Pocket is Dead - Long live Instapaper

 Another of my favorite tools / apps is going... now it hit Pocket.

I've written about it on this blog a bit. And quite a while ago.

Well, it was a work-horse for me for years... And now I was forced to look for an alternative.

Well, that didn't take a lot of time... Just picked Instapaper which I was eyeing back in the days already 

Data export from Pocket and import into Instapaper (via .zip file on the PC) was straightforward and easy.

Apps for Android & iOS are here and quite similar, and there are browser extensions for one-click adding/saving articles.

Looking good so far.

 

And it got integration into IFTTT, which i was using a lot with pocket, just to autosave some articles into my reading queue... Seems to work equally well now.

Set fixed IP on LibreElec on RaspBerry

Well, go to settings ... duuuh.

Yeah, alright, but what if I have to run headless, i.e. not have a monitor or TV attached.

So as long as you can ssh into it (i.e. you know the current IP address) you can do

connmanctl config "$(connmanctl services | awk '/^\*/ {print $3}')" --ipv4 manual 10.0.0.22 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

The "inner" connmanctl finds the service name for the active IP connection, the "outer" one changes it to the new IP
