Indie Royale has a few Linux games in their offer this time. Unfortunately it's only three out of the nine games in the bundle. Harvest: Massive Encounter looks the most interesting.

These days, it often feels like an operating system is only as cool as its “apps” — which are separate from applications, mind you. And so it’s not surprising to see Canonical pushing hard to deliver more apps to Ubuntu users, an effort highlighted most recently by the upcoming AppsSprint. Yet is Canonical, promoter of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, catering to real demand among users, or simply following hype? Here are some thoughts.

Subject: Ubuntu 12.04 Samba Standalone Server With tdbsam Backend
This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on Ubuntu 12.04 and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a standalone server, not as a domain controller. In the resulting setup, every user has his own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol and all users have a shared directory with read-/write access.

One year and a half ago, an important part of FFmpeg developers decided to change the way the project was managed. This led to some kind of takeover, mainly to get rid of the old maintainer dictatorship, but also to change development methods, redefine objectives, etc. Then, for various reasons I will quickly explain, these people made a new project called Libav.I will try first to summarize the most objectively as I can what was the situation, why it led to the current one, and basically how things are linked together. In a second time though, I will try to explain why, as a FFmpeg/Libav war child, I finally chose one side, and what it means daily.

Federal authorities were evidently waiting for SOPA to pass before making their move against him and his site. On the same night that public opinion forced SOPA to fail, however, the feds decided to act anyway. They took down his website and had Dotcom taken into custody by the New Zealand authorities. They seized most of his assets, without proving anything in court, and are now attempting to have him extradited to the United States.

I don't know about you, but during the years of my IT career, I've become more and more concerned with security. I'm sure everyone has to a certain degree, but for me, it has become a daily part of my job (not that I'm complaining; on the contrary, it's quite exciting). As such, there are a multitude of tools I've used to get said job done. Some I like, and some I don't. But, I keep coming back to three in particular: Nmap, Nessus and Metasploit.

Subject: Samsung Takes Another Slam With Galaxy Nexus Ban

The leap second that was inserted on Saturday night can cause permanent high CPU loads on Linux computers. Among other examples, the behaviour is documented in the blog of the Mozilla Foundation, where strange peak loads on one Mozilla server were observed from the time the leap second was added. The developers said that the problem is easily solved by resetting the date or rebooting the system.
