by
Thanks to some lucky bitcoin investments, I decided it was time to finally upgrade to a 4k TV within the last few weeks. And since I try to do all my shopping online, I opted to take the risk, and try a online order for a wide screen TV – understanding the risks associated with…

In my solution, I have a FreeNAS server, which holds a pair of Ubuntu virtual machines, each of which run pieces of the overall…
