OpenELEC (4.0.1) WIFI connection details using `connman`

Even though there is a nice XBMC add-on to configure your WIFI settings, sometimes, you may still want to setup the WIFI connection for many reasons or just for fur.

OpenELEC use connman for managing connection to the various available network.

Setuping connman to connect to your protected WIFI network is an easy requiring you only to create a config file and enter some commands in a shell.

A Löve2D main.lua bootstrap file for Moonscript. This loads main.moon during development so moonc isn't required. It also has the nice side effect of automatically being overwritten when moonc is run so the game is ready to be distributed.

DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO THIS FILE!
This file will purposefully overwritten when moonc is run. However it provides
an easy way to do Moonscript development without having to use moonc to compile
to Lua.

Instructions for setting up git server on Synology Diskstation

Configure Synology NAS as Git Server

Instructions for setting up a git server on a Synology NAS with Diskstation. Specifically, I am using a DS414 with DSM 5.0.

Set Up User and Folder

  • Create user gituser via Diskstation interface (with File Station and WebDAV privilages)
  • Add new shared folder called git (located at /volume1/git) with read/write access for gituser and admin. This folder will hold all the repos.
  • Install Git Server package via Diskstation
