Ubuntu + Windows 10 dualboot with LUKS encryption
  • Based on https://gist.github.com/mdziekon/221bdb597cf32b46c50ffab96dbec08a
  • Installation date: 16-08-2019
  • Additional notes based on my own experience
  • EFI boot
  • Ubuntu 19.04 -> 21.04
  • This should work on any computer. Only the RAID > AHCI change described below and the device name for the nvme ssd drive are specific to this laptop.
  • The process describes a completely fresh installation with complete repartitioning, however it should work fine when Windows is already installed (eg. brand new machine with Windows preinstalled) as long as Windows already boots with EFI.
  • The process was conducted on Dell's XPS 15 9560 (2017) with specs:
  • CPU: i7-7700HQ

Workarounds for Netflix and the blocking of Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnels

The dreaded "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy." error message. Cool story bro.

This gist was essentially created out of my own rant about Netflix being hostile to IPv6 tunnel services since June 2016. You are welcome to read my opinion on the matter, this is the more technical side to the issue and how to combat it within your own network.

# How to install `ipkg` on a Synology DS214
After a couple of days of trying to get `ipkg` woking on my DS214 I found [this article](https://github.com/trepmag/ds213j-optware-bootstrap) by [trepmag](https://github.com/trepmag).
