Series 6 Episode 9 – In this episode Mark and Wayne try to install and test some distros but both of them fail, we chat about open document standards and does anyone care, Wayne tries Ubuntu MATE on the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Mark runs Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi 4, more under the hood tips and another epic Irish saying. Enjoy.

00:24 Wayne welcomes us to Episode 9 of Series 6, our Halloween show. The weather is turning properly autumnal, and Wayne loves this kind of weather. It seems Mark loves all types of weather, except the really cold and wet stuff.

02:48 Mark tells us what he’s been at. He tells us about a Mozilla website called youtube regrets in which they’ve gathered peoples’ stories about rabbit holes they wished they’d never gone down on you tube. This leads to a discussion around the effectiveness of AI algorithms. To follow, Mark tells us about some videos on Youtube by LibreOffice and found the Meet the Engineering Steering Committee video of interest. Wayne tells us he uses Invidio.us instead of Youtube these days. The fact that invidio has a dark mode reminds Wayne of a darkmode extension for Firefox that Michael Tunnell mentioned previously. Mark is reminded of Terminator Genisys and how our over-dependence on mobile devices spells our doom. This moves the conversation onto privacy issues and the software we use and Wayne brings up what Graham said on Late Night Linux about how Open Software isn’t quite as good as Industry standard software yet, and how it is still so important to maintain your skills in industry standard software. Mark had hoped that the European Union’s Open Data would have changed the formats and software that we use, but that hasn’t happened yet, though the guys talk about open formats for a bit. The conversation moves on to the portability that Office 365 brings and Mark reminds everyone that he has that functionality with Kolabnow

24:44 Wayne brings the lyrical waxing to an end by asking Mark what else he’s been at. Mark tells us he’s recently picked up a Raspberry Pi 4 with an acrylic case from geekpi. Mark thinks it’s definitely a step up from a Raspberry Pi and the case ensures he doesn’t burn himself. Wayne tells us that he tried Ubuntu MATE on a Raspberry Pi 3b and found it pretty unusable. He goes on to suggest that it could be due to the SD Card he uses, so he’s ordered what was recommended on the Ubuntu MATE site and will report back when he’s had a chance to give it a go.

32:57 Mark talks about Elive. They have a new beta released, so he said he’d download it and give it a go. Unfortunately it didn’t go well and he was unable to install. Since this happened the night before recording, he’s hoping to have another go and report back.

36:58 Wayne tells us about his experience with MXLinux and that didn’t go well either. He had problems with how he uses Multiboot USB. He thinks it may be that MXLinux and the likes of Bunsenlabs need their installer to be run from CD. So neither of the guys were able to accomplish their production meeting goals, so much for production meetings, though Wayne has created a video of his thoughts on MXLinux on a Virtual Machine.

44:59 Mark changes the topic of conversation by talking about Slimbook’s collaboration with the PowerPC Laptop. Mark noticed that the desktop shown in the presentation video was MATE.

50:44 Under the Hood: Wayne’s been running Thunderbird for a long time now, and lately he’s noticed he’s been getting more spam. To try and tackle it, he’s provided a two links to filter spam in Thunderbird. He also mentions his 4GB log file for JACK, which he had to get rid of, so if you’re using JACK make sure and keep an eye on your logs.

Mark makes a hash of describing crypt!

54:35 Irish saying of the show is “Freagramid na ceisteanna” or we answer the questions!

We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did making it!

Series 6 Episode 8 – In this episode Mark and Wayne start off the show talking about DRM as its International Day Against DRM, this leads on to too many logins, Mark chats about wiki learn and Wayne speaks about now needing an Outlook account to setup Windows Home, more under the hood tips and another epic Irish saying. Enjoy.

00:29 Wayne welcomes us to Series 6 Episode 8 from a slightly overcast, take it as it comes Bristol. Mark tells us it’s a bit of a mixed bag in Kilkishen, classic autumnal stuff. Mark pre-empts Wayne’s queries by telling us he’s still working on his core during this loong fortnight, after which the guys muse about the longevity of the show.

03:33 The guys discuss International Day against DRM. It’s a wide ranging discussion covering various aspects of digital locks. Mark describes the dust jacket Defective by Design have come up with for 2019’s International Day against DRM. Mark also mentions that he’s using w3schools css templates to help his daughter build a website on global climate change. He also introduced her to wikitolearn.

31:08 Wayne tells us tales from the other side and says that it is no longer possible to log into Windows 10 Home without an online account, as chronicled in this howtogeek article, which also chronicles ways around it. After this bombshell, Wayne tells us that he’s not spending as much time doing IT work because since he is now using Nextcloud, vim, ssh and Remmina. He has a lot of his projects completed, though now he has to maintain it! He’s taking a bit of time out to decide how he’s going to manage all his IT bits, going forward.
