ZFS on Ubuntu gets new prominent criticism from Richard Stallman & we launch into a wider discussion the underlying message in these recent statements. Leo Laporte gives Linux another go after his previous switch disaster & reports back with some interesting insights.

Then we discuss the big updates to XFCE, the HTC Vive’s lack of Linux support & Chris finally sets up Traccar, a self hosted location tracking server & discovers it’s surprising limitation.

An Open-Source Steam Controller Driver is in Development

What properly holds me back from buying one is the fact I need to use Steam to use the controller, and the few games I do play aren’t available on Steam (e.g, SuperTuxKart, MAME, etc).

Bundling ZFS and Linux is impossible says Richard Stallman

Enter Stallman, arguing that “Code under GPL-incompatible licenses cannot be added, neither in source nor binary form, without violating the GPL.” He continues: “if you distribute modules meant to be linked together by the user, you have made them into a combined work, and you must release the entire combined work under the GNU GPL.” It’s therefore not possible to release ZFS alongside GNU GPL-licensed code because ZFS is licensed under CDDLv1.

The HTC Vive and Valve’s SteamVR don’t yet support Linux and SteamOS

You might expect that the HTC Vive works with Valve’s own SteamOS and Linux, but it doesn’t. It’s Windows-only for now, just like the Oculus Rift.

Intel x86 considered harmful (new paper)

So, today I’m releasing this first paper, finally. You can get the PDF
_here, and also the EPUB version
here._

_As mentioned, the paper is mostly a (hopefully systematic) survey of the various
problems and attacks presented against the x86 platform over the last 10 year_s.

DOJ dismisses Apple’s arguments against decrypting iOS communications

Federal courts should require Apple to unlock encrypted data because the operating system is “licensed, not sold,” to customers, the Justice Department argued in a reply brief in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

But suddenly he doesn’t seem crazy anymore. After the Snowden revelations, and all the other major and minor privacy breaches of the past few years, his paranoia now seems justified — even rational:

This week we’ll use the lens of some recent technical meltdowns to discuss this age old struggle of pragmatism vs idealism.

Sometimes the practical choice kicks you in the butt, and you regret ignoring your ideals. And sometimes the free choice can’t do the job. This is a balance Linux users find themselves in more most technology users.

Matt’s Howto:

First up, the devices I shared and their chipsets.

rt73usb 802.11g – decent range and dependable
Working out of the box, using the already installed driver for rt73usb – these dongles are tough to find, but anything that is confirmed using rt73usb will work out of the box in Ubuntu.
1) Edimax ew-7318usg
2) Edimax EW-7318Ug
Since these dongles are no readily available, I suggest the TP-Link TL-WN321G which uses rt73usb and is readily available at Amazon.

rtl8187 802.11g – overheats easily, usable with extension cable or notebook cooling pad
Next we have the WiBee Dongle. It uses the Realtek RTL8187 driver. It too, works out of the box. But unlike the above linked rt73usb devices, it is quick to overheat and will drop your signal over extended usage.

zd1211rw – weak signal, but it’s very stable. Also only gets up to 36 Mb/s
The next dongle on my list that I had in the studio was the ZyXEL’s G-220 v2. As we all know, wireless dongle version numbers make model numbers, useless. Therefore knowing what I know now, I avoid any vendor using them.

That’s great Matt, so what the hell do you recommend smart guy? A few different options.

Option #1
Obviously, my personal choice for notebooks is to use System76, as they provide you with well supported Intel wireless chipset options built into the notebook. You could this yourself, however if there’s a bug, it’s nice having these guys there to lend a hand down when something comes up. I’ve owned two of their systems and have one on a lend for the show, flawless, simply flawless support based on my experience.

Option #2
You can get out of the box support with laptops that use some Broadcom chipsets, most Atheros chipsets and nearly all Intel chipsets. If you’re confident in taking apart a notebook, go for it. Many of these devices support 802.11n.

Option #3 (Newbie friendly)
Be lazy like me, get yourself a reliable since Ubuntu Dapper dongle using rt73usb. I like the TP-Link TL-WN321G as a readily available option. This is great if you can handle 802.11g only speeds and don’t want to connect with 802.11n.

Option #4 ( a little DIY, but totally worth it)
From the show’s tutorial, my Edimax EW-7718Un dongle. Supports up to 300 Mb/s. Unfortunately, this too, is a dongle that has become difficult to find. There are newer options though, using the same driver scheme. Both dongles work with the rt2870STA (replacing the newer, non-working rt2800usb option) how to I talked about.

Some of the Great Feedback:

Matt’s Howto:

Jitsi: Works great with Ubuntu on our Wild Dog PC from System76.com, plus it will allow you a viable alternative to have video chat conversations with those using OS X and Windows. All three platforms support screen sharing. Linux version only shows the incoming video, previewing your own video while in a call, isn’t working. Video preview does however, work great on the other platforms. The really neat part is with a HD webcam, you can actually video chat in full HD quality video.

We found that setting up jabber accounts, using Gmail credincials, provided success with Jitsi. GoogleTalk isn’t going to give you video chat, you need to take that Google login and use it in the jabber account area instead.

All of this good stuff aside, it should be noted that this software hasn’t been updated in sometime. So it could break sometime down the road. Still, for those who don’t distro hop much, this is a great alternative to Skype. Install via https://jitsi.org/index.php/Main/Download
