There's a couple of ways to watch Youtube videos without watching adverts. AS we know adblockers no longer work, or rather most don't.
Even the amazing Pi-Hole can't block them.

But there are ways to still cleanly watch Youtube videos.
1. youtube-dl
I've installed youtube-dl on one of my linux boxes, I just type:
youtube-dl and the link starts to download immediately.
Then I copy it from the...

It's taken me an absolute age, but I finally have the url to display the CCTV on any security monitoring software
rtsp://192.168.0.20:554/user=username&password=password&channel=2&stream=0

So obviously the username and password is one you use to setup the YALE system, usually the username is admin... then your password.
The channel is 1 through 4 on my system. Camera 1, 2, 3 or 4
The stream is...

Where is the loneliest on Earth to you?
Give yourself a little time and think about it.

It maybe after a cataclysm and you maybe the last person on the planet.
You maybe disabled and can't leave the house.
Maybe you're a night-watchman and you work alone, in the dark, in a scary place.
What if you're an astronaut and on a planet by yourself, everyone else died.

Yes these are...

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago, Illinois, in the early 1980s. It is characterized by its four-on-the-floor rhythm, which features a steady beat of kick drum on each beat of the measure, and its use of electronic synthesizers and other production techniques to create a sound that is both repetitive and hypnotic. Over the years, house music has evolved...

The last of Us Episode 1 TV show (1).png
I have seen no trailers, read no interviews or posts on blogs, forums, Reddit or newspapers. Hell, I didn't even know the show had started until it showed up in my news feed at the weekend.
I did know from various gaming sites that Pedro Pascal was to play Joel, and Merle Dandridge was making a return as Marlene. I also knew that it would start in January...

If you have little use for the 2GB of RAM in a Raspberry Pi, then you could always use 1GB of it for a SWAP drive, this should improve performance for anyone running their Pi on a SD card.

If you want to use a SSD or USB Drive then checkout my easy as Pi tutorials here:

As usual this is a quick and easy setup:
install ZRAM

sudo wget -O /usr/bin/zram.sh

Make it executable.

sudo chmod +x...

IF the resolution is too high and you can barely see the text, this is the fix.

I was able to set the resolution with a bootparameter in /etc/default/grub but when the tty loads, it gets overriden by something.
Then I found this: and I added / changed this:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= nomodeset
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

then do: sudo...

The job.
I have a signature generator that works and only works with Subsonic Music streamer. Sadly the project looks to have died, it's not been updated in 3-4 years and no longer works on linux. Windows yes, and just about.

I would like a similar signature for Plex Media Server. Plex presents some challenges.
1. Plex can use webhooks
2. It's incredibly secure and cannot be accessed...

I wonder about phone number in movies, do they actually work? In some films yes, call it and it's sends you on an Easter-egg hunt. But most I think are just made up.
This one does refer to a correct area though, Mississippi.

East Biloxi Mississippi, Calhoun Appliances.

In Halifax in the 80's there was a club called Crossleys Bar. It was based in Dean Clough and featured three distinct floors, now from memory, and bearing in mind this is nearly 35 years ago, it had three huge floors, one floor was for pop music, one for indie/rock and the third and by far the most popular was House Music.
This was my first introduction to house, and that music could be mixed to...

Looking at Louis Rossman videos regarding the iPhone 13 and then seeing a recommendation for this video, I had to watch.

It seems that Apple think it's a great idea (for them and NOT for the customer) to add hardware ID's to the components. You can argue that security is better, if someone has access to the phone, they could add custom nefarious hardware and have full hacked access to the...

I put criminals in quotes because the term is so loose.

For me, make sure the start up disk is the external disk and not Macintosh HD.
I'm having this problem trying to install the new DDJ 1000 3.0 drivers on Big Sur M1 Mac. But I'm using an external 500GB NVMe drive instead of the internal 250GB drive.
1. The external drive is bigger - obviously
2. The internal drive will die one day and I'll be left with a £700 aluminium...

OMG but this some of the best breakdancing, body popping, robots and definitely the best windmills I've ever seen. Being a kid from the 70's and 80's I've seen a lot. I used to be an amazing robot dancer too.

It's probably my favourite Christmas song bar none, and it's all thanks to Kevin McCallister's capers.

Lyrics:
Hark! How the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away.

Christmas is here, (ding)
Bringing good cheer (dong)
To young and old, (ding)
Meek and the bold. (dong)

Ding, dong, ding, dong (ding)
That is their song, (dong)
With joyful ring (ding)
All caroling. (dong)...
