Redhat was offering a proprietary office suite for linux in 1996 for $495
I had completely forgotten about this. I was telling someone the other day that none of the early office suites/word processors were free. I had to pay for Wordperfect in 1990 to get through college classes. It came with a keyboard overlay to help you learn the keybindings.
Microsoft Word and Wordstar were also paid programs. StarWriter/StarOffice was also a paid office suite which was later included as a proprietary part of Caldera Openlinux. It was later bought and became OpenOffice.
But, I complete forgot [about Redhat and Applixware](https://web.archive.org/web/19961226192012/http://www.redhat.com/news/infoworld-apx.html)
Of course, even the kernel contained the OSS/Free drivers and, if you wanted the full functionality/compatibility that was available, you [had to pay $20 to get the proprietary kernel modules](https://web.archive.org/web/19981205020952/http://www.opensound.com/linux.html)
So, things were very different in the early days of linux, but I thought I'd provide these links as a look back on the bygone days. (BTW, [you had to pay for SuSE Linux in the earliest days. You couldn't get the entire thing for free](https://web.archive.org/web/19970709042628/https://www.suse.com/)

Twenty years ago, Cowsay was released by Tony Monroe. Today I released the Flatpak version
Get it from Flatpak while it’s still hot:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.gitlab.Cowsay
You’re not dreaming. Cowsay is still amongst us and it’s now ready for the 21st century. It features all the latest modern functionality: It’s an Electron app, it fully integrates with IMAP, and it has a monthly subnoscription so you can export your cows to all the formats you like; .docx, .swf and .ai
Not really of cause. It’s essentially everything you’ve already grown familiar with. It comes pre-packaged with all cows and you can just type in the textbox to have the cow dynamically say your inspirational words. It even has partial support for emojis, although I did discover that emojis don’t work very well with mono-space fonts.
There are some obvious omissions in the first version, like thoughts, but I do intend to publish updates over time to implement such precious features. Another thing I want to try eventually, is to start with a quote of the day from WikiQuote, but that’s still a bit tricky as of now.
**About the process**
In the beginning of this year, I got more and more interested in Linux software development, and the ecosystem behind it. As such, I picked a humble goal and I started to work towards that. I was inspired by Lollypop, an app for which I occasionally log bug reports. The collaborative nature pulled me in, and since then working on Cowsay has become a nice side project.
The app is written in Vala, on top of the GNOME framework. For all the heat that GNOME gets, I found that the system is surprisingly intuitive once set up, and I like the strong stylistic consistency. Vala is also a joy to work with. It harbours great power, but it’s easier then C. The way how you can use Flatpak, Glade, and Builder together, and how they create a complete package of build tools, is really nice.
Some hurdles I did encounter. Save the inevitable challenges of learning a new language, there were challenges unique to working in a larger ecosystem like github.gnome.org As a software developer, I’ve never worked in a company larger then 50 people, and even of the companies that size, none were as professionally organised at the GNOME project: AppData.xml, desktop files, meson build noscripts… those did give me a healthy challenge.
On the other hand, I did gladly look at the code of Geary, (email client in Vala) and that helped me more then once. The amount of high quality production code that is suddenly openly available, is a real source of value in the Linux ecosystem. This is in sharp contrast with enterprise development behind closed doors, where you can only look at your own code or that of your colleagues, which is not healthy in the long run.
In the grand scheme of things, I’ve been a user and supporter of Linux for few years now, and this does feel like a natural step forward for myself as a software developer. At this point, I feel confident in working on Cowsay. I won’t make any time commitment, but I’m optimistic.

Samsung NU6950 43" UHD TV works great as a Monitor!
So I was at Costco and on a whim I bought the Samsung UHD NU6950 43" TV for $280 USD. Costco has a great return policy, so my thinking was I would try to use the TV as a monitor for my PC and if it didn't work out, I'd just return it.
To my delight, I plugged it up to my Nvidia GTX1070 via an HDMI 2.0a rated cable and everything worked flawlessly. It runs at the standard 3840x2160 @60hz in both Fedora 30 and Windows 10 (yeah, I still have to dual boot Windows for my VR stuff).
Despite having a beefy system, I still use/like XFCE4 and it was a breeze to setup the TV with the appropriate resolution and with a sane default font scaling. Small text is crisp/clear, and the colors are quite vibrant. 10/10 would buy this TV for use as a monitor again in a heartbeat!

proxychains and dynamic port forwarding
Hi all,
So I am not sure what is wrong with my syntax, but I can't seem to communicate with a host through proxychains and dynamic port forwarding.
​
Remote server ip: [10.10.10.3](https://10.10.10.3)
ssh -f -N -D 8080 [root@10.10.10.3](mailto:root@10.10.10.3)
The remote server has an interface connected to the [172.16.1.0/24](https://172.16.1.0/24) network
I have double checked to make sure that the ssh session is established.
Nothing I send through proxychains seems to work.
​
I've tired:
proxychains ping [172.16.1.24](https://172.16.1.24)
proxychains nmap [172.16.1.0/24](https://172.16.1.0/24)
I just can't seem to connect to anything from my host through the remote server.
Here's my proxychains config:
\# proxychains.conf VER 3.1
\#
\# HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 tunneling proxifier with DNS.
\#
​
\# The option below identifies how the ProxyList is treated.
\# only one option should be uncommented at time,
\# otherwise the last appearing option will be accepted
\#
dynamic\_chain
\#
\# Dynamic - Each connection will be done via chained proxies
\# all proxies chained in the order as they appear in the list
\# at least one proxy must be online to play in chain
\# (dead proxies are skipped)
\# otherwise EINTR is returned to the app
\#
\#strict\_chain
\#
\# Strict - Each connection will be done via chained proxies
\# all proxies chained in the order as they appear in the list
\# all proxies must be online to play in chain
\# otherwise EINTR is returned to the app
\#
\#random\_chain
\#
\# Random - Each connection will be done via random proxy
\# (or proxy chain, see chain\_len) from the list.
\# this option is good to test your IDS :)
​
\# Make sense only if random\_chain
\#chain\_len = 2
​
\# Quiet mode (no output from library)
\#quiet\_mode
​
\# Proxy DNS requests - no leak for DNS data
proxy\_dns
​
\# Some timeouts in milliseconds
tcp\_read\_time\_out 15000
tcp\_connect\_time\_out 8000
​
\# ProxyList format
\# type host port \[user pass\]
\# (values separated by 'tab' or 'blank')
\#
\#
\# Examples:
\#
\# socks5 [192.168.67.78](https://192.168.67.78) 1080 lamer secret
\# http [192.168.89.3](https://192.168.89.3) 8080 justu hidden

\# http [192.168.39.93](https://192.168.39.93) 8080
\#
\#
\# proxy types: http, socks4, socks5
\# ( auth types supported: "basic"-http "user/pass"-socks )
\#
\[ProxyList\]
\# add proxy here ...
\# meanwile
\# defaults set to "tor"

Interested in installing Linux for longtime Windows user
Hello, I have a couple of questions about installing Linux on my PC:
1. Is Linux Mint good for privacy?
2. I know that for dual booting Linux and Windows 10, I would have to set a amount of usable space for Linux but would I be able to increase or decrease that amount if I wish?
3. How long does Linux installation take using a USB 2.0 Flash Drive on an SSD?

Anyone interested to join me in the LFD420 course for September? (Linux Kernel Internals and Development - Linux Foundation course)
I am planning to participate in the Linux Foundation course 'LFD420: Linux Kernel Internals and Development' in September and I am looking for someone to join me. The course has no start guarantee yet. I have contacted the Linux Foundation and they informed me that it needs 2 more participants in order for it to start in September. So if I sign up + someone else it will run. Anyone interested?
The short course denoscription is: 'Learn how to develop for the Linux kernel. In this course you’ll learn how Linux is architected, the basic methods for developing on the kernel, and how to efficiently work with the Linux developer community. If you are interested in learning about the Linux kernel, this is absolutely the definitive course on the subject.'

1994 Distro of Yggdrasil Linux
Cleaning out my storeroom, I found a pristine copy of "Plug-and-Play Linux" from Yggdrasil Computing, dated 1994. It comes on 1 3-1/4" floppy. Also included, a short printed manual of sorts. Would anyone be interested in this due to it's age or should I just toss it in the landfill/recycle. If anyone wants it, I'd mail it to them.
Edit: I see now there is a CD as well.

CLI music player - browse by genre?
Is there a CLI music player that allows you to first browse by genre? My music collection is quite extensive and I like to first sort my music by genre before choosing an album to add to the current running playlist. Right now I am using Lollypop which is a fantastic player, but I was hoping to move to something less RAM intensive with a CLI player. My library is currently stored by Album Artist -> Album and I would prefer not to reorganize this if it can be avoided. Any suggestions?
