- https://jenssegers.com/43/Realtek-RTL8188-based-access-point-on-Raspberry-Pi hostapd for my realtek wireless that doesn't support nl80211
Notes:
- Custom hostapd doesn't seem to install as on-boot service correctly, had to force installation
# update-rc.d hostapd enable
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting!
# insserv -v -r hostapd
# insserv -v -d hostapd
- RTL8188 or my device or whatever doesn't support multiple bssids. So sad.
- Next step: openvpn routing link to main smrshnet
Ducks and databases
Thing I learned today:
Duck typing is a cute name for the very powerful (and lazy) object typing method of not caring what you're handed and running your code on it anyway.
Accomplishment:
First pull request on someone else's project on github.

Ubuntu
Because it's good for you.
That is all.
Edit: I have been using Ubuntu almost exclusively since starting my new job, 2 months ago. I love it. It definitely requires a little bit more comfort with the way computers work than a cotton-candy operating system such as Windows or OSX. However, once you get over the intimidation of a black terminal (and practice a little with vimtutor) it's really a very nice operating system for the up-and-coming technical elite. I'm sure once I get more comfortable with it, I may find that I enjoy some of the more "Hard Core" Linux flavors, as I believe Ubuntu is considered "cotton-candy" in the Linux world. However, for someone who is just getting their feet wet in the Dark Side Hot Tub, I'm quite pleased.
