<div>
A quote that captures some of the essence:</div>
<div>
"The biggest problem was the swattings. People would call 911 with false reports of hostage situations or bomb threats, in order to get a swat team sent to Denino’s apartment. Swatting has its origins in the subculture of Internet trolls, where it is a favorite tactic for harassing and bullying people. Swatting has exploded in popularity in recent years, owing in part to the rise of live streaming. Previously, the hoaxer would have to imagine his target’s distress when a team of heavily armed police officers broke down his door. But, if the target is broadcasting himself live, the hoaxer can see his handiwork play out in real time. On YouTube, you can watch compilations of famous streamers being swatted. "</div>

The Bullshit-Job Boom<br />

Pretty interesting, not quite sure it was worthy of a post, but I found interesting. I don't buy into the full premise, but do absolutely agree that we have a problem with being so focused on job creation, with almost no care about <i>what </i> the jobs are.<br />
<br />
Classic example is the gas stations here in Oregon, where the law requires them to be full service (you can't pump your own gas, by law). Because we <i>need</i> jobs! And why don't we force companies to hire people that walk in circles, since that would also be a boon for job creation! We need to think about what increases the overall well-being of society, and focus on job-creation (or elimination in some cases) that improves our society...</div>

<br />
A couple years old now, but solid article. I liked the comparisons with England, and think there are lessons there.<br />
<br />
I'll just quote a couple good paragraphs:<br />
"The rhetoric of “We are the 99 percent” has in fact been dangerously self-serving, allowing people with healthy six-figure incomes to convince themselves that they are somehow in the same economic boat as ordinary Americans, and that it is just the so-called super rich who are to blame for inequality."<br />
<br />
And the idea of legacy:<br />
"The United States is the only nation in the world, for example, where it is easier to get into college if one of your parents happened to go there. Oxford and Cambridge ditched legacy preferences in the middle of the last century. The existence of such an unfair hereditary practice in 21st-century America is startling in itself. But I have been more shocked by the way that even supposedly liberal members of the upper middle class seem to have no qualms about benefiting from it."<br />
<br />
I don't recall it discussing how easy it is for rich folks to look at the super-rich and feel like they are the real problem, and how, as I've read in another article, even the rich feel their status is threatened due to growing inequality, but still plenty of food for thought.</div>

<br />
Interesting article that evaluates a smorgasbord of ideas related to the changes occurring in sexual behavior in youth. I enjoyed the "shot-gun" approach to evaluate the many variables that have changed for youth today, and what factors may be playing the biggest role in changing behavior (and the risks these changes may have for the younger generations). I'm always thinking about how best to raise Arthur when reading these, and if I were to summarize in a sentence: allow for plenty of free and unstructured play. Although after typing that, I can think of a multitude of other things to evaluate, but I think free play is possibly the most important.</div>

A great "book review" (but so much more) of Adam Tooze's "Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World", with an overview and summary of the standard narrative of the financial crises, versus the consequences (especially the political) of the actions taken to stabilize the economy in 2008 and 2009.<br />

If I had had the time, I'm sure the Tooze's "tomb" (700-pages) would be an interesting read.</div>

The story of Shawn Carpenter, a Sandia employee, "hacking back" is remarkable - finding F-22 Raptor and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter blueprints, and eventually linking the hackers using a gateway in Guangdong, China. All as a "citizen" hacker.<br />
<br />
The article provides a measured view of the pros and cons of fighting back. As usual, it's a complex situation but hopefully some improvements are on the way.</div>

Well, I was thinking about where to post great or interesting articles that I read (mostly from the New Yorker, but sometimes elsewhere).

I chose not to upgrade my 9.04 and just do a new install, since it's quick to setup programs on Ubuntu and rsync to another computer works to backup my home directory so easily... For reference, I'm using a Dell 1420n laptop. Here's my experience.<br /><br /><i>Installation</i><br />Using Kubuntu Karmic Desktop 64bit version CD. Install paused at 80% while "configuring apt" for 5 minutes - I thought for a minute it had halted, but just needed to wait longer... But I consider this a bug, since an installer progress bar shouldn't stop for so long when it had been moving more rapidly before hitting this point...<br /><br />Then near the very end, a "downloading language packs" message began....it took ~25 minutes to download the packs (and probably will take more if the servers are being hammered later.) I'm not certain why it even needed more language packs (I chose no special language, just English.) I heard this didn't happen in the betas, hopefully it won't happen during installs of the final release... Additionally, after installing there were already a lot of package updates, hopefully the final release won't have so many package updates immediately after installing (some are expected with the fast pace of improvements on Ubuntu, but this early I had 105 updates, which seems excessive...)<br /><br /><i>After installation - "necessary" (IMO) configuration changes</i><br />The bottom panel by default in KDE 4 is tiny. I had to make it bigger.<br /><br />Enable extra repositories... my sources.list is here<br /><a href="http://helpthehappy.com/09/sources.list" target="_blank">http://helpthehappy.com/09/sources.list</a><br />and the GPG key commands are right below each source. Obviously this is just my list, but Medibuntu is probably the most important to add...<br /><br />Enable restricted-driver (nvidia 185) - I just used the restricted-driver icon on the system tray.<br /><br />Install kubuntu-restricted-extras, firefox, chromium-browser (w/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree).<br />Remove icedtea - the freer java that never works well for me and I find conflicts with Sun's java.<br /><br />Configure firefox (xmarks, adblock) -> Xmarks was having trouble connection, adblock took forever to download. are these strange connection problems? internet is fast on other machines and web browsing is fine...unknown cause, eventually worked.<br /><br />Install pulseaudio - do others "believe" in pulseaudio on KDE? I've found I like it a lot and it seems to fix various sound problems, but I'm not sure why it isn't installed by default.<br />Then configure pulseaudio in system settings->multimedia to make it default for all sounds.<br />But upon testing and it gives only popping noises... believe I needed to add myself to pulse and pulse-access groups (system settings->advances->user management->choose account and modify->priviledges and accounts tab->under groups add check by pulse and pulse-access), restart.<br />Tested sound again and got nothing, but checked sound volume on kmix (system tray) and PCM was set to 0 (Why?! i didn't do it). Raised volume and worked, all is well now. While in kmix, enable additional channels (just Master, PCM, headphone, need microphone).<br /><br />Configure dolphin to default to detailed view with no preview (under general icon, use common view properties) and show filter bar (under startup icon). I just don't like the default dolphin view with previews and even though it is suppose to remember for each folder what you change it to, you have to change each folders view manually before it remembers, and it doesn't always work right on network shares.<br /><br />Add desktop folder to "places" (right click Desktop and choose add to places in dolphin).<br /><br />Add folder view of home directory to desktop.<br /><br /><i>Remaining questions: </i><br />What the world is the "indicator display" message thing on the bottom right now? All it says is "no applications running" and no way to configure...<br /><br /><i>bugs that still exist: </i><br />Full screen in flash, change volume with keyboard stroke and drops out of full-screen...<br /><br />These stupid popup preview windows on folders that are super annoying, still no way to disable...many bugs filed on this already, they're working on it...<br /><br />Above moving my Amarok2.1 collection database over, the collections works (after syncing music) but Amarok lost my statistics on my collection. If this also happens to people updating rather than moving a collection like I did, this could be a BIG deal for some. I've seen reports that make it sound like it does happen to upgraders, so be sure to backup your collection database before upgrading if you have a lot of ratings for songs that you care to keep. I have my songs/collectionDB backed up on a different computer, but unsure how to move the statistics at this time...<br /><br /><i>Bug fixes and nice improvements</i><br />Sound level is better for me (sound used to be quiet at 50% volume, and loud at 65%, now I actually can use full range and get better sensitivity).<br /><br />Boot time for me is 36seconds. I think this is probably 10s faster than jaunty was, although i didn't record it w/jaunty...<br /><br />Too many other bug fixes to mention and some I've already forgotten about since they're fixed!<br /><br /><br /><i>OVERALL THOUGHTS</i><br />Karmic has a whole bunch of improvements. KDE users are still feeling the last of the growing pains in the switch to KDE 4, but they're almost gone and this was generally a smoother and much more pleasant experience than 9.04 or prior releases. Flash on 64 bit works fine, Virtualbox works fine, all the apps I need work great on 64 bit now (at this point, I recommend the switch to 64 bit because there really isn't any reason not too, even if you don't have 4gb or more of memory, since we should move to the new standard and encourage developers to optimize the speed for 64 bit...which often has significant speed improvements.)</div>jetpeachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06077971714887313338noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839104.post-36257925693176912582009-10-20T18:11:00.000-07:002009-10-20T18:14:22.490-07:00<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Dell Mini 12 updating to Karmi Koala</span><br />For those thinking about updated their Dell Mini 12's to Karmic, there is a great post on the forums with simple instructions to get everything working...<br />http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1294173jetpeachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06077971714887313338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839104.post-59084928468496372712009-01-02T23:57:00.000-08:002009-01-04T01:51:40.965-08:00<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dell Mini 12 with Ubuntu pre-installed: optimizations and information for owners</span></span><br /><br />This will be an ongoing updated post about our new Dell Mini 12 we just received Dec 29th. We purchased several days after Dell made the ubuntu versions available and the netbook/laptop is serious everything we hoped it would be. However, there are tweaks and optimizations and a number of questions we have when using it, and we will focus on those here. Please please post comments if you have your own advice and tweaks you like on your Dell Mini 12 (obviously, www.ubuntuforums.org is a wonderful research for all ubuntu related tweaks, but this will focus on the Mini 12). i assume some basic knowlege of ubuntu, but something isn't clear please post...<br /><br />1st order- get rid of the Yahoo toolbar, unless you like it<br />in your favorite package-manager, remove yahoo-toolbar-extension<br /><br />2nd order-make it mp3 capable, DVD playback, and get all those necessary codecs not allowed in the US because of our heavily lobbied congresspeople...<br />install ubuntu-restricted-extras in your favorite package manager<br />for me, using the default repositories, there was a hitch in aptitude because of package conflicts. i had to remove tzdata-java i think (it didn't seem necessary anyhow) but i can't remember for sure now. but this brings me to the next question...<br /><br />which repositories? the default repos all start with<br />http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu<br />and are for hardy with most specific to this computer. what about a generic install of ubuntu? well, based on what <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1001975&highlight=mini+12">others on the ubuntuforums say</a> about setting up the SCH Poulsbo chipset with Intrepid, it sounds like there is a regression in Intrepid that could complicate the upgrade, then also the wifi and more with the chipset in <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014534&highlight=mini+12&page=3">this enormous thread</a>. They got Intrepid working on their Mini 12s (they were originally Vista, since they got them before the ubuntu versions were available) but it sounds like they were pulling teeth the whole way... I'll stick with the working configuration Dell gave me, even if it might not be perfect... The only repo I'll add is medibuntu of course. well well, the medibuntu repo doesn't work because the packages must be compiled for the LPIA architecture (low-power intel architecture, which is basically an optimised i386 for the atom cpus). so it appears i'll stick with the default repos for now...<br /><br />install the package ssh (installs the ssh-server-one of the great things about linux if you ever want to connect between machines...of course, make sure your password isn't 12345)<br /><br />ssh to another computer is just hanging. whole terminal just sits. strange. oh, after installing libpam-ssh and ssh-krb5 it seems to be goen (these were recommended packages from ssh-client, probably necessary for proper talking? if you have this problem try ssh -v -v -v [connection] for extremely verbose output to see what's happening )<br /><br />bios update - there is a new version out (A02 right now, my mini 12 has a01) but currently the update is only for windows. some people have discussed how to try it on ubuntu, but right now it seems there isn't an easy way.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">To be continued...</span>jetpeachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06077971714887313338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839104.post-85722279258695138012008-12-12T14:48:00.000-08:002009-02-23T10:03:25.353-08:00<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Quick review of Amarok 2</span></span>, which I tested today on my non-primary machine (since it was just released and I wasn't sure about if it was ready for primetime, for me at least).<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Upgrade process</span>: Actually installation was cake, took literally less than 3 minutes on the fast connection here. Just added the repository and instructions here: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.0<br />I at first didn't realize I needed to install the package "amarok-kde4", it doesn't upgrade your old amarok until you install that package...<br />Along the lines of the upgrade process though, is important your old collection database. With a bit of digging, under "configure amarok"->"collection"->"import collection" a dialog for importing from amarok 1.4 or itunes is presented. i tried from 1.4 and chose SQLite, the standalone database I had been using. It failed to connect to the database, however. This could be a showstopper for some people, and is for me on my primary machine since I have ratings for 100s of songs in the database and definitely want to keep these. There is probably a workaround or reason for the failure, but I haven't investigated further yet... <span style="font-style: italic;">Upgrade rating: B-, since the old database is lost and importing did not work</span>.<br /><br />New interface/usability: I don't mind the new layout, it could take a bit of getting used to but so far its fine. The song display pop-up when a new track is played looks rough and unpolished (black and white with ugly trim). The "fetch album cover" option worked perfectly for me for all the tracks I've tried, so then I enabled "automatically download cover art" in the options. All the albums started getting covers right away, and it is very nice to have album covers now....<br /><br />.... several weeks have passed now, I haven't switched my other computers over yet and haven't used A2 that much on my laptop, so can't really properly finish my review. I'll just post this and move on. When the next version comes out I'll try to give a better review<br /><br />EDIT: ok, last time i used A2 it crashed when searching the song list. additionally, it wasn't properly recognizing my collection, getting songs mixed up in it's database. so i switched but to the tried and trusty Amaraok 1.4, which i'll still with probably until Ubuntu 9.04 comes out, which will default to Amarok 2. hopefully then it will a bit more polished, as my conclusion at this time is it's kinda like KDE 4.0 was-cool with good potential, but not quite ready for "primetime".jetpeachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06077971714887313338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839104.post-79984452788245247192007-05-18T11:33:00.000-07:002007-05-18T11:34:32.708-07:00Join the <a href="http://www.zoji.com/obama">Obama group</a> on Zoji!<br />That's all.jetpeachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06077971714887313338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839104.post-85868485684738758672007-02-16T17:49:00.000-08:002007-02-16T17:54:10.354-08:00Seattle-based startup <a href="http://www.zoji.com/">Zoji.com</a> is making great progress.

Google's success depends on winning the desktop OS market away Microsoft. Canonical has 68 paid developers and created an excellent Linux distribution - what would happen if they had over 1000?
