My brother asked me to customize firmware in his WiFi router TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. He wants to use if for downloading torrents and sharing them using smb and ftp protocols.
I have good experiences with OpenWrt, which is really good in customization and suits well for this purpose. Nowadays you there are few torrent clients in OpenWrt distribution, but I choose transmission and for ftp daemon vsftpd.
Since I bought my HTC Desire I want to put on it CyanogenMod. This ROM is quite popular, but only version 6.0 released last week supports HTC Desire.
I’m going to put there few notes how I did “post installation” changes like removing some programs, ssh key config, OpenVPN setup and few more.
Two weeks ago I bought HTC Desire cell phone and I decided to get root on it. Rooting guide for this phone was published few days ago, but most of it it “windows only”.
Here you can find the way how to get root on the HTC Desire using Debian.
If you are using DHCP server in your network environment, it’s handy to be able to boot from network. It brings you many advantages especially when you are not able to boot operating system from the workstation’s disk.
I would like to describe my experience with DHCP server called Dnsmasq. This software can also serve TFTP requests and act as DNS forwarder.
Like every UNIX server admin, I’m using many various text based configurations on my machines. It’s important to track “every” change of these important files to prevent problems with service stability.
I decided to set up Subversion server and store all useful configurations from my Linux boxes there. For this purpose I wrote script svnci which is used to save/delete/update files from svn. You can off course save all necessary files to SVN by hand, but it’s quicker to write short parser for it.
