I am on the latest version (2.2.2) and bridge is still there. Interfaces->(assign)->bridges.

If you plan to store the NAS in the fireproof safe offline then just get a big external HDD (or more than one, perhaps one per drive you have??) and just rotate it out. I would not recommend running it in the fireproof safe even if it could get cool enough, any holes you need for wires are going...

To whether it's more practical, I can't say as I have not had much experience with S/MIME. I can say that with PGP it will be hard for people to use it with things like phones (Never looked up whether there was an email client for android/iOS that supports PGP), if it can be done it won't be as...

PGP is an interesting one, I have tried to use it but since no one else does it kinda stopped. But keep in mind email clients like Thunderbird have built in support for PGP, letting you send email encrypted, signed, or with nothing. Plus all you have to do is setup a public facing repository for...

Ouch thats slow, I can understand why you don't want to do that with 12tb, though don't they let you do a seed backup by sending them a hard drive(s) with a backup already on it?? 12tb is a lot of space, you may have to do more than one external hard drive or you could use internal drives with...

Sense this all in your main computer I would use something like crashplan, backblaze, etc which are online backup services that are rather cheap. If you still want local I wouldn't build a server in the fireproof safe as that complicates things. Rather just keep a few external HDD and rotate...

Why not online backups?? Crashplan runs on FreeBSD and its rather cheap, even lets you use your own Blowfish encryption. You could also use Amazon Glacier storage, its rather cheap too at $0.01 per GB, free upload transfer and cheap download. 10TB is only about $10 a month plus its encrypted...

A true M.2 port is a PCIe port so those ssds can reach over gig speeds. This is whats inside an apple macbook pro but soldered on also in the mac pro but with a costume port. Is it faster then the 1tb ssd probably though i never looked at that SSD.

Newer TVs (aka smart tvs) can have apps for smart phones that can act as a remote so its all http based systems, same goes for high end amps, now if his tv and amp are old then it is all in his head unless some one is using a high powered inferred beam to control it. I would have to agree...

If a hacker has gained access to his network AND his stereo and TV both have features for using network remote (only one could but they would have to be connected and both supporting CEC). Tell him the love of god to change the default password for wifi and router admin, blus use only WPA or...

May i ask why you wanted to virtualize Mac OS X?? I even think they killed off the server version.

i always have problems getting kinect working well with my PCs, I imagine it could be very easy to write some code in python that looked for input and send it as ether keyboard or in the case of XBMC, using the JSON API.

I just love open source software and XBMC is really nice when setup well, very feature filed, lacks somethings that windows may have but over all its great, and thats changing fast.

the differences between OS in XBMC are minimal and results should be the same across all platforms. I mean I have seen it run on a android tablet streaming TV and android is a very new platform and has a lot of issues with performance already. Like I said It just got main lined so there could...

I have only experience with TvHeadend and MythTV. Also cant blame XBMC for the backends, problems maybe due to configuration errors on one end or the other, who knows, most of the backend plugins in XBMC have been tested heavily but there could still be problems, i mean PVR just got added to...

XBMC was never meant for a backend, hence the amazingly customizable GUI. The Frontend is as easy as enabling PVR and inputting a few settings and connection info. FIOS does not use IP to deliver the streams, the ONT box converts it to cable which is then sent to the boxes, the provided...

Another vote for Amahi, great peace of software. Used it on a server for a while till i move to IO+napp-it, does a lot more then WHS and have great addons, may not be as plug and play as WHS but its not hard to use at all.

XBMC uses python for addons so its really easy to pick up, but C/C++ for XBMC itself. XBMC just got PVR function backed in but as a frontend, model would be using a backend that would handle the tv feeds then pass them to (multiple) xbmc client(s). It supports a wide range of backends, some...

Clonezilla, Its a linux live CD with a menu to clone drives. its not supper easy to use, strait forward, but not easy there are a lot of options that can mess up a clone. I used it once to clone a drive (250gb to 500gb hdd) and missed one option, which was to adjust the partition table (should...

Cant help you with the cam, haven't looked at them in years, but i can answer your questions: 1) Youtube does auto formate the videos so no worry there 2) the Best quality possible/rational, you can even do 4k videos if you have them, youtube will take care of encoding them for the website...

Yup, Running one right now. A few Suggestions: 1) get a good power supply it is the number one problem that people face because if it can deliver the right voltages and amps the Pi will have problems. It can cause USB problems, Ethernet Problems, and just not have it work at all. Also if you...

6TB is a lot of storage, personally i would stick that in a NAS rather then directly to the pi. I need to get a small HDD to put the root partition to boost some of the performance.

That is a nice setup man, very clean. thats a lot of storage attached to, are you running any part of the OS on there or is that still on the SD card??

The pics are not loading for me...

I have a class 10 8gb SD card, now i would say the icelibrary had a lot of library entries so you probably will be fine if you do care about thumbnails to much as they are what really slows it down.

Now i have not tried it on a 512md pi but my 256 pi can have problems when loading a large library, i think its mostly due to IO of SD card which means an external HDD might help, what happens is it gets very lagy, best option is to use list mode if your library is too large that way there is...

Still have not gotten mine. ( no time to mess with them now so i have not ordered). I have not heard of the issues with the firmware and the split. well at least they fixed it. Thats an odd error from the utils-linux. hmm. very strange. thats a core package that is used for a lot of...

now this is really cool. I wonder if they will add support for PVR systems like MythTV and TvHeadend. that would make it an amazing option. or at least make a PVR addon for XBMC.

ya they can defiantly hold their own. although i am having some I/O problems due to running everything off an SD im probably going to move to an external HDD here soon.

Ya i heard, now im going to have to setup everything all over again :D Rrrr. I'm surprised they where able to add this in so soon, it was always going to increase but i wasn't expecting till next year at the earliest. still happy though although this means there goes another $70 + tax +...

Nice, im defiantly getting some of those. I wonder how well the RPi would do with submersion cooling, That could make for a really nice case, and acrylic case filled with mineral oil and a submerged RPi with LEDs.

Thanks, Those Enzotech Heatsinks look nice, defiantly going to look in to them.

Nice, hey what heat sink model did you use, i need to buy a few for my Pis Thanks

Yes the Ethernet runs through the on board USB hub (thats why A only has one USB, no hub). from what i have seen the only thing to really change is the RAM manufacture, but i could be wrong, but i would assume they are always using the same chipset or else there might be driver problems. Well...

That could could be the problem, but i suspect it may be the usb hub, as the Ethernet is the same on all boards, only time i would think that it would give you a problem would be if it was a bad board and needed to be sent back fro a replacement. sense all the other distros work just fine its...

That is a nice case with a good layout, to bad i dont have my LEGOs anymore. As to the errors, when i did a restart i did have errors but the ones your having mine are due to block errors on the SD (im blaming icelibrary - to much meta data for it) Its strange that RaspBMC doesnt work but...

That is very odd, the screen looks the same as mine, but i have never payed enough attention to see if there where any errors, if there where it still gets to XBMC and runs just fine. The only problems i have had with it where of my own doing like overriding the Raspbmc Settings addon when...

Ya Raspberry pi does a good job with most things. Just updated to RC5 of RaspBMC. i can say it was amazingly smooth out the door, with no overlcocks. Its working well even with the normal skin. im using IceLibrary with mine and its scraping all the movies again but it works well. Im at a...

I love using arch but its not for everyone, its a build it your self distro you have to do everything your self, all it gives you is the basics plus a package manager. Raspbain or rather debain is a full fledge os and the only reason that it gives an option to install a GUI or not is because...

Looks nice. Mine is just taped to the wall above the TV... I will say after a nice overclock (no overvolt) to 900mhz it runs nicely with the refocus skin. GPU core = 300mhz (the GUI reports it at 200 but config.txt it says 300). i have not overclocked the memory so that could be a performance...
