Ham Radio Technician Question Pool

All of the questions you could be asked, available in .doc .pdf or even .txt

Now You’re Talking – Getting started with Ham Radio

This book is exactly right for someone who wants to become a ham radio operator. This book does two things. It is a self study course that will allow you to pass the Technician level FCC test. It is also a general introduction to all of ham radio, covering the highlights of all that can be done in amateur radio. It has just the right level of sophistication to give a good understanding of all facets of amateur radio but does not get into such extreme detail that it is overwhelming.

SVXLINK

SVXLink is an EchoLink client for Linux. This allows you to use Ham Radio on Linux through the internet without actually using radios.

KLog

KLog is a Linux Ham Radio logging program. it can be used as a contest logger or a general purpose logger.

LinPSK

LinPsk is a Psk31 program for Linux using Qt.

QRZ Ham Radio Practice Test

Test your skills by taking the practice exam and see how well you would do.

ARRL Ham Radio on Linux

At this point, since Ubuntu is beginning to look like a really viable alternative OS, the next big issue is whether it will support the ham radio applications that we want to run. Fortunately, the answer to this question is — yes it will.

Ozon OS `Hydrogen` Beta Available

Ozon OS “Hydrogen” beta is available for download. This is a Linux distribution based on Fedora, created by a collaboration between Numix Project and Nitrux S.A., “designed to not get into your way and and be simple, sleek and modern while focusing on helping you to get stuff done quickly“.

Ozon OS Hydrogen Beta Available For Download ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

Atom Shell

Ozon OS “Hydrogen” beta ships with four GNOME Shell extensions installed by default: Atom Dock, Atom Launcher, Atom Panel and of course, User Themes so Ozon OS can use its cool GNOME Shell theme out of the box.

Atom Dock is, like its name suggest, a “dock” or application launcher/switcher, that’s displayed at the bottom of the screen and uses intellihide by default (it hides if it overlaps any window in the active window group, but it can be brought up using the mouse pointer). Just like the default GNOME Shell Dash (which is disabled in Ozon OS), you can pin applications to the dock, open a new application window and access the application view

Steam hits 1,000 Linux games days after Valve’s big Steam Machine reveal

At the moment, there are 1005 games that support Linux and SteamOS on Steam. That’s out of 4817 total games for all platforms on Steam, or 20.8% of all the games on Steam. And that’s just games—not DLC items, software, demos, or trailers. But, if you expand the search to include everything, there’s 1856 items in the Linux + SteamOS category.

Google Open Source Blog: Bidding farewell to Google Code

Beginning today, we have disabled new project creation on Google Code. We will be shutting down the service about 10 months from now on January 25th, 2016.

The Linux Foundation wants to rein in its insult-spewing leader

On Monday, the Linux Foundation kinda sorta slapped him on the wrist when they issued a new “Code of Conflict” policy that declared “personal insults or abuse are not welcome.”

Linux kernel patch releases “code of conduct”

Some would say that the center of the problem is Linus Torvalds himself, that his blunt and cavalier attitude towards dealing with other developers has lead to too much tension within the ranks. However, when one man holds such a massive responsibility for that much code (and the patches submitted therein), it only makes sense that he carry a sharp stick and tone. The problem comes when contributors begin calling out Torvalds publicly. This happened recently when Lennart Poettering called Torvalds out for encouraging hate speech and attacks. Poettering went so far to say that the Linux community is a “sick place to be in.”

The Linux Kernel’s New ‘Play Nice’ Patch | Community | LinuxInsider

Whether this tactic pans out to solve the growing friction within the Linux kernel commuinity remains to be seen. This kind of effort tends to shift power from the individual to those who enforce the code, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

NTP’s Fate Hinges On “Father Time”

In April, one of the open source code movement’s first and biggest success stories, the Network Time Protocol, will reach a decision point, writes Charlie Babcock. At 30 years old, will NTP continue as the preeminent time synchronization system for Macs, Windows, and Linux computers and most servers on networks? Or will this protocol go into a decline marked by drastically slowed development, fewer bug fixes, and greater security risks for the computers that use it? The question hinges to a surprising degree on the personal finances of a 59-year-old technologist in Talent, Ore., named Harlan Stenn.

Login screen in Fedora 22 Workstation uses Wayland

Fedora 21 Workstationadded the ability to log in and run a Wayland session from the login screen (GDM), leaving the login screen itself running using the older X protocol. This is changing with a new feature in Fedora 22 enabling the login screen to run on Wayland by default.

Linux adopts conflict resolution code

The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process compared to “traditional” ways of developing software. Your code and ideas behind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique and criticism. The review will almost always require improvements to the code before it can be included in the kernel. Know that this happens because everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution for the overall success of Linux. This development process has been proven to create the most robust operating system kernel ever, and we do not want to do anything to cause the quality of submission and eventual result to ever decrease.

Pull “code of conflict” from Greg KH:
“This file tries to set the rational basis for our code reviews, gives
some advice on how to conduct them, and provides an excalation channel
for any kernel developers if they so desire it”

[ Let’s see how this works ]

Chrome OS Switches To “Freon” Graphics Stack To Replace X11

Released this past week was Chrome OS 41 and besides having improved WiFi stability, updates to the guest mode wallpaper, and other changes, some Chrome OS devices have been updated to Google’s new “Freon” graphics stack. _Freon further removes X11 dependencies from Google’s world and will yield performance improvements in the future. Freon isn’t based directly on Wayland nor Mir.

Ubuntu MATE 14.04 Released

This release is unusual in that it is based on Ubuntu MATE 14.04
but adds a number of new features and fixes many bugs. Although
this is a 14.04 release you can consider it a newer version than
14.10 but many of the changes outlined below have already been
released to Ubuntu MATE 14.10 via updates.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk Adds Preconfigured Docker Platform

The ‘Preconfigured Docker’ platforms are delivered as Docker containers allowing you to develop and test your applications locally using the same container that your application will be deployed to on Elastic Beanstalk.

AWS doubles down on Docker technology, launches EC2 Container Service

In order to help you to realize these benefits, we are announcing a preview of our new
container management service, EC2 Container Service (or ECS for short).

This service will make it easy for you to run any number of Docker_containers across a managed cluster of _Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud(EC2) instances using powerful APIs and other tools. You do not
have to install cluster management software, purchase and maintain the cluster hardware, or match your hardware
inventory to your software needs when you use ECS. You simply launch some instances in
a cluster, define some tasks, and start them. ECS is built around a scalable,
fault-tolerant,
multi-tenant base that takes care of all of the details of cluster management on your
behalf.

The Switch To Systemd Will Likely Occur For Ubuntu 15.04

Among the bugs that need to be addressed for the switch to happen is needing some AppArmor fixes, support for Ubuntu working in a LXC container with systemd, working cryptsetup integration with systemd during the boot process, and other changes. Some of the other work needed includes bringing up the network enablement in a good manner, NFS improvements, improving Plymouth integration, validating behavior for various packages, etc. While there’s a lot of work that needs to be done to clear it for integration, the consensus expressed during today’s Ubuntu Online Summit was, “generally we are ready to switch now.”

Here we are again…

Michael came by some information about Manjaro developers leaving the distribution. No big deal, that happens; people move on. But that’s not sexy enough to drive clicks. So what we need here is a really flagrant title, one like: “Manjaro Linux Developers Experience A Mass Exodus”.

Now in the real world of news reporting, there is this thing called ‘Verification’, wherein, you try to independently verify from multiple sources the information you are researching. You contact multiple people, you get the story from different angles, and then you decided what you are going to write. But in todays fast paced ‘Get the story out first’ online news reporting, that step gets lost. Sites want to be the first one to release news, why…? Because the first to report gets the clicks, and in this world. Clicks = Money. We have sacrificed Truth for convenience and money.

But there’s a more ugly deceitful side; intentionally NOT verifying information can sometimes create a lot of drama. And drama my friends… well… Drama = Clicks. So whats our mantra? – Get the story out first! – If its wrong and creates drama no problem — that’s a plus, it’ll drive more traffic to our site. We can later ‘retract’ any false information once we’ve actually been presented with the correct information.
It’s simple math.
Drama = Clicks. Click = Money. Thus: Drama = Money.

Join us on Sunday for a chat with Rob from Manjaro to get the story straight from the source.

Only a few days old, OpenSSL fork LibreSSL is declared “unsafe for Linux” | Ars Technica

A security researcher has warned that there are cases where the LibreSSL PRNG will produce identical output two or more times when running on Linux systems, something he called a “catastrophic failure.” The same data can be returned when an application process is cloned—or “forked,” in computing parlance—something that can happen when an operating system repeats a similar task over and over, like each time a Web server opens a new connection, for example. In most cases, LibreSSL will detect that a process has been forked because its identifier, known as a PID, will differ. In those cases, LibreSSL will automatically reseed the random numbers to ensure they’re unique to the new process.
