FOSDEM Online Via Matrix
EMS - Offical Matrix Hosting
https://matrix.org/blog/2021/01/04/taking-fosdem-online-via-matrix
Started with Matrix over SELF / Wanted the ability to connect with people in a free and open source decentralized client, found Matrix, got sucked in.
2021 - Altispeed officially switched to EMS Matrix instance
Public Roadmap / Can buy feature deveopment / entire sales staff to handle feature requests
Jitsi - Feature we didn't think we'd use and end up using it daily now
Matrix team are in active contact with the Jitsi team making BOTH Jitsi AND Matrix better.
FOSDEM will have its own dedicated Matrix server at fosdem.org (hosted by EMS along with a ton of Jitsi’s) acting as the social backbone for the event
Official bridges will be provided to IRC and XMPP (and most other chat systems), giving as much openness and choice as possible - if folks want to participate via Freenode and XMPP they can!
FOSDEM has spent a lot of time improving widgets recently: these give the ability to embed arbitrary webapps into chatrooms - letting you add livestreams, video conferences, schedules, Q&A dashboards etc, augmenting a plain old chatroom into a much richer virtual experience that can hopefully capture the semantics and requirements of an event like FOSDE
Attendees can lurk as read-only guests in devrooms without needing to set up accounts (or they can of course use their existing Matrix/IRC/XMPP accounts)
Every devroom and track will have its own chatroom, where the audience can hang out and view the livestream of that particular devroom (using the normal FOSDEM video livestream system).
There will also be a ‘backstage’ room per track for coordination between the devroom organisers and the speakers.
The talks themselves will be prerecorded to minimise risk of disaster, but each talk will have a question & answer session at the end which will be a live Jitsi broadcast from the speaker and a host who will relay questions from the devroom.
Each talk will have a dedicated room too, where after the official talk slot the audience can pop in and chat to the speaker more informally if they’re available (by text and/or by moderated jitsi). During the talk, this room will act as the ‘stage’ for the speaker & host to watch the livestream and conduct the question & answer session.
Every stand will also have its own chatroom and optional jitsi+livestream, as will BOFs or other adhoc events, so folks can get involved both by chat and video
There’ll also be a set of official support, social etc rooms - and of course folks can always create their own!
FOSDEM Matrix bot, responsible for orchestrating the hundreds of required rooms, setting up the right widgets and permissions, setting up bridges to IRC & XMPP, and keeping everything in sync with the official live FOSDEM schedule.
Call for help
Folks on XMPP often complain that the Bifröst Matrix<->XMPP bridge doesn’t support MAMs - meaning that if XMPP users lose connection, they lose scrollback. We’re not going to have time to fix this ourselves in time, so this would be a great time for XMPP folks who grok xmpp.js to come get involved and help to ensure the best possible XMPP experience!
It’d be really nice to be able to render nice schedule widgets for each devroom, and embed the overall schedule in the support rooms etc. The current HTML schedules https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/day/saturday/ and https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/room/vcollab/ don’t exactly fit - if someone could write a thing which renders them at (say) 2:5 aspect ratio so they can fit nicely down the side of a chatroom then that could be awesome!
While we’ll bridge all the official rooms over to Freenode, it’d be even nicer if people could just hop straight into any room on the FOSDEM server (or beyond) via IRC - effectively exposing the whole thing as an IRC network for those who prefer IRC. We have a project to do this: matrix-ircd, but it almost certainly needs more love and polish before it could be used for something as big as this. If you like Rust and know Matrix, please jump in and get involved!
If you just want to follow along or help out, then we’ve created a general room for discussion over at #fosdem-matrix:fosdem.org. It’d be awesome to have as many useful bots & widgets as possible to help things along.

LG Smart TVs Are Sending Your Data Home
LG Smart Ad, analyses users favourite programs, online behaviour, search keywords and other information to offer relevant ads to target audiences.
http://doctorbeet.blogspot.com/2013/11/lg-smart-tvs-logging-usb-filenames-and.html
There is an option in the system settings called "Collection of watching info:" which is set ON by default
This setting requires the user to scroll down to see it and, unlike most other settings, contains no "balloon help" to describe what it does
It turns out that viewing information (such as file names) appears to be being sent regardless of whether this option is set to On or Off
This information appears to be sent back unencrypted and in the clear to LG every time you change channel

FinCEN Proposes New Cryptocurrency Law
The regulation, proposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), would require financial institutions (like Square) to collect personal information about the parties involved in cryptocurrency transactions. You can read a deep-dive on them here, but the more important requirement is for financial institutions to collect the name and physical address of both parties of any large transaction they’re involved in.
Jack Dorsey is not happy about new crypto currency law
Dorsey argues the regulation could end up driving customers “to use non-custodial wallets or services outside the U.S. to transfer their assets more easily,” leading to FinCEN having “less visibility into the universe of cryptocurrency transactions than it has today.” Put simply, if people have to provide private information to a bank in order to make a transaction, they’ll avoid using the bank — something the CEO describes as a perverse incentive.

Gadget of the Week Playstation 5 Controller
DualSense™ Wireless PS5 Controller
The DualSense wireless controller for PS5 offers immersive haptic feedback2, dynamic adaptive triggers2 and a built-in microphone, all integrated into an iconic design.
Feel physically responsive feedback to your in-game actions with dual actuators which replace traditional rumble motors. In your hands, these dynamic vibrations can simulate the feeling of everything from environments to the recoil of different weapons
Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring to hitting the brakes on a speeding car, feel physically connected to your on-screen actions.
Available from Sony for $69.99
Linux driver support
[From Roderick Colenbrander](roderick.colenbrander@sony.com)
Supported in linux
*DualSense in both Bluetooth and USB modes
*LEDs
*Touchpad
*Motion Sensors
*Rumble
Not supported yet
*Adaptive Triggers
*VCM based Haptics
These features require a large amount of data and complex data structures. It is not clear how to
expose these. The current Evdev and FF frameworks are too limiting. We hope
to have a dialog on how to expose these over time in a generic way.
Companies are starting to get it - make a good controller, make the code open so everyone can use it, people will buy your controller.

Default Applications is a new dialog represents a merger between the previously available 'Mime Settings' and the 'Preferred Applications' dialogs.
Added fractional scaling based on the RandR extension of X11
Added more default keyboard shortcuts out of the box (Examples: for window tiling or to open Thunar)
xfce4-panel
The panel received quite a few noteworthy updates
*Animation for autohide and intellihide
*New 'Status Tray' plugin that combines both legacy Systray item support with modern StatusNotifier item support
*Dark mode support
*Launchers showing additional actions on right-click
*Window buttons offering to Launch a new instance
XFCE Power Managment was cleaned up
The settings dialog of the power manager was cleaned up and shows either 'on battery' or 'plugged in' settings as opposed to both in a huge table.
[DarkTable](darktable.org) - 3.4 Encore!
https://www.darktable.org/2020/12/darktable-3-4/
Best professional photography tools out there
This is the second major release of 2020
5,500 commits in 2020!
Many of the computationally-intensive image processing algorithms have been updated to be faster and more scaleable when running on the CPU.
Improved operations to a number of the tools
Releasing the first version of the new user manual, now split into a separate project named “dtdocs”. We have completely reorganised and rewritten the manual into a more maintainable structure using Markdown. This project has involved new content as well as a significant overhaul of the text, making it much easier to read for native English speakers
In addition, filmic RGB version 4 now works with OpenCL and highlight reconstruction is now significantly faster with OpenCL-enabled hardware.
New Module: Color Calibration
Tone Equalizer Improvements
Export Print Sizes
Map View Changes
The global color picker module UI has been overhauled
It is now possible to automatically hide the header buttons on processing modules in the darkroom
Hovering your mouse over the header of a processing module now displays a tool tip providing detailed in-app documentation.
Many users have requested customization of module groups, and now that feature is here! Processing modules in the darkroom can now be assigned to user-defined module groups. This replaces the previous “favorites” group and the “more modules” module with a tool that allows you to create your own module groups and presets based on your work flow.

A2DP audio out only (high quality)
HSP audio out and in (low quality)
Check what protocols are supported by your dongle
Easiest way to work around this...
sudo apt-get install blueman
starting from Pulseaudio v. 11.0, it's possible to automatically switch the profile whenever microphone access is requested by the application, but it's disabled by default.
Find load-module module-bluetooth-policy line in /etc/pulse/default.pa
Change it to load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2
You need to reload pulseaudio module after this for the changes to take effect:
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio -D
Now pulseaudio will switch the device profile to HSP whenever microphone access is requested and change it back to A2DP after stream is closed.

Along with quite a lot of new features, the announcement brings an end to the former distinction between "ZFS on Linux" and ZFS elsewhere (for example, on FreeBSD). This move has been a long time coming—the FreeBSD community laid out its side of the roadmap two years ago—but this is the release that makes it official.Install LuneOS for Pinephone - WebOS-PortsAmazon.com: USB C Charger for MacBook Pro Air, RAVPower 65W 2-Port PD Charger GaN Fast Charging Wall Charger Adapter with Foldable Plug for iPad Pro, iPhone 12 Mini Pro Max, Galaxy S10 S9, Nintendo and MoreAmazon.com: Anker USB C to USB C Cable, Powerline+ USB 2.0 Cord (6ft), High Durability, for USB Type-C Devices Including Galaxy Note 8 S8 S8+ S9, iPad Pro 2020, Pixel, Nexus 6P, Huawei Matebook, MacBook and MoreAmazon.com: USB C Charger for MacBook Pro Air, RAVPower 65W 2-Port PD Charger GaN Fast Charging Wall Charger Adapter with Foldable Plug for iPad Pro, iPhone 12 Mini Pro Max, Galaxy S10 S9, Nintendo and More

There is one little catch, though: versions of Android prior to 7.1.1 (released in late 2016) do not recognize that certificate and will start throwing errors. "Currently, 66.2% of Android devices are running version 7.1 or above. The remaining 33.8% of Android devices will eventually start getting certificate errors when users visit sites that have a Let’s Encrypt certificate. In our communications with large integrators, we have found that this represents around 1-5% of traffic to their sites." There appears to be little to be done about this problem other than to encourage owners of older Android devices to install Firefox.
