You have a server you'd like to manage remotely, so you open up a port
in the router to log in directly. However, you don't want your server

I have set up a basic guest access point with limited bandwidth.
There's two parts to it: setting up the AP, then setting the
limits. This is a quick walkthrough, based on the OpenWrt wiki,
to which I have added the instructions for a multi-device setup
(ie a network configuration …

NFS has very basic security checks - up till v3, it relies on
IP whitelists, from v4 on you can use the Kerberos protocol
for security. We'll be looking at a default standard NFS v3/v4

As discussed in my previous post on the Beaglebone Black, Robert
Nelson provides multiple Debian images for the Beaglebone. The installer
image, however, is only available for Debian Wheezy, but you can easily
turn the Jessie (Testing) tarballs into an installer image as well. Here's

In search of a simpler blogging framework, and intended to ditch PHP,
I have tested multiple static site generators, settling on Pelican.
Unlike Pico or Phile CMS, Pelican generates fully static content. So

Most BIOSes
offer the possibility to fire up your computer at a given time.
This may be a handy alternative when WoL
is unavailable or unreliable, but it offers little flexibility.

Most routers nowadays support WPS, which allows you to easily add new
devices to a WLAN, without the need to type in long passwords. Most consumer routers or APs come with a WPS button

This procedure is best started right after the installation. If you know how
to tweak Debian's installer so dpkg already skips locales etc., even better,
then you can apply this during installation. Either way, the sooner you do
it, the better.
Removing redundant packages
