Native DivX/Xvid support on the Xbox 360!
AT LAST! After a quick cleanup of my WMP 11 library, I fired up the Xbox 360 and found all the videos on my PC are playable! Maybe I can finally get rid of the old Xbox 1 brick from underneath the TV…
Building a transparent traffic-shaping bridge
I’ve recently had the need to create a box capable of transparently traffic-shaping traffic across a single ethernet connection. Normally, I’d go for some kind of Linux solution, but after doing a bit of research it looked like one of the BSD’s with pf/ALTQ would be the way to go.
