• How to migrate a Raspberry Pi SD card to a bigger SD Card

    Snazzy title, James.

    I recently bought a 200GB SD card from Amazon for what I consider to be a completely crazy price (around $80USD). My Raspberry Pi 3 is running OwnCloud (howto post coming soon) and the 32GB card currently serving as the OS’ home is a little on the small side. It’s also quite an old card, so I’m worried it will one day up and die.

    Here’s a quick step-by-step on how to move your SD card to a bigger one, using a Mac with OSX El Capitan (or basically any Unix based computer with an SD card reader).

  • Regex for private-ASN on Junos

    Hi, super quick note to share something I’ve made to match 2 Byte Private ASN numbers (64512-65535) in Junos. You can apply it to match a community, or in an AS-PATH.

  • RYU Faucet (SDN Controller) on Raspberry Pi

    I think I finally have a use for one of my 3 Raspberry Pi computers - an SDN controller.

  • Select an IPv6 address with a double-click in PuTTY

    This ranks highly on the nerd-alert scale, but anyway, here we are.

    Putty has a nice feature where you can select a word with a double click. It’s really handy, especially when you are dealing with IPv4 prefixes. It doesn’t work with IPv6 addresses by default. You can edit what Putty uses as a delimiter, under Settings -> Selection.

  • FreeRADIUS 3 on Ubuntu 14.04 - some notes

    Ugh. Nothing worse than setting out to install something relatively simple (like FreeRADIUS) only to find the documentation confusing, inconsistent and contradictory. FreeRADIUS has some pretty decent documentation for the actual operation of the software, but getting things going up-front can be a real mission, especially, if, like me, you’ve never done it before. I’m writing this as I go. My goal is to have a FreeRADIUS server running on my server, which I can use to test RADIUS functionality with some lab routers - Juniper MX480, MX960 and M120s.
