Re: how to make raspberry to get internet via wired lan

The file /etc/network/interfaces has auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.6.63 netmask 255.255.240.0 gateway 172.16.0.1 broadcast 172.06.0.1 Is that broadcast address a typo? Are you on Jessie? If so you should use kolban's way to set a static address. Exec...

Re: How do i clone a bigger SD card to smaller one ?

Greetings. I did copied a smaller system to a bigger partition, with rsync. I think it would work on a smaller one either. I couldn't be sure on the command line, it could be "rsync -avx". -a means archive mode, details in "man rsync" -x means don't cross file system border, as there could be some m...

When you configured your static IP, did you tell it the gateway address and DNS address as well?

Greetings. I couldn't enlarge your pictures.

Re: Total Refresh

It comes to my mind that, while the physical universe particle has an Uncertainty principle out there, the computer's memory has finite bit states, and can be known accurately. Is that means 1 What could a computer system do is finite. 2 More memory, more things could a computer system done. ?

The SDCard is the long term storage, it's the equivalent of a hard disk on any other computer and is connected on an input/output device. There's either 256MB, 512MB or 1GB of random access memory (RAM) which is tightly coupled to the processor. Let's talk about our understanding of the universe. :...
