![]() I have the script uploaded on my webserver, so you can just download it to your drive. We’re going to be using a simple script, as is described in the software’s readme file, with a slight alteration to make it work on our distribution. What we have to do now is set up an init script. This is where killproc comes in, which we installed earlier. Step 3: Running the DUC software on startupīy default, the DUC software will not start when you reboot your system. When it asks if you want to run anything on an update, you should probably just enter “No”. The configuration wizard will ask for your NoIP account details, as well as the host you want to be using. After installing it should immediately start the configuration wizard, which you can always restart using the command “ /usr/local/bin/noip2 -C“. Next it downloads the sources for the software and installs it. The commands above will first remove any previous source downloads for NoIP you might have had. The following commands will download and install the software: The software has to be built from source code, which is why we installed build-essential. Next you will have to download and install the DUC software itself. Execute the following commands:Īpt-get install build-essential python-setuptoolsĮasy_install killproc Step 2: Download and install the DUC software You will need some software to install and run the DUC software. As not to have to put sudo in front of all of them, it’s best to log in as root or switch to root with sudo su. You should execute all of the commands below as superuser. This tutorial explains how to install the NoIP DUC on a RaspberryPi running a Raspbian based distribution, but it will work on Ubuntu or any other Debian based distribution as well. Personally I like to use NoIP’s dynamic DNS services. It goes fairly deep into the pen to reach the pressure sensor. A lot of Q/A sites suggested taking the pen apart using tools and brute force to remove the tip, but not wanting to damage the expensive tool, I figured out that you can easily remove the tip by using some tweezers to just pull it out. This did indicate to me that it should be possible to replace the tip. After searching online, I found a new tip for roughly 8.50 EUR (or let’s say about 10 USD) on AliExpress, which I personally thought was a bit too expensive for a tiny piece of plastic. The pen included with the Surface Pro 3 does not have replaceable tips, so I got a bit worried. Unfortunately a while back I noticed that the tip of my Surface Pen started to bend a bit and I noticed it has a small crack, which fairly rapidly expanded as I used the pen. Some minor performance issue aside, I have really enjoyed using the device. Last year I purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablet. You often read about companies messing up with customer support, so I figured I’d write a short article to praise Microsoft for my great support experience. ![]() This means that before you can follow the default instructions to start a new Jekyll project, you will have to set up some prerequisites. So a lot of packages will not come pre-installed. The Ubuntu subsystem for Windows is fairly lightweight. With a good caching system, these pages can even be served up directly from the memory of the server. Essentially you are just reading a file from the filesystem and sending it through the HTTP socket to the requester. The big advantage of such websites is that they are very easy for a webserver to server up, as they require very little logic on the server to be executed. It is a Ruby-based platform which converts Markdown based files into static websites or even blogs. This package manager that comes preloaded with Ubuntu (and many other Debian based operating systems), makes it very easy to install open-source tools which on Windows typically require you to download and install them manually and often suffer from issues caused by the subtle differences between operating systems.Ī while ago I decided to check out Jekyll. One thing that I have found, this is very useful for, is leveraging the power of Apititude. At the same time, it integrates pretty well with the Windows environment, allowing you to easily access the file system. Personally I am a fan as it puts an entire Ubuntu operating system at your fingertips without the need to set up a Virtual Machine. Whether you are a fan or not, the Ubuntu subsystem for Windows is here to stay.
