Fun meeting guys, sorry I had to run from dinner. So we mentioned QubesOS, I know I'm interested in seeing a follow up from that. Anyone else?

Tim, A newbie question: With respect to Linux security/virus protection, is Firejail Security Sandbox (https://firejail.wordpress.com/ ) worthwhile. It is in the Mint repository. The Linux.com review is at: https://www.linux.com/learn/lock-your-untrusted-applications-firejail Another review of it is at http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/firejail.html If anyone uses it, perhaps a discussion at tonight's meeting.

Out of curiosity, why not via Wifi? It doesn't require any drivers on the client side which is really nice. To your question, I haven't done it in over 5 years so my experiences probably are relevant anymore.

This is an unrooted Motorola Droid Turbo on Verizon. I found that I can go into Developer Settings on the phone, set the USB connection type to RNDIS, and my computer sees a USB network connection, but I haven't been able to get an IP address assigned; it says "connecting" for a bit, then fails.

Android USB tethering
by Richard Klein May 21, 2017

May 21, 2017

Does anyone have experience tethering an Android phone to their PC via USB? I'm trying FoxFi (pdanet.co) on my phone. It says you need to run companion software on your PC, and they offer that software for Windows and Mac, but not for Linux. I don't have internet access to my home anymore, so I can't search repositories like I used to. -- Thanks! Rich
