raspi 3 and usb hard drive

Using a 16GB sd card for a basic cli raspbian system (no desktop environment whatsoever) is more than enough. However, it is very limited to really enjoy the awesome minidlna software I installed. So I ended up attaching a 1TB usb hard drive to my raspi 3.

The first thing to notice is that the power supply works fine supporting both devices (raspi and hard drive).

The second thing is that I can now finally enjoy the UPnP service for hours and hours during these cold winter afternoons.

Note: I've been watching SG Atlantis all afternoon. What a great Saturday :)

raspi 3

My raspi 2 suddenly stopped working for an $unknown_reason I only know it lost ssh connection all the time. So I decided to get a raspi 3.

It arrived on November 24th. You could have seen me broadcast on irc the steps from the moment I put my hands on it until I finally plugged it in:

Its hostname is kiwi (legacy name from its predecesor)

(Note: Is is plugged to a 900va UPS so that it can actually work 24/7)

Which film are we going to see today?

Last Wednesday I went to the movie theater with a good old friend of mine. We had been exchanging a dozen text messages trying to decide which film we were going to see. There were many many films to choose from: Ben-Hur, Pets, Cafe Society and some more. I wanted to see Suicide Squad more than any other, and when we arrived at the place here is what we saw. It was clear, we had to see it. By the way, it was great, I quite liked it.
