The JaK Attack! Podcast

Summary: Jon Watson and Kelly Penguin Girl are probably best known as the hosts of the GNU/Linux User Show. After 30 shows on The Podcast Network, we've decided to go indie with our own brand of technology, politics, rants, and reviews. This show is free flowing, funny, and just a little too loud.

 The JaK Attack! Episode 2018.46 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:02:39

Welcome to show number 2018.46 It’s sooooo hot in Canada. And everywhere. 30C/86F around here. Jon is learning more about data centers than he ever wanted to. Kelly has been going to a lot of Plein Air art festivals. 07:00 – Kelly’s Corner We just want to apologize to Denmark now. Kelly tells us about some technologies that simply will not exist in 20 years. Cell phone towers is the most interesting thing on the list…? The Seiko Kinetic watch is still a thing. Who knew? Clone #2 does not get paid as much as Brad Pitt would. 30:00 – Jon talks about Boxcryptor There are far to many cloud storage providers. Pros: hooks into your existing cloud service provider and encrypts your stuff. Cons: There is no way to rename or delete a file on the iOS that you’ve added to Boxcryptor via the Boxcryptor app. You need to use the native (Dropbox, etc) app for that…??? Seems your key is stored on the Boxcryptor services (but it is encrypted). Not clear what happens when your yearly subscription expires. 48:40 – Cooperstown news Dog Wild hosts a second dog adoption day! 51:20 – Shout Outs and Bork Outs Kelly hates Alignable Express VPN is our show sponsor and we have a one year subscription to win.

FLIES! Happy 4th ‘Murica! Some fun fact about USA. We use the word “fun” in a way that means “weird”. One American consumes the same resources as 32 Kenyans. That is the weirdest statistic evah. I can’t type the rest, you gotta listen for this weirdness. Here’s some actually fun facts about Canada. ”eh” is in the Canadian Oxford dictionary. Yeah. The Canadian one. Santa’s postal code is H0H 0H0. And only elves that work for Canada Post answer them. And then there is some discussion about de-militarized borders and things get ugly. 46:50 – Cooperstown News Who was that ambulance driver?

Pop-up tents with power, climate control, and no mess!

Solar panels charge your stuff while you’re walking 20:30 – Jon talks about backups, backups, and backups! SpiderOak did not fare well against Jon’s criteria It has no 2FA (two-factor authentication). In 2018. Srsly. Each device in the account can see and download all the files from every other device in the account. Booooooo for data segregation! iDrive is the winner. It backs up all Jon’s devices (Windows, Mac, iPhone, Linux) iDrive has proper encryption and device separation The 2FA is provided by a separate encryption/decryption password from the login password You also get a sync folder to sync data across all your devices without it counting against your backup quota Annnd the price is right!

 The JaK Attack! Episode 18.38 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:04

Welcome to show number 2018.38! Jon succeeds in being quiet for 32 seconds. VICTORY! Kelly has been prepping for her 9th annual Spring art show on May 6th The main benefactor this year is the Hants Foster – foster houses for the animals. Ms. Casey did not like Kelly’s noodle hat. Jon goes off on a tangent about why sugar is good for kids It’s hard to believe how much Jon knows about credit cards now. Too much PCI, too much PCI!! 10:00 – Jon talks about Epson ecotank printers! Somehow we end up talking about prescriptions, but back to printers Ecotank printers come with 2 years worth of ink Seems reasonable…rated at 150 pages per month, starting at about $240. If it works as described, it would be fairly inexpensive. The big issue is the vast span of time between now and two years from now. How can I be sure I will be able to buy ink in two years? Kelly does not want the inconvenience of purchasing single colours of ink. 26:00 – Kelly’s Corner Stephen Hawking passed away today. Today is also Einstein’s birthday.

Welcome to show number 2018.37! Seems we can’t get through the intro without busting in. Jon is now officially Apple Sheeple. He’s counfounded by the ports on a Macbook Air. The bare minimum any professional should bring to the table is pants. We need pants to work people. 08:00 – Kelly’s Corner eSight is “Vision for the Blind” The Jibo robot is almost cure enough to spend $900 USD on. Almost. Maybe Jibo isn’t a secret spy. We’re GEN-X!! At least Kelly thinks so. And following up the list of these amazing inventions is some really lame stuff. 26:00 – Jon talks about crypto currency and death When we die, who gets our Bitcoins? “Mining” means you get a reward for doing some work for the cypto currency block chain. Full disclosure: we’re not lawyers. Do not take legal advice from us. The block chain will tell us how much currency is out there, and even what wallets it is in, but not who owns the wallets. Crypto currency always has some kind possibility of being recovered whereas destroyed cash does not. Only the big guys can mine new coins now. 43:00 – Shout Outs & Bork Outs Center Stage in Kentville, Nova Scotia is putting on the Neil Simon play “Rumors”. Kelly has paintings on the set!

Srsly. 21:00 - Kelly's Corner We're soy sorry Kelly talks about Soy There's a website dedicated entirely to preventing rats from eating your car wires.

It's not something you can take out of the box, and start printing stuff Jon uses TinkerCAD.com to create things, Cura under WINE (Linux image does not work)to slice designs, and Octoprint to do the actual printing 33:00 - Cooperstown News Jon laughs a little too hard at the story of a man charged in Church arson.

Jon thinks Apple Pay is more secure than just a card Kelly vehemently disagrees. Encryption works - The FBI has 7,000 phones they can't get into A fake WhatsApp app stayed in the Google Play store long enough for millions of people to download it The Apple App Store is not invulnerable. It's had its share of bad malware outbreaks, too  37:30 - Kelly's corner Kelly explains the origins of Black Friday Some of the predominant theories about the origin are...ahem...bull crap The name is tied mostly to the number of people who call in sick on those days The first Santa Clause parade in 1905 by Eaton's literally had Santa.
