Pushover notification for Transmission
I have transmission-damemon running headlessly on my NAS server and I have set up a Pushover notification for the completed downloads: #!/bin/sh TOKEN="Secret_Token" USER="Unique_User_ID" /usr/local/bin/curl -s \ --form-string "user=$USER" \ --form-string "token=$TOKEN" \ --form-string "message=Kesz: $TR_TORRENT_NAME" \ https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json You can enable this script adding the following line to settings.json: "script-torrent-done-enabled": true, "script-torrent-done-filename": "/usr/local/etc/transmission/home/bin/pushover.sh", I also use Pushover for the smartmontools daily checks, but instead of...

Prebuilt bootloaders

Basics of Forth
Forth is a tiny programming language which can run interactively even on the smallest, cheapest, low-power microcontrollers. It is a REPL (Read–eval–print loop) system, which means it gives you a prompt where you type your commands in and it gets executed as soon as you press the ENTER key. If you want to learn Forth you will have to get used to its cryptic syntax...

Mounting the NAS SMB is overkill, so i use...
