Desktop App Pick

Standard Notes – standard notes app, un-standard every other way.

A proof of concept collaborative text editor with end-to-end encryption. Simply share the URL with anyone you want to collaborate with.

The URL contains a unique, random identifier for the document, as well as an encryption key and edit token. Since the encryption key follows the # symbol, it is never sent to the server.

Edits to the document are end-to-end encrypted, meaning what you type is encrypted locally before being sent to the server and other users.

Other collaborators do not need Standard Notes to view the document. To allow others to edit the document, share the “Editing URL”. For viewing access only, share the “Viewing URL”.

Hi Guys,

I was watching a documentary over here that is forked from a new TV series Humanshttps://www.channel4.com/programmes/humans which follows a world where synthetic Human’s are part of life.

Anyway the show made a documentary to see how far off creating Synthetic human’s we are : How to build a Human https://www.channel4.com/programmes/how-to-build-a-human

They appear to be using Ubuntu to program the robot for speech interaction https://imgur.com/a/bBQos its at about 13:48through the video.

Microsoft SQL On linux is The Real Deal

Now available in a public preview, SQL Server for Linux aims to be full-featured like the Windows edition and a robust, long-term choice for enterprises

Those who wondered what it would be like to run Microsoft SQL Server on Linux now have an answer. Microsoft has released the first public preview of the long-promised product.

Microsoft also wants to make clear this isn’t a “SQL Server Lite” for those satisfied with a reduced feature set. Microsoft has a four-point plan to make this happen.

Microsoft Joins the Linux Foundation

It isn’t about Linux alone

And neither is the Linux Foundation. A lot of the projects Microsoft has been helping under the Linux Foundation umbrella are infrastructure and developer-oriented projects that Microsoft’s user base is interested in using.

Microsoft still has a lot of proprietary software, and it’s going to stay that way

Make no mistake: This move does not constitute a signal that Microsoft is preparing to open-source its key products. The Microsoft Windows kernel, Microsoft SQL Server, crucial parts of the Azure stack, and so on—they are all still strong moneymakers for Microsoft in their current incarnations. You can expect them to remain proprietary for a good long while.

This helps Microsoft help itself

A common theme in discussions about Microsoft’s involvements with Linux and open source is that it’s been a self-serving effort. Over time, Microsoft has found more places where its best interests coincide nicely with those of others—but again, in a pragmatic and transactional manner.

There’s still a lot of room for change on Microsoft’s part

Don’t get this wrong, Microsoft joining the Linux Foundation would have been unthinkable even a short time ago. But it is only one of many possible steps that Microsoft could take.

The Five Dollar Tool That Breaks Passwords

The perils of leaving computers unattended just got worse, thanks to a newly released exploit tool that takes only 30 seconds to install a privacy-invading backdoor, even when the machine is locked with a strong password.

PoisonTap, as the tool has been dubbed, runs freely available software on a $5/£4 Raspberry Pi Zero device. Once the payment card-sized computer is plugged into a computer’s USB slot, it intercepts all unencrypted Web traffic, including any authentication cookies used to log in to private accounts. PoisonTap then sends that data to a server under the attacker’s control. The hack also installs a backdoor that makes the owner’s Web browser and local network remotely controllable by the attacker.

It Turns Out The Btrfs RAID 5/6 Issue Isn’t Completely Fixed

_with headlines like “btrfs RAID5/RAID6 support is finally fixed” when that’s very much not the case. Only one bug has been removed for the key use case that makes RAID5 interesting, and it’s just the first of many that still remain in the path of a user trying to recover from a normal disk failure.

Hey Chris, – this is something I’ve had a lot of people ask me following Trump’s victory, – “should I keep my data in the cloud on services based in the US now that Trump is President?”

I think it’s a valid question, and one worth discussing on LAS or User Error. The general feeling is that infringements on privacy and civil liberties will only get worse in the coming years. Interested to hear your thoughts, more so that you use Dropbox.

in Gnome 3.20 (I think) Gnome switched to use libinput over synaptic for the touchpad lib. you need to remove xf86-input-synaptic and install xf86-input-libinput. but you also need to remove the synaptic config file. Forgive me I don’t remember what/where it is. Antergos may still be setting it up with synaptic

QNAP TS-453A 8G First Hands On

• TS-453A :: QNAP

• Supports the Linux(r) OS with direct output via HDMI
• Dual HDMI output for switching between duplicated and extended desktop options
• AES-NI hardware-accelerated encryption for efficient cryptographic performance up to 412 MB/s
• Supports 4K hardware decoding and transcodes 4K H.264 videos on-the-fly or offline
• Quickly find files using a real-time, natural search with Qsirch 2.1

• Build a personal karaoke system with high-quality audio output with the new OceanKTV app

QNAP TS-453A 8G Virtualization

Virtualization Station allows you to host virtual machines (VM) on the TS-453A, and access them via a web browser or VNC. Virtualization Station supports multiple operating systems, fast VM creation, VM backup & restoration, VM import/export, snapshot, and Device Management for centrally managing VM. Virtualization Station uses SDN (Software-defined Networks) and allows the TS-453A and VMs to share the same LAN port. No longer constrained by physical network performance, high-speed Virtual Switches greatly increases data transfer between VMs as well as between VMs and NAS through the internal interface. You can also download VMs on demand from online VM markets and import them to the TS-453A without any complex procedures.

The TS-453A also features the game-changing container technology for server virtualization. QNAP Container Station exclusively integrates LXC and Docker(r) lightweight virtualization technologies, allowing you to operate multiple isolated Linux(r) systems on the TS-453A as well as download apps from the built-in Docker Hub Registry(r)

Some Disappointed Apple Fans Are Moving To Ubuntu Linux

Thanks to technology enthusiasts’ underwhelming response to Apple’s October event, a big flock of users turned to the famed Ubuntu laptop seller System76 whose website witnessed about 4-times more traffic than usual. As a result, System76 needed to upgrade the servers to keep up. It could be seen as a sign that users are looking at Linux machines as Mac-alternatives.

• Subject: New Linux Computer

As my father is soon looking at retirement he is going to lose access his work provided laptop. He has asked me for recommendations on a new machine. I’m considering the possibility of moving him over to Linux. He is technologically competent and not afraid of trying something new but is still more comfortable going with a well-known manufacturer. Immediately my first thought was the Dell XPS 13 as he is familiar with them and they also offer Linux support out of the box which is a huge plus as I can purchase the Windows version so that knows he has the option to fallback to Windows if he ends up not liking Linux. However, after looking into the device it appears that these machines are still affected by Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) that can’t be disabled and coil whine issues. Outside of System76 machines is the XPS 13 still the go-to Linux laptop? Do you have any better recommendations? Thanks.
