Meeting reminder! December 11th! Jon "Maddog" Hall!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, Just a reminder that we've got a meeting on December 11th. The planned speaker is going to be John "Maddog" Hall. I *believe* he'll be speaking about the "Linaro" project among other things. Like usual, refreshments and snacks will be provided. The meeting will take place in the Mid-Century room (rm. 331) starting at 7pm. Afterwards we'll gorge ourselves on pizza.

Security questions aside, for synchronization of Android files to Google Drive I like "Autsync for Google Drive" from metactrl. Was $3 to buy & install.

Re: [Wlug] Cross platform password management

by Frank Sweetser

So my scenario is that (like many others) I have multiple devices I want to access the data from. In my case I primarily use a linux desktop, and windows laptop, and android phone. The simplest case, SSH'ing in, might be how I go, but it's way low on the usability scale compared to a nicely designed app, especially on android where SSH is a last resort without a decent hardware keyboard. I actually prefer Google over a storage backend that's tightly coupled with the app, for the simple reason that it prevents any chance of the backend storage location having any privileged access to the data. Google (or dropbox, or whatever) is just a dumb bag of bytes, so there's no risk of a hushmail style exploit: http://www.wired.com/2007/11/encrypted-e-mai/ (Not that I'm worried about the Feds, the possibility of server side encryption in the workflow makes things a little too tempting for hackers IMHO.) Once the data is assumed to be reasonably secure (where "reasonable" of course depends on the exact credentials stored), letting the already-secured data hang out on Google drive is a decent trade off in security vs usability. Long term I've considered setting up OwnCloud on my box at home, but that's not something I have time to play with right now...

FWIW, +1 for LastPass, though as stated, it does not suit your purposes (both the Chrome and FF plugins are just dandy, a nod to the FF one though). BTW, why the tendency to want to give yet more data to Google? Personally, I'm with Chuck - this data does NOT belong on the cloud, period. Unfortunately I've (so far) failed to organize myself well enough to keep the data outside of the cloud and also accessible [at least without using my own chosen methods of encumbrance on the data], so, LastPass it is for now, for me anyway. Related question: personal cloud/data access solutions? I'm guessing the preference here is a replicate-with-a-friend(s) personal encrypted storage system and CLI/SSH access to such storage.

Frank, You just save your .kdb (or is it .kdbx?) file on Google Drive. It's just a file that you open and save from KeePass, so KeePass doesn't have to support Google Drive per se. I used KeePass for a while, but I prefer LastPass. You said you didn't want an app-specific cloud solution, so I guess that rules out LastPass, but it's what I like. I also pay something like $12/year to LastPass, but it's worth it.

Re: [Wlug] Cross platform password management

I like keepassx because there is a CLI "shell" client I'm using called kpcli. I use both the GUI and CLI in different scenarios. I have the Android client as well, but don't really use it. Instead I SSH in and use kpcli. I prefer to keep my data local (not in the cloud), especially sensitive data like password databases.

Any suggestion for any of the android app variants/clones to try? The couple that I looked at only claim Dropbox support, not google drive.

Great meeting last night!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! Last night we had a great meeting. Logan did a kick ass job on the Asterisks talk! Asterisks is cool than I thought and we all learned quite a bit. For those who were unable to attend, we had a surprise guest! Maddog showed up and brought along a "Banana Pi" and a "Adapteva Parallela". He also offered in the future to speak about the projects that he's currently working on. I was going to speak next month on STEM/Linux software/toys but I'm going to instead step aside for Maddog if it all works out. Also, we're going to work on getting the guy who runs Adapteva to come do a talk about the Parallela platform and his manycore architecture, etc. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I was detained at work so I unfortunately missed the meeting. If there were slides from the presentation, could they be posted to the website so I and others could benefit from them?

Hey Everybody! Just a reminder we'll be having a meeting tomorrow night at 7PM in the mid-century room (rm 331)! Logan Brown will be speaking about Asterisk, the open source PBX software that lets you turn a linux computer into a sophisticated phone switch! There will be refreshments and after the meeting we'll head over to Tech for some pizza! Hope to see you there!
