In today's fast-paced technological landscape, the rapid evolution of hardware often leaves older devices obsolete, particularly when it comes to operating systems. The increasing requirements for modern operating systems, such as Windows 11, pose significant challenges for charities and individuals looking to repurpose older laptops. However, one viable solution that not only extends the life of these devices but also promotes sustainability is the installation of Linux operating systems.The Challenge of ObsolescenceAs technology advances, operating systems and software applications demand more from hardware. Windows 11, for instance, requires at least an 8th generation Intel CPU, along with other specifications that many older laptops do not meet. This creates a dilemma for organizations like charities that receive donated laptops. While these devices may be functional, their inability to run the latest operating systems often leads to their disposal or relegation to e-waste recycling - a process that is not only environmentally taxing but also wasteful.The Benefits of LinuxLinux emerges as a powerful alternative for repurposing old laptops. Unlike Windows, Linux distributions (or "distros") are designed to be lightweight and flexible, making them suitable for older hardware. Here are several compelling reasons to consider Linux for repurposing old laptops:Compatibility with Older HardwareMany Linux distributions are specifically tailored to run on older machines. Distros like Ubuntu MATE, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu are known for their efficiency and can breathe new life into laptops that struggle with more demanding operating systems.Cost-EffectiveLinux is open-source and free to use, which means that charities and individuals can install it without incurring licensing fees. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that operate on tight budgets and seek to maximize the resources they have.Security and UpdatesWhile Windows 10 is approaching its end of life and will no longer receive security updates unless users pay for extended support, many Linux distributions offer regular updates and support from their communities. This ensures that users can maintain a secure computing environment without the looming threat of outdated software.Diverse Software EcosystemLinux provides access to a vast array of software applications for various needs, from productivity tools to multimedia editing. Users can find alternatives to popular software that runs on Windows, allowing them to perform everyday tasks without the need for expensive licenses.Community SupportThe Linux community is known for its robust support networks. Users can easily find help through forums, online documentation, and user groups, making it easier for those unfamiliar with Linux to transition smoothly.Environmental ImpactBy choosing to install Linux on older laptops, we are not only extending the life of these devices but also contributing to a more sustainable future. E-waste is a growing concern, with millions of tons generated each year. Repurposing laptops with Linux helps reduce this waste by keeping devices in use longer and minimizing the demand for new hardware. In an era where environmental sustainability is paramount, this practice aligns with broader efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and promote responsible consumption.ConclusionRepurposing old laptops with Linux is a practical and sustainable approach to technology that benefits both individuals and the environment. As discussed in the Piltch Point podcast, the challenges posed by modern operating systems can be mitigated through the adoption of Linux, which offers compatibility, cost savings, security, and community support. By embracing this alternative, we can ensure that older laptops continue to serve their purpose, providing valuable resources to those in need while reducing electronic waste. In doing so, we take a meaningful step towards a more sustainable and responsible technological future.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Maintaining The Remote System I have renamed the project Libre Indie Archive because the name theindiearchive is already someone else's domain. I never would have renamed The Indie Archive but I do think that Libre Indie Archive is more descriptive, hence, better. I am getting close to a pre beta push up to codeberg. Anyone following along who wants to help test, you can do this with two or three old systems. Let me know. Email hairylarry@gmail.com or on Mastodon I am @hairylarry@gamerplus.org. I have decided to develop and document for Xubuntu first and here's the reasons why. I bought an older HP small form factor office system with 4 Gigabytes of ram. HP Compaq 4000 Pro Pentium Dual-Core E6600 3.06GHz 4GB RAM Thirty dollars on ebay with shipping and taxes. I was testing Libre Indie Archive on it. Because of the age of the system Ubuntu wouldn't install. I tested it with some BSD systems and installed Indie Archive without a GUI. Ghost BSD didn't install but Midnight BSD did install so I used the Midnight BSD GUI and installed Indie Archive. None of this was easy for me because I'm a BSD newb and unless you already use BSD I can't recommend it for Libre Indie Archive. Remember, not all indie producers are computer programmers, and I want Indie Archive to work for those producers as well as for the computer savvy. Then on a whim I thought I would try the Xubuntu 24.04 distro and it installed no problems. Thanks XFCE for keeping it light. The other reason I am developing and documenting for Xubuntu is that I can use the Xubuntu install document and install on Ubuntu or Debian with only minor differences. I know because I tried it. This is probably also true for other Debian and Ubuntu derived distributions. So, if you want to help, you could take the Xubuntu install document and see if it works on other distributions. Write down what you had to change and let me know. I plan on making an install checklist out of the install document and it would be great to have a checklist with the actual commands for several distributions. So, that was the intro. Now on to the topic. I am planning on installing remotenear and remotefar systems, remotenear being a short drive away (or maybe in your home if your studio is not in your home, like mine) and the remotefar further away to avoid losing data in the case of a regional catastrophe like flood, fire, tornado, or hurricane. Still even a short drive is not what I want to do any time there might be something I need to check on a remote system so I have devised a way to manage it from the secondary system. When a remote system is delivered to a new location it will be headless. No monitor, no keyboard, and no mouse. At the remote location it is plugged into a UPS and attached to the network with an ethernet cable and attached to the UPS with a usb cable. Then it is turned on. Even without a keyboard or a mouse there is still some local control of the system available. As part of the remote system install we go into the power management settings and next to "when power button is pressed" we select shutdown. So, a short press on the power button initiates a Xubuntu shutdown just like the shutdown that you get from the menu or Alt F4. If that doesn't work a long press of the power button will turn the system off. This is like unplugging the system or losing power and is not recommended but Xubuntu will rebuild the file structure when the system is restarted. And if you do lose power the UPS will send a signal to the computer shutting it down with a controlled shutdown, just like a short press of the power button or a shutdown from the menu. I would like to carry this one step further and enable automatic power up for the computer. A quick search shows cyberpower PowerPanel software for linux. Also you can set a power restore function in the BIOS to restart the system when the power is restored. I just checked and this worked on my little HP. So ... with just the power button and an attached UPS you can get both manual and automatic control of shutting the remote system down and restarting it. Pretty cool for a rather sparse interface. If you know more about how to set this up please let me know. There's a big jump between doing a search to see if something is possible and actually implementing it. Okay, that was the easy part. Now for the fun part. First off, the remote system is probably not going to be at your place but at the home or business of friends or family. And they probably don't have a static IP, and they may not be able to implement port forwarding in their router, and they may not be able to control their firewall. So we can't go, "I'll just ssh in when I need to fix a problem". And you don't really want to change their setup anyway because all of the above add to their security risk. Also their router undoubtedly gives dynamic IP addresses so we want the remote system to use that because when we are setting it up we might not even know what subnet their LAN uses. But, at the same time it doesn't make any sense at all to try to maintain a remote system that you can't log into. So, the tool for setting up a terminal session on the remote system is called a remote tunnel reverse shell. The remote system is already connecting to the secondary system with rsync ssh when the cron job fires off every day to update the files. So, the secondary system is running an ssh server and the remote system has the public key that allows access without entering a password. There are two parts to setting up a remote tunnel reverse shell. The secondary system has to be listening for the remote system on a port, I use port 7070. And then the remote system runs a bash command with the -i parameter that means reverse shell, and with the port, 7070. I'm using nc to set up the listener. nc -lvnp 7070 -l is --listen -v is --verbose -n means the port is restricted to numeric values. -p is --port 7070 is the port I chose the port number, 7070. You can use any available port but the listener has to use the same port as the remote system uses in the bash call. Which is this. bash -i >& /dev/tcp/your-static-ip-from-your-isp/7070 0>&1 This is the order of events. On the secondary system I start listening. nc -lvnp 7070 Then a script runs on the remote system. bash -i >& /dev/tcp/your-static-ip-from-your-isp/7070 0>&1 And then a command prompt opens up in the terminal on the secondary system that's listening. And you are logged into the remote system and you can look around and check things out and even move or delete files until you exit. Except it didn't work. Of course not, nothing ever works the first time. Two other things have to be changed that we're going to talk about now, the firewall and port forwarding. These things are already discussed in install.txt because we had to fix the firewall and port forwarding for the remote system to log into the secondary system to pick up the new files. To set up port forwarding, log into your router from a browser attached to the router. Like, for instance, a browser on your secondary system. You open the browser and type into the address bar, 192.168.1.1 Which is right most of the time. On my setup I type 192.168.2.1 because the isp's router uses the 192.168.1 subnet. How do I know which to use??? This also is covered in install.txt because to connect from the primary system to the secondary system I have to connect to the static ip that I assigned to the secondary system. So my primary system has the static ip 192.168.2.11 and my secondary system has the static ip 192.168.2.12 which allows me to ssh into the secondary system from the primary system. And this means my router is at 192.168.2.1 Your router is likely at 192.168.1.1 because that's the most common LAN subnet. Anyway, in the browser I open the router's control console and then I have to enter the password. If you don't know what it is you have to find out and write it down. Check what the defaults are for your router by searching on the internet. The defaults might work. If they do change your login and password and write them down! Do not leave your router defaults in place. That's a big security risk. After you're logged into the control console check around in the menus for Port Forwarding. I already had to do this to make ssh work from the remote system to the secondary system. In that case I had to forward port 22 (the ssh port) from the internet to the secondary system. Here's how that works. On the remote system I type. ssh indiearchive@your-static-ip-from-your-isp Since it's coming in as ssh that means the router sees port 22. The router checks the port forwarding table and sees that incoming traffic using port 22 should go to the secondary system, in my case 192.168.2.12 So the incoming ssh goes to the secondary system which is my ssh server. What a coincidence. So in order to use port 7070 to open a tunnel from the remote system to the secondary system I have to add a row to the port forwarding table with 7070 as the port and 192.168.2.12 as the ip. Except on your LAN the ip address may be different. Except it doesn't work. I bet you guessed why. It's the firewall. On the secondary system type. sudo ufw status It should show you that port 22 is allowed because otherwise you wouldn't be getting ssh traffic. It probably won't show you that port 7070 is allowed. So type. sudo ufw allow 7070 Then check the status again and see if it shows 7070. Here's a nice firewall link with instructions. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/ufw-essentials-common-firewall-rules-and-commands It still might not work even though it should. Why? Operator error. You may have typed 7000 instead of 7070. (I did that.) Or any other little typo in any of the commands. When this works you are ready to test the reverse shell. The remote system can ssh into the secondary system and we have added port 7070 to the port forwarding table on the router and to the firewall on the secondary system. This is great! But how do I know when to listen and how do I get the remote system to issue the bash command that sets up the reverse shell? Remember, in the future the remote system is going to be sitting somewhere with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Only computer programmers are required to remember the future. After all that setup, here's the clever bit. I have a text file on the secondary system named letmein.txt and it's a flag with two values. The text file either reads yes or no. If it reads yes it means I'm here at the secondary system and I want to log into the remote system. If it reads no. Not so much. I'm not really trying to log in to the remote system at all. The remote system has ssh access to the secondary system since that's the way it picks up the new files, with rsync ssh. So the remote system can use rsync to copy the letmein.txt file over to it's hard drive. And it does this every five minutes, with a cron job. On the remote system type sudo -s to become root. crontab -e to edit the root crontab. Add this line */5 * * * * /home/indiearchive/check.sh Every 5 minutes the remote system runs check.sh which grabs the letmein.txt file and checks to see if it says yes or no. If it says yes it starts the reverse shell, assuming I remembered to start listening to port 7070 on the secondary system. After I'm done working on the remote system while sitting at the secondary system I type exit to close the remote terminal and come back to the terminal on the secondary system. If I forgot to do something I can start listening again but if I'm done I edit letmein.txt to say no and the remote system will quit trying to set up a reverse shell every 5 minutes. But wait! There's more. Email notifications. I set up email notifications with mailersend for file integrity reports using curl. To do that I wrote a script called send.sh that takes a file name as an argument and then sends me an email with the contents of the file in the body of the email. So when I run my file integrity program if the log files are larger than they should be, it means there is a discrepancy and that log file gets emailed to me so I can check things out. (Maybe with my remote tunnel reverse shell.) I also check diskspace with df and send a disk space report. Using send.sh when I run check.sh and detect a yes in letmein.txt I call send.sh with letmein.txt as the parameter and I get an email that says yes, meaning the remote system is trying to set up a reverse shell. So if I change letmein.txt to yes on the secondary system and I wait five or ten minutes without getting notified I may just have to make a call. Maybe the nice people who are hosting my remote system have lost power. Or internet. Or maybe they will have to push a button. If that doesn't work I may have to make a trip. I hope it's remotenear and not remotefar. So when I was testing the email notifications part of check.sh and fiddling around with the code all of a sudden I quit getting notifications at all. I learned a lot about bash scripting trying to figure out what I did wrong and it turned out it wasn't me. After I sent myself numerous emails saying yes from a weird email address gmail decided they were spam. So I went into my spam folder and marked the notification email as not spam. That fixed it for me but if you are setting up email notifications for Libre Indie Archive or for anything be sure you white list the email address so that the email powers that be don't suddenly decide that your notifications are spam and you quit getting important notifications. In gmail you set up a filter entry with the notifier's email address and set the action to be "Never send it to Spam". Because getting these emails is important. First they remind me to have the secondary system listen. Then they remind me to change letmein.txt from yes to no after I'm done with the remote terminal. And while you're changing letmein.txt to no make sure the listener is off. Leaving it listening for an extended period of time is a security risk. So there's a lot of little moving parts involved in this. Kind of complicated but still fascinating. Almost done. I didn't think this would be so long and now I'm exhausted. I am including slightly redacted and well commented copies of check.sh and send.sh in the show notes which will be on Hacker Public Radio and on my Delta Boogie Network-Gamer+ blog at home.gamerplus.org. As always, I appreciate your comments. Thanks Provide feedback on this episode.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. What Is The Indie Archive? I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to the Plain Text Programs podcast. The Indie Archive is a archival solution for indie producers. Since most indie producers run on a shoestring budget it's important that the Indie Archive is inexpensive to install and run. It's especially important that monthly expenses are minimal because a reasonable expense most months will sometimes be more than an indie producer can afford during some months. The first major constraint is cost. So I'll be talking about prices a lot in this podcast and get more technical in future podcasts about The Indie Archive. Indie Archive is an archival system which is different than a backup system. If you don't have a backup system do that first. My backup system uses the same tools as Indie Archive, rsync and rsnapshot. My brother uses the online backup service Carbonite. There are many other options. A good backup system runs automatically to back up everything frequently and preserve version history. It's also good to have backups offsite. An archival system, like Indie Archive, keeps multiple redundant copies across several hard drives on several systems in multiple locations. An archival system also checks file integrity as protection against file corruption or user error. When you have a project you really never want to lose, like a finished novel, a music album, a video, or any other major effort that involves significant work, that's when you need an archival system. So The Indie Archive does not automatically backup your projects every day. That's what your backup system should do. The Indie Archive is an archival system where the producer of the content decides what needs to be archived and when it needs to be archived and then manually moves a directory containing the files onto the Indie Archive carefully preserving the file's metadata during the transfer. Then these files are propagated over at least 7 hard drives on 4 different systems in three locations. File integrity checks are run daily comparing the files and reporting discrepancies. Two of the systems are kept in the studio where the content is produced. I call them the primary and secondary systems. They have a boot drive and two data drives each. One of the systems is kept offsite at a nearby location. I call it the remote system. It also has a boot drive and two data drives. If you have a more distant location where you can put a second remotes system you can have remotenear and remotefar systems. Otherwise ... The final system is somewhere in the cloud provided by a professional data storage provider. It has a single copy of the data and usually some additional data retention. The provider makes the backups of this data. This is the part that might involve a monthly bill. So, depending on the size of your file set, it could be free or it could cost so much a month. There are a lot of options for cloud storage providers. But first I'm going to discuss the three systems, primary, secondary, and remote, and how they function. As far as the hardware goes the systems are the same. Now, I"m a Linix guy and I do all my production work on Linux so I'm using Linux. I want to test the system on several versions of Linux and with BSD. I'm not a Mac guy or a Windows guy so I won't be going there. The software is open source and the required programs run on all three platforms so I'll let a Mac or Windows programmer test The Indie Archive for their systems. My guess is that the Mac fork will be easier than the Windows fork because of the file metadata. It might even be possible to add Mac folders to The Indie Archive running Linux but I'll let someone who actually has a Mac figure that out. I don't think the same is true for Windows. Windows file metadata is different and so if you want to preserve the metadata you will probably have to install The Indie Archive on Windows systems. So, I'm developing and deploying on Linux and I will also test on BSD. So far I have tested Debian, Ununtu, FreeBSD, Midnight BSD, and Xubuntu and The Indie Archive works fine all of these operating systems. So, back to the hardware. Pretty much any older system that will support at least three sata drives will work. I'm using older business class desktops, Dell and HP. I pulled mine out of storage but they are very inexpensive to buy if you're not like me with a shed full of old computer stuff. I just bought a Small Form Factor HP Desktop on ebay for $30 including tax and shipping. To clarify, it's best if the primary system supports 4 sata drives. The secondary and remote systems do not need an optical drive so they should support three sata drives but they can be run on two sata drives if you boot from the primaryfile drive. I am currently testing a remote system with two sata drives running Midnight BSD. The Dell desktops made a big deal about being green. I am open to suggestions on what would be the best energy efficient systems for The Indie Archive, because of both the cost of electricity and the impact on the environment. There are three drives on each system, a boot drive and two data drives. The boot drives can be SSD or spinning hard drives and need to be big enough to hold the OS comfortably. The data drives need to be large enough to hold the files you want to archive and they should be high quality spinning drives, I use the multi terrabyte HGST drives and I am also looking at some Dell drives made by HGST. There will be a data drive and a snapshot drive on each system. If they are not the same size the snapshot drives should be larger. I am testing with 3 terrabyte data drives and 4 terrabyte snapshot drives. Besides the main data set that is being archived the snapshot drives also hold the version history of files that have been deleted or changed. So, that's why they should be the larger drive. So my primary system has a primaryfiles directory with a 3 terrabyte drive mounted to it and a primarysnapshots directory with a 4 terrabyte drive mounted to it. Same for the secondary and remote systems. Now, so far I only had to buy one drive but generally speaking the six data drives will be the major expense in assembling the systems. So a good bargain on six 4 terrabyte drives could be $120 used or $270 new. And this is the most expensive part. I install used HGST drives all the time and rarely have problems with them. I have worked for clients who won't buy used, only new. Since the file integrity checks should give early warning on a drive failure and since there is a seven drive redundancy on the data files, if I were buying drives for The Indie Archive I'd go with six used 4 terrabyte HGST drives for $120. There is no reason not to use drives all the same size as long as the snapshot drives are large enough. The size of data drives you need depends on the size of your projects and the time it takes to do a project. Look at your hard drives on your working systems. Think about what directories you would like to see in archival storage. What is the total size of these directories? Check how many gigabytes these projects have consumed in the last year. Think forward a few years. Assume you will use more disc space in the future than you are now. Do some quick arithmetic and make a decision. Like I said I only had to buy one drive so far because I'm weird and I had a bunch of 3 terrabyte drives available. If I had to buy drives I probably would have tried to start larger. I am sure that at some point in the not to distant future, when I am running The Indie Archive and not developing it, I will have to upgrade my drives. The primary system is the console for The Indie Archive. When you copy a project onto The Indie Archive the directory goes into the primaryfiles directory. From there it is propagated out to the primarysnapshots directory, the secondary system, the cloud storage (if you are using it), and eventually to the remote systems. All of the data propagation is done with rsync using the archive setting that is desigend to preserve the file metadata like owner, permissions, and date last modified. So I have been using rsync with the archive setting to move the files from the work system to a usb drive and from the usb drive to the primaryfiles folder. At first I thought I would use an optical disc to move the files but optical discs do not preserve file metadata. Also I had some weird results with a usb flash drive because it was formatted fat32. fat32 does not support Linux metadata so if you're going to move projects over on a flash drive or a usb external drive be sure to format to ext4. Another way to move projects over to the primaryfiles directory is with tar compression. This preserves metadata when the files are extracted so this might be easier and it works with optical drives. If your directory will fit on an optical drive this also gives you another backup on another media. If you have any suggestions on how to transfer projects while preserving the file metadata let me know. I know that there are network options available but I am hesitant to recommend them because if I can transfer files from a system to the primary sytem over the LAN than anyone can do the same. Or delete files. Or accidentally delete directories. I kind of want to keep tight control over access to the primary system. It kind of ruins the archival quality of The Indie Archive if anyone on the LAN can accidentally mess with it. So, I am open to dialogue on these issues. I'm kind of where I want it to be easy to add projects to The Indie Archive but not too easy, if you know what I mean. I feel like having to sit down at the primary system and enter a password should be the minimum amount of security required to access the primary system. The primary system also runs file integrity checks daily from a cron job. All of the propagation and file integrity scripts have to be run as root to preserve the metadata since only root can write a file that it doesn't own. The secondary system is the ssh server for The Indie Archive. The primary system logs onto the secondary system as root using ssh. Security is managed with public and private keys so entering a password is not required. After the keys are set up for both the primary and remote systems, password authentication is disabled for the ssh server so only those two systems can ssh into the secondary system. When the propagation script is run on the primary system rsnapshot is used to create a current version of the primaryfiles directory in the primarysnapshots directory. Then the primary system uses rsync over ssh to make a copy of the primaryfiles directory to the secondaryfiles directory. Then the primary system logs onto the secondary system as root and rsnapshot is used to create a current version of the secondaryfiles directory on the secondarysnapshots directory. Finally, if cloud storage is being used, the primary system uses gcloud rsync to make a copy of the primaryfiles directory to a google cloud storage bucket archive. I have this bucket set to 90 days soft delete. If you are using another type of cloud storage on Google, AWS, Mega, or other storage providers this command will have to be adjusted. The reason I chose the gcloud archive bucket is because of the storage cost per gigabyte. They have the cheapest cost per gigabyte that I found. This will keep the monthly bill low. Once a day the primary system runs the file integrity check from a cron job using rsync to compare the primaryfiles directory to the current version, alpha.0, in the primarysnapshots directory logging any discrepancies. It then does the same comparing primaryfiles to secondaryfiles and to the current version in the secondarysnapshots directory, logging discrepancies and notifying the maintainer of any discrepancies. Notification is done by email using curl and an SMTP provider. The remote system runs on it's own schedule, logging into the secondary system daily to copy data from secondaryfiles to remotefiles and then using rsnapshot to make a copy of remotefiles to the remotesnapshots directory. Since it's run on a daily schedule it uses rsnapshot with the standard daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly backups. The remote system also runs a daily file integrity check comparing remotefiles to the current version on remotesnapshots and comparing remotefiles to both data directories on the secondary system, again logging the results and notifying the maintainer of any discrepancies. If there is an outward facing static IP at the location with the primary and secondary systems then the remote system can use that static IP to ssh into the secondary system. If there is not a static IP then the remote system uses a DuckDNS subdomain to log onto the secondary system. Any system using the same router as the secondary system can run a cron job to update DuckDNS with the current IP address. Since a static IP is a monthly expense it's important that there's an alternative that does not require paying another bill. So the secondary system has the ssh server but it doesn't really do much. Both of the other systems connect to it and use it as the junction for data propagation and file integrity checks. So, as you can tell, there's a lot going on to make The Indie Archive work. Future podcasts will get down into the details and discuss some of the choices I had to make and why I made them. The funny thing about this project is that the actual code was the least amount of work. Figuring out exactly how rsync and rsnapshot work together was quite a bit of work. Configuration for both rsnapshot and ssh took a bit of head scratching. Then there were a few user id tricks I had to work through to make The Indie Archive usable. But, by far the most work was writing The Indie Archive installation document detailing each step of installing the software on three systems. It's been fun so far. If you have input I always appreciate the help. I get quite a bit of help on Mastodon. If you go to home.gamerplus.org you will find the script for this podcast with the Mastodon comment thread embedded in the post. This podcast is being read from a document that is a work in progress. Current versions of the What Is The Indie Archive document will be posted at codeberg when I'm ready to upload the project. Thanks for listening. https://www.theindiearchive.com/ Provide feedback on this episode.

Una de las sensaciones mas frustrantes que te puedes encontrar cuando comienzas con un nuevo sistema operativo. O en general cuando empiezas con cualquier nueva actividad es ni si quiera poder comenzar. Un ejemplo claro de a que me refiero es una de las preguntas del podcast de hoy. Donde uno siempre se encuentra en la misma situación con la imposibilidad de acceder al sistema operativo. Algo que queda perfectamente descrito en el título del podcast de hoy, el bucle infinito. En este nuevo episodio del podcast, la solución al problema del bucle infinito, la aporta un oyente, que se ha encontrado en una situación similar, y que cuenta como lo ha solucionado él en otras ocasiones. El bucle infinito Tengo que dar las gracias a Oscar por su colaboración. Por dar la solución, o por lo menos una solución, a la primera de las preguntas del podcast, de hoy. Precisamente a la pregunta que lleva el título del podcast de hoy, el bucle infinito. Sin tu colaboración, episodios del podcast, como este, no serían posible. Reinicio constante En el podcast anterior de preguntas y respuestas, Domingo hacía la siguiente consulta, Todo fue bien al principio y logré instalar las aplicaciones que necesito para programar.

Pero desde la página de descargas de Mega es posible descargar un instalador para Elementary versión Juno. En particular descarga un archivo que parece que es para Ubuntu 18.04, que entiendo será la versión compatible. El archivo que descarga tiene extensión .deb, con lo que para instalarlo en tu equipo, puedes, o bien hacer doble clic, a ver si esta forma lo instala. O la opción que te recomiendo es que abras un terminal y ejecutes la instrucción, sudo dpkg -i megasync-xUbuntu_18.04_amd64.deb Te digo de instalarlo desde el terminal, porque de esta forma, en caso de que falte alguna dependencia, la podrás instalar fácilmente.

Una de las sensaciones mas frustrantes que te puedes encontrar cuando comienzas con un nuevo sistema operativo. O en general cuando empiezas con cualquier nueva actividad es ni si quiera poder comenzar. Un ejemplo claro de a que me refiero es una de las preguntas del podcast de hoy. Donde uno siempre se encuentra en la misma situación con la imposibilidad de acceder al sistema operativo. Algo que queda perfectamente descrito en el título del podcast de hoy, el bucle infinito. En este nuevo episodio del podcast, la solución al problema del bucle infinito, la aporta un oyente, que se ha encontrado en una situación similar, y que cuenta como lo ha solucionado él en otras ocasiones. El bucle infinito Tengo que dar las gracias a Oscar por su colaboración. Por dar la solución, o por lo menos una solución, a la primera de las preguntas del podcast, de hoy. Precisamente a la pregunta que lleva el título del podcast de hoy, el bucle infinito. Sin tu colaboración, episodios del podcast, como este, no serían posible.

Uma das perguntas que mais me fazem é qual a distribuição que devem começar a usar. Conforme já mencionei em vários podcasts e em artigos escritos, o meu conselho é o Ubuntu, devido a fatores como: simplicidade, estabilidade e bom suporte. Mas existem outras alternativas oficiais, que são mantidas pela comunidade com objetivo de dar liberdade aos utilizadores para escolherem a que mais gostam, mantendo a mesma base sólida: Ubuntu. Por isso neste episódio, vou mostrar quais são elas e algumas caracteristicas distintas.

Probablemente Ubuntu y Kodi, entraron a formar parte de mi vida digital de forma simultánea, aproximadamente por el año 2.008. Sin embargo, Kodi, por aquel entonces XBMC, no arraigó con tanta fuerza como Ubuntu, hasta entrados 2.010, donde monté un media center o HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer). Es decir, lo que viene siendo un ordenador para reproducir contenido multimedia, fotografía, vídeo y música. Ese primer equipo, lo monté con componentes de otros ordenadores. Es mas, llegué a montar un segundo media center para un amigo. Inicialmente monté un XUbuntu con XMBC y posteriormente lo cambié por Ubuntu con MATE, por aquello de las compatibilidad con GTK. El explorador de archivos de MATE, Caja, permite que las extensiones de Nautilus funcionen en Caja, eso si, con algunas modificaciones.... aunque lamentablemente por aquel entonces no era así...

Qui es-tu Sandrine?Je suis technicienne en informatique depuis 1999, plus précisément en support technique. J’ai commencé par utiliser un Commodore 64 avant l’age de mes 10 ans. Dans les années 90, j’ai appris à utiliser MsDOS 3.1 à 6.x, Windows 3.1 sur les ordinateurs de mes amis(es). Malgré que je ne possédais pas d’ordinateurs autres que mon Commodor 64 à la maison, je réparais et configurais ceux des autres.J’ai étudié au Cégep en Génie électrique, plus précisément en Technologie des systèmes ordinés. Dans ces cours, j’appris l’électricité, l’électronique analogique et numérique, le C++, la programmation de microcontrôleur en assembleur, Novell 3.11, Windows NT, Slackware 3(Linux), Windows 98, etc.Mon implication dans le monde du libre se fait de plusieurs façons, mais elles sont toutes un point en commun, le partage de connaissance.Je m’intéresse beaucoup au milieu Maker(DIY), le côté open source du matériel(hardware). J’aime partager avec d’autres mes découvertes et apprendre des autres. Exemple : Le 17 mars dernier, je suis aller Trois-Rivières pour l’événement “World Create Day”. C’était un événement ou des gens se rencontrait pour montrer ce qu’ils font et apprendre des autres avec des Raspberry Pi(sous linux), Arduino et autres plate forme ouverte en électronique et informatique.Par la suite, j’aime bien partager mes découvertes par l’entremise du Podcast BlogueLinux que j’ai joint il y a environ 3 ans. J’avais aussi mon podcast Free Trans Radio, mais par manque de temps j’ai mis le projet sur la glace. C’était un podcast libertarien avec un penchant LGBT. Oui, je suis libertarienne et transgenre. Libertarienne et le monde du libre selon moi vont de paire et je suis tellement Geek et Hacker que j’ai même hacker ma propre personne. C’est quoi le BlogLinux ?Blogue Linux est un podcast qui a été démarré par Patrick Millette et Éric il y a un peu plus de 6 ans. J’ai joint l’équipe du podcast il y a 3 ans après une invitation de la part de Patrick sur Twitter pour une émission aprescast et j’ai fini par y rester. Par manque de temps et d’intérêt Éric a quitté il y a quelques mois, en laissant la porte ouverte pour des visites et peut-être ne sait on jamais un retour.Blogue Linux est un podcast sur la technologie en général, s’il y a un processeur, un micro contrôleur c’est certain qu’on va en parler. Mais nous avons un penchant très fort pour l’open source et Linux.Pourquoi l’univers du libre?Le monde du libre est passionnant parce qu’il nous offre une quantité presque l’inépuisable de possibilité… Et si on ne trouve pas ce qu l’on cherche, il nous est possible de joindre la communauté du libre et d’y apporter notre grain de sel à celui-ci.Vous n’aimez pas une interface graphique, changer le… vous aimez la musique, vous y trouverez des dizaines de lecteurs multimédias pour tous les goûts ainsi que des dizaines de solutions pour créer votre propre musique. Et bien plus… Tout cela est possible sur un ordinateur modeste, librement, et gratuit. Que vous soyez programmeurs, artistes, maker ou simples utilisateurs, vous y trouverez chaussure à vos pieds.Qu’est-ce qui fait qu’on devrait tous s’y intéresser ?La réponse est simple, plus de gens s’y intéressent plus le monde du libre sera vivant et passionnant… et plus nous aurons une diversité de solution informatique pour rendre notre quotidien plus facile, plus agréable et plus libre.Mais une des grandes forces que la communauté du libre a, s’cet le nombre de gens impliqués et l’ouverture du code de programmation des programmes qu’ils créent. Le monde du libre ne cache pas ce qu’ils font et lors de découverte de brèches de sécurité dans leurs programmes et services, des dizaines de personnes se penchent sur le problème et en un rien de temps une solution est trouvée et elle est partagée.Les recommandationsPour les débutantsPour les débutants, je vais dire comme Patrick de BL… Commencer par utiliser des applications libres sur Windows ou Mac. Jetez un coup d’oeil à Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, GIMP… Changer directement pour Linux peut être difficile et déconcertant. Trouver la bonne application pour remplacer celles que l’on utilise depuis des années peut être difficile et décourageant.Pour les intermédiaires et plus aventureuxVous pouvez télécharger des distributions Linux, les mettre sur des clefs USB ou CD pour les essayer sans l’installer. Et ensuite une fois satisfait l’installer.Qu’est-ce qu’une distribution Linux… C’est un groupe de gens qui offre une saveur de Linux… Un peu comme les crèmes glacées. Linux c’est l’ingrédient principal de la crème glacée et on trouve plusieurs groupes qui offrent différentes marques avec différentes saveurs.

This week, Allan is out of town, but since when has that ever stopped us from bringing you a new episode of BSDNow? We have news, This episode was brought to you by Headlines Unix's file durability problem (https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/FileSyncProblem) Another article by Chris Siebenmann from the University of Toronto This time, the issue was a lost comment on his Python based blog which uses files on disk rather than a database After an unexpected restart of the system, a recently posted comment no longer existed The post goes on to investigate what the ‘right way' to ensure file durability is The answer, as you might expect, is “it depends…” Normally, fsync() should work, but it seems with ext4 and some other file systems, you must also fsync() the directory where the file was created, or it might not be possible to find the file after a crash Do you need to fsync() the parent of that directory too? Then what is fdatasync() for? What about just calling sync()? “One issue is that unlike many other Unix API issues, it's impossible to test to see if you got it all correct and complete. If your steps are incomplete, you don't get any errors; your data is just silently sometimes at risk. Even with a test setup to create system crashes or abrupt power loss (which VMs make much easier), you need uncommon instrumentation to know things like if your OS actually issued disk flushes or just did normal buffered writes. And straightforward testing can't tell you if what you're doing will work all the time, because what is required varies by Unix, kernel version, and the specific filesystem involved.” Second post by author: How I'm trying to do durable disk writes (https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/python/HowISyncDataDWiki) Additional Discussion on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11511269) The discussion on HN also gets into AIO and other more complicated facilities, but even those seem to be vague about when your data is actually safe At least ZFS ensures you never get half of your new data, and half of your old data. *** Build a FreeBSD 10.3-release Openstack Image with bsd-cloudinit (https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/FreeBSD_10.3-release_Openstack_Image.html) Are you using FreeBSD and OpenStack or would you like to be? We next have a great tutorial which explains the ins-and-outs of doing exactly that. Remy van Elst brings us a great walkthrough on his site on how to get started, and hint it involves just a few ‘pip' commands. After getting the initial Python tools bootstrapped, next he shows us how to save our OpenStack settings in a sourceable shell command, which comes in handy before doing admin on a instance. Next the ‘glance' and ‘cinder' tools are used to upload the target OS ISO file and then create a volume for it to install onto. Next the VM is started and some specific steps are outlined on getting FreeBSD 10.3 installed into the instance. It includes some helpful hints as how to fix a mountroot error, if you installed to ada0, but need to mount via vtdb0 instead now. After the installation is finished, the prep for ‘cloudinit' is done, and the resulting image is compressed and made ready for deployment. We've kinda stepped through some of the more gory steps here, but if OpenStack is something you work with, this tutorial should be at the top of your “must read” list. *** Undeadly and HTTPS (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160411201504) Undeadly, the OpenBSD journal, is thinking of moving to HTTPS only In order to do this, they would like some help rewriting part of the site Currently, when you login to post comments, this is done over HTTPS, but to an stunnel instance running a custom script that gives you a cookie, and sends you back to the non-HTTPS site They would like to better integrate the authentication system, and otherwise improve the code for the site There is some pushback as well, questioning whether it makes sense to block users who are unable to use HTTPS for one reason or another I think it makes sense to have the site default to HTTPS, but, maybe HTTPS only doesn't make sense. There is nothing private on the site, other than the authentication system which is optional, not required to post a comment. There is also some discussion about the code for the site, including the fact that when the code was released, the salt for the password database was included This is not actually a security problem, but the discussion may be interesting to some viewers *** FreeBSD Journal March/April Edition (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/journal/browser-based-edition/) The next issue of the FreeBSD Journal is here, and this time it is about Teaching with Operating Systems In addition to the usual columns, including: svn update, the ports report, a conference report from FOSDEM, a meetup report from PortsCamp Taipei, A book review of "The Algorithm Design Manual", and the Events Calendar; there are a set of feature articles about teaching Teaching with FreeBSD through Tracing, Analysis, and Experimentation CHERI: Building a foundation for secure, trusted computing bases A brief history of Fast Filesystems There is also an interview with Gleb Smirnoff, a member of the Core team, release engineering, and the deputy security officer, as well as a senior software developer at Netflix Get the latest issue from your favourite mobile store, or the “Desktop Edition” directly in your browser from the FreeBSD Foundation's website *** Interview - Brooks Davis - brooks@FreeBSD.org (mailto:brooks@FreeBSD.org) / @brooksdavis (https://twitter.com/brooksdavis) CHERI and Capabilities *** TrueNAS Three-Peats!!! (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/truenas-three-peats/) News Roundup UbuntuBSD Is Looking To Become An Official Ubuntu Flavor (http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/ubuntubsd-is-looking-to-become-an-official-ubuntu-flavor-502746.shtml) You may recall a few weeks back that we were a bit surprised by the UbuntuBSD project and its longevity / goals. However the project seems to be pushing forward, with news on softpedia.com that they are now seeking to become an ‘official' Ubuntu Flavor. They've already released a forth beta, so it seems the project currently has some developers pushing it forward: "I would like to contribute all my work to Ubuntu Community and, if you think it is worthy, make ubuntuBSD an official Ubuntu project like Xubuntu or Edubuntu," said Jon Boden. "If you're interested, please let me know how would you like me to proceed." It's Just Bits (http://blog.appliedcompscilab.com/its_just_bits/index.html) We have next an interesting blog post talking about the idea that “It's just all bits!” The author then takes us down the idea of no matter how old or mysterious the code may be, in the end it is ending up as bits arranged a certain way. Then the article transitions and takes us through the idea that old bits, and bits that have grown too large should often be good candidates for replacement by “simpler” bits, using OpenBSD as an example. “The OpenBSD community exemplifies this in many ways by taking existing solutions and simplifying them. Processing man pages is as old as Unix, and even in the 21st century OpenBSD has taken the time to rewrite the existing solution to be simpler and safer. It's just bits that need to be turned into other bits. Similarly, OpenBSD has introduced doas as an alternative to sudo. While not replacing sudo entirely, doas makes the 99.99% case of what people use sudo for easier and safer. They are just bits that need to be authenticated. “ All in all, a good read, and it reinforces the point that nothing is really truly “finished”. As computing advances and new technologies / practices are made available, sometimes it makes a lot of sense to go back and re-write things in order to simplify the complexity that has snuck in over time. *** Disk IO limiting is coming to FreeBSD (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2016-April/084288.html) A much requested feature for both Jails and VM's on FreeBSD has just landed with experimental support in -HEAD, Disk IO limiting! The Commit message states as follows: “Add four new RCTL resources - readbps, readiops, writebps and writeiops, for limiting disk (actually filesystem) IO. Note that in some cases these limits are not quite precise. It's ok, as long as it's within some reasonable bounds. Testing - and review of the code, in particular the VFS and VM parts - is very welcome.” Well, what are you waiting for? This is a fantastic new feature which I'm sure will get incorporated into other tools for controlling jails and VM's down the road. If you give it a spin, be sure to report back bugs so they can get quashed in time for 11. *** BeastieBits PC-BSD 10.3 Is the Last in the Series, PC-BSD 11.0 Arrives Later This Year (http://news.softpedia.com/news/pc-bsd-10-3-is-the-last-in-the-series-pc-bsd-11-0-arrives-later-this-year-502570.shtml) ASLR now on by default in NetBSD amd64 (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2016/04/10/msg073939.html) Daniel Bilik's fix for hangs on Baytrail (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2016-April/228682.html) Don't forget about PGCon 2016 (http://www.pgcon.org/2016/) Get your paper in for EuroBSDCon 2016, deadline is May 8th (https://2016.eurobsdcon.org/call-for-papers/) Feedback/Questions John - Destroy all Dataset (http://pastebin.com/QdGWn0TW) Thomas - Misc Questions (http://pastebin.com/43YkwBjP) Ben - ZFS Copy (http://pastebin.com/gdi3pswe) Bryson - SysV IPC (http://pastebin.com/E9n938D1) Drin - IPSEC (http://pastebin.com/bgGTmbDG) ***
