KDE – Plasma 5.9 Kicks off 2017 in Style.

Tuesday, 31 January 2017. Today KDE releases this year’s first Plasma feature update, Plasma 5.9. While this release brings many exciting new features to your desktop, we’ll continue to provide bugfixes to Plasma 5.8 LTS.

Black market Blackphones get sent a kill message that bricks them [Updated] | Ars Technica

A reader in Germany contacted Ars after the update “bricked” his phone, which he had purchased through eBay. “The Blackphone 2 I’ve received came in retail packaging and looks just like the one that you guys reviewed,” the reader told Ars. “It worked up to Silent OS 3.0.7 Silent OS, [but] 3.0.8 seems to intentionally brick the baseband on some devices.”

Re: RAID56 status?

I’d like to update the wiki to “More and more RAID5/6 bugs are found”

OK, no kidding, at least we did exposed several new bugs, and reports
already exists for a while in mail list.

Some examples are:

1) RAID5/6 scrub will repair data while corrupting parity
   Quite ironic, repairing is just changing one corruption to
   another.

2) RAID5/6 scrub can report false alerts on csum error

3) Dev-replace cancel sometimes can cause kernel panic.

And if we find more bugs, I’m not surprised at all.

So, if really want to use RAID5/6, please use soft raid, then build
single volume btrfs on it.

I’m seriously considering to re-implement btrfs RAID5/6 using device
mapper, which is tried and true.

Building a local Steam caching server to ease the bandwidth blues | Ars Technica

SteamPipe is used to deliver what the client needs, be it a whole game or just an update, in roughly megabyte-size chunks. (Chunking like this allows developers to publish updates without having to push a whole new game package—they just invalidate old chunks and upload new ones.) As Valve points out on the SteamPipe developer community page, SteamPipe uses plain ol’ HTTP rather than a proprietary protocol. And that gives us the opportunity to stick our fingers into the process and mess with it.

How things will work with our Steam caching server if what we want isn’t in cache.

Invite friends to SSH into your laptop using their Github handle

Wouldn’t it be great to allow a fellow developer to quickly and securely SSH into
your laptop when you’re in the middle of a debugging session even if you are on two
separate networks behind NAT?

A few months ago we released a free tool, Teleconsole, we built so we
could do exactly that. We are a distributed team, with bare metal servers sitting in our San Francisco office, several AWS and Azure regions and a bunch of customer environments we are sometimes asked to jump into.

GeckoLinux – Linux for Detail Oriented Geckos

GeckoLinux is a Linux spin based on the openSUSE distribution, with a focus on polish and out-of-the-box usability on the desktop. It is available in Static (based on openSUSE Leap) and Rolling (based on openSUSE Tumbleweed) editions.

Five States Are Considering Bills to Legalize the ‘Right to Repair’ Electronics

_The legislation is modeled on the _Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act a law passed in Massachusetts in 2012. T_hat law effectively became national legislation, because auto manufacturers feared having to deal with the intricacies of 50 different state laws on the issue. The hope is that at least one electronics right to repair law will pass this year, similarly opening the floodgates for consumers and repair companies around the country.

Kicking Off Budgie 11

At this moment in time, the core remaining reason for Budgie even “working” on the GNOME stack, is that it expends
an awful lot of effort pretending to be GNOME Shell

Wine 2.0 is out, ready to disappoint you once again

Wine 2.0 is out, which is a huge milestone for the project. It has more support for more software, includes a lot of graphics speedups, and even supports retina displays on Mac. The list of compatible software is indeed impressive — the latest and greatest apps are rarely supported, but many relatively recent “classics” like Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and Office 2013 are supposedly operational.

Simplehelp Delivers on Commitment to Linux

The real test of any software is not in its function but in how well the company stands behind the product. Well, this week that test happened. Simplehelp made an update that made the client totally unusable under Linux. Any key you pressed would repeat constantly and right mouse clicks would not work at all. I tweeted them. They responded again almost immediately and asked for specific distributions they could test. I gave them the distributions and the next tweet I received was them telling me the problem was fixed.

Message:

Hey guys! Love the show, and had a question that I was wondering if I could get an opinion on from the two foremost Linux experts. I’m currently an Arch user, but I’m troubled by your recent stories of Arch breaking at a crucial time. I am considering a switch back to Xubuntu 16.04 when my new x260 (thanks Noah!) arrives, because I’ve noticed that the Arch system I have created now is very similar to a base install of Xubuntu. I enjoy the rolling release/bleeding edge nature of Arch (especially Pragha in the default repos and the newest version of Firejail), but wonder if Xubuntu would be more “bulletproof” (In keeping with your newest of discussions) and if Arch is worth the trouble if it will essentially be used to create Xubuntu. Thank you, love the show, and keep up the great work!

Message:

Arch Linux proper with the linux-lts kernel, nvidia-lts driver if using Nvidia, and a Desktop Environment that is NOT Gnome or Plasma.

The only issues I have had with Arch Linux have been tied to the graphics driver, display manager, and desktop environment.

I love Gnome and Plasma, however both are being updated too often to be considered bullet proof. Use something boring like XFCE or MATE if you want bulletproof. By default XFCE and MATE look pretty boring, but they can be tweaked to look amazing. Check out reddit.com/r/unixporn

Goran J Writes

Subject: HiDPI Support in Linux
Message: Hi Chris and Noah…and Rikai

Today I bought a brand new 28” Samsung UHD monitor so I could enjoy its glorious 4K resolution in my Linux Mint desktop. When I turned on the monitor I was caught by surprise. The image was beautiful and everything was super sharp….and super super tiny at the same time. Searching through the Linux Mint and the nVidia settings I could not find HiDPI option so I can scale my desktop and have a more enjoyable environment. Internet search came back with results that HiDPI in Linux is still not a standard feature. With the amount of 4K display on the market I wonder why. Is there any other Linux Distro that offers HiDPI scaling or I am out of options?

Thanks!
Goran J

Subject: Contact other listeners
Message: Hi Guys/Gals!

I often hear Chris mention anecdotes of listeners getting hired into Linux jobs, and I’d like to hire some of them.

Since there’s no official forum aside from Reddit, and I’m not keen on the idea of posting job listings on Reddit, what would you suggest as a way for me to reach out to JB listeners in the New England area (or willing to move here) that might be looking for a Linux-centric tech job?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Dave M
