steam OS running plex (or plex running steam?)
so I tried to build a steam box that runs plex and dual boots to steamOS or launches the Steam app. but why not go the whole way and run steamOS and launch plexhometheater from there?
either way is cool and I will try them both. currently running ubuntu and default boot to plex home theater. (which is a PITA, too…)

fedora core 21 > 23
trying to do this without reinstalling the entire OS…
yum install dnf dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
dnf system-upgrade --releasever=23 download
so far only fedy was disabled (cannot find repo)
1.6GB download…

volumio on raspberry pi 2 with album art
I have received a hifiberry daughterboard for the great raspberry pi 2 which makes it put out really nice audio. Now MPD is not featuring local cover art unless you run a webserver to tell it where to look for it.

This information was compiled by Rowar from the RaspiFy forums before it was called volumio
but it works fine here with mpdroid and mPod
thank you, Dude! :)

make the oneplus one fly
the code name of the OnePlus One is bacon :)
let’s make bacon fly and install android nightly builds
Android round three
so the phone decided to erase and reinstall itself after it could not decrypt its flash storage.
While awesome from a security point if view I would really have liked to know what exactly caused this.
but then again, the amount of tinkering possible with this phone (Android 5.0.2 + cyanogenmod) is stunning and keeps amazing me.
conclusion: Not suitable for business (immature/confusing) but wonderful and confusing and time-consuming (just like every Linux distribution ever)
