Subject: Mac OSX IPSEC VPN via command line using builtin Racoon client
The Mac OSX IPSEC VPN client setup via "System preferences" only supports IPSEC/XAUTH and IPSEC/L2TP both of which give you a different IP address for your tunnel interface. System preferences on the backend uses Racoon so it is possible via the command line to setup a pure IPSEC connection.

This distribution we chose to show you today sure is an interesting combination. According to their Distrowatch page, it's a combination of features from Mandriva, on which is based, Fedora and Ubuntu, and can be used at school, work or home. Are these rather bold statements true? Stay tuned to find out.

What a crazy year it's been for our little Vivaldi tablet project. Lots of ups with Plasma Active developing by leaps and bounds, with version 3 coming out this month and many of our efforts starting to improve our other form factors such as Desktop, and so much learning with regards to the state of the hardware world in Asia. With our chosen hardware, we dealt with the completely typical (for the industry segment) GPL violating company which we negotiated with to change that ... only to have them simultaneously renig at the last minute and, while introducing a new revision of the board not only break our prior work but noticeably decrease in build quality. This was a massive, massive set back for us.

Subject: Red Hat plans to do for OpenStack what it did for Linux
Red Hat transformed Linux from being a hobby operating system to being an enterprise operating system and now it has the same plan for the OpenStack cloud.

Subject: This week at LWN: LinuxCon: Open hardware for open hardware
Open hardware platforms like the Arduino have turned device development into a hobbyist enterprise in recent years, but the $20 price tag of a microcontroller board seems a lot less tantalizing when one adds in the costs of testing and debugging it. At LinuxCon 2012 in San Diego, David Anders addressed this issue and offered some guidance on finding and selecting tools for open hardware development, the majority of which are open hardware themselves.

Rod Nash is a systems engineer with SUSE in Australia. But he would easily do as good a job as a media manager, given the effortless ease with which he introduces journalists to technical people.

Subject: Parse the options of your bash script like a pro
Today i was writing a bash script that should manage some input arguments, and so i studied getopt, this is a convenient and elegant way to manage input parameters in a bash script. With it you can define switch (present or not) or parameters with an option, thus making your simple bash script much more professional. Let’s see how to use this command and its options.

Subject: Experimental animation and video techniques in Linux.
Animation and video editing in Linux can be treacherous territory. Anyone who has tried working in these media probably has experienced the frustration of rendering a huge file for an hour only to see the program crash before the export is finished. A bevy of tools and applications for manipulating video exist for Linux, and some are more mature than others.

In this alpha release, Firewalld is installed and running, but firewall-applet is not installed. This, for example, is the interface for firewall-config. It does not work, so I could not mess with it. But you can tell that the final product will be easy to manage.

Subject: Rather Than Pressuring The ITC Over Key Patent Cases, Congress Should Fix A Broken Patent System
For years we've talked about how many patent holders these days have two cracks at anyone they accuse of infringing: through the courts and then separately through the ITC, which can issue an injunction (but not monetary awards) that block a product made elsewhere from entering the US. The ITC doesn't have to follow the same rules as the courts. So, for example, it doesn't need to abide by specific Supreme Court precedent, which can lead to some wacky outcomes. But, really, it's just one more example of a broken patent system.

Subject: USPTO's Reality Distortion Field: Web Filter Blocks Critics Like EFF, Welcomes Maximalist Lobbyists
Well this is bizarre. Jamie Love from KEI was over at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a meeting about "global negotiations on intellectual property and access to medicine." The meeting itself was held in a room that it uses for the USPTO's Global Intellectual Property Academy (GIPA), and there is free WiFi for people to use. Love tried to log onto his own website... and found that it was being blocked as a "political/activist group."

Subject: Managing Multiple MySQL Servers From One phpMyAdmin Installation (Using SSL Encryption)
This tutorial explains how you can manage multiple MySQL servers from one phpMyAdmin installation. For security reasons, communication between phpMyAdmin and any remote MySQL server is using SSL encryption (this is not necessary for a local MySQL server since communication between phpMyAdmin and MySQL is not leaving the server). phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the World Wide Web. phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations with MySQL.
