Plasma 5.8 LTS Beta. Here for the Long Term.

Thursday, 15 September 2016. Today KDE releases a beta of its first Long Term Support edition of its flagship desktop software, Plasma. This marks the point where the developers and designers are happy to recommend Plasma for the widest possible audience be they enterprise or non-techy home users. If you tried a KDE desktop previously and have moved away, now is the time to re-assess, Plasma is simple by default, powerful when needed.

Teleport: Modern SSH server for clusters and teams.

Gravitational Teleport is a modern SSH server for remotely accessing clusters of Linux servers via SSH or HTTPS. It is intended to be used instead of sshd. Teleport enables teams to easily adopt the best SSH practices like:

• No need to distribute keys: Teleport uses certificate-based access with automatic expiration time.
• Enforcement of 2nd factor authentication.
• Cluster introspection: every Teleport node becomes a part of a cluster and is visible on the Web UI.
• Record and replay SSH sessions for knowledge sharing and auditing purposes.
• Collaboratively troubleshoot issues through session sharing.
• Connect to clusters located behind firewalls without direct Internet access via SSH bastions.
• Ability to integrate SSH credentials with your organization identities via OAuth (Google Apps, Github).

Teleport is built on top of the high-quality Golang SSH implementation and it is fully compatible with OpenSSH.

At Facebook, we take advantage of those features to use SSH in a way that is reliable, secure, and manageable. SSH, more specifically OpenSSH, has a great way to provide both the security and reliability we require: signed certificates with principals.

Nextcloud Box

The Nextcloud box consists of the following parts:

• 1 TB USB3 hard drive from WDLabs
• Nextcloud case with room for the drive and a compute board
• microUSB charger, cables and adapters, a screw driver and screws

Samsung Planning To Replace Android With Linux-based Tizen OS On All Smartphones

The largest Android smartphone manufacturer Samsung is considering a shift from Google’s Android mobile operating system. According to a report, the South Korean tech giant is planning to expand its homegrown Tizen OS to all of its devices in future.

The executive said that Samsung launched Samsung Z1 and Z3 in the Indian market to see Tizen’s performance. “Samsung’s Z-branded Tizen-powered phones are popular with Indian consumers. During the first quarter of this year, Samsung sold about 64 million phones there. This means that Tizen is proving its competitiveness,” said the executive.

Apart from smartphones and smartwatches, the Korean giant wants to use Tizen in the Internet of Things applications. The company is soon looking to expand Tizen’s reach to more household devices like cameras, televisions, smart refrigerators etc.

• Ubuntu touch apps on other distributions… Or how Chris is wrong (NSFW rant)

Right, this has been stopping me from sleeping from a while because it has wound me up quite a lot. (slightly sarcastic)

On a certain episode of L.U.P Chris questioned how Ubuntu applications (made with the Ubuntu SDK) would look on non Ubuntu desktop environments, and quite rightly so came to the conclusion of “well, they would look out of place”. Fine.

Lets stop right now and talk about something else, Gnome “Apps”. Gnome Apps are fucking shit under anything that isn’t Gnome, however nobody is giving Gnome a hard time over this. Gnome is shitting all over everyone else with their poorly designed applications and the Ubuntu Desktop and other desktops are suffering because of it.

LinuxFest Northwest 2015

Bellingham, WA • April 25th & 26th

Holy cookies I did it..

I created a Jupiter Broadcasting Meetup group. I was inspired by the idea of how nice it would be to have a rough idea of how many folks will be making it out to LFNW. Just to help with planning.

But I realized my long-term plans are a bit more ambitious. As the weather gets nice in the Seattle area, I’d like to hold semi-frequent meetups with Jupiter Colony members that are in the area. Maybe once a month, record them, or stream them. Eat, chat, maybe even create show content.

Also as we travel to other fests, or hit the road, I’d like to have a tool to suss out interest in your area.

So after LFNW I’d like to use the group for that kind of stuff, which sounds like a lot of fun to me!

Preventing data at rest from rotting, Microsoft puts out the warning signal on RC4, and the International Space Station gets infected by malware.

Plus a fantastic batch of your questions, our answers, and much much more!

Thanks to:

Show Notes:

6 in 10 malware analysts in US have investigated or addressed a data breach that was never disclosed by their company

• “The independent blind survey of 200 security professionals dealing with malware analysis within U.S. enterprises was conducted by Opinion Matters on behalf of ThreatTrack Security in October 2013”
• “These results indicate that known data breaches may be significantly underreported and are putting customers and partners at risk”
• “according the survey, companies with more than 500 employees are even more likely to have had an unreported breach”
• A device used by a member of senior management is most likely to be infected by:
• Clicking on a malicious link in a phishing email (56%)
• Allowing a family member to use a company-owned device (45%)
• Visiting a pornographic website (40%)
• Installing a malicious mobile app (33%)
• “When asked to identify the most difficult aspects of defending their companies\’ networks from advanced malware, 67% said the complexity of malware is a chief factor; 67% said the volume of malware attacks; and 58% cited the ineffectiveness of anti-malware solutions.”

Microsoft tells developers to drop RC4 from their applications

• They also recommend against using SHA-1, and will stop recognizing the validity of SHA-1 based certificates after 2016
• “Since 2005 there have been known collision attacks (where multiple inputs can produce the same output), meaning that SHA-1 no longer meets the security standards for a producing a cryptographically secure message digest”
• Additional Coverage
• Jacob Appelbaum: RC4 is broken in real time by the #NSA – stop using it.

International Space Station infected by malware

• The Malware came aboard on a USB stick carried by a Russian Astronaut
• “Kaspersky revealed that Russian astronauts carried a removable device into space which infected systems on the space station. He did not elaborate on the impact of the infection on operations of the International Space Station (ISS).”
• “Kaspersky said he had been told that from time to time there were \”virus epidemics\” on the station.”
• Until recently, the dozens of laptops on the ISS all ran Windows XP
• Kaspersky also revealed that an unnamed Russian nuclear facility, which is also cut off from the public internet, was infected with the infamous Stuxnet malware.
• “Russian security expert Eugene Kaspersky has also told journalists that the infamous Stuxnet had infected an unnamed Russian nuclear plant and that in terms of cyber-espionage \”all the data is stolen globally… at least twice.\””
