We generally just bullshit around and interact with our listeners to celebrate the end of the season.

Notes

• I am drinking Knob Creek and mention Rogue’s Dead Guy, Jthan mentions Breckenridge Bourbon and is drinking Sam Adams Octoberfest.
  • PA alcohol laws are kind of strange.
• Jthan has ‘‘still’‘ not put anything up on jonathandemasi.com. Slacker.
• I mention the Philly LUG.
• We mention cal, cowsay, sl, and fortune.
• I used the wrong example. ;) GIF is “Graphics Interchange Format”, and you don’t pronounce “graphics” as “jiraphics”. Plus, there’s already a Jif.
• I mention Square-r00t.net, which I link to on our bio page
• On how to troll effectively, this may prove useful.
• Simplyodd linked to the DevOps Reactions tumblr in IRC.
• Jim mentions Fedora switching to XFS for certain mounts and SUSE using Btrfs as the default.
  • I mention cross-distro compatibility in BDisk.
• The straight-6 engine was indeed changed, but in 2001, not 2002. Compare: this to this. Former uses AMC 242, latter uses the Power Tech V6. For Grand Chrokees, 1999-2004 uses the Power Tech I6. The AMC 242 is rock-solid, the Power Tech engines are absolutely bullshit. Jthan’s wrong again. I was, however, wrong- the 1998 Grand Cherokee does not have the same engine as the 2000 Cherokee Sport.
• We mention apacman. cower, yaourt, and packer.
  • The Arch wiki lists a bunch of AUR helpers.
• We mention BunsenLabs, the continuation of CrunchBang Linux.
• The project Evo/Lution has been moved to CLI/Lution, but the project has moved to Architect Linux (code is here).
• I didn’t mention it on the show before (at least, it’s not in the shownotes), but check out LetsEncrypt.org.
• You can look up application compatibility in the Wine App DB.
• LaTeX (pronounced “LAY-tek”) is a text formatting language.
• The Linux patches centered around increased performance is the ck1 patchset.
• The ABS is indeed the “Arch Build System”.
• The ABS support for apacman is here, but no ETA is available.
• Canonical offers additional commercial support.
• We mention SELinux (which is used by Android) and grsecurity (who also maintain PaX).
  • Someone in one of our chats mention StopDisablingSELinux.com.
• There are a LOT of CVEs for cPanel.

Errata

• We have recorded the livestream. It is a 602M XZ-compressed Ogg Vorbis video file (uncompressed it’s 1.9G). GNU/Linux users can use XZ Utils (most likely already installed by your distro) to decompress. Mac OS X users can use The Unarchiver (available via the OS X app store (Free). Windows users can use 7zip (Free). You can play the video in VLC (multi-platform).
  • The checksum file for GNU is here (SIG). For BSD, it’s here (SIG). GPG” signature here.
  • The poor webcam sync (and quality) is because I forgot to record video locally while streaming, so I ripped the stream. This should be changed for future livestream releases.
  • The first 23 minutes of the video are setup and you only hear me in the video. The actual podcast session starts at 30m12s.
  • I mention the IPA, which is actually the International Phonetic Alphabet.
• I said petition.org, I meant Change.org.
• I remembered the thing we talked about in the scrapped recording! Debian is moving away from the LSB.
