I am Goran Mekić, and I'm Freenit developer, FreeBSD user/hacker and guitar player
It's bad to start your post with an apology, but I must: this one won't deal with FreeBSD as much as set some foundation for the posts to come.
The base for a good digital audio workstation, or DAW for short is audio interface. That is the piece of equipment …

By now you know how to manage jails with Makefile. It's nice, but I took it a bit further this past few months. I realized that Makefile can effectively replace Vagrant, so I created program called Reggae: REGister Globaly Access Everywhere. In short it consists of few scripts that (de …

My wife and I went from Hamburg to Belgrade on 31st December. We had connected flights and from Hamburg we went to Zurich. In Zurich we realized my wife lost her passport. The situation is hilarious looking back, but totally not fun while it's happening. So, her passport fell from …
