Lego Volkswagen T2

I’ve been building the Lego Volkswagen T2 🛒#ad and took some pics about the final result and the comparison with the T1. Feelings: The rear door (above the motor) dismantles itself just by looking at it, the mechanism is interesting as it uses some sticks that get inserted inside the support, but the frame holding it, specially in the upper side is really weak… The sliding door on the side is nice, and has a mechanism to ‘open it’ by pushing a small button in the lower part of the van The bed opens a bit better than on T1, which also was easy to get dismantled, same as the table that can be folded which is a lot nicer. The details on the fridge are really nice, and the one with the gas seems just to cover the spot The steering wheel is not just decorative.. as with recent Creator Expert series, it actually moves the front wheels. The roof, instead of being ‘pushed’ or ‘dropped’, has a sliding mechanism that holds it to the lower part, so in order to remove it, you need to open the rear door, and then slide it out. Interestingly it also has a spring that keeps the roof open. Enjoy! (and if you do, you can Buy Me a Coffee ) ...

Unsupported upgrade for RHEL-based distributions without reinstallation

Most systems, based on RHEL, were not able to upgrade without reinstallation, or best said, not supported. The new version, that was released at around 18 months later contained so many changes that it was hard to test the upgrades themselves until leapp was introduced. Check the lifecycle here: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata However, the biggest problem could be the incompatibility of packages or package formats… but as usually there were some middle layers it was possible to upgrade without reinstallation by performing some manual steps. ...

Logitech R400 remote presentation controller on Linux

Since long ago I had it in my mind getting one remote presenter, but most presenters just had two buttons, and the ones that looked to be valid for my use case, required four and seems that only Rii had similar devices, but I didn’t went for it as it was not a huge need, so I ended up with a mini keyboard I had for Raspberry Pi and some debugging in case I had that need. ...

Ansible setup for VPN using WireGuard

Setting up WireGuard is not a difficult process but I wanted to automate it among hosts by using a simple playbook that can be executed against the hosts and get it configured and deployed in a simple way. I also wanted to require the minimum possible number of values in the inventory, so tried to automate lot of the information required, leaving in the end only some required values: wireguard: True wgrole: 'master' or 'something else' wgport: port number to use The first step was to create the private and public key once the wireguard package is installed. ...
