NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Like the recently released JFK documents there's nothing to see here. The fake news says they were kept secret for no reason at all and you should believe everything they say. Now back to hateful conspiracy theories about Russians. Never forget millions of Russians died in WW2 so Democrats could make fake news like this.

17.10 ALPHA 2

I'm using 17.04 on my production machines and 18.04 on my development boxes, so I really have no interest in 17.10 at this time. Probably won't be any new text/console/server images until next year when I'll build one from scratch again, instead of upgrading from these images

FLASH FRIENDLY ENCRYPTED THUMB DRIVE

Got a new YouBoob viedo of my original (version 1.1) Raspberry Pi 2B running 32-bit Murdock Edition (Debian 8 with backports) and my new Raspberry Pi 3B running PELinux64 BETA6C. Only thing to really note here is when importing an encrypted folder you need to resize the window to see the thumb drive and then right click the file area to see hidden files/folders. After that the wizard is fairly straight forward, just enter a name for the unencrypted mount point. If you don't know how to make a flash friendly partition/drive man mkfs.f2fs -- I like to format the whole thumb drive with no partitions just to make it even harder for non-Linux users to figure out what they're looking at.



Both screens are WaveShare, one 7" and the other 10.1" IPS. For what it's worth the colors on the IPS are fantastic but it's dim and hard to see outdoors. It also sucks more juice and requires its own power. I use two $10 Tzumi 2.4amp USB batteries when carrying it around, one for the Pi 3B and one for the screen.
