bit of thinkering I found out the thing was just mounted as read only; tried to mount it manually with the rw flag but still a no go. …

I will be keeping this post up to date to keep track on how to configure and mantain an ejabberd server working efficiently and secure. I strongly advise any reader to read carefully what is written here and not just copy-and-paste the configuration file. My blog also contains a bunch of other posts regarding ejabberd that are worth giving a look at, use the search form. Server CentOS 7.5.1804 x86_64 Erlang/OTP 21. …
