A thin edition of the Daily Friction today, as it might be the next few days. Build your own long-distance listening device, check out Dell’s XPS 420, look at rsync examples, read Linus Torvalds thought about the future of Linux and more in today’s edition of the Daily Friction.

Hardware

• Build your own long-distance listening device - No DIY espionage kit is complete without a long-distance listening device, and no DIY long-distance listening device is complete unless it uses a sweet laser in some form or fashion.
• Dell’s XPS 420 revealed.

Information

• Some interesting rsync examples: [1] [2].
• BitTorrent Admin Monitored by US Government, Forced to Dump Linux - Sk0t, an ex-administrator of the EliteTorrents BitTorrent tracker is to have his internet connection forcibly monitored by the US Government. If that wasn’t bad enough, the monitoring software is Windows based - which means he is being forced to ditch Linux - or face being barred from the internet.
• Linus Torvalds talks future of Linux

By writing about and linking to the articles/products/software on this page I do not endorse or testify to the reliability of them in any way or form.
