Got an IP camera to livestream to Youtube using Blue Iris as the video streaming application. There were a few bumps, for example why does my stream run for several hours/days then suddenly quit? The answer to that question is here
Yesterday I bought a new “cruncher”: a Dell AMD Ryzen 7 1700 with an AMD Radeon RX 580. As soon as I got home I removed Windows 10 and installed Ubuntu 16 (tried 17 on this node but had issues). This PC required the installation of new AMD GPU PRO driver support because Einstein@Home did […]

Ubuntu is a more stable “release” platform and should continue on until 2017 with ongoing support. Ubuntu’s implementation of some servers is quite a bit different from a configuration perspective when compared to Fedora. […]
