Hi, Due to recent spams targetting this mailing list, I have changed the rule to hold everything for moderation from now on. I have asked owners of this list to moderate spams last month itself. Unfortunately that didn't happen. So in order to save our instance from distributing spam, I've changed the rule. Abhijith PA lists.fsci.in admin.

https://www.webtopbestblogger.com A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Hello Mumbai Linuxers, Moving back to Mumbai later this year. The following link provides a summary of the ISPs in Mumbai. https://paytm.com/blog/bill-payments/broadband-bills/list-of-best-broadband… I would like to have two ISP services (a) fiber and (b) 4G/LTE cellular data coming into an OpenWrt router doing load balancing/failover. So whenever there is a hiccup on the primary ISP service, my internet access is uninterrupted through cellular data service. Minimum data transfer rate (i) downstream 100 Mbps downstream and (ii) upstream 10 Mbps. Seeking your guidance in selecting a reliable Broadband ISP in the western suburbs (Khar/Santacruz West) for (a) wired and (b) cellular data PS -- I have a similar setup right now with Cox cable internet and T-Mobile 5G Home internet. Thanks so much. -- Arun Khan (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) "If you do not come out of your shell, you are just a nut." Sadhguru

Top 3 Features of Every HRMS Software
by Shikha singh 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

Irrespective of the size and type of business, you need HR Software to make the best of your workforce talent. That is what the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) helps you to achieve. An HRMS software with automation helps; you take care of hectic and tedious tasks to focus on productivity. Human resource management software is a robust tool for today's competitive business environment. This technology will help to align your employee performance with business goals. Here, we have mentioned the relevant capabilities of the HR software solution. 1-Employee Management The core functionality of any best HR software is managing the employee management system. This technology will help to hire the best talent for the vacant positions and manage them. Additionally, it helps to track employee performance and nurture them to achieve goals. 2-Recruitment Software According to the research, 22% of employees quit their new jobs in 40-45 days. The recruitment process happens to be the first and most crucial human resource task. In fact, the HR team has to interview each applicant and select the best candidate for the position. 3-Payroll Payroll management is another vital aspect of HR software. There is more to the payroll process than issuing a paycheck to your employees every month. Companies have to record the data of each employee to access it whenever they need it. Businesses need to offer accurate; remuneration to the workers. Nothing in the HR payroll system is more complicated than payroll. As it involves calculations, there is a high risk of manual error.

Problems with my System 76 Laptop.
by Dhruva Lokegaonkar 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hey, My galago pro is acting weird. It runs for a few minutes, then the power led starts blinking orange, and then it shuts down. The battery is pretty much dead. But it was working fine on AC power. Any ideas what it could be? Its 2.5 years old. I'm in India right now so I cannot set it to system 76 for repairs. I can prevent the shutdown by putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up buy i have to keep doing it every other minute as the orange light start blinking within 2 min. -- "Jiska Pata Nahi Hota, Uska Pata Nahi Chalta" Shanti dhruva(a)lokegaonkar.in <mailto:dhruva@lokegaonkar.in> lokegaonkar.in <https://lokegaonkar.in>

order of proximity from the Centre while alighting: Kurla terminus, Dadar terminus, Bombay Central and CST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus or VT (Victoria Terminus), farthest being CST. From each of the stations you may follow the instructions given below to reach the Centre. * If you alight at CST/VT, buy a ticket to Mankhurd board the trains marked M, VA, BR, KD or PL. The journey time is approximately 55 minutes. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Dadar, you may directly take a taxi to Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. The taxi fare will be about Rs.120/-. It is not advisable to take the suburban train in the evening after 3pm, specially on a working day. If you wish to come by the suburban train, buy a ticket to Mankhurd, take a train for Kurla station, and then switch over to harbour line train on platform number 7 to reach Mankhurd. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Kurla, you may take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. Auto fare will be about Rs.30/-. If you wish to come by the local train buy a ticket to Mankhurd and board harbour line train on platform number 7. After alighting at the Mankhurd station, get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) for Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn, before reaching the bus terminus, you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Bombay Central, you may take a taxi to Anushakti nagar bus terminus. Taxi fare will be about Rs.150/-. A cheaper option would be to take a suburban train to Bandra, and then take an auto-rikshaw to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Auto fare from Bandra will be about Rs.60/-. From Bandra you can also board BEST bus, route number 371 directly to the bus terminus. If you have any problems in reaching HBCSE please call the centre, asking for help. Phones: 556 7711, 555 4712, 555 5242, 558 0036, 558 0890.

The demise of CentOS as we knew it
by Arun Khan 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

You may have read about this already. Sharing the news as FYI for those using CentOS as an RHEL compatible OS. IBM/RHEL has changed the strategy for CentOS support (software) with CentOS 8 (EOL 2021-12-31); CentOS 7 support will not change till it's EOL in 2024-06-24 [1]. The gist of it. CentOS 8 will become "upstream" for RHEL and no longer be based on RHEL source RPMs; break binary compatibility. Read more here >> https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ Many enterprises adopted CentOS because of it's binary compatibility with RHEL and 3rd party software solutions. Small companies, developers, and even big enterprises who are using CentOS will have to rethink their Linux OS roadmap. Here is an ArsTechnica article with alternates for RHEL compatibility. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/centos-linux-is-gone-but-its-refuge… [1] https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product -- Arun Khan (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) "If you do not come out of your shell, you are just a nut."

HBCSE Electronic ChatShaala
by J T Dsouza 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

HBCSE is running a daily online discourse on electronics. The goal is to learn electronics with a personal context. Context is created when participants bring in a project or gadget of interest to them and discuss various aspects of interest. Discussion spans the entire spectrum from elementary to advanced. So far we have covered small linear and switching power supplies, automated disinfectant dispenser, simple robot, preliminary design of a pulse oximeter, automating a pump connected to a washing machine, housing society water distribution - which is of interest given deficient rains in mumbai this year and a water cut of 20% already started today. There is no agenda or order to the discussions, but inevitably lead to a indepth and practically functional capability to build one's gadget . All questions are welcome, there being no question too simple or foolish to ask and discuss. There is no prerequisite to joining the discussion. We use lush projects online simulator given the constraints imposed by lockdowns. However having electronic components, multimeter, solder iron and basic tools will enable you to build gadgets. Timing 1530 to 1700 Monday to Saturday. Usually discussions spill over to 1730. Meeting url (BigBlueButton) https://webinar.hbcse.tifr.res.in/b/rs7-7hj-une

Running a web server on a machine with private IP Address.
by Nachiketa Sadhu 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

Hi, I recently moved from Mumbai to Kolkata, where I have a fiber network connection who provided me with a private IP address for my machine. My local IP is 172.17.177.88 and the public IP is 45.250.245.79. My desktop is connected to a Wi-fi router with a DHCP host, which provides a IP to my desktop 192.168.1.46. If I want to run a web server and mail server namely Apache and postfix on my machine, how do I configure my machine? Not running the machine 24/7 will be a problem? I run Fedora 32 64 bit GNU/Linux on my machine. Please let me know if any more information is required to answer my question. I will be thankful for any pointers which I can read to understand the complexities.

Does Perl 5 still have any followers out here?
by mayuresh＠kathe.in 02 May '20

02 May '20

I have been fiddling with Perl 6 (Raku) for the past 2 weeks, and while specification wise (what's on paper) it looks quite advanced, the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. That set me wondering if Perl 5 (Perl) is still being used by people. Back in the good old days, some of us (Philip Tellis and me at least) started serious programming using Perl and it was a joy to use. Don't know about the current status. Are there still any Perl programmers/developers around out here on this list and in Bombay specifically? If yes, would like to catch-up with some at a meetup (when-ever that happens). ~Mayuresh

How to Make the Switch From Windows to Linux
by Navin Dhanuka 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

How to Make the Switch From Windows to Linux Unlike Windows and macOS, there isn't just one version of Linux. Instead, Linux is packaged into many different distributions, or "distros," each with their own interface and set of features. One may use a Mac-like interface with a dock and an "app store," while others may use a more minimalist interface and require installing apps from the command line. Exploring the bevy of Linux distributions out there is a fun part of the hobby, but for your first installation, you will likely want something popular and beginner-friendly, so it's easy to get help when you need it. here are a lot of distributions that aim to mimic Windows in layout and functionality, like Zorin OS <https://zorinos.com/>, but they're on the smaller side, and you won't have as big a community to tap as you learn your way around. Ubuntu <https://ubuntu.com/>, on the other hand, is arguably the most popular <https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity> distro on desktop PCs, but it isn't very Windows-like at all these days. Linux Mint is a perfect in-between option: it's designed for beginners, offers a familiar desktop environment, and it's based on Ubuntu, so you can make use of the enormous Ubuntu/Mint community when you need help.

What Are UNIX, Linux, and GNU?
by Navin Dhanuka 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

What Are UNIX, Linux, and GNU? UNIX is a proprietary, command-line-based operating system originally developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson (among others) at AT&T's Bell Labs in the late 1960s and early 1970s. UNIX is coded almost entirely in the C programming language (also invented by Ritchie) and was originally intended to be used as a portable and convenient OS for programmers and researchers. As a result of a long and complicated legal history <https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/07/should-we-thank-for-feds-for-th…> involving AT&T, Bell Labs, and the federal government, UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems grew in popularity, as did Thompson's influential philosophy of a modular, minimalist approach to software design. During this period, Richard Stallman launched the GNU Project <https://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.html> with the goal of creating "an operating system that is free software." GNU, confusingly, stands for "GNU's Not UNIX." This project is responsible for the UNIX-like GNU OS. Stallman also launched the related Free Software Foundation (FSF) on the principle that "any user can study the source code, modify it, and share the program" for any participating software. I'll go deeper into what makes up an operating system in a minute, but the plot thickened when, essentially, the development of a very important low-level component called the kernel or GNU Hurd did not fully materialize. This is where Linux, a kernel developed by Linus Torvalds among others, entered the picture. According to GNU <https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html>: "Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system." GNU purists argue that references to Linux as the complete operating system that exists today should instead be written as GNU/Linux <https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html>, in acknowledgment of the pair's symbiotic relationship. Others tend to focus on the fact that Linux (with no prefix) has become a more mainstream term and the logic behind the GNU/Linux nomenclature could expand ad nauseam to GNU/Linux/Windowing System Name/Desktop Environment Name/Etc. For the purpose of this guide, I'll use GNU/Linux. Other UNIX-like operating system options exist too, notably FreeBSD and Qubes OS, which work with their own kernels and software. The histories of these projects could fill many books, but this brief summation should be enough to contextualize some terms you may come across.

One-Time vs. Recurring Payments for WordPress Products
by Navin Dhanuka 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

One-Time vs. Recurring Payments for WordPress Products Jeff Starr posed the question at Digging into WordPress: Which Pricing Model Do You Prefer: One-Time or Recurring? <https://digwp.com/2019/12/pricing-model-better/> It is not the first time the question has been asked in the WordPress community and will not be the last. It is important that we keep coming back to it from time to time. In the early days of the commercial WordPress ecosystem, many shops sold products for a one-time fee. This was particularly true during the 2007-2010 years, which were what many dub the “WordPress themes heyday,” a period in which theme shops raked in tons of cash due to lack of competition. As the market became more saturated, many businesses saw the writing on the wall. One-time fees for commercial themes or plugins did not make for a sustainable business model. Of course, some companies pushed forward with that model. They were either large enough to capitalize on an influx of new customers every year or they continued to push out new products for existing customers to buy. Today, most theme and plugin shops utilize a recurring business model. Many of those shops also set up automatic renewals. From a business perspective, companies need to keep existing customers while bringing in new buyers to continue maintaining, supporting, and building new features for the current product catalog. Companies also need growth to build new products. A recurring fee helps ease the burden of supporting and maintaining the existing products. https://wptavern.com/one-time-vs-recurring-payments-for-wordpress-products -- Navin Dhanuka ~~~~~~~~~~~ Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing. :: Abraham Lincoln ::

Progress on WordPress’ 2019 Projects Sets 2020 Roadmap

Josepha Haden, Executive Director of WordPress, published an update of WordPress’ goals in 2019 <https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/12/06/update-9-projects-for-2019/>. The focus for WordPress over the past year has been on nine primary projects. Of the nine projects, WordPress only managed to ship two in 2019. This means that the focus in 2020 will be much the same as the community continues building on the progress it has made toward the existing projects. Currently, there are three planned major releases <https://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/> for WordPress in 2020: - Version 5.4 – March 2020 - Version 5.5 – August 2020 - Version 5.6 – December 2020 https://wptavern.com/progress-on-wordpress-2019-projects-sets-2020-roadmap -- Navin Dhanuka ~~~~~~~~~~~ Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing. :: Abraham Lincoln ::

WordPress Acceptance Testing: Solved
by Navin Dhanuka 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

WordPress Acceptance Testing: Solved If you use Wordpress, you should know about WP Acceptance, a toolkit that helps developers and CI pipelines to test codebases using version controlled acceptance tests and sharable environments. This talk by Taylor Lovett dives into Wordpress Acceptance, the motivation behind its creation, and how to use it in your WP apps. Automated testing is an important part of every web application. When building WordPress plugins, themes, and websites, there are a plethora of different frameworks for unit testing, integration testing, and acceptance testing. While many of these frameworks are useful, most of them are hard to use, ineffective at stopping regressions, not scalable to a team of developers, or not easily integrated with CI pipelines. WP Acceptance, is a toolkit that empowers developers and CI pipelines to test codebases using version controlled acceptance tests and sharable environments. This talk will explain the motivation behind WP Acceptance, how to use it, and why it’s the most effective way to test your WordPress applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6Z5oPPGaZs -- Navin Dhanuka ~~~~~~~~~~~ Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing. :: Abraham Lincoln ::

Linus Torvalds isn't worried about Microsoft taking over Linux
by Navin Dhanuka 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Linus Torvalds isn't worried about Microsoft taking over Linux And you shouldn't be either. Every company wants to rule Linux -- none of them can or ever will. Every time I write a story about Microsoft and Linux, I can guarantee I'll be buried under such comments as "Microsoft is buying control of Linux!" or "Microsoft is just practicing it old embrace, extend, and extinguish tactics to destroy Linux" or "Microsoft is a wolf in sheep's clothing -- it will wreck Linux." Here's the truth of the matter: Yes, Microsoft wants to profit from Linux. And, yes, Microsoft wants to extend and control Linux. Guess what? Everyone does, and none of them can. At the 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference <https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/>, I talked to Linus Torvalds and several other of the Linux kernel's top programmers. They universally agreed Microsoft wants to control Linux, but they're not worried about it. That's because Linux, by its very nature and its GPL2 open-source licensing, can't be controlled by any single third-party. Torvalds said: "The whole anti-Microsoft thing was sometimes funny as a joke, but not really. Today, they're actually much friendlier. I talk to Microsoft engineers at various conferences, and I feel like, yes, they have changed, and the engineers are happy. And they're like really happy working on Linux. So I completely dismissed all the anti-Microsoft stuff." But that doesn't mean the Microsoft leopard can't change its spots. Sure, he hears, "This is the old Microsoft, and they're just biding their time." But, Torvalds said, "I don't think that's true. I mean, there will be tension. But that's true with any company that comes into Linux; they have their own objectives. And they want to do things their way because they have a reason for it." So, with Linux, "Microsoft tends to be mainly about Azure and doing all the stuff to make Linux work well for them," he explained.

The Linux Kernel Enters 2020 At 27.8 Million Lines In Git But With Less Developers For 2019
by Navin Dhanuka 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

The Linux Kernel Enters 2020 At 27.8 Million Lines In Git But With Less Developers For 2019 As of this morning in the Linux kernel Git source tree, the kernel weighs in at 27.8 million lines! The stats as we start 2020 put the Linux kernel source tree at 27,852,148 lines (including docs, Kconfig files, user-space utilities in-tree, etc), 887,925 commits, and around 21,074 different authors. The 27.8 million lines are divided among 66,492 files. During 2019, the Linux kernel saw 74,754 commits, which is actually the lowest point since 2013. The 74k commits is compares to 80k commits seen in both 2017 and 2018, 77k commits in 2016, and 75k commits in both 2014 and 2015. Besides the commit count being lower, the author count for the year is also lower. 2019 saw around 4,189 different authors to the Linux kernel, which is lower than the 4,362 in 2018 and 4,402 in 2017.

2020 & Unix Clone OS's and me
by Navin Dhanuka 28 Dec '19

28 Dec '19

Hello All, I have been using PC (Win & Lin) since 1999. Today is almost the last day of 2019. So I have been with Win and Unix clone systems since 20 years. I have been with MacBook Air since almost 1 year now. Apple Mac OS X is also a Unix clone so I take pride in using it. I don't use Windows at all. I do use some M$ tools like Office and Visual Studio (on Mac). I have been working in the web domain since 20 years. Now after 20 years I am changing my career direction. Enough of reading and researching. I am now looking forward make something cool SaaS apps. I am starting with hacking Wordpress in and out. I will be making a lot of WP Plugins in future. Anybody with similar interest. -- Navin Dhanuka ~~~~~~~~~~~ Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing. :: Abraham Lincoln ::

This revised and updated second edition lays out a strategy for planning and creating a radically successful life in software development. https://pragprog.com/book/cfcar2/the-passionate-programmer ==== I just loved this book.

Can Open Source be applied to win a business segment or to win a technology segment

Open Source == Open Collaboration Open Source == Open Culture Open Source == Open Specs Open Source == Open Debugging Open Source == Open Roadmap Open Source == Open Outcome If Open Source is applied to technology: — it becomes awesome — it becomes powerful — it becomes larger than specs — it becomes bug free — it becomes power of public domain If Open Source is applied to business segment: — it becomes foolish — it becomes pain point of some1 else’s business — it becomes free of cost part of some1’s business process — it becomes no revenue corner for the Inc. — it becomes a pain point for the others in the industry Examples: As many as you want.

Linus Torvalds: ‘I’m Not a Programmer Anymore’
by Navin Dhanuka 21 Dec '19

21 Dec '19

Linus Torvalds, Linux’s creator, doesn’t make speeches anymore. But, what he does do, and he did again at Open Source Summit Europe in Lyon France is have public conversations with his friend Dirk Hohndel, VMware’s Chief Open Source Officer. In this keynote discussion, Torvalds revealed that he doesn’t think he’s a programmer anymore. So what does the person everyone thinks of as a programmer’s programmer do instead? Torvalds explained: “I don’t know coding at all anymore. Most of the code I write is in my e-mails. So somebody sends me a patch … I [reply with] pseudo code. I’m so used to editing patches now I sometimes edit patches and send out the patch without having ever tested it. I literally wrote it in the mail and say, ‘I think this is how it should be done,’ but this is what I do, I am not a programmer.” So, Hohndel asked, “What is your job?” Torvalds replied, “I read and write a lot of email. My job really is, in the end, is to say ‘no.’ Somebody has to say ‘no’ to [this patch or that pull request]. And because developers know that if they do something that I’ll say ‘no’ to, they do a better job of writing the code.” Read More: Zdnet.com <https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-im-not-a-programmer-anymore/> -- Navin Dhanuka ~~~~~~~~~~~ Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing. :: Abraham Lincoln ::

The Air Force still used eight-inch floppy disks
by Navin Dhanuka 20 Dec '19

20 Dec '19

Five years after CBS publicized <https://www.cbsnews.com/news/whos-minding-the-nuclear-weapons/> the fact that the Air Force still used eight-inch floppy disks to store data critical to operating the Air Force’s intercontinental ballistic missile command, the aerial and space warfare service branch decided it was time to officially retire them <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/air-force-finally-re…> . The system, once called the Strategic Air Command Digital Network <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Air_Command_Digital_Information_Net…> (SACDIN), relied on IBM Series/1 computers installed by the Air Force at Minuteman II missile sites in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite the contention by the Air Force at the time of the 60 Minutes report that the archaic hardware offered a cybersecurity advantage, the service has completed an upgrade to what is now known as the Strategic Automated Command and Control System (SACCS), as Defense News reports <https://www.c4isrnet.com/air/2019/10/17/the-us-nuclear-forces-dr-strangelov…>. SAACS is an upgrade that swaps the floppy disk system for what Lt. Col. Jason Rossi, commander of the Air Force’s 595th Strategic Communications Squadron, described as a “highly secure solid state digital storage solution.” The floppy drives were fully retired in June. But the IBM Series/1 computers remain, in part because of their reliability and security. And it’s not clear whether other upgrades to “modernize” the system have been completed. Air Force officials have acknowledged network upgrades that have enhanced the speed and capacity of SACCS’ communications systems, and a Government Accountability Office report in 2016 <https://www.gao.gov/assets/680/677454.pdf> noted that the Air Force planned to “update its data storage solutions, port expansion processors, portable terminals, and desktop terminals by the end of fiscal year 2017.” But it’s not clear how much of that has been completed.

M$ Japan tried 4-Day Workweek
by Navin Dhanuka 20 Dec '19

20 Dec '19

MS Power User reports on the results of a 2,300-employee experiment by Microsoft with a four-day work week: In August this year, Microsoft Japan ran an experiment where for one month they had a 3 day weekend, taking Friday off. This was paid leave and did not impact the worker’s usual vacation allocation. Some results were predictable. Workers were happier and took 25.4 percent fewer days off during the month. There were also savings from spending less time at work. 23.1 percent less electricity was used and 58.7 percent fewer pages were printed. More importantly from a bottom-line standpoint, however, productivity went up 39.9%, as fewer and shorter meetings were held, often virtually rather than in person.

Finland Is Making Its Online AI Crash Course Free To the World
by Navin Dhanuka 20 Dec '19

Last year, Finland launched a free online crash course in artificial intelligence with the aim of educating its citizens about the new technology. Now, as a Christmas present to the world, the European nation is making the six week program available for anyone to take. The Verge reports: Strictly speaking, it’s a present for the European Union. Finland is relinquishing the EU’s rotating presidency at the end of the year, and decided to translate its course into every EU language as a gift to citizens. But there aren’t any geographical restrictions as to who can take the course, so really it’s to the world’s benefit. The course certainly proved itself in Finland, with more than 1 percent of the Nordic nation’s 5.5 million citizens signing up. The course, named Elements of AI, is currently available in English, Swedish, Estonian, Finnish, and German. @ – https://www.elementsofai.com/ Source: SlashDot.org <https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/12/19/2211253/finland-is-making-its-onli…> -- Navin Dhanuka ~~~~~~~~~~~ Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing. :: Abraham Lincoln ::

It is, if nothing else, a clear view of just how much Facebook dominated our daily lives from 2010 to 2019.

While we have been providing services to install Linux server which frankly, earlier took ages and each server manually needed to be installed selecting correct packages, all settings, additional software, etc. (sometimes took 2 days), this installer takes away all pain and does entire installation within 20 minutes without requiring any configuration. We are giving it out free. How do I get people to start using it? Download is available and we have uploaded installation videos. Even a hardware engineer with basic fundamentals of server, user, groups, folders, access control can install and use for free. Email alerts are also available for initial months for free. Guidance requested. We are zero at marketing finesse.

Present a poster at PyCon India 2019 !
by ABHISHEK MISHRA 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Hi Everyone, I am Abhishek from PyCon India team and really excited to annouce that we have poster presentation this time in PyCon India 2019 ! Here is a chance to present a poster in PyCon India 2019 ! As announced earlier, the posters are yet another way of participating in PyCon India 2019, which is happening on Oct 12-15, at Chennai. There are two different poster types: *Technical Posters* - for presenting projects and insights on various topics *Community Posters* - for user groups / meetup groups to promote their work Here are few good reasons to present a poster: 1. Posters offer the opportunity to engage with attendees interested in the same subject and application as yourself. You might strike up a conversation with someone about your poster that may lead to future collaborations or even a job offer! 2. If you are new to conferences, or if you are intimidated about doing a talk in front of huge audience, posters are for you. Posters are a great way to test the waters, and can be stepping stone for your next talk at a conference. 3. The entire conference attendees is available during the poster session, as there are no other tracks scheduled in parallel. This makes it better than the talk sessions, where there are multiple concurrent tracks, and attendees can only attend one of them. 4. A poster presentation is a good way to disseminate your work, particularly if your topic or project falls within a narrow field of specialization. It also gives you the opportunity to actively engage with others during the conference in a way that networking alone does not, since by its very nature the poster defines the topic of conversation. 5. Another good reason to present a poster is that you can expect to receive compliments on your work and critiques that can help you in the future. An insightful, impartial discussion of your work by a peer can often provide ideas for improving your work downstream. In short, poster presentations provide value, both for attendees who discuss your poster content with you, and for yourself because of the opportunities highlighted above. If this has got you interested, head to https://in.pycon.org/cfp/posters-2019/proposals/ for more details and to submit a poster proposal. For more details about PyCon India, visit https://in.pycon.org/ Regards, Abhishek Mishra PyCon India 2019 Team Credits: Partly based on https://people.clas.ufl.edu/oppenhe/2014/06/09/7-reasons-why-you-should-pre…

Ubuntu 18.04 is official now in the state Junior Colleges.
by Tayyabali Sayyad 28 Jul '19

28 Jul '19

We are very glad to make you know that the restructured IT syllabus of XI standard is based exclusively on Open Source content. The books are now available in the market. Around 1.5 lac students in Maharashtra will be introduced to Linux and open source from this and successive years. Although the recommended OS is Ubuntu 18.04, LTS, students can use any other Linux Distro if they are interested. All screenshots are that of OSS. This was indeed a major hurdle in migration with old textbooks. The book follows the National Education Policy in ICT education in order to make the education cost-effective, ethical and accessible to all. This is undoubtedly the result of the seeds sown by our veteran founders of ilug-bom. We are incredibly fortunate to have your support in our journey of restructuring the syllabus of IT for XI standard. This couldn't have been achieved without your timely and valuable support. The most substantial contribution is from Krishnakant Mane and his GNUKhata team. The extensive training which the team provided gave BOS members tremendous confidence, especially in the accounting software. Special thanks to Prajakta Patkar, Karan Kamdar and Abhijit of GNUKhata team. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nagarjuna, Prof Khedkar, Prof Abhinav Jog, Chandita, and Kasinath Guru. We are thankful to Adv V P Patil, Adv Amardev Unniyal and Sudhakar Kashyap for their help regarding PIL. Thanks to Fr Jude and Sajida of St Mary High School, Sr Meena of Auxilium High School, Gayathri Narayanan (SIWS College), Vidyadhar Mhatre, Shrikrishna Joshi. We are very much thankful to Sudhanwa Joglekar, Gaurav Pant and many other members from PLUG. We are thankful to Balbharti, Hon Director, Support Staff and of course to all BOS team members (listed in the textbook) We are thankful to Rushubh Mehta and Dr Nambiar, Director DBIT, for providing space for ilug-bom meetings and FOSS events. Words are not enough to express how grateful we are for the help you all extended to us directly or indirectly. Please accept our warmest thanks for your support. We hope to get the same support in the years to come. After this two year course, students join various graduation courses, especially BSc(IT) recognized by Mumbai University. These courses still use proprietary software on a large scale in the degree college computer labs. Although many degree colleges are struggling to migrate to open source, they are held back due to some exclusive vendor based products in the curriculum. We expect far more support in order to pursue this issue at the university level. - Team Don Bosco Rushabh, Joe, Raghu, Rajeev,Tayyab, Nilesh, Milind, Pralhad, Benoy,Dhruv, Sameer, Dr Medhekar, Vishal, Rajendra. -- Thanks and Regards!

Tamarind Tree, Dahanu
by Michelle C 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello All, I am fairly new to the group. I am part of a team that runs an "Open Education" initiative, Tamarind Tree <https://tamarindtree.org> at Dahanu (about two hours north of Mumbai). Our space is grounded on the open source philosophy, believing that every learner must have access to high quality learning through Open Educational Resources (OERs), enabling them to become life long learners. Towards this, we have a combination of Open hardware (SBCs), open gamified tools installed on our customised OS (Treebian!) and content and courses hosted on an open LMS (My Big Campus <https://mybigcampus.in> on moodle). Content is generated based on the NCERT courses and being released under a CC-BY license. Its a DIY space with all this being developed, run and managed in-house by a handful of people. The school is recognised by the Maharashtra Government, catering to the local adivasi children from Pre Primary to Grade 8. We we will be going up to Class 10. Its run in English. We would he happy to host members of this group for a visit here or even offer our space for meetings and share some of our challenges with setting up an open digital model in a rural area. We serve food to the kids, so hosting a group of 10-20 people is not an issue on a weekday. The train takes 2 hours from Bandra and comes straight to Dahanu Road. We are also looking for collaborations on the following fronts: 1. A Moodle and network administrator (can work remotely) (paid position) 2. People to come and volunteer and lead open source projects (building weather station, Open Street Map, teaching imaging, etc) with our students 3. People interested in building educational content, learning videos, games in open source. 4. Our students have been working on Scratch, but we need people for mentoring and inspiration! Please do let me know how to take this forward.

Regarding Speaker Recommendation for PyCon India 2019
by ABHISHEK MISHRA 21 May '19

21 May '19

Hi PyCon India 2019 wants to fairly represent the complete Python community in India. That means not just the Python experts. It also means people from unrelated fields for whom Python just happened to be the best tool for their job. A tinkerer who made magic with Python. A Pythonista from an underrepresented community. A novice, learning Python from the first time (because learning Python now is not the same as learning Python a decade back). You can recommend any number of speakers. It is an opportunity to discover the hidden gems of our community. Any Pythonista you believe may have something to share, please recommend. We want to email to them, inviting them to submit a proposal for a talk in PyCon India 2019. Recommendation form is here https://forms.gle/piodZz74SZZuw7M19 If you want to propose a talk, the Call For Proposal page is https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2019/proposals/ . Thank you for making PyCon India a better community. Regards Abhishek Mishra, On Behalf of PyCon India 2019 Organizing Team

OSM - Quick start for first time users
by Milind Oka 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hi all, Finally I decided to try OSM on my own as I could not find any local guru. Here is a short report for the benefit of new users in order to save their time (and not to teach them anything as such). ● Go to openstreetmap.org ● Open an account and then login. ● The site has an interactive walk through tutorial which is excellent so spend 4-5 minutes if you want. ● The site has three in-browser editors. First one is iD which is simple and sufficient. Select it without fail and proceed. (otherwise Arial view will not be available). ● Views can be found in Layer option. There are two main views that you use - First is Arial view from satellite and the second is OpenStreetMap - standard view, which is used for navigation. You can switch back and forth through these two views or layers. ● There are three important edits that you are supposed to do as your basic contributuion. ● First is Point or Point of Interest (POI). This can be restaurant, cafe, chemist etc. There can be several such points in a building. ● Second is Area (building, ground, lake etc), ● Third is Line (Road, FOB, Pipelines etc) Ensure that you are logged in and iD Editor is selected. START CONTRIBUTING NOW : ● Search any familiar place where you would like to contribute. Locate any building based on its shape and surrounding which is not yet tagged. ● Identify its name by nearby elements. Then click on it and in the resulting popup give its name say "xyz Mansion". Tick-Save-Upload. Thats it ! ● If a building does not exist on map, then switch to satellite image. Hit Area tool and make a closed region around it and then tag it (as we did in previous step). You may add other details if you want, for example, level, height etc ● Do the same for other areas like gardens, grounds and lakes etc. Points are also to be added at appropriate places so that the map will be even more useful to all. Hope this quick tour is helpful. About 80% buildings are shown on map but not tagged. Remaing 20% are yet to be shown (using area tool) and then to be tagged. So contributions are really needed on large scale. Nagarjuna, in our last meeting, suggested that OSM should be introduced to students. We surely have to do that. My thoughts from ilug-bom viewpoint : This can be taken as a regular activity in our monthly meetings. No separate sessions are necessary. Anybody can start contributing in 10 minutes provided someone shows the options and a sample contribution. We can take a small live session in introduction itself . In fact we will upload new member's house/building/bunglow and few other tags as a part of demonstration. There is a desktop application JOSM which is bit more advanced. Also few android apps are there. Two of them are worth using. OsmAnd+ and Vespucci. OsmAnd+ is mainly for OSM users (for navigation etc). Vessupucci is alternative to iD/JOSM. It is for contributors. Found Vesupucci quite satisfactory. Started contributing even from mobile using Vespucci. Thanks and Regards Milind

Does GNU/Linux run on Apple hardware?
by Mayuresh Kathe 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

I love Apple's hardware, but don't really like their software much. Am looking to purchase an Apple workstation, but would like to run some GNU/Linux distribution on it. Questions; 1. Is there any GNU/Linux distribution which runs on Apple hardware? 2. Is it legal to run some other OS on Apple hardware? 3. If another OS is run on Apple hardware, does it void warranties? Please avoid sending in responses stating that Apple Mac OS X is better than GNU/Linux in some way. That might be true, but personally, I would prefer GNU/Linux. Thanks, ~Mayuresh

meetups : suggestion : change of venue!
by Mayuresh Kathe 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

could the venue for future meetups be changed back to the 'hbcse' campus at mankhurd? it was the place where it all started back in 1997, and it does hold environment of coolness to it, especially with all the trees and greenery and seclusion, et all. ;) on a more serious note, it would be better to reach the end of mumbai than the weird mid-way-off-track location of vidyavihar. if it's a case of lack of resources to conduct the meetup at 'hbcse' then it's okay, but otherwise, nothing beats the atmosphere of 'hbcse'.

Purchasing a RaspberryPi in Mumbai
by Darshit Shah 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hi, I will be visiting Mumbai soon and am interested in picking up a couple of Raspberry Pi devices. Preferably the Rpi Zero or the new RPi 3 Model A. Does anyone have good suggestions on where I can get these? Could I pick them up at Lamington Road? If so, any suggestions for the specific shop? On the other hand, I'm willing to purchase them online as well, if the shipping can be done in a reasonable time (~1 week). -- Thanking You, Darshit Shah PGP Fingerprint: 7845 120B 07CB D8D6 ECE5 FF2B 2A17 43ED A91A 35B6

Hello, I tried the Debian "Graphical Install" during installation and the GUI felt quite nice. Very light, focused, and clean. Is there any particular name for the toolkit being used and is there any way to use that toolkit for projects other than the Debian graphical installer? Thank you, ~Mayuresh

Debian : 9.6 : installer : netinst : with extra firmware : no wifi configuration post install
by Mayuresh Kathe 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Hello, I have finally managed to download the unofficial CD for Debian 9.6 with the extra firmware and drivers. The boot-up, wifi network configuration, and installation when through absolutely smoothly. The problem started after the first boot. There is no wifi configuration pre-built on the system, and I have no idea about how to configure the same. Would someone with the knowledge and experience please guide me through this? Or atleast point me to some material I could read? Thank you, ~Mayuresh

by Mayuresh Kathe 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

hi, i installed debian 9 on my laptop and it isn't supporting the wifi sub-system. i tried minimal-install of fedora 29 and the wifi is supported but remains unconfigured. so basically, the wifi drivers do exist under linux, just not under stock debian. is there any particular variant of debian (other than ubuntu and derivates) i should try out to check if it would support wifi networking under my laptop? thanks, ~mayuresh

19 Nov '18

hello, i had purchased at amazon echo plus (latest iteration) for experimenting with the hardware, but the system is completely closed and tightly shut. i can't access the internals without ripping apart the covering. in the above case, the system is majorly useless to me and i would like to sell it off as soon as possible. i have purchased it 2 days back for inr.14,999/- and am willing to part with it for inr.10,000/-. if anyone is interested in acquiring the fully functional and in-one-piece system do let me know at the earliest. best regards, ~mayuresh

Variables used in the RHEL config files and init scripts
by Arun Khan 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Have you ever been frustrated trying to find *all* the possible variables used in the config files and init scripts in a RHEL or derivative distribution? I was working on a RHEL setup to configure a "dummy0" interface with very specific requirement: this interface shall *not* be managed by the NetworkManager. The RHEL Networking PDF (official doc) does not mention NM_CONTROLLED! After much searching, I found the answer in this Ars Technica discussion forum https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=767128 They are all defined in a file that goes by the following name. /usr/share/doc/initscripts-xxx/sysconfig.txt (where xxx is the initscripts version installed by the distro) I hope you find it useful in your journey as a Sys/Net Admin working with RHEL and/or derivative. Cheers, -- akk

[commercial] mini distro for personal use
by Mayuresh Kathe 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

[sorry to have not added-in the "commercial" tag to my mail] anyone interested in building a mini linux distro? characteristics would be; 1. build a highly stable yet performant customized workstation-grade linux kernel, 2. layer it up with bionic, compiled for high performance and dynamic linking, 3. layer that up with only the non-graphical components of "plan 9 port", 4. add-in any other required components from third-party sources without bloat. 5. provide a safe environment, where-in accidental deletion of system files be impossible all scripts should be "rc" (p9p shell) scripts, including the init ones. this would be paid work and the developer would have the permission to take it public and maintain it as his/her own distro for wider consumption. the challenge is; 1. to make the whole installation fit in 8mb of disk space, 2. to have the whole distro (while installed on hdd) load-up and run from memory and save only state back to disk on shutdown. 3. to have a complete boot-up in less than 8 seconds. 4. to have a reliable on-disk storage setup. other factors to consider would be; 1. be non-live and installable off a usb disk, 2. have the ability to automount usb disks, 3. have nothing to do what-so-ever with other forms of storage other than the hdd and usb disks. i need the distro built for my workstation hardware and hence would want to see it have only the drivers required by my workstation paving the way for an easier path towards the goal of making the whole installation fit in only 8mb of hdd space. if anyone is interested in building this please ask me a ton of questions before sending in the quotation for the work. *and* please ask all questions except for the commercial part "on the list".

hi, i need a custom linux distribution for personal (desktop) use. i currently lack the time to do it myself, hence this request to the list. please note, i haven't used the term 'gnu' because there won't be any 'gnu' tools used, though it will need to be built around the linux kernel. this "can be" paid work, but i can't offer large sums of money. :-) feel free to respond on or off-list. best, ~mayuresh

options for a lilo based distro?

hi, i grew up with the lilo bootloader, and find grub to be quite hairy. i am currently running debian, and wondered if there are still any linux distributions out there running with lilo. the first thought that came to mind was slackware, and would like to know of anyone still using it and if slackware still utilizes lilo or has migrated to grub. thanks, ~mayuresh

Fwd: SFLC.in - Round Table Discussion on Data Protection (Sep. 26 Mumbai)
by GN 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Software Freedom Law Centre is organizing a Round Table Discussion tomorrow at Taj Lands End, Bandra West between 10.30 and 5.30pm. I thought some of you may be interested in participating in this meeting. If you are coming, please send me (off the list) your name. Sorry for the late Invite. Please find the agenda of the meeting attached. The Supreme Court of India in the Puttaswamy judgement recommended the need to examine and put into place a robust regime for data protection. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had constituted a Committee of Experts to deliberate on a data protection framework for India, under the Chairmanship of Mr. Justice B.N. Srikrishna. On 27 July 2018, this expert committee submitted its Repor <http://meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Data_Protection_Committee_Report-co…>t <http://meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Data_Protection_Committee_Report-co…> along with a draft bill titled The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2018 <http://meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Personal_Data_Protection_Bill%2C201…> to the Ministry of Information and Technology (MeitY). On 14 August, the Ministry issued a call for comments <http://meity.gov.in/content/feedback-draft-personal-data-protection-bill> on the draft Bill to be submitted by 30 September 2018. The data protection framework would have immense implications for the privacy rights of citizens and for the open Internet. It is important to deliberate whether the draft bill is in tune with the privacy rights of citizens as laid down in the Puttaswamy judgment as well as the expectations of various stakeholders. SFLC.in is organizing a round-table discussions in 3 cities across Indiato facilitate exchangeof ideas between various stakeholders so that organizations and individuals can submit informed responses to the Government on the Bill, these are: *Mum**bai***on Sept. 26, 2018 (Wednesday) at the Taj Lands End, Bandra West between 10.30am and 5.30pm

Unable to switch between AMD drivers to get vulkan support
by Dhruva lokegaonkar 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Hello, I needed some help with graphics drivers I have a AMD graphics card (r9 280x) I've been using the x86-video-ati driver but I also have the amdgpu driver installed. I wanted vuklan support so I need to use the amdgpu driver. How can I switch between what driver I'm using? lspci -k shows in using the "radeon" driver (which is the ATI driver) I've tried adding MODULES=(amdgpu) in my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and running mkinitcpio -p linux but the kernel still uses the radeon driver. Also I'm using arch and I've installed the xorg-drivers group. I actually tried uninstalling the xf86-video-ati package but even after uninstalling that I was still stuck on the same driver. (I've tried rebooting) Let's say I also install the amdgpu-pro proprietary driver. Is there a way I can switch between the various drivers and how do I check what driver I'm running? Note: I'm checking vulkan support with vkmark and trying DXVK support in Lutris (with wine) -- Dhruva Lokegaonkar dhruva(a)lokegaonkar.in
