Took an old PII and made it an ad-hoc access point. (hostapd and dnsmasq) Neat to be able to access an ipaddress and web page from the unit. Need to firewall it though.

Have my ol neotv box working again. Had to hold the reset button forever Watched a little net tv.

Put a couple of ends on some cables that needed to be made for practice.

Made a new version of the megaphone for tablets. It is a lot sturdier now. Used tees on the end instead of ells. Sealed...

Nginx and uWSGI on a Raspberry Pi

Posted 11-15-2013 at 12:00 PM by Pyplate

I've set up Nginx and uWSGI on a Raspberry Pi. Nginx only serves static files, so uWSGI is needed to handle CGI scripts. It's slightly more complex to set up than Apache, but works just as well.

I did a comparison of Nginx and Apache. Unsurprisingly, Nginx was faster at serving static files.

Once I've worked out how to manage expires headers I can move my cluster over to Nginx. At the moment I can serve html files with an expires header, but when I try it with...

Grrrr

My netbook died. It was good, in that I could run Win7 (not bad), any Linux I wanted to (mostly Puppy/MacPup), and even came with a quickboot to ASUS' own version of Linux desktop.

So I bought a new ASUS (actually, two -- identical ones for myself and my fiance). The new machine, an X550CA, has UEFI on it and Windows 8 (now 8.1). I can't even get it to boot from the disk drive, the USB drives... some websites said that if I disabled QuickBoot I could get to "Legacy Boot"...
