Transmission on the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian)

FIXME – I’m having some issues with configuration, where the regular start routine won’t work, probably because I’m using a symbolic link for some configuration. Argh!

BitTorrent with the Raspberry Pi >

I ended up going with transmission-daemon, because I had been using transmission on my desktop.

It’s both capable and surprisingly easy to set up.

Tested 2013-11-01 on Raspbian 2013-09-25, updated recently.

A remote desktop thing.

I didn’t really take notes on rdesktop itself, though I had significant exposure through some of my projects with it. See /tag/rdesktop. Apparently I didn’t note an rdesktop version.

check out SeamlessRDP mode. It does what I was using xpra for.

This is a placeholder topic for anything Raspberry Pi.

I might have used this as a media centre, but I never did explore it. USB 2.0 was the killer for me, because I couldn’t re-check torrents which were all corrupt by default with Deluge.

Yeah, I haven’t updated this in a while. I’ll revisit this concept eventually.

I haven’t really decided what I should focus on this July, August, September. I’ll keep this post updated.

Continued from 2013 second-quarter immersion.

I used this back in the day, and had pretty good results. I ended up switching to Windows, mostly for this game.

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.

Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.

Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).
