How to stream the London 2012 Olympics

How to stream the London 2012 Olympics

There have been several HOWTOs posted regarding streaming the 2012 Olympics using HTTP / SOCKS proxies via SSH and other similar methods. None of these actually work using the latest Flash on Mountain Lion (with Firefox, Chrome or Safari). Additionally, the third-party streaming sites don't provide BBC's amazing interface, which lets you quickly skip to individual competitors and events. However, setting up an OpenVPN server does work, with some tweaks. You'll get the exact same UX that people in England receive.

Setup Postgres.app to use PostGIS on OS X

Download and Install Postgres.app

Before we can setup PostGIS we need to have a local version of Postgresql installed and running. The most effecient way to do this is to download and install Postgres.app.

Spatially Enable your Postgres Database

Once Postgres.app is installed in your computers /Applications directory. Open the Terminal and enter the following two commands

psql -d DATABASE_NAME -f /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/share/postgresql/contrib/postgis-2.1/postgis.sql

Getting lirc to work with Raspberry Pi 3 (Raspbian Stretch)
Notes to make IR shield (made by LinkSprite) work in Raspberry Pi 3 (bought from Amazon [1]).
The vendor has some documentation [2] but that is not complete and sufficient for Raspbian Stretch.
Following are the changes that I made to make it work.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lirc
# Add the following lines to /etc/modules file
lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17
