Being good at going full Salesman on things comes with a certain responsibility if you care about your audience. Touting the security of Telegram should be avoided. By all means, use it if it fits your needs but please don’t portrait Telegram as something vetted and secure, that’s doing the audience a disservice.

Only half of the equation (the client) is open source and the protocol is full of weirdness and outright flaws. I believe their crypto contest charade was even featured and scoffed at on one of the network’s channels a while ago.

Its encryption score in the following table should be taken with a grain of salt since it’s vulnerable to ‘hostile server’ attacks, which are sadly just a subpoena away:

Why isn’t Debian as popular as Ubuntu on LAS

I have been loving LAS for some time now, but it always bothers me that Debian (the mother of so many great Linux distros) isn’t discussed as a primary Linux distro option as Arch/OpenSUSE/Ubuntu and so on. What is the deal with that? // Thanks for a great year, keep up the good work LAS!

The Sequestered TV Show, Runs Linux

I don’t know if this one has been mentioned before but in Episode 11 of Sequestered in minute 3 there is a second of root nmap of a windoze 2003 device from a shell.

However it seems to be on a doze laptop and the 3 monitor display a couple seconds later also seems like doze.

Supposedly the scene is showing a remote shell being opened for the attacker by the wife.

Desktop App Pick

Telegram Desktop

“Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, it’s superfast, simple and free. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any of your phones, tablets or computers.”

“With Telegram, you can send messages, photos, videos and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc) to people who are in your phone contacts and have Telegram. You can also create groups for up to 200 people or send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts. As a result, Telegram is like SMS and email combined — and can take care of all your personal or business messaging needs,”

Netflix Will Shut Down Public API Support For Third-Party Developers On November 14

Netflix is getting a lot stingier with the way that third-party developers can use its content, announcing that it will stop supporting its public API by the end of the year. In a letter to API partners, Netflix VP of Edge Engineering Daniel Jacobson announced that it would retire the public API program effective November 14.

The decision to shutdown its API seems a long time coming. Launched six years ago, the API originally provided third-party developers a way to access and point to content that users could get from Netflix in its streaming and DVD catalogs.

That helped the company grow, as subscribers could use third-party apps to check the availability of titles, reserve DVDs, and even link directly to streaming content on the web.

Dev Hoopla: Twas the Monday before WWDC2014

Apple to Launch New \’Smart Home\’ Platform at WWDC

Apple will launch a new software platform that will let the iPhone directly control lights, security systems and other household gadgets at WWDC next week, according to a report from The Financial Times.

Apple Testing ARM Based Mac Prototypes with Large Magic Trackpad?

French site MacBidouille revives rumors that Apple is actively developing ARM processor based Macs. According to a source that they describe as reliable, Apple has prototypes of several ARM-based machines, including an iMac, Mac mini, and 13\” Notebook with 4-8 64-bit ARM Quad-core processors.

iPhone 6 with larger, sharper 1704 x 960 resolution screen in testing

Some industry watchers have speculated that Apple could stretch the iPhone software\’s interface and retain the iPhone 5s\’s screen resolution of 1136 x 640. This approach would allow all iOS software and App Store apps to function normally on the iPhone 6 without work from developers. The downside of this approach would be that the iPhone 6′s display would fall below Steve Jobs\’ somewhat arbitrary 300 pixels per inch definition of \’Retina\’ for a phone.

Slipping shipping times may support analyst prediction of new, cheaper iMacs

Apple usually quotes 24 hours for delivery of standard-configuration iMacs, but is currently showing 3-5 business days across the range. Increased shipping times are sometimes an indication of lower or sporadic stocks, which tend to precede the launch of new models.

NSA reportedly intercepting laptops purchased online to install spy malware

The report indicates that the NSA, in collaboration with the CIA and FBI, routinely and secretly intercepts shipping deliveries for laptops or other computer accessories in order to implant bugs before they reach their destinations. According to Der Spiegel, the NSA\’s TAO group is able to divert shipping deliveries to its own \”secret workshops\” in a method called interdiction, where agents load malware onto the electronics or install malicious hardware that can give US intelligence agencies remote access.

Why no love for Slackware

Question for next week:

Does groupthink / management by consensus tamper open source innovation. Does backlash to aggressive and sometimes new or “risky” ideas inhibit bold invitations?
Example: Debian can’t get off the pot about their init. Choosing systemd would impact 0.8% of their user base negatively (according to voluntary stats) and be beneficial for Linux as a whole not just Debian. Yet they can’t make the call.

2013 Linux Predictions | The Linux Action Show!

We dust off our Action Crystal Balls and tell you what’s going to happen in 2013. We break the future down into major categories, and give it to you straight. The good, the bad, and the stupid.

Chris’ ACTION Crystal Balls:

GIMP Wows us with major plans to revamp parts of the UI.
Despite accelerated adoption (maybe the best growth year ever) in part thanks to Steam. The desktop will still fail to get the attention of some core compent OEMs as the explosive growth in “Internet of things” devices will dominate the attention of many. Software based networking, in-car infotainment, TVs, phones, etc.
Linux’s small footprint and ARM support will put it in the lead for new types of devices in the data center.
SteamOS will prove only moderately successful. It will help bring some great titles to Linux, and continue the gains seen in 2013. But at the end of 2014 we’ll feel like we’re waiting to see the next version of SteamOS/SteamBox before it’s ready to go mainstream.
Success with Ubuntu Mobile means a new type of customer for Canonical: The Carriers. This type of customer will be interested in features and abilities that an open source community will be in conflict with. This will further the divide between the long time Ubuntu fans, new Ubuntu users, and Canonical on the community.
A bad year for Windows on all fronts

Matt’s ACTION Crystal Balls:

ChromeOS will become the de facto face of Linux on the desktop; as seen by the adoption with Chromebooks outselling ANYTHING else on Amazon, other online retail outlets.
Web applications will have a greater impact on how we use software – using cloud apps will be even more common than in the past.

Best Distro of 2013 Reviewed:

Chris:
openSUSE 13.1
OpenSuse Gnome – Suse is rocking it!
Matt:
Arch Linux + It’s derivatives.

New Android Boss Finally Reveals Plans for World\’s Most Popular Mobile OS

So far Pichai, a 40-year old grad of the fabled Indian Institute of Technology and later Stanford, has kept his head down and refused all press. But as this week’s I/O event approached, he granted WIRED his first interview since taking over Android.

TechCrunch reported Wednesday that Onswipe, a company that specializes in creating tablet-optimized HTML5 websites for its customers, has observed \”a significant bump\” in the number of visits to its partner sites — from both iPhones and iPads that apparently run on iOS 7

Ouya has revealed it will delay the retail launch of its Android-based gaming console by three weeks until June 25th. In an interview with Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman.

OUYA Closes $15 Million Round, Sets Up Microconsole Showdown – Forbes

OUYA, the most well-funded and heavily marketed of a number of approaches to TV-based microconsole gaming, has announced both a $15 million funding round and a three-week pushback on its June 4 retail launch date.

The round, led by Kleiner Perkins, features investment from graphics company NVIDIA (which is marketing its new mobile processors heavily on their console-like gaming performance, most obviously in their proof-of-concept Project Shield console, and which supplies the Tegra 3 mobile processor powering the OUYA), the Mayfield Fund, Shasta Ventures and Ocean Partners. This nearly doubles the $8.5 million funding the OUYA console raised in its July 2012 Kickstarter campaign. Kleiner Perkins\’ Bing Gordon, an EA veteran currently on the board of Zynga, will also join the OUYA board.

“Hi Chris Michael,

Just wondering what your thoughts are on learning/doing desktop apps compared to say web apps. Where do you see the shift or direction in programming going? Do you see more options for website/internet programming (Ruby,Perl, ASP, Javascript etc. ) or is it better to learn a system \”desktop application\” type language such as (Python, C#, Java etc.)

Is Desktop applications still a worthwhile cause?

Thank you for the tips and knowledge.

2013 Linux Predictions:

Brought to you by: System76

Photo of my new System76 laptop : LinuxActionShow

2012 looks like it might have been one of the best year for Linux in terms of generating momentum, and positioning for an amazing 2013.

Distributions:

Is Fedora Linux Becoming Business-Friendly?
The Future Of Fedora Gets Debated, Again
Moving to Arch Linux from Fedora
OpenSUSE’s Jos Poortvliet: Collaborate or Become Obsolete
Building Windows 8 blogs Sinofsky did. This would require someone inside Ubuntu to step out as the “vision guy” and evangelize the Ubuntu desktop. Maybe Jason Warner, the Ubuntu Desktop Manager.

Gaming:

As put by Michael Larabel at phoronix.com

Valve’s next-gen Linux console. This Linux-based console for the living room that’s designed around Steam is going to be huge. This is one of the most exciting milestones to look forward to for Linux as a whole in 2013. Like earlier Phoronix Valve exclusives, you can believe it now or wait and be surprised later, but this is the most exciting piece of Linux hardware that we should see in 2013. It’s exciting on so many different levels as you’ll see and is a huge growth opportunity for Linux.

Noted by Jay Lyman, at LinuxInsider

OpenStack also represents the latest Linux battleground, with Red Hat, SUSE and Canonical all vying to support enterprise deployments. Linux is a big part of cloud computing – not only technically, but also culturally, and in conversations between vendors and customers.

The team takes a look at the new STF gear, and the current gear’s changes. Plus Chris shares his 2012 STO predictions, and plays back a few from 2011, find out how they did!

This will be the last STOked produced for the foreseeable future. The show will be going on hiatus.

I plan to take another look at things, perhaps as the new featured episodes are near release, or something really exciting that I want to share with you all. And I will continue to monitor news and the STO community closely.

Check out the live stream on Saturdays, from time to time I plan to do live game play with the chat room during the hiatus. Following my G+ or Twitter feeds would be the fastest way to find out when those happen.

And finally, thank you so much for watching. If we make our return, I hope you’ll be there to tune in!

2011 PREDICTIONS from STOked 63

Jeremy:

Cryptic will acknowledge the positive impact the Foundry can have on their game, and embrace it by appointing a point of contact (or team) that will focus on publicity for the best-made and highly-reviewed player missions on a regular basis. Maybe a secondary weekly spotlight?
We will see an announcement toward the end of the year for a Romulan expansion. Including the new faction, 3–4 new sectors complete with PvE stories. The unique Romulan mechanic will be “espionage” and will be similar to Fed DXP.
More voice overs and cut scenes for episode content.

Chris:

Voice Overs + Cut Scenes (Demo record fly through)
More Star Trek
Slow Down
UGC will snowball into requiring a more robust out-of-game experience to discover and discuss new player created content.

2012 Predictions:

The possibility of failure lumes over STO. The price of failure may be too low.
The Foundry make it or break it time. DStahl has a big task on his hands. .
SW:TOR will help STO find it’s identity. SPACE COMBAT.
The next feature episode will be revealed to the community with the biggest fan fare yet.
D’angelo is replaced? The lack of transparency will turn the community even more angry. Anyone who takes the figure head spot, and does not chant “content, content, content” they will be flamed.
Foundry created episodes will take a larger role in the game. Cryptic will acknowledge them, and make efforts towards driving players towards them. After they get over having to admit they need the players to help them create content.
Crafting revamp replaces the current “vendorised” system with something spectacular and player skill based.
Additional writing staff, preferably with Star Trek experience, will be hired (possibly temporarily).
Cryptic will assign / hire a staff member to produce content using the Foundry toolset on a regular basis
STO will face it’s own “NGE” crisis and will only survive it by shifting focus to delivering content rather than game systems

New STF Gear Sets:

Set feedback thread

Borg set (3 set items for 5 edc each from a vendor, console from the mission ‘Assimilation’).
Shield – The most regenerative shield of all the sets along with the lowest shield capacity and has a bonus resistance to plasma damage attacks to the shields by 15%. A bonus to shield power improves shield regen and resistance.

Engine – one of the slower impulse engines but a standard agility and a power bonus to engines, the greatest bonus of this engine is the ability for transwarp speed in sector space (minimum speed of warp 14).

Deflector geared towards (in order of magnitude) – Resistance – (geared towards greater hull boost, moderate restistance to shield/energy/movement debuff and a boost to auxillary power.
Hull Strength – change to an offensive debuff like power drain or exotic damage? Make it more offensive/adaptive deflector?
Resistance to shield and energy drain abilities
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Knock, repel and slow abilities
Aux power (improve aux based abilities)

Aegis – a craftable set
Shields – highest capacity (for the feds) covarient shields with one of the lowest regenerations but grants a boost to shield power and shield strength.

Engines – geared towards speed and defense (performing better at higher engine speeds).

Deflector – Shield defense (geared towards shield strength, buffs and resistance to debuffs and a small boost to shield regen/resistance).
Shield strength – Boost to placate/confuse? Make it a more evasive deflector?
Shield repair/healing
Resistance to energy/shield drain abilities
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Shield power (improves shield regen and shield resistance)

MACO – FED only
Shield – while the capacity is lower than a covarient, resilient shields regenerate slightly better and allow less damage to impact the hull. In addition for each attack you receive you gain a stacking 10 second bonus of +1 to all power settings. Shield grants a standard 20% plasma damage resistance to the shields.

Engine – while a tiny bit slower than the Aegis engines there is no bonus to having a high engine power. In addition, ships in sector space can travel at 9.99 (so we aren’t all going to turn in to amphibian beings ) and in the eventuality that your engines are disabled, you’ll still have some maneuverabilty.

Deflector – Defense orientated (geared towards hull strength, shield strength buffs, resistance to movement debuffs and transfering power between subsystems).
Hull strength
Shield repair/healing
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Shield strength
Power transfer rate

Omega Force – FED/KDF
Shield – A less regenerative capacity version of the Borg shield. In addition though for each attack you receive you gain a bonus 5 flight speed and 30% turn rate for 5 seconds. Shield grants a standard 20% plasma damage resistance to the shields.

Engine – The fastest engine available to both factions and one of the most agile with a greater bonus when using a high engine power.

Deflector – Debuff orientated (equally passive and damaging debuff boost with a small boost to cloak detection and shield repair).
Cloak detection and sensor debuff resistance
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Resistance to energy/shield drain abilities Change to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects? Make it a more ambush/hit and run deflector?
Improved accuracy
Damage from ‘exotic’ attacks

KHG – KDF only
Shield – the highest shield capacity covarient shield and one of the lowest regenerations, however, there is a 25% chance when hit by energy damage to debuff the enemy’s accuracy by 25% for 10 seconds and placate for 1 second. Shield grants a standard 20% plasma damage resistance to the shields.

Engine – the slowest engine overall but the most agile especially at low power levels with an added bonus of being able to restart disabled engines after only 1 second and a flat bonus to all power levels.

Deflector – strength and offense orientated (geared towards boosting hull strength and offensive debuffs with a bonus to transferring power).
Hull strength
Damage from ‘exotic’ attacks
Knock, repel and slow abilities
Power transfer
Improved cloak

2012 Predictions! | LAS | s20e01

chris — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:21:05 +0000

2012 is here, we kick it in the face, and tell you exactly what to expect all year long!

PLUS: We’ll play back our predictions from 2011, and man up to what we got wrong! HINT: NOT MUCH!

THEN: Rumor has it an Ubuntu TV is on the way, but is it all blown out of proportion? Tune in to find out!

And so much more!

All this week on, The Linux Action Show!

NEWS:

Want LAS to take a look at Cinnamon Desktop? Let us KNOW!

2012 Predictions:

Google TV will make a comeback.
Google TV will then become just as irrelevant by the end of 2012 as it was at the end of 2011.
Google will release Android 5.0 with a whole new UI.
We will all still be using X11 (and not Wayland) by years end.
Windows Phone 7 sales will be incredibly slow, causing Nokia to come up with a new strategy. There will be much laughter.
The Raspberry Pi will become available and sell out faster than they can make them.
Mint will continue to gain popularity… then suddenly drop down significantly (mirroring PCLinuxOS’s rise and fall in user share).
Intel will start (or join) another new Linux distro (forgetting about Moblin, Meego and Tizen).
Redhat will make more money and Fedora will continue to lose market-share.
Canonical will transition away from the desktop. Ubuntu desktop will live on, but receive less love. We will complain much.
btrfs will become the default FS on popular Linux distros. Fedora will ship with a major btrfs bug that gets Chris or Bryan really worked up. OMG!
In a defense to Mint’s growth, and to directly appease The Linux Action Show, Ubuntu 12.04 will be GREAT!
Oracle will start the year strong, but by the end of 2012 will be reduced back to their core strengths.
The Linux Action Show will read a mirage proposal on air, between two Linux geeks. But email it to angela@jupiterbroadcasting.com SO WE SEE IT!

Plus – Our quick thoughts on today’s Google I/O news and a few highlights from today’s announcements from Google!

Show Notes:

Skype acquired by Microsoft
–Announcement
–Confirmation
–Fears & Hopes
–Coming to MS platforms
–5 Big Takeaways–Security vulnerability on Skype for Mac

MS Not paying US taxes for the $8.5Bill purchase?
“Of Microsoft’s nearly $50.2 billion in cash and liquid investments, about $42 billion is held in foreign subsidiaries and would otherwise be subject to a tax hit if the money were brought back to the U.S. Ballmer said it is appropriate to use overseas cash because Skype is headquartered in Luxembourg.”

Chris’s thoughts:
-Xbox 360 integration might finally bring Video calling to the TV in an easy way?
-Crazy VR possibilities with Kinect?
-What does this mean for Skype on Linux? (and Mac?)
-Will skype be built into Windows Phone 7 to compete with facetime and GoogleTalk?

I remember reading “The Door into Summer” by Heinlein some time in the 1970’s. In that book a man uses “cold sleep” to travel into the future. When he wakes up in a hospital they give him a newspaper on electronic paper, and he had to figure out how to turn the page by tapping in the corner of the screen. Whenever I see a news app on a tablet computer it reminds me of that.

An often forgotten historical scientific discovery by Aristachus. Eratosthenes of Cyrene, even coined the terms Longditude and Latitude, founded the discipline of Geography. He also calculated the circumference of the Earth. If he used the Egyptian Stadia, then his calculations were off my 2%. Though using the common Attic Stadion, it would have been circumference 16.3% larger. Even so it is still a amazing.

What about Dr. Gabor Forgacs a researcher at the University of Missouri. Regenerative medicine, where his research is into printing new organs. Then there are the 3D printers. A basic form of Star Treks replicators. Wonder if this could be the start of true recylcing technology. Break it down into constituant elements, then reuse in the 3D printer. There is also tissue engineering, organ cloning as an alternative into donor organs.
