I don't mean to put them down for contributing to more Freedom and Choice, but as much market share as webOS lost, which for a while was well-supported by carriers, had a large Palm fanbase behind it, and sold reasonably well, Ubuntu Phone OS has a huge uphill battle ahead of them to develop a user base capable of sustaining a project like that into the future.

My phone is nearly as fast as my daily use laptop. I'm sure my next phone will be much faster. As far as I know, Ubuntu mobile is just a DE for an existing OS, so there isn't as much manpower necessary to keep it developed. Whether or not it has staying power is irrelevant. It's fun to have choice and try new things. If it sucks, I can always put Android back on my phone. This is why a lot of people choose Linux to begin with. Don't like Ubuntu? Try Suse, Fedora, Mint, Debian, etc. etc. At any rate, I'm not trying to start a flameware or anything, I just thought that you guys and gals would find it interesting.

We're working on laser cutting a couple new side panels and I'll have the Pipe and we've got the fabric so all we have to do is put it together :-). We should have most of the parts in for our RepRap printer and Dean has his new printer up and running and we're hoping he can bring it to show off. The GRLUG/GRMakers social is for ALL of us and you are all encouraged to bring any projects you are working on and want to show off or that you need help with, members have used The Warehouse to do a simple oil change or weld something. Here's a short list of gear that is available: Large heated warehouse that you can pull a car into Welders Torch Vehicle Ramps ForkLift Table Saw Wood Planer Compressor Air tools Hand tools Grand Rapids Startup Weekend is January 18th http://grandrapids.startupweekend.org/ and I'm encouraging EVERYONE to register and attend! Please bring your ideas and can all work together to bring them to life (We came up with a great idea last night that we will present so having more people there means we can get it voted IN).

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Probably best to go with a known brand name (Belkin, Linksys, D-Link, Trendnet, pretty long list of others). Some out there are really less expensive to purchase but may not be so easy/reliable. I've had pretty good results with Linksys, currently using a D-Link as primary router/AP, with other Linksys APs. I like the idea of separate router/modem modules, since failure of one doesn't require replacement of both. Might be less expensive initially to get combination, though. If it lasts long enough, the cost is amortized. Sometimes one component fails and another continues to work. I have an AP whose wireless no longer works, but the switch function is just fine. Also have one whose VOIP continues to work, but I've stopped using its switch/AP functions (I think that's the one with the bad AP function). Perhaps one benefit of Linksys is that there are a lot of older units out there and they can be picked up used/modified for very good price (or free, as I've gotten several). Also, wondering about getting DOCSYS 3 for my Charter connection. Have heard that getting it through Charter is mandatory, but don't think they would have anything to say if I just plugged one in. When I called for an outage recently, they said my modem was not DOCSYS 3, so I needed to replace it, though it had been working earlier that day. Before call ended, they got notified that there was an outage, so they dropped the subject. --Don Ellis On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 2:28 PM, Ben DeMott wrote: > I have a belkin that was really inexpensive - it's worked the longest and > best of any router I've owned. > > > On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 3:13 PM, Michael Mol wrote: >> >> On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 3:02 PM, Edward Crawford >> wrote: >> > I have a friend that has Charter internet service.

No, I don't think so. To some degree the simple number of packages has increased, so that brings with it a natural rise of the tide [as older packages also continue to get updates]. > After a long hiatus I installed CentOS and various Ubuntu based > versions a few months back thinking that many of the tweaks, > improvements, security measures, etc had been refined, to the point > that I hadn't expected much in the way of updates as in years past.

What exactly is going on? (a) I don't believe the volume of updates between LINUX-disto and Windows differ that much. (a.1.) Windows releases most updates on a schedule, only very critical updates break the schedule. So the stream of updates for a LINUX-distro seems more constant (a.2.) Windows updates are larger and target entire subsystems, whereas LINUX-distro package are much more granular. So again, the number of updates is higher. I'm not sure the volume of 'data' is higher. ".NET" at least receives a pretty steady stream of large-is updates. (b) An average LINUX distro install provides *WAY MORE* software than a typical Windows install [sigh.... just try actually *using* a Windows machine to grind some vendor or suppliers data once you've us LINUX for a few years.... Argh! One wonders how one accomplishes anything like real work on that platform]. (c) Updates as a security issue is *WAY* overblown IMNSHO. Many security updates address really corner cases that only apply to narrow uses of specific packages under certain circumstances. Microsoft would bundle such fixes together; LINUX distributions tend to let the updates flow out more granularly. My advice is to not-update-urgently. Updates, always, can break things, and updates take time. So skip it. I update my own stuff about once a month, on a lazy Friday where if something does break I have time to notice and address it. Don't update Sunday night! Watching LWN will typically tell you if there is a really urgent security issue that needs to be addressed rapidly; but these are very rare these days. And even those frequently have a 'temporary' work around. In general a good tiered design and use of tools like iptables and SELinux / AppArmour are going to do 9,999,999,999,999^999 times more for your security than 'staying-up-to-date'. A current but poorly configured system without lax user credentials IS FAR MORE *INSECURE* than an older system properly configured with good policies.

We should have most of the parts in for our RepRap printer and Dean has his new printer up and running and we're hoping he can bring it to show off. The GRLUG/GRMakers social is for ALL of us and you are all encouraged to bring any projects you are working on and want to show off or that you need help with, members have used The Warehouse to do a simple oil change or weld something. Here's a short list of gear that is available: Large heated warehouse that you can pull a car into Welders Torch Vehicle Ramps ForkLift Table Saw Wood Planer Compressor Air tools Hand tools Grand Rapids Startup Weekend is January 18th http://grandrapids.startupweekend.org/ and I'm encouraging EVERYONE to register and attend! Please bring your ideas and can all work together to bring them to life (We came up with a great idea last night that we will present so having more people there means we can get it voted IN).

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Casey -- I've never been to your facility myself, but it reads like a fabulous opportunity for anyone the least bit serious about Linux projects. I built a large number of small systems years ago, based on the Motorola 68000 family of parts, as well as Intel 8052AH-BASIC chips - floating point. But Linux was not available then, and Unix was too expensive for the hobbyist. The opportunities today are little short of breathtaking in comparision. My father passed on a few years ago, and if there is the need and-or demand I might be able to supply to some parts to the group. Things like resistors and transistors that one would use in interfaces. We can talk about that some day. I'd be happy to see the stuff get some use. Anyway, I haven't even heard of a setup as plush as what you offer since the days when I worked. For those gung-ho, it's really essentially a research kind of environment, with all of the expertise around, and facilities available. Hopefully many people will avail themselves of this splendid opportunity. -- Bob On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 2:35 PM, Casey DuBois wrote: > Last week's GRLUG/GRMakers social had over 25 people and was a TON of fun > THANK YOU to all that attended and if you haven't been to a meeting YOU > NEED TO COME!!! > > This week's meeting is Wednesday January 9th @ *The Warehouse, 112 > Baldwin St., Jenison and **Here's the agenda:* > > 6-8PM GRMobile Dev meeting ( > http://www.meetup.com/Grand-Rapids-Mobile-Development-Group/) > > 8PM till WHENEVER!!!!!

Please provide any comments or suggestions as this is a work in progress and there is still time to make changes. Any GRLUG or GRMakers members that help with the project will get to use the PhotoBooth V2 for their own events. The goal will be to take these PhotoBooths to all of the local events to gain awareness for the GRLUG/GRMakers group and they will also be available for rent to create a revenue stream so we can get a space. We will not need a touchscreen for our V3 PhotoBooth as I have pre-ordered a couple of these Leap Motion gesture control devices http://vrge.co/135ZXmL Casey DuBois 616-808-6942 casey at grlug.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Talk proposal submissions are due Sunday. I saw a lot of good presentations at user group meetings and at BarCampGR in the last year, and I'd love to see many of those talks refined and expanded for the upcoming GRDevDay conference. GRDevDay is one of the few local conferences that brings together people from disparate tech communities. Attending is a great way to expand your horizons while learning from smart, enthusiastic developers from languages and technologies you may not get to play with very often. Presenting there is a great way to expose people you don't often get to meet to your own awesome experiences and technologies. If you've given a talk in the last year, you should consider dusting off your slides, bringing them up to date, and presenting them to the wider West MI development community. Sunday is the deadline for submitting talk proposals, For more about GRDevDay, visit http://grdevday.org/ To submit your talk proposal, visit http://grdevday.org/Speakers.aspx -- Ben Rousch brousch at gmail.com http://clusterbleep.net/ From casey at grlug.org Mon Jan 14 11:39:58 2013 From: casey at grlug.org (Casey DuBois) Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 11:39:58 -0500 Subject: [GRLUG] Grand Rapids Startup Weekend Registration Message-ID: I need everyone to *REGISTER* for Startup weekend so we can get your name badges printed (and so we don't run out of food and drinks).

Startup Weekend starts this Friday so tonight we will be making the Name Tags for the event. We were able to get the Raspberry Pi to run the photobooth but since it is extremely slow tonight's plan will be to get one lenovo running a dual display photobooth and finish up the framing and sew the curtains for this weekend's event. I have not had a chance to get all of the 3D printer parts ordered so it looks like we won't be making any more progress on this project till next week when I should have the last of the items to finish the machine. We received a large donation of chips for tonights event but I did not get any food so please eat before you come.

We are able to get out of the network from either subnet. What we want to do is be able to connect between a system on one subnet and a system on the other subnet. Does anyone have examples of doing this using iptables? systemA in subnet0: 10.0.1.200 systemB in subnet1: 10.0.3.200 I have tried making changes in the iptables configuration, but I don't have enough experience in iptables to know where to use -i, -o, -d, and -s (I think those are the values to be adjusted here). Also, I'm making assumptions about what table and chain the rules need to be added to, and when to append (-A) and when to insert (-I). Except for my first adjustment to something someone else had done wrong, my shooting in the dark has had no results.

If you are using both of these on the same physical/logical network segment, that is going to be very inefficient - it would make more sense to adjust the netmask so that you had one larger "subnet" and all systems on the inside would be able to directly address each other. For the specific example you give below, if you are using 255.255.255.0 as a netmask, if you adjust the netmask on ALL devices to 255.255.248.0 that will give you one subnet with addresses ranging from 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.3.254 all directly addressable to each other.

Eh, sort of. It would certainly route between them by default - if IP forwarding is enabled. NAT on the other hand can be configured 4^number-of-networks kind of ways. NAT makes everything more complicated. First question would be: do you need to NAT between the two internal networks? > If you are using both of these on the same physical/logical network > segment, that is going to be very inefficient - it would make more > sense to adjust the netmask so that you had one larger "subnet" and > all systems on the inside would be able to directly address each > other.

My advice is to *STOP* immediately using iptables directly. The syntax is very confusing, on top of what can already be confusing by itself. Is that ... -a ... or -A ... oh, I can't remember. Immediately install FWBuilder and let it generate the rules for you. You can always look at what it generates in order to learn iptables better. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA From casey at grlug.org Thu Jan 17 16:54:14 2013 From: casey at grlug.org (Casey DuBois) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:54:14 -0500 Subject: [GRLUG] Last night's meeting Message-ID: Hello everyone, Thanks again to everyone that helped at last night's GRLUG/GRMakers social. 30 people was much more comfortable than the 50 people we had last week....

There is a little software tweaking we will do tonight to get BOTH systems running from a single PC. I was able to get Bret from Standard Computer to lend me a much smaller printer (so I don't need to drag the MONSTER Printer) to use for this weekend's event so I'm giving him/them a shout out. The goal will be to rent this photobooth out and take the $$ to fund our meetings and other projects so please tell ALL of your friends that it is available for rent.

THANK YOU to everyone that helped @ Startup Weekend GR, based on our conversations this weekend there will be several NEW people stopping by this week's social and I'm going to need everyone to talk and engage these new people and get them to add themselves to the google group and become a part of our maker movement. Here's the details: GRLUG/GRMakers Social, Wednesday January 23rd, 8PM till whenever @ The Warehouse, 112 Baldwin St. What are we doing this week: Open Photo Booth V2 is up and running but can use a little fine tuning so we will be working on this (including 2nd set of curtains for the other side). Raspberry Pi RepRap 3D printer Linux Router project Add 12TB To Storage Network Hoping to have someone with a Leap Motion developer kit that we can play with Hoping to have some people with quad copters With the parking we had a couple weeks back I've talked with my neighbor Ottawa Kent insurance and they are happy to let us use their parking lot for our evening meetings so if you are a regular and have been here before I'd like to ask you to park @ Ottawa Kent so there will be plenty of parking for the new people that won't see this email. I'm thinking Wednesday will be HUGE and encourage everyone to attend and engage our potential members!

Or go with PFSense, just put on a server and have a couple of NICs. I'm pretty sure Astaro does it as well, haven't had much experience with them though.

The simple answer is no, .. except in the case of outbound access only. In that case, you can switch from one to the other, or setup a router with both connections and setup some firewall rules to decide which connection to use by IP. For *incoming* connections (i.e. to a public server), you would have to advertise your own BGP, which is both expensive and complex. If you have a T1 now, the better solution would be to get a quote on bonded T1s (two, or even three) from your provider. You would have an SLA, and most enterprise routers will support bonded T1s (even the lowly Cisco 1725, which we have).

It's been reliable and is pretty straight forward. A handful of people, voip phones and a T1. At our office Untangle has been our proxy for nearly four years. It does require a little more horsepower but has been very reliable as well. In fact, recently(~6 mo) we put it in router mode. http://imgur.com/n84PFip (We also moved from 1 subnet to many VLANs, Procurve handles internal routes; we simplified our setup by removing an 1841 that only routed/NAT'd.) We've only ever used Untangle's free features. Boss likes the report's pie charts. Its our first line of filtering, firewalling and monitoring -now with routing as well. Office handles about 50 people, phones. 10 meg fiber. OpenVPN can not* run in bridged mode on either product. We successfully run VPNs on both of the aforementioned products daily. I don't have any experience with m0n0wall, IIRC I got the same feeling as Josh. *Well, anything is possible if you're dedicated.

I mostly use the Washington, DC, test point. Last weekend my service, Comcast, was weird. I was getting very low speed results, relative to nominal. It's back to "normal" now, but the episode did last much of the weekend. I was getting a few megabits down, which is a small fraction of what I was paying for. Don't even thing of using different test points for your tests, because those vary widely too. For what it's wroth, Comcast has test locations in at least Chicago, Detroit, and DC. You'd expect those would be kept running well, if only for advertising purposes. But over the weekend the results were crummy, so something was indeed going on in my experience. -- Bob On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 5:36 PM, L. V.

We're helping put out the attached press release today. It would be appreciated if you could forward or republish it in any relevant channels. Thanks for your support. Yours Sincerely, Andrew Tomazos. ========================= CUT HERE ========================= Subject: C++ Grandmaster Certification (www.cppgm.org) Keywords: c++, c++11, linux, x86-64, compilers, mooc, course 1st Feb 2013 - San Francisco, CA - It was announced today by the newly formed CPPGM Foundation (www.cppgm.org) that the C++ Grandmaster Certification is now open for enrollment. The C++ Grandmaster Certification is a massively open free online course (MOOC) for expert C++ programmers. It provides the most rigorous C++-specific qualification possible. Participants in the course will demonstrate their comprehensive knowledge of C++ by writing their own fully functional ISO C++11 standard compliant C++ compiler, C++ standard library and toolchain - including a preprocessor, assembler, and linker - targeting the Linux operating system and x86-64 architecture. The toolchain will be written entirely in standard C++. No third-party tools or libraries will be used. As a grand finale the participant will build their toolchain with itself (a self-hosting build) and pass the conformance test with it. Enrollments are open now and close 15th Feb, 2013. The course will commence shortly after in the spring. For more details and to enroll visit the course web site at: http://www.cppgm.org For press information contact support at cppgm.org ABOUT CPPGM: The CPPGM Foundation was formed by a software company that recognized the value to programmer productivity that a good knowledge of language mechanics had to new developers to their team. The C++ Grandmaster Certification began development as an internal training program, and the foundation was founded to offer it publicly. ========================= CUT HERE ========================= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
