Re: [linux] Problems hearing speakers during tonight's jitsi meeting
I usually have to mess around with the settings, and plugin and unplug a headset, to get it to work. Before tonight that dance usually worked - camera, mic and speakers. Tonight - nope. My friend who was also on the call, phoned me and put his phone on speakerphone so I could listen that way. Thanks Wil! So ingenious. I suppose I could have spoken into the phone and you could have heard me but I was afraid of the potential for feedback. The text chat worked ok for that. My system: Chromium on Debian - alsa for sound. Someone suggested another computer - that was my best computer for video chatting. My other computer doesn't have a camera at all, nor mic. I have separate camera and mic - haven't used them in a while, not entirely sure where they are just now. Thanks to the powers that be (the board) for the AGM and the talks. bjb On Thu, Apr 01, 2021 at 10:12:56PM -0400, Brett Delmage wrote: > I think there was some chat comments that others were having problems > hearing speakers in tonight's Jitsi AGM meeting? > > The only sounds I heard during the AGM part was the sound effects for people > checking in and departing.

Re: [linux] anyone using a privacy-protecting cell phone
When I had a real android smartphone, I put LineageOS (previously CyanogenMod) on it. So it was less offensive than plain android. But unless you were willing to muck about with apk packaging, you had to use the Google Play store. It was a bit of a pain to find and install apk packages. Not all phones can run it. I researched and bought phones that could run it. I also put ClockWorkMod as the recovery image.

This request eventually reminded me about the Purism phone: https://puri.sm/ which purports to be a ground-up phone OS designed for privacy. I have not bought it but maybe I should. I was under the impression that the person who started the company was in Toronto but they are based in the States now. But that is a vague memory and may be entirely false. They don't have social media icons. Their web page (front page) is served from one server (impressive!). They have a warrant canary page and two people gpg-sign a message for that page on a monthly basis. Looks legit. I'm guessing they are expensive as they are not subsidized by Big Tech. Haven't seen prices yet. bjb To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscr...@linux-ottawa.org To get help send a blank message to linux+h...@linux-ottawa.org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
Re: [linux] anyone using a privacy-protecting cell phone
While I haven't looked at all the small low-end phones out there so I can't say if this is true of all of them - my flip-phone is low-powered but still a "smartphone". It is the Alcatel Myflip mumble405thing and runs KaiOS rather than Android or iOS. It has a browser and if you wait long enough it loads most pages (even ones with javascript). Also some other apps like contacts, notes, music/podcast player, calculator, SMS/messaging, radio, etc. So - just because it's a flipphone doesn't mean it's not capable of smartphone stuff. On the plus side - it seems to only run one app at a time : -) so maybe it will slow down the big corporation trackers. Heh. Not sure about the "not tracking you" but for "physically modular" and "repairable by end user" you can look for the fairphone. Last I heard they only sold in Europe though. Eww, I see they now have one of those odious "dim-the-page-till-the-user-agrees-to- accept-the-cookie-policy" pages. Given corporations use other tech to track people now - I wish those cookie warnings would go away. bjb To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscr...@linux-ottawa.org To get help send a blank message to linux+h...@linux-ottawa.org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org

Re: [linux] looking to document a decent (fedora) linux development environment
It may be worth looking at the non-C programmer requirements to see if that can help them narrow their choices. They should pick a suite of software that all works together. For example, jenkins is java-based. If they were going with that, they could also use eclipse. If not, they might prefer buildbot to jenkins ... buildbot is python-based. buildbot may not be as versatile as jenkins though - not as many plugins, not such a large userbase, etc. Dunno what they'd use for an IDE ... I use emacs : -) I think KDE has some kind of IDE. Depending on what the non-C programmers do, that might help decide the build system, whether it is make, cmake, ant, gradle, maven, shell scripts, what-have-you. If there is any "deployment" happening regularly, they might want something like puppet, chef, ansible, or similar. I've used python's Fabric in the past - it's more of a toolkit than a finished product though but I liked it. Very low profile (only requires ssh server on remote machines). Static analyzers ... the C compilers themselves are improving at that. However Valgrind still beats them for memory leak and other memory bug detection, last I checked (about a year ago). Could include wireshark/tcpdump/libpcap, lsof. Some kind of dbus snooper perhaps, since many (most? all?) Linux distros are going for dbus. Since you mention "editor plugins for C coding", I will say I'm using org-mode for emacs - more as a PIM/calendar/agenda/todo-list/notes organizer. But it is very extensible, and apparently can be used for "literate programming". org-mode can also export the notes in various formats - html, LaTeX, other - and can therefore be used to make presentations and aid in converting one's personal notes to company documents. emacs has lots of plugins for syntax highlighting of various languages, and also for "electric indenting". The "electric indenting" is configurable. Some of the plugins come with standard emacs and some of them are extra. Like Perl, TeX, Python, etc, emacs has its own packaging system ... oh well. What can you do. Also has TAGS integration and apparently version control integration. And you can directly edit files on remote machines using "tramp" (an ssh-based instead of filesystem-based backend). Ok I will stop with the emacs evangelization. Sorry about that. Less technical considerations: For an in-house messaging platform ... irc? People seemed to prefer XMPP five years ago (last time I checked). For a java house, openfire maybe. Although when I used it last (5 years ago and more) it needed regular restarts because of memory leaks. You can always schedule pre-emptive restarts I guess. Openfire was the only java-based messaging platform I used - maybe there are better ones. I suppose everyone uses slack now, except the cool kids, who use discord. So I've heard. Also, for documentation: inkscape, doxygen, etc. I found rst2pdf handy (which depends on reportlab (python-based), but unfortunately that dragged in tetex-live, what can you do). With those, at least you can put the source for your documentation into a version control system and diff the various versions. Issue tracking system: trac, request tracker, bugzilla. request tracker has a commercial support provider, "Gossamer Threads", I can recommend them from recent direct experience.

Re: [linux] git pull vs svn up
To "throw away modifications in your sandbox" you don't have to git pull (or git fetch, as I prefer to do). You can: git reset --hard HEAD It will make your workspace match the HEAD commit on the current branch. It will not remove files that are not being tracked. For that you need git clean At this point, you still need to git pull (or git fetch git rebase remote-tracking-branch as I prefer) to get the remote changes. bjb On Sat, Jul 13, 2019 at 10:14:41AM -0400, Robert P.

[linux] [sergi...@debian.org: Toronto Bug Squashing Party in April]
A Debian Bug Squashing Party in Toronto is taking shape for the last Saturday of April - at Mozilla HQ. See info below, which was sent to Montreal/Quebec Debian User Group. Note the wiki which is being used for organizing - I'm sure details will change as the date approaches so keep checking back. bjb - Forwarded message from Sergio Durigan Junior - Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2019 01:52:51 -0400 From: Sergio Durigan Junior Subject: Toronto Bug Squashing Party in April To: debian-dug-que...@lists.debian.org Cc: Samuel Vale , Alex Volkov Salut, mes amis, I would like to invite you to the first Toronto Bug Squashing Party, to be held on Saturday, April 27th, 2019, at the Mozilla Toronto office. First things first: you can find the most up-to-date information about the event at our wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2019/04/ca/Toronto We are still at the early stages of planning the event, but we thought it would be a good idea to send this e-mail early for you guys and gals in Montréal. Because this is the first BSP in Toronto (ever, probably), and it's also the first BSP that Samuel, Alex and I are organizing, I decided to get in touch with anarcat and invite him to come to Toronto and give his "Packaging 101" talk. He has already given us a few advices on how to proceed, and has kindly 99%-accepted (if I understood correctly) the invitation (thanks!). I know our cities are not really close to each other, and I know that travelling for a one-day event can be tough, but we would love to see more members of the Debian Québécois movement here with us. This event will be important because, if all goes right, it will help us bootstrap a much needed Debian community here in Toronto (I still can't believe we don't have one). Anyway, now the invitation has been made! Feel free to put your names on the wiki page if you're coming, and let the discussions begin.
