Who doesn’t like a good party? Some folks will tell you that Linux is boring, or for geeks. This week we’ll show you how you can have a very loud and bright time with Linux.

Plus Valve officially pins down a Steam Machine launch date. More encryption for Linux, and did the CHIP guys underestimate the cost of their $9 computer?

Plus some great feedback, some helpful app picks & more!

+SSHFS

T his is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there’s nothing to do. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.

Based on FUSE (the best userspace filesystem framework for linux
Multithreading: more than one request can be on it’s way to the server
Allowing large reads (max 64k)
Caching directory contents

Steam Machine Launch Date

November 10, 2015: May it forever be known as “Steam Day”—the day Valve will officially unleash its suite of Steam Machines, Steam Link, SteamOS, and the Steam Controller. Sure, it’s almost exactly a year later than anticipated, but…well, if you want one, this is when you can get one. Officially.

“Unofficially,” you can get a Steam Machine and Steam Controller as early as October 16, provided you’re in the market for Alienware’s model. Preordering through GameStop ensures you’ll receive Alienware’s Steam Machine (which Valve previously referred to as “a console that encapsulates the full potential of what a Steam Machine should be”) almost a month early.

HP Enterprise will be all-in

What’s the latest enterprise IT company to proclaim its love of open source? HP, that’s who – or, more specifically, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, one of two companies that will emerge once HP splits this November.

Speaking at the HP Discover conference in Las Vegas this week, CTO Martin Fink said open source will be central to how HP’s enterprise incarnation conducts its business.

“We have taken this very, very seriously and we are all-in on the notion of open source,” Fink said, adding that even game-changing big bets like the Machine will be backed by open source software.

“I want to stress something here: It is not called HP Grommet. It is called Grommet,” Fink said. “It is HP’s contribution to the IT industry to bring consumer-grade capabilities with an enterprise user experience framework so that all of you can take advantage of it.”

Dell Inspiron 14 Ubuntu Review

I ‘ve been using this new Ubuntu notebook from Dell for a couple days, and overall, I’m pretty happy. For a $299 computer (that’s list price, I got mine for $249), it has reasonably good specs, looks nice, and performs about like you would expect considering the hardware and price.

Chip to be $20 not $9

Allwinner confirmed R8 just SOC cost $4.80 but this makes not much sense either this is the price of A33 quad core SOC why they price so expensive obsolete A13 Cortex-A8 SOC???

On my question how then Next Thing Co. sell this computer for $9 Allwinner response is:

“CHIP 9$ computer launched a big advertising campaign to promote their new development board, their actual cost is higher than 9$. After the Kickstarter their computer will sell for 39$.”

So, sorry guys to break your dreams for 1Ghz SOCs costing $1, maybe in future this would be possible, but not now.

Easy Windows File Sharing from Linux:

Brought to you by: System76

File Manager not show your network shares?

Install Samba:

Samba is a re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, it facilitates file and printer sharing among Linux and Windows systems as an alternative to NFS. Some users say that Samba is easily configured and that operation is very straight-forward. However, many new users run into problems with its complexity and non-intuitive mechanism.

Install Samba

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common system-config-samba python-glade2 gksu nautilus-share

Enable your user account as a Samba user

smbpasswd -e chase

Having troubles resolving computer names?

Check your DNS settings
Add the following stanza to smb.conf:

name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host wins

testparm

testparm — check an smb.conf configuration file for
internal correctness

Bonus: Going through these steps will also make your Windows network file browsing work under your file manager too!

Runs Linux

Raspberry Pi Controlled Aquaponics

This build uses the IBC method of Aquaponics, with modifications to include a Raspberry Pi for controlling a pump, solenoid drain, and temperature probes for water and air temperatures. The relays and timing is controlled with python scripting. Temperature and control data is collected every minute and sent to plot.ly for graphing, and future expansion will include sensors for water level and PH values for additional control.

All of my scripts are available at github.com

ownCloud 7 Community Edition Enhances, Extends and Simplifies Control of Sensitive Data

ownCloud 7 Community Edition server-to-server sharing enables users on one ownCloud instance to seamlessly share files with a user on a different ownCloud installation without using share links — enhancing sharing and collaboration while maintaining security and privacy.

ownCloud 7 Community Edition also gives end users a “Dropbox-like” experience — complementing the security and privacy on the back end — with an entirely new web interface, mobile web browser support, file notifications in email or activity stream, and significant performance improvements.

“ownCloud 7 Community Edition enables greater collaboration even across ownCloud instances, as well as greater admin control, updated user management and improved external storage control,” said Frank Karlitschek, founder and leader of the ownCloud project. “And at the same time, added or improved installation and configuration wizards, completely overhauled sharing, and a new user interface significantly simplifies the ownCloud experience.”

Russia to ditch Intel, AMD in favor of homegrown ‘Baikal’ chips; will use GNU/Linux

According to a Russian business newspaper, state departments and state-run companies have no plans to buy PCs built around Intel or AMD processors. Instead, beginning in 2015, the government will order some 700,000 personal computers annually worth $500 million and 300,000 servers worth $800 million based on the Baikal chip.
