Community Coffee Break

Topics Discussed:

bp9
- Client/Server application still needs encryption and signing.
- Encryption should work OK, but signing is not working reliably.
- Even when I run the test cases that were shipped in the source code for the library, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. About 60% of attempts work, 40% do not. Encryption ALWAYS works. Signing does not always work.
- bp9 still needs to finish writing the data exchange algorithm then will return to encryption and signing.
- Shows off the "Think Outside" keyboard for Doug now that he is here. :-)
- Keyboard works well with Raspberry Pi and also works really well with PinePhone.
- Keyboard is only 10% smaller than the letter portion of the full-size keyboard.
- Laments about internet choices in the internet: what sucks and what sucks less.
- Likes the pinephone but you are restricted on where you can get applications to install.
- pinephone points to "Software Center" by default, which does not have evolution or firefox available.
- Expected the pinephone to be a basic linux box with a phone attached.
- SSH works well to and from the pinephone, but only responds IF the display is lit up.
- CPU in Pinebook (NOT Pro) is the same as PinePhone so theoretically the apt sources for pinebook should work on the pinephone.
- Would like to get RobertK into a future Coffee Break to talk about crypto currency
- Also Ameridroid to talk about Various SBC (Single Board Computers)

Doug
- Found IPazzPort WiFi keyboard for RasPi.
- Now he is having issues with Chromium which will not play any DRM content.
- DRM = Digital Rights Management
- Peter and Solbu suggest Doug should be able to just enable DRM since it is deactivated by default.
- Could also install a different browser, which might install a common library that will get DRM working on the other browser.
- Not sure what entertainment package to use; Plex would work but he does not want to crack DRM on DVD or BluRay because that means breaking the law here in USA.

Peter
- Shows up late
- Jokes about the cost of aeroplane parts
- He and a fellow Ham Radio friend are working on the circuit board for his antenna switcher.
- Jeff Weston should note: They are using all kinds of nasty chemicals to etch the circuit board.
- Is dealing with some pretty major dental issues.
- His mother got "the injection" and it was a fiasco

Solbu
- Suggests that /etc/apt/sources.list will show what package sources are available to apt.
- Had to go to a funeral this week. Our condolences to Solbu for the loss of his uncle.
- Would love to implement bp9's suggestion of getting an aeroplane but that costs millions (but we don't know the exchange rate of his currency)
