Stupid Little Projects when I'm Bored

Sometimes I Leave the House I go to work, to friends and sometimes just wonder around London. So what happens when a new post r/opendirectories appears, and I gotta grab me the new Marvel bullshit so I can take the piss out of it? For this to work we need external access. Port Forwarding Before I head into the world of port forwarding I'd just like to say that I am not a fan at all. Anything open is a way into you system and network, that being said here is how you do it. All of your devices are on a Local Area Network, that then goes out onto the internet to get stuff like dank memes and bring them back. Your router does the job of looking at who requested something and therefore whom to deliver to. Also your LAN appears on the internet as a single external IP address. So this leads to 2 questions: If sending to an external IP how does it know what internally it needs to send to? It doesn't But what about sending information in without a prior request? We...

Well SSH is Boring I have got my RPi download machine up and running and having success, unfortunately though SSH is annoying and tedious, so I am gonna do something about it. But a disclaimer; this is my first time working with Aria2 in the most part. RPC  Remote Procedure Call is fancy way of saying 'make this thing make that thing do a thing'. So I ran the command to load the config file (and added to my init file) in the last post and ..... BOLLOCKS ALL. So ran the command again, and need to check the processes (like Task Manager). pi@raspberrypi : ~ $  ps aux | grep aria2c root       524  0.0  0.9  17028  9284 ?        Ss   21:21   0:00 aria2c --conf-path=/home/pi/.aria2/aria2.conf pi        1008  0.0  0.2   4272  1948 pts/0    S+   21:34   0:00 grep --color=auto aria2c There it is, that little scumbag. But still no dice....

Yet Another Raspberry Pi Project Kodi builds, weird fucking robots and classic gaming always seems to be the theme of RPi projects. But a stat I would like to know is how many are just sat in a drawer somewhere. Anyway I am part of that number, until now. I manage to find a 4TB drive and managed to blag a caddy, so with this triangle of 'crap hanging around' I thought I'd build a downloader. Open Directories So I first had the idea from the sub-reddit open directories , here storage devices are opened up to the internet without a morsel of authentication. Google comes along and indexes them and you can go and find them. Decent ones find themselves on this sub of which I assume stays up until the user realises that there broadband is getting absolutely raped. So I wanted to be able to get a URL from a server and just throw it in a WebUI and get it to auto download and ping me when all is finished.  First Steps So to start off I downloaded Raspbian ...
