How to stream a webcam to a web browser in Ubuntu

Grr this took hours to figure out. I was trying to install MJPG-streamer and running VLC command lines and all this crap but nothing worked.

First install motion:

~> sudo apt-get install motion

Then create a config file:

~> mkdir ~/.motion

~> nano ~/.motion/motion.conf

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

How To TCP NAT Traversal using Node.js and a STUN Server

How To TCP NAT Traversal using Node.js and a STUN Server

With the scarecity of IPv4 addresses, and IPv6 still not available at large, NAT traversal is becoming a necessity. Especially with the generalisation of Carrier-grade NATs that you can find on mobile connections. Even with IPv6 you may suffer NAT66. Imagine your mobile device that gets only a single Ipv6 address, and you want to share it on your computer.

The solution might be in a decentralized protocol for address attribution such

HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

The standard way of understanding the HTTP protocol is via the request reply pattern. Each HTTP transaction consists of a finitely bounded HTTP request and a finitely bounded HTTP response.

However it's also possible for both parts of an HTTP 1.1 transaction to stream their possibly infinitely bounded data. The advantages is that the sender can send data that is beyond the sender's memory limit, and the receiver can act on

Installing ModelSim on Ubuntu

ModelSim Installation issues

Ubuntu 14.xx and above

Ignore this if you have not encountered any issue with the installation and running of ModelSim and Quartus on your system. You are very lucky. (Just Kidding! You have surely had this issue, only sorted.)

Hence assuming you have been following the procedure given in this guide. Most certainly, Quartus will install jsut fine, and so will ModelSim. The issue is in launching due to inappropriate linking etc.

Stage 1

This is the simplest error you would encounter. Navigate to the modelsim_ase folder and run:
