The Flint2 aka GL-MT6000 router is my new router of choice…running OpenWRT based firmware, it is customizable, not locked down, not idiot proof. Thats great if you want, or need the ability to set up your home network the way you want. That’s me. Anyway, cool. I got one, configured it, everything works as expected. So, next obvious question – what can I do with this Linux machine? Can I monitor anything? Can I integrate it into my existing Munin based monitoring running on my home Linux server?
Yes, yes I can. This post describes how to make that happen.

Downloading local Blink videos
I have a couple Blink cameras and a sync 2 module. I don’t pay for the cloud storage, instead the videos are saved to the storage card on the sync module. That’s great except WOW is it painfully slow to view and managed those videos via the blink app.

Moving Day!
Moved up to a slightly larger VPS… which means moving everything over to a new system. I don’t do this often enough to remember the mojo every time. This post is just to remind me where I found all the answers yet again.

VPS Meltdown
I have had schettino.us hosted at Servermania for 9 years…. it was a good run, but at the end of November 2024 the VPS went offline. They tried to recover the hosting node, but in the end they declared the node dead, and all data lost.

And that’s a wrap!
It was fun (sometimes) and it was work (sometimes) and it was play (sometimes) but the absolute best part is… it’s over!
I remember (vaguely) back in highschool, 1979, taking Computer Math as an elective. I lasted two days in class, read the entire BASIC book in a week, and was promoted to just going to the lab instead of class. I was coding a space war game on a Commodore PET – I think I may still have the paper tape it is stored on. From that fall on I knew I would be able to actually have a job/career doing something I enjoyed. Very exciting time!
