I recently had an issue where my laptop went into standby mode while I was running some command on my Raspberry Pi over ssh, and whenever I tried to ssh into the Pi again, the session would hang (the terminal would become unresponsive, even to +C, and had to be force closed).
After a lot of research, I managed to find the following command, which allowed me to solve the issue:
ssh user@machine /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1000
The Pi responded with an error, but that solved the issue.

How to configure Mullvad VPN on a Synology NAS
14 01 2018After a long research, I recently signed up for a monthly subscription with Mullvad VPN (read more about them here https://thatoneprivacysite.net/2017/10/03/mullvad-review/).
Since I own a Synology NAS which I set up to user Sonarr and Transmission, I wanted to configure it to use the VPN. I found a few tutorials online, but they were outdated and did not work.
After a quick chat with Mullvad’s tech support, I finally managed to make it work.
Here’s how:
- Go to: https://mullvad.net/en/download/config/
- Input your account number, select Android as a platform, and a region to use
- Download the .ovpn configuration file
- Edit this file, removing the inlined crl section
- Log in to your Synology DiskStation, go to Control Panel > Network
- Network Interface > Create > Create VPN profile
- Select “OpenVPN (via importing a .ovpn file)”
- ‘Username’ is your account number, ‘Password’ is “m”
- Import the .ovpn file we modified earlier, leave ‘CA certificate’ empty; click ‘Next’
- Select all 3 tickboxes in the ‘Advanced settings’ page; click ‘Apply’
- Right click on the newly created connection, select ‘Connect’

Nintendo WaveBird Cleanup and Restoration
4 01 2017Once upon a time, I purchased a not-so-well-preserved WaveBird controller for my GameCube. Today I finally did justice to it.
The poor controller before the treatment: dirt, sweat and generic gunk had accumulated pretty much everywhere on its surface. What was the previous owner thinking?

20 04 2010DISCLAIMER:
I know this stuff is old (Ubuntu 10.04 is coming soon) and probably you can find better guides online.
I just wanted to upload here some content from my old site .
FYI, I am not currently using the VAIO, but I’d like to suggest you some resources if you want to successfully install linux on your classy laptop:
