  1. @puck_ yeah, it's even available in that form in the Ubuntu Software Center!
  2. I'm sorry @humble but bundling a windows game along with an entire wine install inside a .deb is NOT a Linux port. #humbleindiebundle
  3. Important warning from the #EFF about the war against computers being waged by #Microsoft and #Apple: ur1.ca/9eisr
  4. @LordP @andychilton and there is of course the totally legit "/usr/bin/[" :)
  5. I just left my first ever gpg-signed blog comment on @mickeyc's blog.
  6. @xemacs thanks I'm signed up!
  7. Help @joeyhess create a user-friendly Dropbox replacement based on #git: kck.st/KdPYTv #opensource ($3k is a bargain for this!)
  8. @phirate security-tracker.debian.org is often handy for that kind of stuff (has info about unpatched CVEs too)
  9. Encoding #webm videos? Make sure this is a large number (i.e. you have enough keyframes): mkvinfo -v -v file.webm | grep "Cue time" | wc -l
  10. Just found out about this neat OpenPGP mail header: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jose… #gnupg #mutt
  11. @andychilton Have a look at github.com/blog/831-issue… (hint: fixes #1234 or closes #1234)
  12. Restful email testing service (similar in spirit to #mailinator) by @lloydhilaiel: restmail.net #highlyproductiveyakshaving
  13. @pjf I use gibberbot
  14. Handy tool by @mickeyc to see how much info about you is leaked by your email client: emailprivacytester.com #privacy
  15. @elgrodo @system76 and @zareason both ship with Ubuntu so i'd look there first. Otherwise Thinkpads usually work well (I have T420 at work).
