Linux for time lapse and wifi?
Hello all, I'm looking into using a pine a64 running ubuntu mate to setup a time lapse photo using a standard digital camera controlled over USB. I haven't done a ton of research into it yet, but I wanted to see if anyone else has done something similar and had some advice/opinions. I was thinking of setting this up first as a way to capture an event going on, and second as a wildlife/security camera. I'm also thinking about using it as a wifi access point, the location that it'll be installed, a remote house in Maine, will have a dsl connection, but right now I don't have a wireless router, and since I have this handy I thought I'd take advantage. Thanks, Richard Kolb ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: Upstart issues with Ubuntu 14.04.
Honestly I never even looked to see what I have for a graphics card. This is my wife's old laptop, I bought her a Macbook and took her machine over. I've since added an SSD and maxed out the ram at 8 gigs. I'll poke around at it a bit, I'm sure there is more I can do, right now I have bigger fish to fry.

Re: CentOS vs Unbuntu desktop
I was extremely annoyed yesterday that updating ubuntu was taking so long for such a small number of things. I suspect it was their servers more than anything. I'm giving UbuntuMate a try, it's been so long since I setup a personal machine I don't recall everything that I removed from my last one. I'll have to spend some time cleaning things up. I swear though, mate on my rpi3 seemed faster.

Not exactly related, but I just switched from windows 7 on my primary machine to Ubuntu 16.x LTS. I found it horribly slow, which surprised me considering it's a faster machine, more ram, and an SSD, over my 14.x LTS machine. I then tried Ubuntu Mate and I may just jump over to Centos.

Re: Govt Source Code Policy
The years I spent writing software for defense contractors tells me that the SW is marked 'copyright ' all over it. Paid for with tax dollars or not, the company that wrote it does it's best to keep the copyright for it. IMO this is going to run into the same issue that GPL has, someone is going to take this and make money off of it and the people giving it out are going to get angry and change their mind. I believe that is why GPL is being replaced by non-free licenses. The developers are seeing the work they did for free make money for someone else, once the government sees that they'll go the same route.

Re: Some of you may be interested in signing an H-1B related petition
I will sign that, I will also add that I am a SW Engineer with 16 years of experience, I've been laid off twice in that least few years, both times my job being outsourced to India. I also think that we're not going to get much traction, for the same reasons that David mentioned. On a side note, my father was also working for IBM around the time they started outsourcing his job he took an early retirement.

Re: how dumb is this idea?
How does that RSA apply to using Windows based OS and software? I'd suggest trying LO, I've used it with no issues between a few applications, as long as I remember to save in the correct MS format. My only issues have been minor touch-ups needed for formatting before printing on Windoze. I also picked up a 32gb usb drive, which I use to run linux on a laptop with a fried sata controller. The issue I would see with sending your kids to school with an OS on a stick is that they might have been smart enough to disable booting off USB. I was looking at windows 8 laptops yesterday, $250 for one. Not my first choice, but that price point is kind of hard to ignore.

The feature you'd want here is commonly called port mirroring or port spanning.

Cheaper per port, remote access is easy, scales, works for multiple users w/ a bit of work, can log output and doesn't break. /rant I cry inside when I see someone take a perfectly good Sun Sparc server with serial console and install a keyboard, mouse and graphics card.

If the raspberry pi is not even running an OS, that'd presumably fit into my not running a GUI category; and I'd sort-of expect someone who's getting hardware-trained or wants to write an OS from scratch to get experience using a serial console anyway. The hardware-trained doesn't mean low-level. It means able to hook up basic hardware like keyboards. However, the serial console is a good point. I may even have a serial-to-USB cable around here. I'm not really clear on what the Pi has to be able to do to bring the serial to life, but presumably about as much, or less, as it does to bring the SD card to life before booting. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ -- Richard Kolb II ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
SAS controller
Hi everyone, I have a SAS hard disk that came out of a friends workstation. The workstation died and they didn't get to backup their hard drive first. Does anyone have a SAS controller card for sale?

Re: Resume length and history
I signed up for the website called The Ladders, and paid for the membership that gave me a resume critique. I found that to be very helpful and I seemed to get more interest out of it than I did my old, one page resume. I remember some of the comments, things like: - You have over 12 years experience, your schooling should no longer be the first thing on your resume. - You should start with a summary about yourself, followed by skill set - list all of your employment with bullet lists (handy because I love bullet lists) about what you did, things you accomplished - list facts, like 'developed an integration handoff plan that cut integration time by 40%' or 'cut development costs by designing for reuse, saving the company $12 million.' - end with your education now I was told that my education should be last, because it was the oldest thing on there, I don't know if you'd want to list things like a timeline, say if you just finished a masters or whatever.
