New toys in my garage :)

Changes… again

I know I made changes in my home server configuration few months ago (you may read about that here), but I really like the idea of High Availability cluster based on Proxmox. In the same time, I’m in love with Archbang, and right now this is my distribution of choice (even, if I was in love with Debian for almost twenty years). In my career I worked with different distros, some Debian-based, mostly red-hat based (company standard after all). I worked with SUSE, Gentoo and many other too, but for years Debian was my preferred system. And right now I may say – Archbang is my preferred Linux distro at this moment of my life 🙂

Going back to the topic – I bought few new toys.

NAS – nothing fancy, but still working:

The Netgear ReadyNAS 314 (RN314) Small / Medium business NAS released in 2013. It is powered by Intel Atom D2701 dual-core @ 2.1 GHz CPU and 2 GB RAM. It has 1 x USB 2.0, 2 x USB 3.0 port(s) that can be used to connect printers and external drives. The ReadyNAS 314 device has 4 x 3.5″ SATA III bay(s) and 2 x Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces. And what is really nice, it may host some apps (except latest software version, 6.10.10, which removed this option). So I downgrade software to 6.10.9 and (after some tweaks) I have docker on it (just in case).

Youtube movies as a podcast?

Yes, it’s possible!

Some time ago, my friends from the telegram group asked if we may have a solution which will make a podcast from youtube videos. You may ask why, but answer is really simple:

Podcast applications have a rich functionality for content delivery – automatic download of new episodes, remembering last played position, sync between devices and offline listening. This functionality is not available on YouTube. But still – how to do it?
