PiCluster is a simple way to manage Docker containers on multiple hosts. I created this
because I found Docker Swarm not that good and Kubernetes was too difficult to install currently on ARM.

PiCluster will only build and run images from Dockerfile’s on the host specified in the config file.

This software will work on regular x86 hardware also and is not tied to ARM.

This guy’s light bulb performed a DoS attack on his entire smart house

The challenge of being a futurist pioneer is being Patient Zero for the future’s headaches.
In 2009, Raul Rojas, a computer science professor at the Free University of Berlin (and a robot soccer team coach), built one of Germany’s first “smart homes.” Everything in the house was connected to the Internet so that lights, music, television, heating and cooling could all be turned on and off from afar. Even the stove, oven, and microwave could be turned off with Rojas’s computer, which prevented some potential panic attacks about leaving an appliance on after exiting the house. One of the few things not connected in the house were the locks. Automated locks Rojas bought in 2009 are still sitting in a drawer waiting to be installed. “I was afraid of not being able to open the doors,” Rojas said in a phone interview.

About two years ago, Rojas’s house froze up, and stopped responding to his commands. “Nothing worked. I couldn’t turn the lights on or off. It got stuck,” he says. It was like when the beach ball of death begins spinning on your computer—except it was his entire home.

It wasn’t quite as bad as the “nightmare on connected home street” dreamed up by Wired last year, in which a fictional smart home’s obsolete technology gets loaded up with viruses and malware and starts misbehaving and uploading naked photos of its owner. Rojas—a professor who specializes in artificial intelligence—knows his way around a network well enough to cure his own home. And, when he investigated, it turned out that the culprit was a single, connected light bulb.
“I connected my laptop to the network and looked at the traffic and saw that one unit was sending packets continuously,” said Rojas. He realized that his light fixture had burned out, and was trying to tell the hub that it needed attention. To do so, it was sending continuous requests that had overloaded the network and caused it to freeze. “It was a classic denial of service attack,” says Rojas. The light was performing a DoS attack on the smart home to say, ‘Change me.’”
Rojas changed the bulb, which fixed the problem. But his issue points to other potential problems for homeowners who opt for connected devices.

Show Notes:

Snowden Has Always Been ‘Ready’ to Return to the US

Ed Lookin Emo

Edward Snowden’s Russian lawyer reiterated today that Snowden is willing to return to the US, so long as he is given a fair trial, according to​ the AFP.

“He is thinking about it. He has a desire to return and we are doing everything we can to make it happen,” said Anatoly Kucherena, the AFP reports.

It may seem particularly notable that arguably the biggest whistleblower in the history of the US—and one of the few whose life hasn’t been completely r​uined by coming forward—wants to come home. But this has long be​en Snowden’s stance. In a​n interview with the New Yorker in October, for example, the NSA whistleblower said he tried to negotiate with the US government to ensure a fair and open trial.

“The question there was: would the American justice system be open to that?” Snowden told the New Yorker. “I have told the government again and again in negotiations that if they’re prepared to offer an open trial, a fair trial, in the same way that Dan Ellsberg got, and I’m allowed to make my case to the jury, I would love to do so.”

Insignificant ‘Putin critic’ gunned down by someone who hates Putin

Boris Nemtsov was shot in the back last night as he walked with his Ukrainian girlfriend near the Kremlin in Moscow. Nemtsov ran unsuccessfully for office in 1989 before eventually being elected to Russia’s parliament in 1990. As deputy minister for economic reform under Yeltsin, he failed to actually deliver economic reform amid the August 1998 economic crisis and it cost him his job.

In 1999 he founded the Union of Right Forces (SPS), along with fellow liberals Anatoly Chubais and Yegor Gaidar. The SPS was directly sponsored by the US government (via USAID) in 2002, after which it became openly critical of Russia’s new President Putin (surprise!). This fact alone establishes Nemtsov and SPS as agents of Western efforts to destabilize Russia and therefore not representative of any significant section of the Russian people. Indeed, in the 2003 election, the SPS failed to reach even the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament.

Virginia teen accused of being ISIS recruiter

17 Year old ISIS Recruiter

A 17-year-old Virginia student has been charged with helping recruit for ISIS, federal law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

The teen, whose name was not disclosed, was taken into custody last week, the officials said.

Prosecutors are seeking to charge him as an adult but currently have charged him as a juvenile, one of the law enforcement officials said.

The case remains under seal. It was first reported by The Washington Post on Wednesday.

The Post, citing officials and neighbors, reported that investigators spent more than a month watching the teen and his home before he was arrested. The teen is a “brilliant kid,” a man who hired him to write for a website told the Post. “His English wasn’t perfect, but I was willing to overlook that because the content was great.”

The teen, who lives in a Virginia suburb of Washington, is accused of helping a slightly older adult travel to Syria. The adult is believed to have joined ISIS there, a separate law enforcement official said.

Hillary Clinton Ran Homebrew Computer System For Official Emails

Hill Dog Checkin the Crackberry

It was not immediately clear exactly where Clinton’s computer server was run, but a business record for the Internet connection it used was registered under the home address for her residence as early as August 2010. The customer was listed as Eric Hoteham.

An aide to then-first lady Clinton was identified in a 2002 congressional report as Eric Hothem, whose name is spelled differently than in the Internet records. Hothem, a financial adviser in Washington, was not available to take an AP reporter’s phone call at his office Wednesday. He was a special assistant to Clinton as far back as 1997 and considered one of the family’s information technology experts.


Operating her own server would have afforded Clinton additional legal opportunities to block government or private subpoenas in criminal, administrative or civil cases because her lawyers could object in court before being forced to turn over any emails. And since the Secret Service was guarding Clinton’s home, an email server there would have been well protected from theft or a physical hacking.

New revelations about Clinton’s personal email account are
continuing to complicate matters for the Democratic Party’s
presumed nominee for president. The New York Times first reported
on the “hdr22@clintonemail.com” email address used by Clinton
while secretary of state. This immediately prompted inquiries as
to why a government-sanctioned account wasn’t used. The Federal
Records Act requires government employees to use departmental
servers for communications.


By operating her own server, Clinton may have been able to take advantage of “additional legal opportunities to block government or private subpoenas in criminal, administrative or civil cases because her lawyers could object in court before being forced to turn over any emails,” the AP journalists said.

A House committee investigating the Benghazi, Libya, attacks issued subpoenas Wednesday for the emails of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who used a private account exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — and also used a computer email server now traced back to her family’s New York home.

The first public sign of the email imbroglio now enveloping former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have come more than a month ago in an obscure court filing in a lawsuit demanding details of Clinton’s response to the attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

But all signs Tuesday pointed toward a protracted legal morass as advocacy groups, the courts and Congress try to determine whether Clinton’s practice denied them access to critical information during her four years in the Obama Cabinet and thereafter.


Clinton aides and State Department officials argued that the impact of her use of personal email on the government’s permanent files was limited because she turned over 55,000 pages of the emails in December at the department’s request. They also contend that most of Clinton’s work-related emails were preserved on work accounts used by other officials.

Insignificant ‘Putin critic’ gunned down by someone who hates Putin — Puppet Masters — Sott.net

Of course, the suggestion that Putin, with an 85% approval rating, would have thought it necessary to publicly assassinate a non-entity former politician who couldn’t muster 5% of the vote, on the doorstep of the Kremlin no less, and one day before an opposition rally in which the deceased was scheduled to take part, is utterly ridiculous**. The point being, by killing Nemtsov in this way, the reaction of Western governments and their media was always going to be as if Putin himself pulled the trigger and posted a selfie of the event on FB. Ergo, if, as the ranks of Western yellow journalists claim, Putin is responsible… where’s the freaking selfie!?? Maybe US State Dept. muppet Jen Psaki has it on her Facebook page?

The Dream Turns to a Nightmare:

The central conflict of domestic life right now isn\’t men versus women or mothers versus fathers; it\’s the family against money.

Achieving the elusive \”work-life balance\” can often feel like an impossible goal, especially for people who strive to give everything 100%. In today\’s \”do more with less\” competitive reality, how can we manage careers and families, and feel satisfied with both?

Expectations

The main problem with working from home is everyone\’s expectations.

  • your expectations* your family and friends expectations* your clients\’/ employer\’s expectations.

However, since more and more people have switched to working at home, there are still some wrinkles to be ironed out with respect to the general public\’s expectations.

Follow Up:

Apple has been slowly restoring their Developer Center, and today the company has sent out an email update to developers regarding the restorations to take place this week:

System76

Brought to you by: System76

What makes for a good server OS? A few important things to look for:

  • A deep repository of packages, that are reasonably current.
  • Good online support/community for howto’s and guides.
  • Good security.

I was not happy with my big storage options for Linux, I want a native kernel level implementation of ZFS, but I want the cutting edge software options of Linux.

I bought a FreeNAS Mini from iXsystems that I use as my backend storage apliance. In front of that I have an Ubuntu 12.04 that has an NFS mount to the ZFS storage on the FreeNAS Mini box.

Matt’s How-to:

Dedicated Home Partitioning

As you discussed during the howto segment, there is a bit flexibility to setting up your partitions. When setting up partitions for Ubuntu, I recommend the following setup.

  1. Choose Try Ubuntu, then run Gparted.

  2. If you have two drives attached, you will have two drives available from the pull down menu. Select the one you wish to use for your / and swap.

  3. Right click select on the unallocated space, choose new.

  4. With the new dialog open, choose the Ext4 file system, Extended partition, and place swap in the label. For the partition size, choose double the amount of your RAM. If you have 2 Gbs of RAM (2048 Mbs), then make the swap 4 Gbs. This will make you suspending your PC much smoother and lessen the likelihood of system crashing on resume. Leave the other options alone, click Add.

  5. Still with the system drive selected, next you’ll right click on the unallocated space and choose new.

  6. For the partition size, choose the remainder of the space available for that drive. This will be the larger unallocated space available, of the two visible. Select Primary partition, and place / in the label. Leave the other options alone, click Add.

  7. Now go back to top right of Gparted and toggle the second drive you’ve decided to use as a /home partition.

  8. For the partition size, choose the remainder of the space available for that drive. This will be the larger unallocated space available, of the two visible. Select extended partition, and place /home in the label. Leave the other options alone, click Add.

  9. With all of this done, click the green check mark at the top of Gparted. This will apply all of your settings changes.

  10. Start the installer. Click on continue until you come to the Erase everything or Something Else options. Choose Something Else.

  11. You will now see different partitions laid out before you. Below the drive designations, you will see actual “free space” areas, broken up into three sections. The smallest, is your swap. The other two will be your / and /home options.

  12. The smallest free space, should be at the top of the list. Click it, then click on Add.
    The only option you change here is the pulldown menu to select Swap Area. Then click Ok.

  13. The next free space in the list, should be the one I designated as the system partition. Click it, then click on Change. The only options you change here is the Use As Ext4, toggle format and the pulldown menu to select to / . Click Ok.

  14. The last one in the list, is going to be for /home. Click it, then click on Add. Now select the mount point as /home. Click Ok. NOTE: The home partition should only be selected to format is it’s brand new. For future installs, you will want to click on it in this dialog, make sure format is NOT selected, in the future.

  15. Make sure at the bottom of the dialog box, you’ve chosen to place the bootloader in the system selected hard drive. While we can also rely on the /boot option in partitioning, it’s rarely used for home systems.

  16. Now choose Install Now. You’re all done!
