Peter Seebach Pokes Around His TiVo

Posted by timothy on from the loosely-connected-scripts dept.

Warrior points out Peter Seebach's look into his Series 2 TiVo, writing "There are a lot of sites about 'hacking' the TiVo, to do this to it and that to it (and there's always the other thing too). After all, half the fun of owning something that runs Linux is to make it do something more (or different) than it was intended to do. But most of us only need so many Web servers (off the top of my head, I think I have 10 or 15 Web servers in my house already, including the embedded systems)."

    10-15 webservers? Wow! We, Slashdotters, have been asking "does it run Linux" for a loong time and now we have it.
    And now excuse me, I have to cross-compile apache for my wrist watch.

      Obviously the next step is to run a web server on a web server. Wouldn't that be cool?

      sadly... I once wrote a webserver in PHP didn't run for very long, the php apache module killed it after 30 seconds, but those were the most glorious 30 seconds ever

    just like half the fun of owning something that runs windows is to make it do something that it was intended to do
