Is your SSH password revealed when you attempt to connect to the wrong server?

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.

• GitHub – Netflix/bless: Repository for BLESS, an SSH Certificate Authority that runs as a AWS Lambda function

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
• microSD card with Snappy Ubuntu Core as OS
• Apache, MySQL and the latest Nextcloud 10 pre-installed and ready to go

The Box is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2, which you need to supply yourself. The Box can also fit the Raspberry Pi 3 and the oDroid C2. These will be supported by the software in a future release.

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

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!

ownCloud 9 Review

Federated Sharing – What’s new in ownCloud 9.0

With ownCloud 9.0 we made it even easier to exchange the Federated Cloud IDs. Below you can see the administrator setting for the new Federation App, which will be enabled by default.

The option “Add server automatically once a federated share was created successfully” is enabled by default. This means, that as soon as a user creates a federated share with another ownCloud, either as a recipient or as a sender, ownCloud will add the remote server to the list of trusted ownClouds. Additionally you can predefined a list of trusted ownClouds. While technically it is possible to use plain http I want to point out that I really recommend to use https for all federated share operations to secure your users and their data.

What does it mean that two ownClouds trust each other? ownCloud 9.0 automatically creates a internal address book which contains all users accounts. If two ownClouds trust each other they will start to synchronize their system address books. In order to synchronize the system address books and to keep them up-to-date we use the well known and widespread CardDAV protocol. After the synchronization was successful ownCloud will know all users from the trusted remote servers, including their Federated Cloud ID and their display name. The share dialog will use this information for auto-completion. This allows you to share files across friendly ownClouds without knowing more than the users name. ownCloud will automatically find the corresponding Federated Cloud ID and will suggest the user as a recipient of your share.

Time to Upgrade to ownCloud 9.0!

Why Should I Upgrade?

• Read this blog post for 5 reasons to upgrade to a newer ownCloud. A summary:

1. ownCloud usage grew last year from 2.4 to 8 million so newer releases have far more users
2. Testing improves, benefiting newer releases more than older, in part because
3. Backporting is limited to security fixes for releases older than Latest-1
4. Clients take advantage of features only in newer server versions
5. We introduce features which improve reliability

Raspberry Pi 3 Is Looking Towards Upstream Kernel Support

Today on his blog Anholt wrote, “I spent most of [the month] working on the Raspberry Pi 3 support so I could have a working branch for upstream day 1. That involved cleaning up the SDHOST driver for submission, cleaning up pinctrl DT, writing an I2C GPIO expander driver, debugging the I2C controller, fixing HDMI hotplug handling, debugging EMMC (not quite done!), scraping together some wireless firmware, and a bunch of work trying to get BT working on the UART. I’m happy to say that on day 1 I published a branch that worked the same as a RPi2, and by the end of the day I had wireless working. Some of the patches are now out for review, and I’ll be working on cleaning up the rest in the near future.”

New Generations of Products Powered by Pi

• The Raspberry Pi 3 Is Here! – Mycroft

We are testing Mycroft with the Pi 3 and if all goes as planned we will be shipping our backers Mycroft units with a Raspberry Pi 3 at its core. We’d like to thank the Raspberry Pi foundation for all of the work they do to bring makers, hackers and students such a great platform.

Ryan Sipes Mycroft CTO

• Mycroft
• Mycroft: An Open Source Artificial Intelligence For Everyone by Joshua Montgomery — Kickstarter
• Slice : A media player and more by FiveNinjas — Kickstarter
• Meet OTTO – The Hackable GIF Camera by Next Thing Co. — Kickstarter

Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3

We have done what we can to optimise the build for the Raspberry Pi 2
and Raspberry Pi 3, you can comfortably use applications such as
LibreOffice, which in fact is a joy to use But the microSDHC I/O
throughput is a bottleneck so we recommend that you use a Class 6 or
Class 10 microSDHC card.

Other 64bit Kits of Awesome

The Odroid-C2 already has 2GB of RAM, which is also available on the $29 “Plus” version of Pine64’s Pine A64, a quad-core, Cortex-A53 Allwinner A64 SBC with a 40-pin Pi-compatible connector. The PineA64 will soon start shipping to Kickstarter backers, and Pine64 is processing new orders for shipment starting in May.

The $15 version of the Pine A64 with 512MB RAM is sold out, but there’s also a $19 version with 1GB RAM that also moves up to Gigabit Ethernet. As with the Odroid-C2, wireless is an extra-cost option, and despite the Pine A64’s larger dimensions, even the top models are limited to dual USB host ports instead of four on the C2 and Raspberry Pi.

The only other 64-bit ARM hacker boards currently shipping are more expensive 96Boards-compatible SBCs, both of which have onboard wireless. These include Qualcomm’s quad-core, $75 DragonBoard 410c and the octa-core, $99 to $129 HiKey.

RPi Laptop Dock

NexDock is a revolutionary laptop that harnesses the productivity of smartphones, tablets and mini PCs by adding a bluetooth keyboard, a capable battery and a 14-inch screen

Imagine a computer that one day you can use as Chromebook, and the next day as an Ubuntu developer laptop. Imagine a longer lasting computer that you can easily upgrade and customize to become a powerful Windows gamer laptop.
We envision a world where we carry only our mini PCs, which connect to any screen in the world to turn them into tablets, laptops and PCs.

Spotify for Linux Sucks, But At Least We Now Know Why

In a post to the Spotify community forum,company rep ‘Jooon’ reveals that: “…since after September, we have had no developers working on the linux client”.

Microsoft wants to monopolise games development on PC. We must fight it

In my view, this is the most aggressive move Microsoft has ever made. While the company has been convicted of violating antitrust law in the past, its wrongful actions were limited to fights with specific competitors and contracts with certain PC manufacturers.

T-Platforms launches a Linux-based, MIPS-powered all-in-one PC (in Russia)

Most modern desktop and notebook computers ship with Intel or AMD processors and Windows or OS X software. A few companies are positioning products with ARM-based chips as desktop computers. But the Tavolga Terminal TB-T22BT is something different.

The computer is made by Russian company T-Platforms, which also offers an SF-BT1 processor module for those that want to build their own hardware.

Both devices use a Baikal-T1 processor which is a 32-bit dual-core MIPS P5600 processor. Like the computers, the chip was designed in Russia, although it’s based on work from Imagination Technologies (the company behind the MIPS architecture)

Thunderbolt Comes to Linux

Already compatible with Windows PCs and Macs, the super-fast Thunderbolt 3 connector technology will soon also work with Linux PCs. The technology will be featured in a new model of Dell’s upcoming XPS 13 Developer Edition, which will have Ubuntu Linux. Thunderbolt 3 will be available via a USB Type-C port.

The PC maker is building driver support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C into the XPS 13 Developer Edition, wrote a Dell employee in a company forum.

Thunderbolt 3 is a connector technology that can hook up PCs to external peripherals like storage and monitors. It’s like USB, but four times faster. A 4K movie could be transferred from an external storage device to a PC in 30 seconds.

Linux PCs will be a lot more capable with Thunderbolt 3. Users will be able to connect two 4K monitors simultaneously, connect to external graphics cards and establish a peer-to-peer network with other Linux PCs.

Linux Solves Rubics Cube

The fastest time for a human to solve a Rubik’s cube is 4.9 seconds. This robot can do it in 1.019 seconds.

Software engineers Jay Flatland and Paul Rose built this piece of kit, which uses four webcams to determine the state of the jumbled cube. The information is then fed into a computer, using the Kociemba Rubik’s cube-solving algorithm to work out a set of moves to solve the puzzle. A set of small motors mounted in a 3D-printed frame then swivel the, presumably extremely well-oiled, Rubik’s cube.

The previous quickest time for a robot to solve the cube is 2.39 seconds, so it looks like this could be a record breaker; however, they’re still waiting for official verification from Guinness World Records.

Pretty impressive. Although some super slow-motion footage wouldn’t go amiss.

• Richard Stallman is the hero the internet needs

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:

• He warned of the growing danger of DRM in his great short story The Right to Read (1997).
• He refuses to own a cellphone, on the grounds that it might be used as a tracking or covert listening device. This still sounds slightly paranoid, but looks increasingly possible.
• Stallman considers cloud computing dangerous. In 2008 I thought this was alarmist; now nobody trusts the cloud.
• He’s always held that proprietary software cannot be trusted. Windows 10’s shady behaviour proves that he has a point.

Pipecut tries to facilitate the development of pipelines by letting you see your data and your shell commands at the same time, eliminating the back and forth editing cycle of entering and quitting more(or less), then recalling and editing the command line. Since pipecut has an AST view of the Unix command line, it can provide shortcuts, optimizations, and do code generation that would not be possible otherwise.

cmus is a small, fast and powerful console music player for Unix-like operating systems.

• The Tilde Text Editor – ghalkes:~#

Tilde is a text editor for the console/terminal, which provides an intuitive
interface for people accustomed to GUI environments such as Gnome, KDE
and Windows. For example, the short-cut to copy the current selection is
Control-C, and to paste the previously copied text the short-cut Control-V can
be used. As another example, the File menu can be accessed by pressing Meta-F.

The power in the middle east is being reset as Russia and its allies strike US backed rebels in Syria. Today we get officials on record confirming the CIA has been training and arming rebels & that Russian is initially striking those “rebels”.

How this could dramatically impact the US’s involvement in the middle east & our future plans for Assad in this week’s episode of Unfilter.

Keeping Linux Performing Well.

Tips and tricks for keeping your Linux box in top performance.

• If you gotta swap, swap on a sep disk

Creating your swap files on a separate disk can also help quite a bit, especially if your machine swaps frequently. It happens if you do not have enough RAM for your environment. Using KDE with all the features and applications that come along may require several GiB of memory, whereas a tiny window manager with console applications will perfectly fit in less than 512 MiB of memory.

• XFS – ArchWiki

Although the extent-based nature of XFS and the delayed allocation strategy it uses significantly improves the file system’s resistance to fragmentation problems, XFS provides a filesystem defragmentation utility (xfs_fsr, short for XFS filesystem reorganizer) that can defragment the files on a mounted and active XFS filesystem. It can be useful to view XFS fragmentation periodically.

• Is it REALLY worth Tuning your IO scheduler?

The kernel supports different schedulers for storage disk in-/output (IO). These are the CFQ scheduler (Completely Fair Queuing), the NOOP and Deadline. Another, the BFQ (Budget Fair Scheduler) is available in the linux-zen kernel.

A HDD has spinning disks and head that move physically to the required location. Such structure leads to following characteristics:

• random latency it quite high, for modern HDD it is ~10ms (ignoring a disk controller write buffer).
• sequential access provides much higher throughput. In this case head needs to move less distance.

In case if we have a lot of running processes that make IO requests to different parts of storage (i.e. random access) then we can expect that a disk handles ~100 IO requests per second. Because modern systems can easily generate load much higher than 100 requests per second we have a queue of requests that have to wait for access to the storage. One way to improve throughput is to linearize access, i.e. order waiting requests by its logical address and always choose the closest request. Historically this was the first Linux IO scheduler called elevator scheduler.

One of the problems with the elevator algorithm is that it makes suffer processes with sequential access. Such processes read a block of data then process it for several microseconds then read next block and so on. The elevator scheduler does not know that the process is going to read another block nearby and, thus, moves to another request at some other location. To overcome the problem anticipatory IO scheduler was added. For synchronous requests this algorithm waits for a short amount of time before moving to another request.

While these schedulers try to improve total throughput they also might leave some unlucky requests waiting for a very long time.

Going my own way

In the end it’s a mixture of just being tired of dealing with the crap associated with Linux development and realising that by continuing to put up with it I’m tacitly encouraging its continuation, but I can’t be bothered any more. And, thanks to the magic of free software, it turns out that I can avoid putting up with the bullshit in the kernel community and get to work on the things I’m interested in doing. So here’s a kernel tree with patches that implement a BSD-style securelevel interface. Over time it’ll pick up some of the power management code I’m still working on, and we’ll see where it goes from there. But, until there’s a significant shift in community norms on LKML, I’ll only be there when I’m being paid to be there. And that’s improved my mood immeasurably.
