{play 36:14}Viewer Questions
Viewer Question: Why don't you use Hootsuite?
Viewer Question: In 2006 I took it upon myself to learn Linux. Is there any script or application to clean up Linux sound systems, fixing the mix of ALSA, PulseAudio, OSS, etc?
Viewer Comment: I'm not installing Adobe Flash for political reasons, but also technical ones (it's crappy software). This means I can't watch live. I think YouTube works with Gnash.
- Why Robbie thinks non-free software is sometimes important, and we shouldn't be over-the-top about using free-as-in-freedom software since some application developers simply don't want to release proprietary code--but want you to be able to use their tools.
Viewer Comment: I chose to use Freenas instead of unRAID because I found unRAID to have poor performance.
- Robbie defends unRAID, and its performance. Suggestion: Cache drive.
- Viewer Comment: ZFS is the best filesystem.
Viewer Question: I setup a ReadyNAS NV+ on my network but can't backup to it from Linux. Can you help?
- Creating an smbfs mounted connection using fstab from Episode 266.
Viewer Question: Is there a way to watch Category5 Technology TV on Roku now that they've removed YouTube? Yes! Install the Blip.tv app.
Viewer Question: I was watching an episode of Category5 where you were demonstrating some things with Wirecast. Very informative! My question is, when I record to disk using Wirecast, how do I get that video onto a playable DVD? Do I have to convert the Wirecast recorded file to something different?
- Recording to disk in Wirecast is going to save to whatever file format you specified when creating the record to disk profile.
- What a DVD video disk requires in order to be playable on your TV.
- Using DeVeDe lets you convert video files to DVD format (Windows, Linux or Mac). Get it here: DeVeDe for Linux (Main Site), DeVeDe for Windows
Viewer Question: Does anyone know of a good hard drive repair application?
Viewer Comment: If you can get around having to use the modern UI, I find that Windows 8 really does perform better than previous versions of Windows.
