I've never used this kind of thing, decided to give a try, as it seemed safe for all I was reading.

"pm-suspend-hybrid" did work, but after resuming, the CPU fan was reset to full speed all the time, as if the BIOS was set to have "smart fan control" disabled.

It may be also partly because some of the power management options (whatever is its name) are set to "S3" which I recall reading isn't really appropriate for suspension (which keeps...

How to watch Netflix in RaspEX Build 170810 based on Ubuntu 17.04

Posted 08-16-2017 at 08:48 AM by exton (Exton's Blog)

After my latest build of RaspEX (from 170810) was ready and released I stumbled over an article about How to watch Netflix on the Raspberry Pi. If you use Raspbian or Raspberry Pi systems based on Raspbian you can just follow the instructions in said article to be able to watch Netflix. If you use (or want to use) RaspEX Build 170810 you’ll have to install two extra packages before you can install a special version of the Chromium Browser.

GO ON AND READ my instruction for RaspEX…

NEWS 170810 about RaspEX for Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi 2
I have upgraded the whole system and replaced the old kernel 4.4.49 with “my own” compiled kernel 4.9.41-exton-v7+. RaspEX Build 170810 is a Linux ARM system for Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi 2. It is based on Debian 9, Ubuntu 17.04 and Linaro (Open Source software for ARM SoCs). In this new version (170810) I’ve installed Wicd Network Manager and replaced Chromium with Firefox with better support for YouTube. I have also installed Samba and...

EdgeRouter Lite + OpenBSD + Goal Zero Yeti solar power pack

Posted 08-10-2017 at 02:23 AM by rocket357 (Musings on technology, philosophy, and life in the corporate world)

A lot has changed in my home network since I last wrote here on LQ. I moved to a new rental and during the course of re-arranging everything on my network countless times, I started to get a bit irritated with having to constantly shutdown/startup my new firewall. The new firewall, speaking of, is an octeon low-power box, specifically the EdgeRouter Lite, running OpenBSD. Rebooting it is relatively painless, unless you include the speed at which my kids report internet issues (It's an entirely...

Stylish CSS userstyle for new google's image search, so you can spare an extra click

It's crude but seems to work. I simply don't get why webdesigners think it's a great idea to needlessly hide small menus under that "vertical ellipsis" icon. At very least those could be displayed just by hovering.

Code:

.irc_m {
    background-color: #fff;
    box-shadow: 3px 3px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
    margin-top: 0px;
    overflow: auto;
    padding: 0px 0;
    position: absolute;
    right: 8px;
    z-index: 2;
