Recently, I’ve been recommending to most of my readers to use a VPN server on their routers for secure access to their home network. More so, the point came up in response to my blog post, Xiaomi Smart 1080P WiFi IP Camera with RTSP Streaming Hack. Such a setup would […]
WDLabs (Western Digital’s internal team of innovators for emerging markets) has been hard at work these days, bringing more unique product innovations to the ever growing Raspberry Pi community. This time WDLabs has combined its series of PiDrive devices in an all-in-one, turn-key computing solution called the WD PiDrive Compute […]
When the Western Digital Corporation announced Raspberry Pi products, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. In my mind, WD had always been synonymous with quality and reliability when it came to big storage, but what would their foray into the world of Raspberry Pi bring? Not to long ago, and […]
In a previous series of blog posts, I detailed the process by which we can triple boot the Raspberry Pi with three separate OSes (Raspbian/RetroPie/Openelec). If you’re curious how that was done, I urge you to check it out! Though a little complicated, it provided us with some flexibility to boot […]
In Part 1, we went over the installation of IncrediblePBX on the Raspberry Pi. In this post, we’ll get into the nitty-gritty and some much needed theory. We’ll also be getting our hands dirty with a complete walkthrough on how to setup IncrediblePBX for residential use. Residential Setup Extensions If […]
In an older post, “IncrediblePBX (Asterisk/FreePBX) ESXi Installation with Google Voice”, I touched on installing a variant of Asterisk/FreePBX called IncrediblePBX in a virtual machine. This time however, I’d like to focus on installing this cool piece of software on a Raspberry Pi (either a version 2 or 3). Luckily the […]
All right, you’ve spent countless sleepless nights working on that ultra cool Raspberry Pi project, and now you’re thinking about the unthinkable. What happens if my Raspberry Pi or SD Card dies? Do I have a backup? Can I quickly get up and running? The answer is probably NO. So […]
A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is an electrical device that provides emergency power in the event of a power failure. Most modern UPSes can connect to a computer via USB and made to execute a self shutdown in the event that power has been lost. In this blog post I’ll […]
The Raspberry comes fully loaded with a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) port to interface with a multitude of devices/sensors/expansion boards. Unfortunately, there could be many different ways to refer to the same pin, especially if you are using the wiringPi library. In this post I will attempt to show you how […]
As you remember from the previous posts, our goal was to install three OSes; Raspian, RetroPie, and Openlec, move all root filesystem to a fast USB key and install a script that will magically reboot into an OS of our choice. In this final blog post of the series, I […]
