Who didn't dream of plugging their old Atari ST on an LCD screen, and play to their favorites ST games ?
Although this was not as easy as one would expect, I eventually succeeded in having a nice and stable picture out of my Atari 520 …
Back in 2017, I bought a gaming machine with a Saphire AMD RX 480 graphic card. As far as I can tell, while running Linux, the machine has always been crashing regularly (I would say once a day or so). Symptoms were a few graphics glitches, spreading all over the …

I recently bought 3 GB of used DDR2 SDRAM (for 8 bucks) for my 2009 Macmini 2,1, to use it as a ceph monitor running GNU/Linux. The machine's CPU is a 64 bits core 2 duo, which is more than enough for my use case. Here's a video …
Publishing things (as notes, code, blog posts, videos, ...) is very powerful, because what has been done at a given point in time is not lost. We can reuse previous work and build upon it.

As I figured out that my good old Linksys WRT54GL was a bit old and couldn't even run the latest and greatest OpenWrt firmware, I decided to buy a new (faster) router supported by OpenWrt. So I went to my …
I recently wrote about a basic network setup than I tried to configure
using dd-wrt and my struggles to have DHCP requests forwarded to
an external DHCP server. I eventually found out that dd-wrt custom
service management binary rc overwrote dhcp-fwd configuration file
each time the service was (re)started …
Lately, I've been playing with a (15 years old) Linksys WRT54GL router (which still has decent hardware), running dd-wrt instead of the factory firmware. dd-wrt is open source (dd-wrt source code) and provides more features (like SSH access!) than Linksys' factory software. Although, dd-wrt documentation is IMO a little bit …
