Peeqo – The GIF Bot

Peeqo – the GIF Bot

Peeqo is a personal desktop robotic assistant who expresses himself through GIFs. Think of him as the love child of Amazon Echo and a Disney character. He has a conversational UI, so he responds to voice commands but answers only through GIFs.

Desktop App Pick

Tixati

This is a special build of Tixati meant to run on USB flash-drives or other portable media. It is self-contained and keeps all configuration files within it’s executable folder, and stores all paths in a format relative to the executable binary file. Executable binaries for both Linux and Windows are included, and the configuration files are platform-neutral.

Noah,

I about jumped out of my chair when you started talking about the Exchange migration. We are going to be moving off of our Exchange server very soon. We are moving off of a 2007 Exchange server because it is not supported after Office 2013. I’m currently trying to push my company away from O365 to something like Google. There is the obvious Linux bias, but I’ve also heard enough horror stories from friends who have already moved to O365 that I want to avoid it if at all possible.

I hope you cover this migration for show content especially the user experience after the move. The post migration user experience is one of the biggest concerns with moving to Google.

Thank you for hard work and insight you bring to the show.

Hey Chris and Noah!

I have just recently found your network and shows and have been listening to them and trying to catch up with all the previous epiisodes of Linux Action Show at the moment. I work for my father at his small business as a union plumber and system admin. I have been trying to get the okay to switch his file server from Windozes to Linux with the superior file systems and better stability, Windozes has to be restarted every week or performance goes too all hell and is utterly slow, but the only thing holding him from pulling the trigger and giving me the okay to finally switch is quickbooks. I remember Noah saying some about a quickbooks alternative in the early 400’s episodes with system 76 being its parent company. We file host the company file and he doesn’t like other people and their computers “the cloud” handling his data especially for his company. The way Noah explained it even though he has the software company do the hosting is that you could host it yourself if you wanted
and I think this might be just the thing I need to convince my father to start the switch.

Ps. keep up the amazing work guys love your show and all the content you bring!

Your loyal listener,
Max

Desktop App Pick

Lsyncd (Live Syncing Daemon) synchronizes local directories with remote targets

Lsyncd watches a local directory trees event monitor interface (inotify or fsevents). It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes. By default this is rsync. Lsyncd is thus a light-weight live mirror solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or block devices and does not hamper local filesystem performance.

Google Is Developing A New Open Source OS Named “Fuchsia”

Codenamed Fuchsia, one can spot the new platform existing in Google’s Git repositories. However, at the moment, the repository doesn’t include any source code. This project was originally spotted on Hacker News.

If you go ahead and dig a little deeper, you’ll come across a line on Google’s Git repo that reads — “Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System)”.

Upon further digging the GitHub repository, we came to know that Magenta is the new kernel that powers the Fushia OS. The kernel is designed to interact with the OS via object handles. The documentation from the same calls it an operating system targeting the modern phones and PCs.

Linux malware? That’ll never happen. Ok, just this once then
