WAN Failover Plan Using Static NAT

October 2, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

This is a potential failover solution that allows for relative ease of WAN failover using manual switching (upon WAN1 failure, entire network must be connected to WAN2 router) with the potential for automatic failover using round-robin DNS or cron to edit DNS entries.

Accessing American Media Streaming Services Abroad

Aside October 1, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

There are several popular media streaming services that are only accessible in the United States- Pandora, Hulu, Spotify, and a great deal of Netflix content. This media is basically barred due to copyright issues, so, those of us who enjoy consuming american content but don’t live there are inherently out of luck. Were not totally out of luck though – there are several ways to circumvent this issue.

Please note that I am not entirely sure the legality of doing this, so please consider the information as theoretical only. Continue reading Accessing American Media Streaming Services Abroad →

Bitcoin: Data Cost

Aside October 3, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

Somehow my blkindex.dat file became corrupt the other day so I got a little nervous as I remember that one .dat file contained all my bitcoins – within a split second I realized this is the wallet.dat file so I quickly backed it up again for added piece of mind. While in the bitcoin data directory I noticed the size of the blkindex.dat file was over 1 gigabyte! And then the blk0001.dat was 2GB, blk0002.dat was another GB! Let’s not forget about debug.log – another gigabyte. Over 5GB to be able to use the currency? And how many people are using the currency? A lot. This is a problem that is inherently created due to the nature of the currency. But what are some possible solutions? Continue reading Bitcoin: Data Cost →
