Vark steaks! Sounds more or less the same as F*$ks@kes! I sold a cd player to a gent in KZN. Agreed to ship via postnet. The original packaging missing, I think I did an excellent job and the OEM should be jealous. Walking in the hardware store, the hammer hits me between the eyes - I forgot...

April I will be coming to South Africa for a week. Anybody need something that I can bring with, give a shout. Obviously, needs to be size and shape to travel as luggage. And no bags of baby powder in the amp/speaker/whatever it may be :)

I have been self employed for the lat two years, not an easy ride. I focused on subcontracting in the DRC, but the political situation there send the DRC Franc into a downwards spiral. However, somehow I got a contract in Germany, too big to focus on anything else. This will last at least 5...

Old news by now, but if you had some old kit that you afforded new life with the Arch distro, it is not good news: https://www.archlinux.org/news/phasing-out-i686-support/ http://www.pcworld.com/article/3164876/linux/arch-linux-pulls-the-plug-on-32-bit.html...

Does anybody have experience with this raspberry DAC: http://www.audiophonics.fr/en/diy-dac/audiophonics-i-sabre-dac-es9023-v2-tcxo-raspberry-pi-20-a-b-i2s-p-10657.html My colleague in germania is raving about it, I am looking at bringing one in but it will be well in excess of a grand with...

Does anybody have experience with this? I see the MYTEK website has no supporting drivers for Linux, but if using the USB 2 port on the DAC, it fails to announce itself to programs / processes, in this case Squeezelite. There is one Github package I found, but this requires patching some...

Just to look at the new Kodi, so-called "Krypton", I briefly played with the alpha 3 release. With a heatsink and some overclocking it seems now you can play H265 1080p 24fps without dropping frames on the Raspberry Pi 3. Without a heatsink you will have less than 20 seconds of smooth playback...

Have one that is about 2.5 months old. Not many apps, and none that use backround data/resources. Battery don't get through a normal day, nevermind an intense day with issues and surprises that must be dealt with. They claim it has a 1810 mAh battery, drained it flat until it switched off, the...

For the Rpi 3, if you are using a class 10 micro SD card nano /boot/config.txt add line: dtparam=sd_overclock=100 For any arch device Compiling can take long on the Pi, a little faster on the Odroid but can still be tedious. If you have more than one arch linux device on your network, install...

Having never owned a television in my life, I do not have a tv license. I have a 22" inch FHD monitor connected to my AVR, and binoculars on the table for the remotes. Anything bigger than 24" without a tuner becomes horrifically expensive, something that defies logic. If you want a bigger...

Anybody using this filesystem? Wikipedia: "F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system initially developed by Samsung Electronics for the Linux kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that, from the start, takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash...

Best I can currently do for a C2 is to bring one in from Europe -  but I must order ahead so that it is at the office when I arrive - but I cannot seem to find any retailers in SA to compare prices?

If you signal struggles to reach everywhere in you house, one can try to set the regulatory domain to US &/or Canada. That yields stronger transmitting power. Everything (from the router etc needs to be set accordingly, but it seems cell-phones do not worry.) There is also a international or a...

The PiCorePlayer is fantastic. It is super straight-forward to install and setup is very simple as well. You can attach a usb stick with music plug & play without having to bother about mounting disks etc. It integrate seamlessly to a LMS. After some discussions earlier and not being sure if it...

Good day folks, How do I measure traffic and speed between the NAS and the Raspi via the router - the router firmware canot supply this info. Is there any difference in the required capacity when I stream from the Logitech media server on the NAS to the Rpi as opposed to having Kodi connect to...

Does anybody use the build-in Bluetooth device of the RPi 3? Using the installation instructions from the Archlinux ARM site, the Bluetooth device is not detected. From this site, there is clear instructions how to compile a package to install the hciattach-rpi3 and pi-Bluetooth drivers...

Can anybody advise what would be a good, sensible & value-for-money buy in the sub R1000 bracket? No need for noise cancelling or wireless. Over ear or on ear, just not in-ear. Thanks in advance

Where can one buy a GP card for a laptop - my Nvidia M7800 GTX gave up the ghost. I managed to salvage a Nvidia Quadra something gtx/xyz from a dead hp, but this one is more modern and uses a different slot format as does the 4GB memory :(

What is the correct way to go? cfdisk dev//sdx only sees the .75GB should I use gparted? or is the problem a hardware problem on my pc/mb/etc?
