Hey all! Just a quick note. This blog is going to move. Its moving to my own dedicated server (run on my now famous ESXi server) which will be so much better. Faster, more secure, and more stable! The new blog is still under construction, but you can already check …
Most home networks consist of a DSL modem which connects to a WLAN router and thats it. While this works, its rather boring. So why not pimp things up a little?
Building the perfect home server requires careful planning and research. This post details my setup in detail, useful for anyone wanting to go down the same path.
There are a ton of note apps for Android and there’s going to be one more pretty soon. YubiNotes comes with a few tricks up its sleeve though and a twist or two.
Binder ICP in Android is a backbone of Android internals. Its basically a kernel driver and a handful of components and its one of the biggest pieces that makes Android an Object-oriented Operating System. Binder IPC is used for inter-process communication.

I love my Nexus 4. However, I find the default display colors a bit washed out. I started tinkering with the color config in the kernel, and read up on the color discussions on XDA. I landed on a result I find satisfying and I must say I think the …

My Arducopter project took a serious hit to the gut after a brutal crash caused by a mid-air power failure last summer. While I’ve been too busy to dedicate a lot of time to fixing it up, its now back in the air, looking better than ever and flying like …
Fuel planning is an essential part of any serious flight simulator flight. There are currently plenty of websites and tools that help you along, but there are no Android apps that job the job. That’s about to change.
It took me about 10 seconds to get sold on the idea behind the YubiKey. Basically, its a USB stick that emulates a keyboard and have a dual purpose button. Depending on how long you hold your finger on the button you will get either a one time use password, or a static password that is repeated. Essentially, when these keys are coupled with a service that supports them, you will have two factor authentication that can be very difficult to crack.
I have now done a complete security overhaul of the server. A part of that process was to disable unwanted services and impose additional restrictions on the services that are actually running. If anyone experiences any fatal issues, please let me know
