LCTT 2014 LCTT 成立一年总结
============================
### 缘起 ###
一年前,我因为开发 Linux 中国的微信公众号,想着在公众号里面提供 Linux 的 man 手册应该是个不错的主意,因此在网上遍寻中文 man 手册。虽然我之前也寻找过中文的 man 手册,知道颇多不全和错漏,但是这次仔细搜寻之下,却发现还远较我预计的还差。
无奈之下,只能先使用了英文版本作为 man 的内容,并因此萌发了组织一个翻译 man 手册的活动或组织的想法。说干就干,当时我就在 Linux 中国的 QQ 群里面发起了倡议,还真得到了大家响应。
于是2013 年 9 月 10日草草而就的 LCTT 就成立了,很快就创建了一个 QQ 群作为交流并确定了名称为“Linux.CN Translate Team”简称 LCTT。考虑到需要多人协作几乎没有多想就决定了采用 GITHUB 作为翻译平台——虽然现在看起来GITHUB 作为主要工作平台有利也有弊但是总体来说还是不错的。LCTT 就这样启动了。
### 发展 ###
次日,我们就组织起来了翻译,并初步拟定了翻译流程、分工之类的内容。
LCTT 草创,各种方面都没有经验,也出现过一些失误。比如说,开始时对于 GITHUB 以及 GIT大部分人包括我都不是很熟悉因此并未采用 Pull-Request 模式,而是共同控制的方式,也由于一些协调和经验的原因,出现过版本错误和回滚,甚至回滚得更乱。还有,初期还要求 LINUX 中国网站 的注册身份,但是后来发现这完全不必要。
本来成立 LCTT 的目标是为了 man 手册的翻译,但是经过研究,我发现翻译 man 手册还有一些困难:
1. man 手册是二进制的 groff 格式,因此生成和解析需要一些额外的过程,甚至需要一些特定的环境;
2. man 手册对翻译的能力要求较高,并且应该对 man 手册所对应的命令有足够的了解,才能翻译得当,因为一字之差就可能导致很多误解。
所以,当时商量决定,先期启动普通的 Linux 方面、开源方面的文章翻译,以此来摸索翻译流程和锻炼协作,并作为翻译 man 手册的人员筛选环节。
我安排 Linux 中国站长,原本经常独自翻译发表来自国外文章的 DeadFire 来做选题。他负责将选题从英文的页面,转换成 Markdown 格式。我又找了朋友 jasminepeng 和 carolinewuyan 帮忙做校对,我自己则主要承担发布的工作。
初期,很快就涌现出了一些积极参与的人员,如 tinyeyeser、vito-L、boredivanivan等等不一一列举了他们不但积极参与翻译而且还帮助撰写了第一批的翻译组 Wiki 文档,对引导新人起到了很大作用。
伴随着 LCTT 的逐步运作,一个月之后,我和大家感觉时间比较成熟了,就启动了 man 翻译计划。
### man 翻译计划的夭折 ###
_写下这个标题时我也颇感觉惭愧的这也算是我正视这个结果吧。不管怎么说现在还是深夜未过零点我终究是在 LCTT 一周年之前正视了失败。_
其实,前面提到过,我检索过各种可以找到的中文 man 翻译项目的结果,但种种结果让人无法满意,因此我觉得,我应该能吸取其中的教训,为 Linux、为开源做点实事出来。
我总结的之前的 man 翻译项目失败的原因大概如下:
1. 缺乏足够的驱动力,翻译者无论从利益还是荣誉,都得不到鼓励,因此往往难以为继。
2. 由于依赖个人热情,没有形成流动机制,因此,当某个人热情耗尽之后,就没有人继续接手维护。
3. 翻译流程简单,没有形成初译、校对、发布等流程,无法保证质量,也没有保持同步更新的流程。
因此,我觉得,通过建立一个翻译的公益组织(即 LCTT、建立翻译流程、翻译后保留翻译和校对等人员的署名可以解决一些以上的问题。
但是,其实我还忽视了一点,翻译 man 手册,其实无论是环境还是流程,比较复杂,因此限制了参与者。参与门槛高,导致发展不能持续。
因此实际上man 翻译项目在大概运作了一个月之后就逐渐停滞下来了虽然后期willqian 独立完成了很多篇但是总体来说man 翻译项目算是失败了。
### 总结这一年 ###
抛开 man 翻译项目的失败不说其实LCTT 还是成果累累。
这一年,我们完成了 5820 次提交,发起了 1482 个 PR翻译了 805 篇文章。
这一年,我们有了 98 个贡献者,得到了 162 个 fork。
我使用了一个工具,根据这一年来我们 LCTT 翻译项目的 git 日志,生成了一段[视频](http://img.linux.net.cn/static/video/lctt2014.mp4)。看着视频中如辛勤的工蜂一样忙忙碌碌的志愿者们;看着如穿花蝴蝶一样,承担了更多工作量的选题、校对们;看着归档时如同施展魔法一样,瞬间变出了一朵朵花,我感觉我们这一年是有收获的一年!
请大家观赏我们这一年: http://img.linux.net.cn/static/video/lctt2014.mp4 213M720p
这是我用 kdenlive 合成配音的。虽然我的乐感很差,只能选择一首自己觉得还算配的音乐;虽然我根本不会用 kdenlive连配音淡出都琢磨半天虽然我编译用于生成这个视频的 gource 都花费了几个小时来解决问题;但是,看到这份视频,我为我们 LCTT 这一年来的工作感到骄傲。
### 感谢你们 ###
虽然很俗套,但是此刻,已经是 2014 年 9 月 10 日凌晨00:50了我心情很激动真心感谢所有的参与者、贡献者。几乎每个 LCTT 的成员我都知道也有几个我特别熟悉LCTT 的成员有新来的,也有逐渐淡出的,但是不论是那种,我都记得你们。
名单太长,我就不一一列举了: https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject/graphs/contributors
### 接下来 ###
我会说man 计划我不会放弃么?
是的man 计划是 LCTT 之所以发起的原因,也是 LCTT 能够持久发展的基础,而 man 翻译也是真正对国内的 Linux 、开源发展有实在意义的事情,所以,我不会放弃。
我会投入精力开发一个翻译平台,用于 man 项目的翻译、校对和发布,将复杂的翻译环境配置和使用方法隐藏在后面;并增加可视化的图表和进度显示,明了的体现翻译工作进展;对接 man7.org 的最新更新,保持 man 内容的及时更新等等。
期待 LCTT 的下一个年度的发展吧!

用命令行去发掘有趣的“前十”
================================================================================
**如果你喜欢做排名前10之类的列表但又有点不好意思这样说那么告诉人们你热爱数据的探索。为了进一步打动他们向他们解释你在命令行间的数据探索。但是不要告诉他们这其实很容易以免你的好形象就这样被毁灭了哦**
在这篇文章中我将基于GNU/Linux工具和'单列表格'(也就是我所说的简单列表)来做一些数据探索。如若想在这里通过命令行查看更多的信息,请查看'man'页,或者在“注释”部分求解。
### 密码 ###
在第一个列表里探讨的是马克.伯内特2011著的关于[10000 个最常用的密码][1]汇编。这个列表是有序的、使用最频繁的也是广为人知的阶乘“密码”的最常用来源之一与“123456”并列排名第二。在这里我把该列表放到一个名为“passwords”的文件中并且使用head命令把排名前10的列出来了
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/1.png)
(伯内特解释他是如何收集这些密码的[这里][2]。你会注意到在列表中他把所有大写字母都转换成小写的。)
OK所以'password'是伯内特列表的顶部。那么每个数字呢?
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/2.png)
非常有趣的是!数字'1'出现在密码列表中的次数多于第二个最常用数字'2'的两倍而且除了0和9之外这十个数字出现的次数以其数字顺序排列。而排名前10的字母呢
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/3.png)
在 passwords 文件中出现最频繁的字母依次是EARONISTLC类似于EAIRTONSLC这是至少[一个出版的表格][3]中提到的常用英文单词中出现的字频。这是否意味着,大部分密码其实是一些常见的英语单词呢,也许会参杂一些数字呢?
为了找到答案,我先把密码转换成一个纯字母的字符串列表,然后看看有多少字符串是可以在英语词典中找到的。
首先我将通过 **sed** 命令删除所有密码中的数字,然后删除所有的标点符号,再删除所有的空行。这将创建出一个纯字母的密码列表。然后我通过**sort** 和 **uniq**来修剪列表的排序,将重复项取出。(例如,'abc1234def'和'abc1!2!3!def!'都剔除剩下'abcdef'.) 。根据wc命令我把1000个密码减至成8583个纯字母的字符串
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/4.png)
我经常使用一本便携式的英语字典,我通常会使用`usr/share/dict/american-english`这个文件是来自Debian Linux的一个发行版本。它包含了99171个单词。我会先通过**tr**命令将这个词表转换为纯小写的,然后使用**sort** 和 **uniq**删除掉任何重复的条目排序(例如'A' 和 'a' 都将成为 'a'。这样就将词表的数量减至97723项了
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/5.png)
我现在可以用comm命令及'-23'的参数来比较两个列表,并报告纯字母文件中而没有出现在字典中的单词:
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/6.png)
总数是3137所以至少有8583 -3137 = 5446个'核心'密码在伯纳特的纯小写字母列表中大约63%是简单的英语单词或者是简单的单词附加一些数字或者标点符号。我之所以说“至少”是因为在3137个字符串中有很大比例是只有经过轻微修改的纯英语单词、名称、或者在/usr/share字典中未能找到的名称修改而成的。在LA项中例如'labtec', 'ladyboy', 'lakeside', 'lalakers', 'lalala', 'laserjet', 'lasvegas', 'lavalamp' 和 'lawman'.
### 地名 ###
在之前的一篇[Linux Rain article][4]我描述了如何建立一张37万项澳大利亚的地名表。有了它我现在可以回答一些类似这样的关键问题“Round Hill是澳大利亚山脉中最流行的名字吗”和“桑迪是沙滩之最而岩溪峡谷呢
在地名表中地名字段的排名第2所以这里有
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/7.png)
哇。我当时甚至没有关闭这个终端。(但是请注意到我是如何通过**\^string1\^string2**命令保存打印的内容。它重复着最后一个命令但是用第2个字符串代替了第1个字符串。这是多么有用的BASH绝招
另一个亟待解决的问题是有多少地名有'Mile'在其中,例如'Six Mile Creek',而他们的排名又是如何:
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/8.png)
我在我的澳洲之旅发现有很多Dead Horse Creeks因此有这些地名

### 种类 ###
第三个列表是探索我今年出版的1961-2010年期间澳大利亚新种类昆虫名。从这个列表中我去掉所有“物种的绰号”就是种群组合的第二部分比如像智人你和我和西方蜜蜂欧洲蜜蜂
科技小贴士这个昆虫表可以从开发数据Zenodo库中[https://zenodo.org/record/10481][5]取得包括亚种。在我的top 10练习中我首先分离出所有独特的种群组合这样避免了重复的例如蜜蜂iberica的亚种以避免蜜蜂的绰号intermissa等等。最后一个物种文件有18155个绰号。
大多数人讲科学名称带玩笑式地用'-us'结局,如'Biggus buggus'。那么昆虫学家呢有几个不错的用命令行的方式获取字符串的最后2个字母在这里我都会用到这2个
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/10.png)
耶!昆虫学家喜欢也‘-us结尾。接下来我不知道有多少物种是以我的家乡Tasmania州来命名的下面我想看看前100行来确保我得到的所有'tasman'组合.)
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/11.png)
那么昆士兰呢?
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/12.png)
一般来说昆虫物种名单中的前10名分别是什么呢
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/13.png)
嗯,除了明显的'australis'和'australiensis',而地理方面的'occidentalis'西部另外昆虫学家创建7个在10个最流行列表中的绰号已经履行了其它昆虫学家的意愿。(绰号'commoni'是给澳大利亚蝴蝶和蛾专家Ian F.B. Common[1917-2006]的荣誉。)
### 演变 ###
上面的这些命令用在简单列表上。要从简单的列表变成文本块那就再次需要我们的命令行朋友了。例如我把澳大利亚参议院于2014年7月16日的[演讲][6]保存成文本文件hansard。将hansard分割成一个单词列表
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/14.png)
现在看看讲话中的单词使用频率:
![](http://thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/67-top-10-fun-on-the-command-line/15.png)
### 即将推出... ###
从多列的表中做'top 10'等排名,需要更多些的命令行工具。我将会在未来的文章中证明他们的用处。

如何为Linux系统中的SSH添加双重认证
================================================================================
近来很多知名企业都出现了密码泄露,业内对多重认证的呼声也越来越高。在这种多重认证的系统中,用户需要通过两种不同的认证程序:提供他们知道的信息(如 用户名/密码),再借助其他工具提供用户所不知道的信息(如 用手机生成的一次性密码)。这种组合方式常叫做双因子认证或者两阶段验证。
为了鼓励广泛采用双因子认证的方式Google公司发布了[Google Authenticator][1],一款开源的,可基于开放规则(如 HMAP/基于时间生成一次性密码的软件。这是一款跨平台软件可运行在Linux, [Android][2], [iOS][3]。Google公司同时也支持插件式鉴别模块PAM(pluggable authentication module)使其能和其他也适用PAM进行验证的工具如OpenSSH协同工作。
在本教程中我们将叙述集成OpenSSH和Google提供的认证器实现**如何为SSH服务设置双因子认证**。我将使用一款[Android][4]设备来生成一次性密码,本教程中需要两样兵器:(1)一台运行着OpenSSH服务的Linux终端(2)一台安卓设备。
在本教程中我们将叙述集成OpenSSH和Google提供的认证器实现**如何为SSH服务设置双因子认证**。我将使用一款[Android][4]设备来生成一次性密码,本教程中需要两样武器:(1)一台运行着OpenSSH服务的Linux终端(2)一台安卓设备。
### 在Linux系统中安装Google Authenticator ###
第一步需要在运行着OpenSSH服务的Linux主机上安装Google认证器。按照[安装指南] [5]的步骤安装Google认证器及其PAM模块。
第一步需要在运行着OpenSSH服务的Linux主机上安装Google认证器。按照如下步骤安装Google认证器及其PAM模块。
#### 用安装包安装 Google Authenticator ####
如果你不想自己构建 Google Authenticator在几个 Linux 发行版上有已经编译好的安装包。安装包里面包含 Google Authenticator 二进制程序和 PAM 模块。
在 Ubuntu 上安装 Google Authenticator
$ sudo apt-get install libpam-google-authenticator
在 Fedora 上安装 Google Authenticator
$ sudo yum install google-authenticator
在 CentOS 上安装 Google Authenticator ,需要首先启用 EPEL 软件库,然后运行如下命令:
$ sudo yum install google-authenticator
如果不想使用已经编译好的安装包,或者你的 Linux 发行版不在此列,可以自行编译:
#### 在 Linux 上 Google Authenticator ####
首先,安装构建 Google Authenticator 所需的软件包。
在 Debian、 Ubuntu 或 Linux Mint 上:
$ sudo apt-get install wget make gcc libpam0g-dev
在 CentOS、 Fedora 或 RHEL上
$ sudo yum install wget make gcc pam-devel
然后下载 Google Authenticator 的源代码,并按如下命令编译。
$ wget https://google-authenticator.googlecode.com/files/libpam-google-authenticator-1.0-source.tar.bz2
$ tar xvfvj libpam-google-authenticator-1.0-source.tar.bz2
$ cd libpam-google-authenticator-1.0
$ make
如果构建成功,你会在目录中看到 pam_google_authenticator.so 和 google-authenticator 两个文件。
最后,将 Google Authenticator 安装到合适位置
$ sudo make install
#### 排错 ####
当编译 Google Authenticator 时出现如下错误:
fatal error: security/pam_appl.h: No such file or directory
要修复这个问题,请安装如下依赖包。
在 Debian、 Ubuntu 或 Linux Mint 上:
$ sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev
在 CentOS、 Fedora 或 RHEL 上:
$ sudo yum install pam-devel
当Google认证器安装好后你需要在Linux主机上创建验证密钥并且在安卓设备上注册注意这项配置操作是一次性的。我们将详细叙述如何完成这些操作
### 生成验证密钥 ###
在Linux主机上运行Google认证器
$ google-authenticator
你将看到一个QR码它使用图形保存了我们数字形态的密钥。一会我们要用到它在安卓设备上完成配置。

![](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3848/14390010599_18dfc23d76_z.jpg)
Google认证器会问一些问题如果你不确定就回答"Yes"。这个应急备用验证码(图中 emergency scratch codes可以在你丢失被绑定的安卓设备的情况下恢复访问并且设备也不再生成一次性密码。所以最好将应急备用验证码妥善保存。

### 在安卓设备上运行Google认证器 ###
我们需要在安卓设备上安装[Google Authenticator app][6]才能完成双因子认证到Google Play下载并安装一个。在安卓设备上运行Google认证器找到下图所示中的配置菜单。
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5574/14554094476_bfc070d242_z.jpg)
你可以选择"Scan a barcode" 或者"Enter provided key"选项。"Scan a barcode"允许你扫描QR码来完成密钥的输入在此可能需要先安装扫描软件[Barcode Scanner app][7]。如果选择"Enter provided key"选项,你可以使用键盘输入验证密钥,如下图所示:
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5535/14596723603_d510dbe48d_z.jpg)
无论采用上述两种选项的任何方式,一旦成功,你将看到注册成功提示和一次性密码,如下图所示:
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5586/14390009579_5ba109bf5b_z.jpg)
### 为SSH服务器用Google认证器 ###
最终我们需要修改两个文件来完成集成Google认证器和OpenSSH服务这临门一脚。
首先修改PAM配置文件命令和需添加的内容如下

在Fedora:
在Fedora (或 CentOS/RHEL 7
$ sudo systemctl restart sshd
在CentOS 或 RHEL:
在CentOS 6.x或 RHEL 6.x上
$ sudo service sshd restart
### 验证双因子认证 ###
在绑定的安卓设备上运行Google认证器获得一个一次性验证码该验证码30秒内有效一旦过期将重新生成一个新的验证码。
![](https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2937/14389989618_d9355dcbb2_z.jpg)
现在和往常一样使用SSH登录终端
$ ssh user@ssh_server
当提示你输入验证码的时候输入我们刚获得的验证码。验证成功后再输入SSH的登录密码。
![](https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2938/14389952480_93351f12a4_z.jpg)
双因子认证通过在用户密码前新增一层来有效的保护我们脆弱的用户密码。你可以使用Google认证器来保护我们其他的密码如Google账户, WordPress.com, Dropbox.com, Outlook.com等等。是否使用这项技术取决于我们自己但采用双因子认证已经是行业的大趋势了。

在RHEL / CentOS / 5.x / 6.x上用密码保护单用户模式
================================================================================
大家好如果您还没有使用密码保护单用户模式这对你的Linux服务器会是一个很大的风险所以在涉及到安全性时使用密码保护单用户模式是非常重要的。
今天这篇文章我会向你展示如何在RHEL / CentOS 5.x 和 RHEL / CentOS 6.x上使用密码保护你的单用户模式。
请仔细地执行所给出的命令,不然你的系统将会无法正常启动。首先,我会请你先完整地读完,然后在尝试。请自己承担相应的后果:-)
![Password Protect](http://www.tejasbarot.com/wp-content/uploads//password-300x140.jpg)
<small>Password Protect</small>
### 1. 对于 RHEL / CentOS 5.x ###
#### 1.1 开始之前请先备份你的 /etc/inittab ####
cp /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.backup
**要使单用户模式受到密码保护用root执行下面的命令 :-**
[root@tejas-barot-linux ~]# sed -i '1i su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin' /etc/inittab
**这样你会看到像下面这样的**
su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:
*NOTE: 如果你不想使用sed命令你可以在/etc/inittab 顶部加入 “su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin”*
### 2. 对于 RHEL / CentOS 6.x ###
#### 2.1 开始之前请先备份你的 /etc/inittab####
cp /etc/sysconfig/init /etc/sysconfig/init.backup
#### 2.2 要使单用户模式受到密码保护用root执行下面的命令 :- ####
[root@tejas-barot-linux ~]# sed -i 's/SINGLE=\/sbin\/sushell/SINGLE=\/sbin\/sulogin/' /etc/sysconfig/init
**这样你会看到像下面这样的**
SINGLE=/sbin/sulogin
*注意 :- 如果你不想使用sed你可以在 /etc/sysconfig/init 中直接改成 “SINGLE=/sbin/sulogin”*
享受Linux :) 享受开源

KDE Plasma 5 —— 给尚未确定桌面环境的 Linux 用户指明道路
================================================================================
> 点评 ———— 新的KDE 5版本既满足了传统桌面环境的需求也兼顾了多设备长期支持计划
KDE 项目终于发布了备受瞩目的 KDE 桌面环境的最新主版本 ———— KDE Plasma 5。
Plasma 5 站在了一场正在进行的未来 Linux 桌面环境的争夺战中间。
一方面,有着 GNOME 和 Unity 这样的新生桌面代表。二者均通过某种重要方法打破了传统桌面模式的垄断,并且都不只是满足于桌面型计算机,而将其界面延伸到了备受期待的新型平板电脑([也许不久后就会面世][1])。
另一方面Linux 桌面环境,如 KDE、XFCE、LXDE、Mate 甚至 Cinnamon都是桌面环境的另一种类型 ———— 自发布以来没有什么大的变化,继续向用户提供传统的桌面环境体验,但这并不能表明这些项目没有成长和进步。这些发行版全部持续更新,并且根据成熟桌面应有的模式进行了不断的调整。
![Ubuntu 下的 Unity 桌面环境](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot-unity.png)
Ubuntu 下的 Unity 桌面环境
![GNOME 3 桌面环境](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot-gnome.png)
GNOME 3 桌面环境
GNOME 和 Unity 暂时在这场正在进行的争夺战中赢得了最大的优势。二者均新颖非凡,固执并极端。有的 Linux 用户对他们情有所钟,也有的 Linux 用户对他们恨之入骨。这使得在 Linux 世界里,没有哪条关于这两个桌面环境的评论或帖子是轻松活泼的。同时两大 Linux 阵营之间的差异不仅仅关乎于你未来桌面的样子,更决定了未来计算机会如何运作。
GNOME 和 Unity 相信未来的计算机运作方式,是由多台设备同时运行着相同的软件互相合作而成的 ———— 因此这两个项目发行的新版桌面只朝着这个方向努力。这些新版桌面并不是真正意义上作为未来桌面打造的,而是同时囊括了现在意义上的桌面,以及会出现在未来设备上的桌面的混合桌面。而另一派 Linux 桌面环境似乎完全忽视了这些。
与闭源操作系统的世界不同 ———— 那里所有变化都遗传了下来与之仿效还是以之为戒Linux 世界正在这两种对立的观点中徘徊着。
对用户群体来说,这也许很令他们沮丧。试想你正在努力完成工作,但此时你必须完成一个会彻底改变你现有桌面环境的更新,陌生的工作方式使你不得不花费时间来学习。即便最好的情况是,当你曾经最喜爱的桌面环境更新得面目全非的时候,你选择迁移到了其他桌面去。但你长久以来的使用习惯以及那种熟悉的感觉,却再也无法找回了。
幸运的是,有一个简单的方法去避免这种糟糕的情况并为你找到合适的桌面。简而言之:你想被桌面牵制,还是想控制桌面?
如果你是第一派阵营的,并且乐于学习新的工作方式,那么 Unity 和 GNOME 3 将会是你最好的选择。如果你是后一派阵营的XFCE、Cinnamon、Mate还有许多其他的桌面环境都将很好的满足你的需求。甚至如果你想尝试和 Unity 还有 GNOME 3 都不相同的新生桌面时,也有 Xmonad、Ratpoison 等其他非常小众的桌面环境供你选择。(说来惭愧,自从 Linus 说了“呃,嘿,这有个内核非常适合你的 GNU 操作系统”以来Xmonad 可能是 Linux 里最好的东西了。)
![KDE Plasma 5's new boot screen.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot01.png)
KDE Plasma 5 的启动界面
那么对于犹豫不决的 Linux 用户呢,让他们随便选一种吗?他们喜欢传统桌面环境的带来体验,但也不想因此放弃新生桌面的菜单、快捷方式还有任务栏,同时他们还担心着平板电脑等其他问题,想着是否会有某个桌面能在所有设备上工作。假如你正在这么想,那么我的朋友,你绝对有必要尝试下 KDE 的最新版 Plasma 5。
KDE 正在尝试做其他 Linux 桌面都没有做过的事 ———— 向平板电脑及移动设备桌面前进的同时,继续向用户提供传统的、多功能的、高度定制化的桌面体验。
### KDE Plasma 5 与“通用”世界 ###
经历过 KDE 3.5 升级至 KDE 4 的用户似乎仍然避免任何有关 KDE 的重要更新,但对 KDE 粉丝而言Plasma 5 还是带来了一些好消息。确实这是一个重要更新,没错,但这只是极少数情况下出现的例外(因此我得花费点时间来解释一下,因为你还不太了解)。
事实证明,难以置信且艰难万分的 KDE 4 更新确实为一个更加美好的未来打下了坚实的基础 ———— 我们现在刚刚抵达这美好的未来。
通过这次更新KDE 核心今后出现变化的可能性大大减小。我们确实提及了正迈向平板电脑以及其他设备的一步这令人难以置信但不要害怕。KDE 似乎准备去做 GNOME 和 Unity 无法做到的事 ———— 在不改变传统桌面模式的前提下,移植到其他设备上去。换言之,这一版本极力避免了所有因某些新技术的出现而随意尝试所导致的混乱结果。
(说点其他的:如果你没记住也没关系,但你认同 Canonical 继续通过 Unity 的更新来实现桌面通用这件事吗?早在 Canonical 让用户测试 GNOME 2 菜单中的阴影棕色以调配出最佳效果时KDE 就开始决定实施桌面统一计划了)
通过 KDE Frameworks 5、Qt5 还有其他一系列随同 Plasma 5 进行的更新,通用版本的 KDE 得以实现。KDE 将出现在任何需要它的地方。
因此当所有因素出现时KDE 项目及其开发者打造出了全新的界面 ———— KDE 称这种新框架为“通用等离子壳层”converged Plasma shell在 Plasma 5 中作为支撑桌面环境的框架基础 ———— Plasma 5 桌面截至目前是唯一的界面。KDE 计划打造出其他的界面,但针对 Plasma 5 的[官方声明][2]中提到“一个平板中心及用户体验媒体中心正在开发中”。
从这点来看KDE 的通用版本和和 Ubuntu 所预想的并不相同;用户界面将基于设备和硬件进行改变。例如,当你在长椅上浏览网页的时候,你也许有台平板电脑正在管理着进行中的工作。然后你起身,走回办公室,连接无线键盘,平板电脑又变成了拥有键盘的友好操作界面。
这种情况下有些潜在的问题,部分 Win 8 用户也许已经习以为常了。比方说,假如键盘正在进行输入,而你仍然想通过触屏进行交互,会发生些什么?试想你正在操纵鼠标,但你同时却想活动活动手指。
我们提及这些并不是说 KDE 没有考虑过这些问题(希望他们已经考虑过了),而是指这个“通用”所有设备用户界面的想法将很难做到完美。并且 KDE 一直在做一件事 ———— 暗示用户这项计划的成功是遥遥无期的。
假如 KDE 能运行在平板设备上,那么用户将获得可以订制任何细节部分的体验。简单来说,会有一种方法让你决定当系统检测到键盘时进行什么操作,而不是让系统自己决定。
### Plasma 5 桌面 ###
KDE Plasma 5 是由 KDE 4 演化来的,而不是任何一种意义上的界面革新。
![KDE Plasma 5 的桌面。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot02.png)
KDE Plasma 5 的桌面。
我们早就用这个版本了 ———— 早在不太稳定的测试期时就开始了,尽管大部分错误提示已图形化,而不仅仅是文字警告 ———— 截至目前已在虚拟机上运行了超过一个月的时间。我们已经在 Retina 屏的 MacBook Pro 上进行过了双重启动测试,并且验证了 KDE 在更旧的硬件,一台古老的东芝笔记本上,表现如何。测试 KDE Plasma 5 期间我们使用了 Kubuntu虚拟机和东芝笔记本以及新安装的 Arch LinuxMacBook 上的双重启动)。
如果你想试试 Plasma 5最简单的方法是下载[KDE 的官方 Neon live CD][3]。这样可以使你得到在 Ubuntu 上运行的 Plasma。如果你想在一个已经安装了 Kubuntu 的操作系统上安装测试,你可以使用以下命令:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neon/kf5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install project-neon5-session project-neon5-utils project-neon5-konsole project-neon5-breeze project-neon5-plasma-workspace-wallpapers
重启你的机器,你将会在登录界面下找到启动 Neon 的新启动项。
当你安装完 Plasma 5 并且启动时,首先你将会注意到的是叫做 Breeze 全新 KDE 默认主题。
### Plasma 5 的全新外观 Breezy ###
Breezy 主题是 KDE 所要呈现出的一种现代化界面,同时“减少了工作区的视觉混乱”。也就是说,很长时间以来一直作为 KDE 默认外观一部分的,那种给人以忙碌混乱的感觉已经成为了过去。
![KDE Plasma 5 的 Breeze 桌面主题最大程度上完善了开始菜单。每个标签下都有注释,方便搜索。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot03.png)
KDE Plasma 5 的 Breeze 桌面主题最大程度上完善了开始菜单。每个标签下都有注释,方便搜索。
全部界面发生了极大的变化 ———— 更大的字体,更好的对比度,以及一种全新的平面布局,其“磨砂”外观有点类似并且介于 OS X Yosemite、Android L 还有 KDE 4.x 的风格。这并不是说 KDE 抄袭了苹果或者谷歌。这不可能是抄袭,因为 Plasma 5 和 Breeze 主题发布了很长时间之后苹果核谷歌那里才透漏出些许 Yosemite 还有 Android L 的信息出来。
当然,说 KDE 抄袭了任何产品都是不对的,从 Breeze 的视觉设计和整体审美性来看,其更偏向于长时间沉淀的作品。从这种角度看,它看起来很“现代化”,只要你把现代化定义为较多的尖锐元素,较少的纹理和轮廓,更多的半透感,以及单色图形。
KDE 的设计者将大量的工作放在了 Breeze 主题还有其外观上。这不仅仅是外观上的变化。Breeze 主题借由清爽的菜单、更有条理的通知中心以及全新的开始菜单,使 KDE 变得更加友好。
![清爽、有条理的通知中心。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot04.png)
清爽、有条理的通知中心。
Breeze 出现了多少问题取决于你是否使用过它。KDE 更倾向于那些喜欢定制自己系统的用户,他们大概也喜欢定制主题。有件期待的事,有什么发行版会大幅修改默认 KDE 主题? ———— 显然是 OpenSUSE ———— 将会提供一个比 Breeze 所提供的更高的开始菜单栏。
目前而言,大多数发行版应该不会直接过渡到 Breeze 上去因为其仍处于测试阶段。而且巧合的是Breeze 将会是你注意到 Plasma 5 不完美的第一个标志。开始菜单上有许多很棒的新图标了,但其他界面上却没有。并且作为 Kubuntu PPA 可用的最新更新Breeze 并未使用新版的窗口装饰。新版窗口装饰是已经安装了的,但默认并未被使用。你可以去系统设置中打开该选项以获得更完整的,但也更有可能出 bug 的 Breeze 体验。
![图片上半部分是默认的 Oxygen 窗口装饰,下半部分是最新的 Breeze 主题中的窗口装饰。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot05.png)
图片上半部分是默认的 Oxygen 窗口装饰,下半部分是最新的 Breeze 主题中的窗口装饰。
并非所有都是理想的,有时很难分辨什么是 bug 或者什么地方是不完善的以及哪里的设计不够好。比如Breeze 下有很多窗口的时候会呈半透明覆盖状,其中一些看起来非常好看。但某些时候,这会成为一种妨碍。堆叠窗口与覆盖预览之后的是什么,在后台时很难看到这些。可以通过将之拉至前台来解决问题,但这样一来则很难评价透明的意义在哪里。
![透明... 意义何在?](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot06.png)
透明... 意义何在?
是的Breeze 主题仍然处于测试中,不仅仅是功能和设计;工作重点放在了真正 bug 还有缺陷上。同时我们还遇到了一些意料之外的情况,特别是关于屏幕刷新的问题。这些问题频繁发生,很长时间才引起我们的注意。窗口时常消失,并且有时菜单栏只显示一半。
Plasma 5 在我们的测试期间从未崩溃过,并且从未遗失任何数据。但注意 ———— 经常会有一些图像方面的小 bug 出现。我们建议你在稳定版发布前不要尝试进行更新。
### Plasma 的垂直菜单 ###
Breeze 给 Plasma 5 带来一种新外观,同时也带来了许多细节方面的变化。例如,窗口小部件和 ALT-TAB 窗口切换均呈现垂直显示,并且默认都具有相同的启动位置 ———— 当前屏幕的左侧。
![ALT-TAB 窗口切换的默认外观。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot07.png)
ALT-TAB 窗口切换的默认外观。
共通性也许对于 KDE 的新特点是有利的,当需要帮助时所需资料会出现在屏幕的左侧,但这也许会对那些期待点其他东西的老用户感到失望。有些变化看上去不太合情理。
![窗口小部件。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot08.png)
窗口小部件。
KDE 项目称在像窗口小部件和窗口切换器等菜单中,垂直菜单将取代水平菜单,“提供更好的使用体验”。但并未提及会具体如何。发行文档称挪动窗口切换器至屏幕一端“使用户的注意力更加集中于应用和文档,以完成手头上的工作”。可是当你启用了窗口切换器,嗯,准备切换窗口时,你的注意力更可能是在不同的任务间而不是集中在某一个任务上面。
![KDE 依旧偏向于提供不同选择。注意右侧的暗灰色选择条,那是拖动窗口时的阴影选项。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot09.png)
KDE 依旧偏向于提供不同选择。注意右侧的暗灰色选择条,那是拖动窗口时的阴影选项。
这就是 KDE当然不是 Unity高度可定制化是其一大特色而不是 bug。进入系统设置你可以调回旧版风格的窗口切换器并且在 Plasma 5 中有 10 种不同的窗口切换器效果可供选择。如果默认风格并不是你最喜欢的,那么换一个吧。
### 告别 Nepomuk 语义桌面的时间,感谢长久以来支持着我们的粉丝 ###
如果你是 KDE 重度用户,并且经历了 KDE 的顶峰和低谷,并仍抱有期待,那么你肯定已经知道了 Plasma 5 中的最大看点。没错KDE 替换了 Nepomuk 语义桌面,取而代之的是称作 Baloo 的新搜索引擎。
Nepomuk 语义桌面最初是一个由欧盟赞助的搜索项目,高调宣称其目的是创建一个“使用网络环境提供个性化服务的,基于本地的知识库管理(Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge)”。当项目被引用到 KDE 上的时候Nepomuk 成为了一个更加通用的桌面搜索工具,在辉煌与疯狂之间徘徊着。

Baloo 沿用了 Nepomuk 的大部分功能,全文字文件搜索和一种不可思议的文件衔接功能,比如,知晓与一个特定文件相关的其他文件并[予之改进][4]。实际上这使用于 Plasma 5 中的搜索功能,并且你可以在搜索栏的右边注意到两点:更快的速度以及每次索引更新时你的风扇并未发疯般狂转。
Baloo 大幅减少了搜索记录的资源,并且,根据 KDE 上的测试,其准确度更高了。我们不能保证后一点,因为我们从未在旧版 KDE 中使用大量搜索参见风扇运转注释但在计算精度上Plasma 5 中的简单文件搜索达到了你使用 Ubuntu、OS X 等其他文件搜索方式的平均速度。涉及更复杂的搜索关系或复杂元数据的成功将更大程度上取决于你使用默认 KDE 应用的频率。比方说,如果你想利用基于 Baloo 的搜索引擎的优势进行涉及文件间关联的搜索时,你需要使用 Kontact 套件。
尽管这肯能会随着时间而改变,因为与 Nepomuk 相比另一个比较大的变化是新的、改进的开发者 API。搜索 API 意味着第三方应用可以配合 Plasma 5 中的语义搜索基础,并发挥默认应用所使用的相同工具的优势。
奇怪的是,其他可见的和 Baloo 具有相同任务量的搜索工具,其可见度与发掘性已经落后一步了。点燃 Plasma 5 的开始菜单 ———— KDE 对窗口开始菜单的回应 ———— 并且无法找到搜索栏。如果你仔细寻找,你将会找到一个非常小的提醒样式的“点击以进行搜索”,这是初版以来的第一步改变(没有你可以进行搜索的指示)。然而,可以发现这并不是一个专门的搜索框。
### Kickoff 开始菜单与他的新表弟 Kicker ###
KDE 提交的关于窗口开始菜单的答案一直是过度包装的、狭小空间内拥挤的视觉外观,但在 Breeze 主题中开始菜单开始变得清爽,并更具有视觉观赏性。
![默认主题下的开始菜单。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot11.png)
默认主题下的开始菜单。
如果这样对你的需求来说还是有点多Plasma 5 提供了一个全新的、更加传统的菜单 ———— 称为 Kicker基于原启动器。Kicker 所需完成的任务更少 ———— 它更接近于 XP 中的开始菜单,在需要提供扩展菜单的地方提供一种单一的、狭窄的面板 ———— 并且在你如果只是想启动应用或打开文件时,提供一种更加轻量级的选择。它也有一个非常显眼的搜索框。
![另一个选择 ———— 全新的 Kicker 菜单。](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot12.png)
另一个选择 ———— 全新的 Kicker 菜单。
菜单的另一侧得到了更新,变得更加清爽。最显著的变化是通知中心,减少了弹出次数,并且通过更好、更迅速方式来显示通知。
### OpenGL、QtQuick 以及 HiDPI 显示 ###
Plasma 5 完成了 KDE 至 Qt 5 和 QtQuick 的迁移,后者使用硬件加速的 OpenGL 场景图进行图形渲染。OpenGL 的大部分更新都和任何可用的 GPU 图形卸载有关。这意味着如果你拥有被支持的硬件Plasma 5 将利用现今强劲的 GPU 充分发挥显卡优势。
事实上,在最新的硬件上(例如我们测试所用的 MacBook 的 NVIDIA GeForce GT 显卡Plasma 5 的反应速度很迅捷,远比其老版本要快。也许更令人印象深刻的是,即使把 Plasma 5 相比 KDE 4.x 在 GPU 上的优势去除,其反应速度仍然很快。也就是说,虽然在老旧硬件上运行仍然不是 KDE 的强项,但其表现与之前相比已有所改观。不过,如果你想在老旧硬件上得到更多支持,请务必使用 Xfce、LXDE 或者某些像 Openbox 那样简单的桌面环境吧。
有趣的是,弥补 Plasma 5 图形叠加的修改过后的框架也向 KDE 切换至 Wayland 显示服务协议提供了道路。尽管 KDE 并没有急着切换到 Wayland但注意全面支持技术将在“某个未来版本”实现。
这一版本也声称改进了对 HDPI 显示的支持。然而,结合 GNOME 和 Unity 对 HDPI 的支持,实际经验是忧喜参半的。特别是字体渲染远不及 OS X 所提供的渲染平滑。对我来说,即使安装 了 Infinality 并进行调整,也从来没有出现令我满意的结果。我们仍然不确定问题是否是在安装过程中出现的,并且我们也未亲眼见到 HDPI 的新功能。或许KDE 对于究竟是什么构成了 HDPI 支持有一个完全不同的定义。但愿问题是出在安装过程中。
### 有哪些缺陷 ###
在本文的前半部分,我们曾提到由 KDE 4 向 Plasma 5 的转变将不会像从 KDE 3 向 KDE 4 的转变那样艰难。对大多数人来说,这是真的,但是,对于某些人来说,也许会出现例外。
KDE 项目称这一版本的焦点已经“集中在了弥补核心工作流的工具上”,并表明“并不是所有 Plasma 4 系列中的功能都可以使用了”。这给那些经历了 KDE 3 向 KDE 4 转变的人敲响了警钟。
在测试期间我们并未遇到任何性能上的差距或者功能上的显著缺失除了提到Breeze 主题的不完善、某些图形故障,以及某些可疑的设计方面的问题。也就是说,请查阅[已知问题列表][5],特别是性能方面的警示。
同时我们在此建议在你完全迁移至 Plasma 5 之前请提前测试,以确保你所必需的都已具备。
### 结论 ###
KDE Plasma 5 版本缺乏使 Unity 和 GNOME 一跃成名的那种吸引人的代表性变化。与之相反KDE 项目致力于改善其核心桌面体验。从任何意义上讲 Plasma 5 都不是完美的,但与 Unity 和 GNOME 不同,你可以随意改变那些你所不喜欢的地方。
这一版本最激动人心的地方在于 KDE 已经在完全没有弄乱现有桌面的情况下,为交互界面做出了大量铺垫。另一个好消息是速度方面的改善。如果你此前曾经尝试过 KDE 并觉得它过于“庞大”,那么你应该重新审视以下 Plasma 5 了。

“林纳斯·托瓦兹是我的英雄”13岁的扎卡里杜邦说
================================================================================
Zachary DuPon是一名6年级的学生他马上年满13岁。他过去是Arch liunx的用户并期待着尽快安装Gentoo Linux。
Zachary DuPon的故事是这样的-他的学校组织了一个活动要求学生们给他们的英雄写一封信大多数孩子写给社会名流而Zachary DuPon写给了现代科技世界的“真”英雄-林纳斯·托瓦兹。
由于林纳斯在家工作他没有透露自己的办公地点Zach的信送到了Linux基金会工作人员会在发送给林纳斯之前浏览全部的信件内容。当基金会看到了这封信他们联系了扎克的学校慷慨地邀请他做客LinuxCon这样他就能见到他的英雄本人。
linux的执行董事长Jim Zemlin在主题小组讨论过后引领Zach来到人群中。Zach见到了林纳斯并得到了linux之父签名的《linux圣经》他也得到了林纳斯签名自传[《只为了好玩:一次偶然的革命》][1]

本文作者 Swapnil Bhartiya和扎克里杜邦
我不想失去这个机会所以他们和林纳斯交谈一结束我就走向这个家庭安排了这次视频采访。我是一个两岁孩子的父亲而作为一名父亲我着实对Zach自信、清晰明确的思想所感到惊讶。
我提供给你这次视屏采访的细节
- 他使用Arch linux。
- 他打算一旦他擅长编程就做出自己的贡献。
- 他没有提交任何漏洞报告,并且他认为他应该这样做。他也表示他没有发现任何漏洞。
- 他对WINE没太大的兴趣。
- 他喜欢KDE的原始桌面但是它在他的网关机器上工作不是很好。
- 他是一个装有XFCE桌面环境的Debian GNU/linux用户。
林纳斯也许是扎克的英雄但是扎克是整个GNU/linux和自由软件社区的英雄他不断地提醒我们未来尽在我们掌握中。

Ubuntu文本检索神器——SearchMonkey
================================================================================
有时候,我们需要搜索包含有某些特定文本或单词的文件。如果你是个开发者或者程序员,经常会碰到这样的问题。现在,我们总是能够使用[Linux命令来查找包含有指定文本的所有文件][1],但不是每个人都热衷于命令行。我见过那些优秀的程序员,他们更多的是依赖于图形化工具,而不是命令行。
如果你也更喜欢图形化工具,那么[SearchMonkey][2]对于你而言是个十分完美的应用。
### SearchMonkey是你的桌面搜索引擎 ###
SearchMonkey递归搜索目录因此你可以在它工作的时候坐下放松一下。用户可以使用强大的正则表达式来搜索文件名和内容这使得SearchMonky返回结果时更为精确。
此外SearchMonkey不仅仅给你列出可能包含有你正在查找的内容的文件它也高亮显示匹配的内容。
### 在Ubuntu 14.04中安装SearchMonkey ###
SearchMonkey可以在Ubuntu 14.04的软件仓库中找到你只需要通过Ubuntu软件中心或者通过以下命令来安装
sudo apt-get install searchmonkey
安装完毕后你可以从Unity Dash中启动SearchMonkey。界面简明直观易于使用。
![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/SearchMonkey_Ubuntu.jpeg)
SearchMonkey帮助你快速查找到你所需要的文件不需要先构建一个驱动映射。每次搜索都是实时的结果也会在找到后立即在上下文中显示它还是一个免费又开源的软件。

systemd 与 sysVinit 彩版对照表
================================================================================
**systemd** 是一种新型init系统「译者注每个操作系统都有一个启动程序而Linux init是Linux系统操作中不可缺少的程序之一。所谓的init进程它是一个由内核启动的用户级进程。内核自行启动已经被载入内存开始运行并已初始化所有的设备驱动程序和数据结构等之后就通过启动一个用户级程序init的方式完成引导进程。所以init始终是第一个进程其进程编号始终为1最早在Fedora中使用「译者注真的吗不是Arch经过调整适应了其它许多发行版例如RedHat、Suse和CentOS。
历史上我们大部分人用过传统的SysV init 初始化脚本,它通常情况下在/etc/rc.d/init.d/文件夹下。这些脚本调用守护进程二进制代码在后台fork一个进程。
尽管shell脚本非常的灵活但是很难实现像superviseing监管进程和并行执行命令这样的任务。
通过对systemd的新式守护进程的介绍我们发现systemd可以在runtime运行时更加简单的监管和控制守护进程并且简化了监控的实现方式implementation
**systemctl**命令是systemd团队一个非常好的首创。
这个命令能够显示更多的详细错误信息和包括启动错误在内的服务运行时错误。systemd引入了一个新术语**cgroups**控制组它基本上是可被分层次安排的进程任务组。「译者注这里简单介绍一下cgroupcontrol group称为ContainersContainers着眼于资源的分配利用configfs作配置。它有两个重要概念第一是subsystem内核可以给进程提供的服务/资源第二是container一个进程组成员共享同样的一个或多个子系统分配限制。Containers是分层次的一个container可以hold多个container。它的可取之处是创建了一个资源分配的框架其它开发者可以利用这个框架去开发自己的资源分配patch比如磁盘设备。」
如果仅仅通过原来的初始化系统,决定哪个进程是做什么的、属于哪个用户的变得越来越困难。
但是通过systemd当一个进程派生其它进程时这些子进程会被自动变成父进程控制组的成员这样一来就可以避免继承的混乱。

有许多新的运行[在 rhel / centos 7.0 上的 systemd 命令][1]可以替代 sysvinit 的对应命令。你也可以下载 [本文的 PDF 版本][2]。

正如你已经知道的Pandora是最有名的在线电台服务之一它包含无数的不同种类的免费音乐流同时它还有一个强大的音乐推荐引擎。Pandora可以通过不同的方式访问浏览器桌面客户端或者手机Apps开源社区还给出了另一种访问Pandora音乐服务的方法Linux命令行。
[pianobar][2]是一个播放Pandora在线电台音乐的开源命令行音乐播放器。它有一个简单的终端接口用于播放和管理音乐电台。同时还有其他包括歌曲评价即将上线音乐列表播放历史自定义快捷键绑定远程控制等功能。对于那些居住在不可访问Pandora音乐服务区域的用户即美国、澳大利亚和新西兰以外的用户Pianobar还配置了代理服务的支持。
###在Linux中安装Pianobar###
在Debian或者其他Debian的衍生品中如Ubuntu或LinuxMintPianobar是一个已经编译好的软件包因此安装Pianobar只是简单的输入如下命令
$ sudo apt-get install pianobar
在Fedora中Pianobar并不包含在基础的软件库中。因此你需要通过源代码编译安装Pianobar。整个安装过程会有点麻烦但是下面的教程将会实现Pianobar在Frdora系统中编译安装。该教程在Fedora20版本中测试通过。
首先,根据[FFmpeg安装教程][3]编译并安装FFmpeg。
然后,[启用RPM Fusion源][4],并安装其他依赖软件:
$ sudo yum install wget gcc-c++ pkgconfig gnutls-devel json-c-devel libgcrypt-devel make libao-devel faad2-devel libmad-devel libao faad2-libs
编译并安装Pianobar
$ wget http://6xq.net/projects/pianobar/pianobar-2014.06.08.tar.bz2
$ tar xvfvj pianobar-2014.06.08.tar.bz2
$ cd pianobar-2014.06.08
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH make
$ sudo make install
最后允许Paniobar加载安装在/usr/local/lib目录下的FFmpeg共享库在/etc/ld.so.conf配置文件中添加下面一行
>/usr/local/lib
重载所有的共享库
就这样Pianobar已经在Fedora系统中安装完成。
###在命令行中收听Pandora音乐###
paniobar的基本用法是输入如下命令
> $ pianobar
该命令将会要求你登录到Pandora并从你的个性化电台列表中选择要收听的电台。在你选择电台后音乐就开始自动播放。
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5552/14993320301_58e58b5810_z.jpg)
按键pianobar会列出一系列可用个命令其中一些如下
>- s: 更换电台
- u: 查看即将上线音乐列表
- h: 查看播放历史
- n: 播放下一首
- b: 收藏歌曲或艺术家
- ( 或者 ): 减少或增加播放音量
- S: 暂停播放
- P: 恢复播放
- V为当前收听的歌曲或者艺术家创建一个电台
- +或者-:查看上一首或者下一首歌曲
- a添加音乐到电台
- q退出pianobar
![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5559/14993326991_ccdffd0fa6_z.jpg)
###将Pianobar配置为自动安装###
你可以在一个单独的配置文件中配置Pianobar的各项默认配置。例如你可以将你的登录信息放到配置文件中这样你就不用每次都要手动输入。下面是如何创建一个配置文件的示例
> $ mkdir -p ~/.config/pianobar
----------
> $ vi ~/.config/pianobar/config
----------
> # Example pianobar configuration file
>
> # Pandora login info
user = your@email_address
password = plaintext_password
>
> # Users who cannot access Pandora in their region can set a proxy.
control_proxy = http://user:password@host:port/
>
> # Initial volume in dB: between -30 and +5
volume = 0
>
> # Audio quality: high, medium or low
audio_quality = high
如需了解完整的配置选项请参阅其man手册页。
$ man pianobar
###远程控制Pianobar###
Pianobar的另一个优秀特性是支持远程控制你可以通过命令管道FIFO为Pianobar的一个运行实例发送命令。下面是远程控制Pianobar的示例
首先在目录~/.config/pianobar下创建一个FIFO命令管道
> $ mkfifo ~/.config/pianobar/ctl
然后运行Pianobar
现在你可以通过使用echo命令发送任何的单字符命令键到Pianobar中例如播放下一首歌曲
> $ echo -n 'n' > ~/.config/pianobar/ctl
你可以很容易的将此配置扩展到远程计算机中当Pianobar在主机X上运行你可以从远程主机Y中通过SSH控制Pianobar,如下所示:
在主机Y中运行
> $ ssh user@host_X "echo -n 'n' > ~/.config/pianobar/ctl"
当然你希望为登录到主机X的SSH登录认证[启用秘钥认证][5]这样你就不用每次都输入SSH密码。
当你想在[树莓Pi][6]上设置一个可以远程控制的在线电台播放器时Pianobar的远程控制特性将会让你非常方便地实现该需求。
希望你和我一样喜欢Pianobar若有什么想法请在评论中告诉我。

================================================================================
![LibreOffice selection menu](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/LibreOffice-4-3-1-Has-More-Than-100-Fixes-and-DOCX-Embedded-Objects-Support-456916-2.jpg)
LibreOffice selection menu
**The Document Foundation announces that the stable version of LibreOffice 4.3.1 has been released and is now available for download.**
The developers from The Document Foundation have released a new update for the 4.3 branch of LibreOffice and they have implemented quite a few fixes and other various changes. The development cycle for this latest update has been rather short and the devs managed to repair most of the issues that have been found.
LibreOffice 4.3.1 is just maintenance release, which means that the focus has been about the bugs found so far. Don't expect to find anything extraordinary, but you should upgrade the software nonetheless.
"The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 4.3.1, the first minor release of LibreOffice 4.3 'fresh' family, with over 100 fixes (including patches for two CVEs, backported to LibreOffice 4.2.6-secfix, which is also available for download now)."
"All LibreOffice users are invited to update their installation as soon as possible to avoid security issues. This includes users who are running LibreOffice 4.2.6 as originally released on August, 5th 2014. LibreOffice 4.3.1 and LibreOffice 4.2.6 will be shown on stage at the LibreOffice Conference in Bern, from September 3 to September 5, with a large number of sessions about development, community, marketing and migrations," reads the announcement made by The Linux Foundation.
According to the changelog, editing the text search with expanded fields is now working properly, the static value array for OOXML chart is now handled correctly, bullets now have the color as the following text by default, ww8import no longer creates a pagedesc if a continuous section changes margins, the 0 font height is now handled just like outdev, it's now possible to import OLE objects in the header with background wrapping, the XLSX export of revisions has been fixed in order to get it to work in Excel, and borders around data labels are now supported.
Also, the table style for lastRow is now correctly applied, the rulers now have app-background by default, the graphics are now swapped in on DrawingML::WriteImage, the redundant 'Preferences' label has been removed in order to save some space, page breaks in tables are now ignored during the RTF import, some of the style hierarchy has been reworked, Data Statistics no longer crashes with any entry, DOCX embedded objects are now supported, and numerous other improvements have been made.
More details about this release can be found in the official [announcement][1].

Ubuntu Touch Now Has a Torrent Client in the Ubuntu Store
================================================================================
![DowNow](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Ubuntu-Touch-Now-Has-a-Torrent-Clinent-in-the-Ubuntu-Store-457538-2.jpg)
**The Ubuntu Touch platform is already the host of many interesting applications, and it looks like the developers have started to implement software that goes beyond what you might expect, like a torrent client for example.**
The app store for Ubuntu Touch has been growing steadily over the past few months and interesting applications are added all the time. Most of them are covering some of the basic needs of the operating system, but there are quite a few that go well beyond regular users needs.
A torrent client is not something that you will find on most phones. Android and Windows Phone already have this kind of apps and it looks like Ubuntu is now one of those platforms. Ubuntu developer [Alan Pope][1] posted a screenshot with a new application that's being developed for the Ubuntu platforms called DowNow.
This is a relatively new application and it's still under development. You can find the click package for DowNow 0.3 in Launchpad, if you want to take a closer look, or you can download from Ubuntu Software Center.
For now, the only supported devices are Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, if you want to test Ubuntu for phones, but that might change in the coming months.

Jelly Conky Adds Simple, Stylish Stats To Your Linux Desktop
================================================================================
**I treat Conky setups a bit like wallpapers: Ill find one I love, only to change it the next week because Im bored of it and want a change.**
Part of the impatience is fuelled by the ever-growing catalog of designs available. One of my most recent favourites is Jelly Conky.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/jelly-conky.png)
Jelly Conky sports the minimal design many of the Conkys weve highlighted recently have followed. Its not trying to be a kitchen sink. It wont win favour with those who need constant at-a-glance data on their HDD temperatures and IP addresses.
It comes with three distinct modes that can all add personality to an otherwise static background image:
- Clock
- Clock plus date
- Clock plus date and weather
Some people dont understand the point of having a duplicate clock on show on the desktop. Thats understandable. For me, its more about form than function (though, personally, I find Conky clocks easier to see than the minuscule digits nestled in my upper panel).
Chances are if you have a home screen widget on Android with the time, you wont mind having one on your desktop, either!
You can download Jelly Conky from the link below. The .zip archive contains a readme with instructions on how to install. For a guided walkthrough, [revisit one of our previous articles][1].

慕尼黑市议会称: LiMux 项目的死讯被过分夸大了
================================================================================
![LiMux 慕尼黑市议会的官方操作系统](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/limux-4-kde-desktop.jpg)
LiMux - 慕尼黑市议会的官方操作系统
慕尼黑市议会的新闻发言人试图澄清其[计划重新审视当地政府 IT 系统使用的所有开源软件][1]的背后原因。
大量德国媒体披露,“慕尼黑市新任市长要求提交一份关于 LiMux 使用率的报告”LiMux是一个在该市超过 80% 的市政府部门中使用的开源 Linux 发行版 ,慕尼黑市议会新闻发言人正是针对这条新闻所做的反应。
该报告引用了一位不愿透露姓名的市政府官员的话,他声称政府雇员在使用开源软件时“非常痛苦”,还有人人称其为“昂贵的失败”。副市长 Josef Schmid 说,(更换到开源系统)这件事是“意识形态驱使的”,并非理性的财务行为。
过去被看成是大规模迁移 Linux 的典范的慕尼黑市,如今这个背道而驰的新闻迅速像病毒一样扩散开来。现在市议会的新闻发言人 Stefan Hauf 正试着澄清这件事。
### “未来计划” ###
Hauf 确认了新任市长要求重新审查城市 IT 系统以及操作系统选择的事,但这份报告的目的并不像之前报道中暗示的那样仅仅是为了决定什么时候退回到 Microsoft Windows。
**“这是有关机构、经费、性能和可用性以及用户满意度的事,”** [Techrepublic][2] 引用了他的言辞。
**“(这仅仅是在收集)现实情况,为我们决定市议会今后该如何处理提供依据。”**
Hauf 同时也确认了市议会员工的确抱怨过 LiMux但是主要集中在 OpenOffice 的兼容性问题上,有些问题只要换到 LibreOffice 就能解决。
那么,慕尼黑市会用回 Windows 吗?正如我们在之前的报道中所说:不能排除这种可能,但是现在下结论还太早。
目前该报告所建议的截止日期还没定,任何和慕尼黑 IT 基础设施相关的决定都需要由他们自己投票决定,主流选民目前抱有“支持” LiMux 的态度。

KDE Plasma 5—For those Linux users undecided on the kernels future
================================================================================
> Review—new release straddles traditional desktop needs, long term multi-device plans.
Finally, the KDE project has released KDE Plasma 5, a major new version of the venerable K Desktop Environment.
Plasma 5 arrives in the middle of an ongoing debate about the future of the Linux desktop. On one hand there are the brand new desktop paradigms represented by GNOME and Unity. Both break from the traditional desktop model in significant ways, and both attempt to create interfaces that will work on the desktop and the much-anticipated, tablet-based future (which [may or may not ever arrive][1]).
Linux desktops like KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Mate, and even Cinnamon are the other side of the fence. None has re-invented itself too much. They continue to offer users a traditional desktop experience, which is not to say these projects aren't growing and refining. All of them continue to turn out incremental releases that fine tune what is a well-proven desktop model.
![Ubuntu's Unity desktop](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot-unity.png)
Ubuntu's Unity desktop
![GNOME 3 desktop](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot-gnome.png)
GNOME 3 desktop
GNOME and Unity end up getting the lion's share of attention in this ongoing debate. They're both new and different. They're both opinionated and polarizing. For every Linux user that loves them, there's another that loves to hate them. It makes for, if nothing else, lively comments and forum posts in the Linux world. But the difference between these two Linux camps is about more than just how your desktop looks and behaves. It's about what the future of computing looks like.
GNOME and Unity believe that the future of computing consists of multiple devices all running the same software—the new desktop these two create only makes sense within this vision. These new versions aren't really built as desktops for the future, but they include a hybrid desktop fallback mode for now and appear to believe in devices going forward. The other side of the Linux schism largely seems to ignore those.
And unlike the world of closed source OSes—where changes are handed down, like them or leave them—the Linux world is in the middle of a conversation about these two opposite ideas.
For users, it can be frustrating. The last thing you need when you're trying to get work done is an update that completely changes your desktop, forcing you to learn new ways of working. Even the best case scenario, moving to another desktop when your old favorite suddenly veers off in a new direction, usually means jettisoning years of muscle memory and familiarity.
Luckily, there's a simple way to navigate this mess and find the right desktop for you. Here it is in a nutshell: do you want to bend your will to your desktop or do you want to bend your desktop to your will?
If you fall in the first camp and don't mind learning new ways of working, Unity and GNOME 3 will be your best bets. If you fall in the latter camp, XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate, and a host of others will all likely prove a good fit. And even if you want to go non-traditional in a different direction from GNOME 3 and Unity, there's always Xmonad, Ratpoison, and others that very few Linux users will ever try. (This is a small shame, as Xmonad may be the best thing in Linux since Linus said, uh, hey, here's a kernel for your GNU system.)
![KDE Plasma 5's new boot screen.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot01.png)
KDE Plasma 5's new boot screen.
So what about the undecided Linux users, all those people in the middle? You like the traditional desktop experience, and you're not ready to give up your menu and shortcuts for HUDs and other new tools. But at the same time, you're curious about tablets and other form factors, and you want something that will work across them all. You, my hypothetical friend, are an excellent candidate for the brand new KDE Plasma 5.
KDE is attempting to do something no other desktop in Linux has tried to date—move toward the tablet and mobile device future while still producing a desktop experience that's familiar, functional, and infinitely customizable.
### KDE Plasma 5 and the world of "convergence" ###
KDE users who made it through the transition from KDE 3.5 to 4 likely still flinch at the mention of a major upgrade to any part of KDE, but there's good news for KDE fans in Plasma 5. This is a major update, yes, but it comes with a handful of exceptions (which I'll get into in a minute because you'd never know it).
It turns out that the incredibly bumpy move to KDE 4 really did lay the groundwork for a better future—we are now in that future.
With this update, KDE is laying future groundwork in a less disruptive way. We're referring to an inevitable move to tablets and other form factors, but fear not. KDE seems poised to do what GNOME and Unity could not—branch out to other form factors without abandoning the traditional desktop. In other words, this release resisted the urge to mess with the tried and true just because something new is on the horizon.
(As a quick aside: You'd be forgiven for not remembering this, but the whole convergence thing that Canonical goes on about with each new Unity update? KDE started using the word "convergence" way back when Canonical was still running user tests to determine the optimal shade of brown for GNOME 2 menus.)
With KDE Frameworks 5, Qt5, and some other updates to the plumbing that come along with Plasma 5, KDE's version of convergence is here. It's simply under the hood where it belongs.
So while the components are there to allow the KDE project and its developers to build different interfaces—KDE calls these new frameworks the "converged Plasma shell," which is what loads up the desktop in Plasma 5—the Plasma 5 desktop is, thus far, the only interface. KDE plans to build out others, but the [official release announcement][2] for Plasma 5 says that "a tablet-centric and media center user experience are under development."
In this sense, KDE's vision of convergence is not unlike what Ubuntu envisions; the user interface will change based on the device and hardware. For example, you might have the "tablet-centric" interface that's in the works running while you're reading the Web on the couch. But get up, walk back to your office, connect to your wireless keyboard, and the interface shifts to something more keyboard-friendly.
This scenario has some potential problems, some of which Windows 8 users are likely already familiar with. For example, what will happen when a keyboard is plugged in, but you still want to interact with the screen via touch? What happens if you plug in a mouse, but you still want to scroll with your fingers?
We mention these small points not to say that KDE hasn't thought them through (here's hoping they have), but because this idea of "convergence" of adaptive user interfaces will be very difficult to get right. And one thing KDE has long had that gives users hope for the project's success is limitless configurability.
The hope for KDE on a tablet is that any user would be able to configure every last detail of the experience. Simply put, there would be a way for you to determine what you want to happen when a keyboard is detected rather than letting the OS determine it.
### The Plasma 5 desktop ###
KDE Plasma 5 is KDE 4 evolved rather than any kind of revolutionary new interface.
![The KDE Plasma 5 desktop.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot02.png)
The KDE Plasma 5 desktop.
We've been using this release—still not completely stable during testing, though most of the glitches have been graphical, not data threatening—for over a month now in virtual machines. We've been dual booting on a Retina MacBook Pro and, to see how well it holds up on older hardware, an aging, underpowered Toshiba laptop. KDE Plasma 5 was tested using Kubuntu (virtual machine and the Toshiba) and atop a fresh install of Arch Linux (dual boot MacBook).
If you'd like to try out Plasma 5, the simplest way is to grab the [Neon live CD available from KDE][3]. That will get you Plasma with Ubuntu under the hood. If you want to commit and test it on an existing Kubuntu install, here are the commands for that:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neon/kf5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install project-neon5-session project-neon5-utils project-neon5-konsole project-neon5-breeze project-neon5-plasma-workspace-wallpapers
Restart your machine and you should see a new option at the login screen offering to start up a Neon session.
Once you have Plasma 5 up and running, the first thing you'll notice is the new default KDE theme, known as Breeze.
### Plasma 5's Breezy new look ###
Breeze is what KDE refers to as a modernized interface, with "reduced visual clutter throughout the workspace." Sure enough, the busy, somewhat cluttered feel that has long been a part of the default KDE look is gone.
![The KDE Plasma 5 desktop's Breeze theme is most complete in the Kickoff menu. Note the type to search message.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot03.png)
The KDE Plasma 5 desktop's Breeze theme is most complete in the Kickoff menu. Note the type to search message.
The entire interface has been flattened out, with bigger fonts, better contrast, and a sort of flat, "frosted" look that's somewhere between OS X Yosemite, Android L, and KDE 4.x. That's not to say KDE ripped off Apple or Google. They couldn't have, since Plasma 5 and the Breeze theme were well on their way before Apple revealed Yosemite or Google announced Android L.
Still, while it would be incorrect to say KDE has ripped anyone off, Breeze's visual design and overall aesthetic are very much a product of its time. In that sense it looks "modern," so long as you define modern to mean lots of strong type, few textures or outlines, lots of translucency, and monochrome iconography.
KDE's designers have put a lot of work into Breeze and it shows. This isn't just a new coat of paint. Breeze makes KDE more approachable out of the box with cleaned up menus, a less cluttered notification center, and a revamped Kickoff start menu.
![A cleaner, less nagging notification center.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot04.png)
A cleaner, less nagging notification center.
How much Breeze matters depends on whether or not you'll ever even use it. KDE tends to attract users that like customizing their systems, which, presumably, includes customizing the theme. One thing to look forward to is what distros that heavily customize the default KDE theme—notably OpenSUSE—will do now that Breeze provides a somewhat higher starting bar.
Currently, most distros will likely not jump on Breeze, since it is very much a work in progress. And coincidently, Breeze is where you'll notice some of the first signs of incompleteness in Plasma 5. While the Kickoff menu has some nice new icons, much of the rest of the interface does not. And as of the latest updates available in the Kubuntu ppa, Breeze does not use its new Window Decorations. The Window Decorations are installed, but they aren't turned on by default. You can head to the System Settings app and turn them on for a more complete, though possibly buggier, Breeze experience.
![Top is the default Oxygen Window Decorations, bottom the new Breeze theme.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot05.png)
Top is the default Oxygen Window Decorations, bottom the new Breeze theme.
Not everything is ideal, and sometimes it's hard to tell what's a bug or incomplete feature and what is just poorly designed. For example, there's quite a bit of window and overlay translucency in Breeze, some of which looks nice. At other times, this gets in the way. Stacked windows and preview overlays bleed into what's behind them and become hard to read in the background. Pulling them to the foreground solves the problem, but it's hard to say what the value of the transparency is in this case.
![Transparency... why?](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot06.png)
Transparency... why?
So yes, Breeze is still a work in progress, and not just in terms of features and design; things are still being worked out in terms of genuine bugs and glitches. We have encountered some unexpected behavior accordingly, particularly with regard to screen redraws. Those happen frequently and slow enough to notice. Windows disappear at times, and the menu bar occasionally only draws half of itself.
Plasma 5 has never crashed during our testing, nor has it lost any data. But be warned—little visual glitches abound. We would suggest waiting for things to stabilize and for the distro of your choice to integrate it before jumping in with both feet.
### Plasma menus go vertical ###
Breeze gives Plasma 5 a new look, but there are also a number of changes in behavior. For example, both the widget explorer and the alt-tab window switcher are now vertically oriented and located in the same place by default—the far left side of the screen.
![The default look for the alt-tab switcher menu.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot07.png)
The default look for the alt-tab switcher menu.
While that consistency is probably good for KDE newcomers, who need to learn to expect that various stuff will appear to the left of the screen, it can be a little frustrating for long-time users anticipating something else. Some of these changes seem somewhat arbitrary.
![The widget explorer menu.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot08.png)
The widget explorer menu.
The KDE project claims the shift to vertical instead of horizontal lists, in things like the widget explorer and window switcher, "provide better usability." It stops short of saying how exactly. The release docs claim that moving the window switcher to the side of the screen "shifts the user's focus towards the applications and documents, clearing the stage for the task at hand." But if you only call up the window switcher when you're, ahem, switching windows, then it seems more likely that the user is between tasks rather than involved in one.
![KDE still loves offering options. Notice the dark gray bar to the right that's an artifact (glitch) from dragging the window.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot09.png)
KDE still loves offering options. Notice the dark gray bar to the right that's an artifact (glitch) from dragging the window.
This is KDE, though, not Unity; infinite customization is a feature, not a bug. A trip to the System Settings will get your old style window switcher back, and there are some 10 different visual possibilities for the window switcher in Plasma 5. If the default is not to your liking, customize away.
### So long Nepomuk, thanks for all the spinning fans ###
If you're a heavy user of KDE's sometimes awesome, sometimes not, search features, this may be the biggest news in Plasma 5. It's true, KDE has ditched Nepomuk in favor of a new search engine known as Baloo.
Nepomuk started life as an EU-funded metadata search project, with the lofty-sounding goal of creating a "Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge." By the time it trickled down to the KDE project, Nepomuk became a somewhat more mundane desktop search tool that alternated between brilliant and maddening.
![Searching for files in Plasma 5.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot10.png)
Searching for files in Plasma 5.
Baloo takes much of what made Nepomuk great—namely, full text file search and an uncanny ability to pick up on relationships between files, for example, knowing that particular document is related to a contact—and [improves it][4]. Actually use the search features in Plasma 5 and you'll notice two things right off the bat: it's faster and your fan doesn't go haywire every time something new is indexed.
Baloo significantly reduces the resource footprint of searching and, according to KDE, is more accurate. We can't vouch for the latter, since we never used search much in older versions of KDE (see fan spinning comments), but in terms of accuracy, simple file searches in Plasma 5 are on par with what you'll find in Ubuntu, OS X, and elsewhere. The success of more complex searches involving relationships or complex metadata will vary depending on how much you use the default KDE apps. For example, you need to use the Kontact Suite if you want to take advantage of Baloo-based searches involving relationships between contacts and files.
That will likely change as time goes on, though, because another big change from Nepomuk is the new, improved developer API. The API for searching means third-party apps can tie in Plasma 5's Semantic Search infrastructure and take advantage of the same tools the default apps use.
Curiously, for something that has seen as much work as Baloo has, the visibility and discoverability of the search feature has taken a step backward. Fire up Plasma 5's Kickoff menu—KDE's answer to the Windows Start menu—and search is nowhere to be found. If you look closely, you'll see a tiny little reminder to "type to search," which is a step up from the first release (which had no indication that you could search). Still, this isn't as discoverable as a dedicated search box.
### Kickoff and its new cousin, Kicker ###
KDE's answer to the Windows Start button has always been overkill in these eyes, packing too much in too little space, but with Breeze the menu has been cleaned up a bit and feels less visually overwhelming.
![The Kickoff menu in the default theme.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot11.png)
The Kickoff menu in the default theme.
If it's still a bit too much for your needs, Plasma 5 offers a new, more traditional menu-based launcher called Kicker. Kicker does less—it's much closer to the Start menu in XP, a single, narrower pane that offers expanding menus where needed—and makes a lightweight alternative if all you want to do is launch applications and files. It also has a very obvious search box.
![The new Kicker menu option.](http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/screenshot12.png)
The new Kicker menu option.
The other side of the menu bar has been revamped and cleaned up a bit as well. The most notable change is the notification app, which seems to kick up fewer notifications and does a better job of displaying them and quickly getting them out of the way.
### OpenGL, QtQuick, and HiDPI Screens ###
Plasma 5 finishes up KDE's migration to Qt 5 and QtQuick, the latter of which uses a hardware-accelerated OpenGL scenegraph to render graphics. Most of what's new with OpenGL pertains to offloading graphics to any available GPU. That means, provided you've got the hardware for it, Plasma 5 can take full advantage of today's powerful GPUs.
Indeed, on newish hardware (our test MacBook's NVIDIA GeForce GT graphics card, for example) Plasma 5 is snappy, considerably snappier than its predecessor. Perhaps even more impressive, take away whatever GPU advantage Plasma 5 might gain over KDE 4.x systems, and it still feels faster. That is, running on older hardware still isn't KDE's strong point, but the story is better than it used to be. Still, if you're looking to get some extra mileage out of older hardware, stick with Xfce, LXDE or something even simpler like Openbox.
Interestingly, the revamped Frameworks that make up Plasma 5's graphics stack also pave the way for KDE to switch to the Wayland display server protocol. KDE doesn't seem to be in a hurry to make the switch to Wayland though, noting only that full support will be available in "a future release."
This release also claims improved support for HDPI displays. But, as with the HDPI support in GNOME and Unity, the actual experience is a very mixed bag. Font rendering in particular is nowhere near as smooth as what OS X offers. Even installing and fiddling with Infinality has never produced satisfactory results for me. We're still not sure if the problem is in setup, and we're not in fact seeing the new HDPI features. Or, possibly the KDE project just has a very different definition of what constitutes HDPI support. Hopefully it's the former.
### What's missing ###
Earlier in this review, we said that the transition from KDE 4 to the Plasma 5 desktop would not be as bumpy as the move from KDE 3.x to 4.x. For the most part, that's true, but, for some people, there may be exceptions.
The KDE project says the focus for this release has been "concentrated on tools that make up the central workflows" and notes that "not all features from the Plasma 4.x series are available yet." That might ring a bell for those who made it through the KDE 3 to 4 transition.
In testing, we didn't run across any noticeable gaps in functionality or obvious missing features, save what was mentioned: the incomplete Breeze theme, some graphical glitches, and some questionable design choices. That said, have a look at the [list of known issues][5], in particular the note about performance.
And we suggest trying Plasma 5 first to make sure all your must-haves are there before you jump in with both feet.
### Conclusion ###
KDE's Plasma 5 release lacks the attention-grabbing, paradigm-shifting changes that keep Unity and GNOME in the spotlight. Instead, the KDE project has been focused on improving its core desktop experience. Plasma 5 is not perfect by any means, but, unlike Unity and GNOME, it's easy to change the things you don't like.
What's perhaps most heartening about this release is that KDE has managed to get a lot of the groundwork done for alternate interfaces without messing with their desktop interface much at all. The speed improvements are also good news. If you've tried KDE in the past and found it too "heavy," you might want to give Plasma 5 a fresh look.

China Will Change The Way All Software Is Bought And Sold
================================================================================
![](http://a5.files.readwrite.com/image/upload/c_fill,h_900,q_70,w_1600/MTE5NDg0MDYyMzQ4MzE0MTI3.jpg)
> It's all about open source.
**China doesn't need you. Not your software. Not your** programmers. Not anything you have to offer.
China mints over 100,000 new software engineers each year. Those engineers are writing an incredible volume of great software. What software China doesn't develop, it pirates, to the tune of 77% of all software used in China as of 2012. For Western technology vendors already struggling to meet the challenges of open source and cloud, China just made things harder.
Much harder.
China is challenging the way Western firms make money in China and everywhere else. For those companies that manage to figure out how to do business in China, their future looks very, very bright.
### Resisting China ###
Not everyone wants to play along, of course. Microsoft, for example, has opted to [use U.S. state attorneys general to block Chinese firms][1] from doing business in their states unless they pay for their Microsoft licenses. It's clever, and it may generate billions of dollars for Microsoft, but it ultimately feels like Microsoft is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
China, quite simply, doesn't think about IP in the same way that Microsoft does.
As [I've noted][2], "like their Indian counterparts, Chinese enterprises seem inclined to pay for complex, proprietary enterprise software that's more advanced than domestic firms have yet developed." But this won't last, as China's software industry is in warp speed and showing no signs of slowing. China pirates until it can build its own.
But even then, it charges for software differently than in the U.S. Software is either delivered in appliances, the cloud or firms simply charge for support. None of these things can be pirated.
And each, not surprisingly, is how companies make money with open source.
### Open Sourcing China ###
As captured in [J. Aaron Farr's report][3] on open source in China, Hu Ke, an analyst for CCID, notes that "China's open source communities are relatively small and don't have much influence. There is a lack of big projects, few participants, and little money."
That's the bad news.
The good news is that companies like Huawei view open source as a strategic priority. For example, while [Huawei's open source page][4] is outdated and weak, it belies what's actually going on in the technology behemoth. In conversations with the company and with consultants engaged with it, they cite a great deal of knowledge about open source within Huawei, though still a decided lack of know-how when it comes to engaging with open-source communities.
That isn't likely to last.
For one thing, Chinese biggest Web companies actively embrace open source, a sign of what's to come. Talk to anyone at Baidu, Alibaba, Weibo and you'll discover that their software stacks are open source, top to bottom, running on homegrown hardware, not Western name brands.
In other words, exactly like in the United States and Western Europe.
Take a look at [what software the industry's hottest startups use today][5] and you'll get a good sense of what China's mainstream enterprises will use tomorrow, just as is happening in the Western world. And, not surprisingly, much of it is open source.
### Selling To China ###
All of which means the future of China's software industry will necessarily look nothing like the history of the U.S. software industry. There won't be companies making billions of dollars selling proprietary shelfware. Intellectual property, in the Western sense, simply won't factor into China's tech economy.
Instead, vendors will need to find a way to sell something other than software. Cloud services will succeed. Hardware appliances will, too. Ditto support and consulting services (though at lower margins). Basically, China's software industry will look like an industry filled with open source and no easy, proprietary crutches.

Happy Birthday Email
================================================================================
**An Indian American had the brain to invent electronic mail without which we cannot figure out a single day in this era.**
![](http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/h/www.efytimes.com/admin/useradmin/photo/150x150xDbOx104130AM8312014.jpg.pagespeed.ic.QJJxt_P8uE.jpg)
30 August, email turned 32. Now we wonder how this fast and quick method of message transfer came into existence. The credit goes to an Indian American, Shiva Ayyadurai. Shiva developed a full-scale software of the interoffice mail system and it was named email.
He was officially acknowledged as the inventor of the computer programme on 30 August, 1982, by the US government. Born to Tamil family in Bombay, Shiva was just 14 years old when he invented the email system. He was studying at Livingston High School in New Jersey and he began working on this system for the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. A copyright was given to the email system as no other way was known to protect software inventions at that time.
Ayyadurai got the idea of the email system from the way mail was transported internally in offices. He tried to make a copy of Pneumatic Tube System which was mostly used to send interoffice mails across offices. This system used a physical network of tubes which used to transport typed mails to secretaries. Each secretary used to have inbox, outbox, drafts, carbon copy paper, folders, address book, paper clips or attachments etc. All these were used to create and process incoming and outgoing mails.
Shiva also took a note of the common templates like “To”, “From”, “Subject”, “Date”, “Body”, “CC”, “BCC” and so on. All these templates were incorporated in the version of the electronic mail too. Mail was written FORTRAN programming language and Shiva discovered an electronic version of the same. Shiva received many accolades for his extraordinary work and also won a Westinghouse Science Talent Search Award for high school seniors in 1981. Now Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History (SINMAH) has the official US copyright for “Email”. But there is a controversy that not Ayyadurai but some other people have invented email.

The awesomely epic guide to KDE
================================================================================
**Everything you ever wanted to know about KDE (but were too afraid of the number of possible solutions to ask).**
Desktops on Linux. Theyre a concept completely alien to users of other operating systems because they never having to think about them. Desktops must feel like the abstract idea of time to the Amondawa tribe, a thought that doesnt have any use until youre in a different environment. But here it is on Linux you dont have to use the graphical environment lurking beneath your mouse cursor. You can change it for something completely different. If you dont like windows, switch to xmonad. If you like full-screen apps, try Gnome. And if youre after the most powerful and configurable point-and-click desktop, theres KDE.
KDE is wonderful, as they all are in their own way. But in our opinion, KDE in particular suffers from poor default configuration and a rather allusive learning curve. This is doubly frustrating, firstly because it has been quietly growing more brilliant over the last couple of years, and secondly, because KDE should be the first choice for users unhappy with their old desktop in particular, Windows 8 users pining for an interface that makes sense.
But fear not. Were going to use a decades worth of KDE firefighting to bring you the definitive guide to making KDE look good and function slightly more like how you might expect it to. Were not going to look at KDEs applications, other than perhaps Dolphin; were instead going to look at the functionality in the desktop environment itself. And while our guinea pig distribution is going to be Mageia, this guide will be equally applicable to any recent KDE desktop running from almost any distribution, so dont let the default Mageia background put you off.
### Fonts ###
A great first target for getting your system looking good is its selection of fonts. It used to be the case that many of us would routinely copy fonts across from a Windows installation, getting the professional Ariel and Helvetica font rendering that was missing from Linux at the time. But thanks to generic quality fonts such as DejaVu and Nimbus Sans/Roman, this isnt a problem any more. But its still worth finding a font you prefer, as there are now so many great alternatives to choose between.
The best source of free fonts weve found is [www.fontsquirrel.com][1] it hosts the Roboto, Roboto Slab (Hello!) and Roboto Condensed (Hello!) typefaces used throughout our magazine, and also on the Nexus 5 smartphone (Roboto was developed for use in the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the Android mobile operating system).
TrueType fonts, with their **.ttf** file extensions, are incredibly easy to install from KDE. Download the zip file, right-click and select something from the Extract menu. Now all you need to do is drag a selection across the TrueType fonts you want to install and select Install from the right-click Actions menu. KDE will take care of the rest.
Another brilliant thing about KDE is that you can change all the fonts at once. Open the System Settings panel and click on Application Appearances, followed by the fonts tab, and click on Adjust All Fonts. Now just select a font from the requester. Most KDE applications will update with your choice immediately, while other applications, such as Firefox, will require a restart. Either way, its a quick and effective way of experimenting with your desktops usability and appearance. Wed recommend either Open Sans or the thinner Aller fonts.
![Most distributions dont include decent fonts. But KDE enables you to quickly install new ones and apply them to your desktop.](http://www.linuxvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/kde-4.png)
Most distributions dont include decent fonts. But KDE enables you to quickly install new ones and apply them to your desktop.
### Eye candy ###
One of KDEs most secret features is that backgrounds can be dynamic. We dont find much use for this when it comes to the desktops that tells us the weather outside the window, but we do like backgrounds that dynamically grab images from the internet. With most distributions youll need to install something for this to work. Just search for **plasma-wallpaper** in your distributions package manager. Our favourite is **plasma-wallpaper-potd**, as this installs easy access to update-able wallpaper images from a variety of sources.
Changing a desktop background is easy with KDE, but its not intuitive. Mageia, for example, defaults to using Folder view, as this is closer to the traditional desktop where files from the Desktop folder in your home directory are displayed on the background, and the whole desktop works like a file manager. Right-click and select Folder Settings if this is the view youre using. Alternatively, KDE defaults to Desktop, where the background is clear apart from any widgets you add yourself, and files and folders are considered links to the sources. The menu item in this mode is labelled Desktop Settings. The View Configuration panel that changes the background is the same, however, and you need to make your changes in the Wallpaper drop-down menu. Wed recommend Picture Of The Day as the wallpaper, and the Astronomy Picture Of The Day as the image source.
Another default option we think is crazy is the blue glow that surrounds the active window. While every other desktop uses a slightly deeper drop-shadow, KDEs active window looks like its bathed in radioactive light. The solution to this lies in the default theme, and this can be changed by going to KDEs System Settings control panel and selecting Workspace Appearance. On the first page, which is labelled Window Decorations, youll find that Oxygen is nearly always selected, and its this theme that contains the option to change the blue glow. Just click on the Configure Decoration button, flip to the Shadows tab and disable Active Window Glow. Alternatively, if youd like active windows to have a more pronounced shadow, change the inner and outer colours to black.
You may have seen the option to download wallpapers, for example, from within a KDE window, and you can see this now by clicking on the Get New Decorations button. Themes are subjective, but our favourite combination is currently the Chrome window decoration (it looks identical to Googles default theme for its browser) with the Aya desktop theme. The term desktop theme is a bit of a misnomer, as it doesnt encapsulate every setting as you might expect. Instead it controls how generic desktop elements are rendered. The most visible of these elements is the launch panel, and changing the desktop theme will usually have a dramatic effect on its appearance, but youll also notice a difference in the widgets system.
The final graphical flourish wed suggest is to change the icon set that KDE uses. Theres nothing wrong with the default Oxygen set, but there are better options. Unfortunately, this is where the Get New Themes download option often fails, probably because icon packages are large and can overwhelm the personal storage space often reserved for projects like these. Wed suggest going to [kde-look.org][2] and browsing its icon collections. Open up the Icons panel from KDEs System Settings, click on the Icons tab followed by Install Theme File and point the requester at the location of the archive you just downloaded. KDE will take it from there and add the icon set to the list in the panel. Try Kotenza for a flat theme, or keep an eye on Nitrux development.
![Remove the blue glow and change a few of the display options, and KDE starts to look pretty good in our opinion.](http://www.linuxvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/kde-5.png)
Remove the blue glow and change a few of the display options, and KDE starts to look pretty good in our opinion.
### The panel ###
Our next target is going to be the panel at the bottom of the screen. This has become a little dated, especially if youre using KDE on a large or high-resolution display, so our first suggestion is to re-scale and centre it for your screen. The key to moving screen components in KDE is making sure theyre unlocked, and this accomplished by right-clicking on the plasma cashew in the top-right of the display where the current activity is listed. Only when widgets are unlocked can you re-size the panel, and even add new applications from the launch menu.
With widgets unlocked, click on the cashew on the side of the panel followed by More Settings and select Centre for panel alignment. With this enabled you can re-size the panel using the sliders on either side and the panel itself will always stay in the middle of your screen. Just pretend youre working on indentation on a word processor and youll get the idea. You can also change its height when the sliders are visible by dragging the central height widget, and to the left of this, you can drag the panel to a different edge on your screen. The top edge works quite well, but many of KDEs applets dont work well when stacked vertically on the left or right edges of the display.
There are two different kinds of task manager applets that come with KDE. The default displays each running application as a title bar in the panel, but this takes up quite a bit of space. The alternative task manager displays only the icon of the application, which we think is much more useful. Mageia defaults to the icon version, but most others and KDE itself prefer the title bar applet. To change this, click on the cashew again and hover over the old applet so that the X appears, then click on this X to remove the applet from the panel. Now click on Add Widgets, find the two task managers and drag the icon version on to your panel. You can re-arrange any other applets in this mode by dragging them to the left and right.
By default, the Icon-Only task manager will only display icons for tasks running on the current desktop, which we think is counterintuitive, as its more convenient to see all of the applications you may have running and to quickly switch between whatever desktops on which they may be running with a simple click. To change this behaviour, right-click on the applet and select the Settings menu option and the Behaviour tab in the next window. Deselect Only Show Tasks From The Current Desktop, and perhaps Only Show Tasks From The Current Activity if you use KDEs activities.
Another alteration we like to make is to reconfigure the virtual desktops applet from showing four desktops as a 2×2, which doesnt look too good on a small panel, to 4×1. This can be done by right-clicking on the applet, selecting Pager Settings and then clicking on the Virtual Desktops tabs and changing the number of rows to 1.
Finally, theres the launch menu. Mageia has switched this from the new style of application launcher to the old style originally seen in Microsoft Windows. We prefer the former because of its search field, but the two can be switched by right-clicking the icon and selecting the Switch To… menu option.
If you find the hover-select action of this mode annoying, where moving the mouse over one of the categories automatically selects it, you can disable it by right-clicking on the launcher, selecting Launcher Settings from the menu and disabling Switch Tabs On Hover from the General settings page. Its worth reiterating that many of these menu options are only available when widgets are unlocked, so dont despair if you dont see the correct menu entry at first.
> ### Activities ###
>
> No article on KDE would be complete without some discussion of what KDE calls Activities. In many ways, Activities are a solution waiting for a problem. Theyre meta-virtual desktops that allow you to group desktop configuration and applications together. You may have an activity for photo editing, for example, or one for working and another for the internet. If youve got a touchscreen laptop, activities could be used to switch between an Android-style app launcher (the Search and Launch mode from the Desktop Settings panel), and the regular desktop mode. We use a single activity as a default for screenshots, for instance, while another activity switches everything to the file manager desktop mode. But the truth is that you have to understand what they are before you can find a way of using them.
>
> Some installations of KDE will include the Activity applet in the toolbar. Its red, blue and green dots can be clicked on to open the activity manager, or you can click on the Plasma cashew in the top-right and select Activities. This will open the bar at the bottom of the screen, which lists activities installed and primed on your system. Clicking on any will switch between them; as will pressing the meta key (usually the Windows key) and Tab.
>
> Wed suggest that finding a fast way to switch between activities, such as with a keyboard shortcut or with the Activity Bar widget is the key to using them more. With the Activity Manager open, clicking on Create Activity lets you either clone the current desktop, add a blank desktop or create a new activity from a list of templates. Clone works well if you want to add some default applications to the desktop for your current setup. To remove an activity, switch to another one and press the Stop and Delete buttons from the Activity Manager.
### Upgraded launch menu ###
You may want to look into replacing the default launch menu entirely. If you open the Add Widgets view, for instance, and search for menus, youll see several results. Our current favourite is called Application Launcher (QML). It provides the same kind of functionality as the default menu, but has a cleaner interface after youve enlarged the initial window. But if were being honest, we dont use the launcher that much. We prefer to do most launching through KRunner, which is the seemingly simple requester that appears when you hold Alt+F2.
KRunner is better than the default launcher, because you can type this shortcut from anywhere, regardless of which applications are running or where your mouse is located. When you start to type the name of the application you want to run into KRunner, youll see the results filtered in real time beneath the entry field press Enter to launch the top choice.
KRunner is capable of so much more. You can type in calculations like **=sin(90)**, for example, and see the result in real time. You can search Google with **gg**: or Wikipedia with **wp**: followed by the search terms, and add many other operations through installable modules. To make best use of this awesome KDE feature, make sure youve got the **plasma-addons** package installed, and search for **runner** on your distributions package manager. When you next launch KRunner and click on the tool icon to the left of the search bar, youll see a wide variety of plugins that can do all kinds of things with the text you type in. In classic KDE style, many dont include instructions on how to use them, so heres our breakdown of the most useful things you can do with KRunner:

### File management ###
File management may not be the most exciting subject in Linux, but it is one we all seem to spend a lot of time doing, whether thats moving a download into a better folder, or copying photos from a camera. The old file manager, Konqueror, was one of the best reasons for using KDE in the first place, and while Konqueror has been superseded by Dolphin in KDE 4.x, its still knocking around even if it is labelled a web browser.
If you open Konqueror and enter the URL as **file:/**, it turns back into that file manager of old, with many of its best features intact. You can click on the lower status bar, for example, and split the view vertically or horizontally, into other views. You can fill the view with proportionally sized blocks by selecting Preview File Size View from the right-click menu, and preview many other file types without ever leaving Konqueror.
Mageia uses a double-click for most options, whereas we prefer a single click. This can be changed from the System-Settings panel by opening Input Devices, clicking on Mouse and enabling Single-click To Open Files And Folders. If youve become used to Apples reverse scroll, youll also find an option here to reverse the scroll direction on Linux.
Konqueror is a great application, but it hasnt been a focus of KDE development for a considerable period of time. Dolphin has replaced it, and while this is a much simplified file manager, it does inherit some of Konquerors best features. You can still split the view, for instance, albeit one only once, and only horizontally, from the toolbar. You can also view lots of metadata. Select the Details View and right-click on the column headings for the files, and you can add columns that list the word counts in text files, or an images size and orientation, or the artist, title and duration of an audio file, all from within the contents of the data. This is KDEs semantic desktop in action, and its been growing in functionality for the last couple of years. Apples OS X, for example, has only just started pushing its ability to tag files and applications weve been able to do this from KDE for a long time. We dont know any other desktop that comes close to providing that level of control.
### Window management ###
KDE has a comprehensive set of windowing functions as well as graphical effects. Theyre all part of the window manager, KWin, rather than the desktop, which is what weve been dealing with so far. Its the window managers job to handle the positioning, moving and rendering of your windows, which is why they can be replaced without switching the whole desktop. You might want to try KWin on the RazorQt desktop, for example, to get the best of both the minimal environment RazorQt offers and the power of KDEs window manager.
The easiest way to get to KWins configuration settings is to right-click on the title bar of any window (this is usually the most visible element of any window manager), and select Window Manager Settings from the More Actions menu.
The Task Switcher is the tool that appears when you press Alt+Tab, and continually pressing those two keys will switch between all running applications on the current desktop. You can also use cursor keys to move left and right through the list. These settings are mostly sensibly configured, but you may want to include All Other Desktops in the Filter Windows By section, as that will allow you to quickly switch to applications running on other desktops. We also like the Cover Switch visualisation rather than the Thumbnails view, and you can even configure the perceived distance of the windows by clicking on the toolbar icon.
The next page on the window manager control module handles what happens at the edges of your screen. At the very least, we prefer to enable Switch Desktop On Edge by selecting Only When Moving Windows from the drop-down list. This means that when you drag a window to one edge, the virtual desktop will switch beneath, effectively dragging the window on to a new virtual desktop.
The great thing about enabling this only for dragged windows is that it doesnt interfere with KDEs fantastic window snapping feature. When you drag a window close to the left or right edge, for instance, KDE displays a ghosted window where your window will snap to if you release the mouse. This is a great way of turning KDE into a tiling window manager, where you can easily have two windows split down the middle of the screen area. Moving a window into any of the corners will also give you the ability to neatly arrange your windows to occupy a quarter of the screen, which is ideal for large displays.
We also enable a mode similar to Mission Control on OS X when the cursor is in the region of the top-left corner of the screen. On the screen edge layout, click on the dot in the top-right of the screen (or any other point youd prefer) and select Desktop Grid from the drop-down menu that appears. Now when you move to the top-right of your display, youll get an overview of all your virtual desktops, any of which can be chosen with a click.
Two pages down in the configuration module, theres a page called Focus. This is an old idea where you can change whether a window becomes active when you click on it, or when you roll your mouse cursor over it. KDE adds another twist to this by providing a slider that progresses from click to a strict hover policy, where the window under the cursor always becomes active. We prefer to use one of the middle options Focus Follows Mouse as this chooses the most obvious window to activate for us without making too many mistakes, and it means we seldom click to focus. We also reduce the focus delay to 200ms, but this will depend on how you feel about the feature after using it for a while.
KDE has so many features, many of which only come to light when you start to use the desktop. It really is a case of developers often adding things and then telling no one. But we feel KDE is worth the effort, and unlikely some other desktops, is unlikely to change too much in the transition from 4.x to 5. That means the time you spend learning how to use KDE now is an investment. Dive in!.

Making MySQL Better at GitHub
================================================================================
> At GitHub we say, "it's not fully shipped until it's fast." We've talked before about some of the ways we keep our [frontend experience speedy][1], but that's only part of the story. Our MySQL database infrastructure dramatically affects the performance of GitHub.com. Here's a look at how our infrastructure team seamlessly conducted a major MySQL improvement last August and made GitHub even faster.
### The mission ###
Last year we moved the bulk of GitHub.com's infrastructure into a new datacenter with world-class hardware and networking. Since MySQL forms the foundation of our backend systems, we expected database performance to benefit tremendously from an improved setup. But creating a brand-new cluster with brand-new hardware in a new datacenter is no small task, so we had to plan and test carefully to ensure a smooth transition.
### Preparation ###
A major infrastructure change like this requires measurement and metrics gathering every step of the way. After installing base operating systems on our new machines, it was time to test out our new setup with various configurations. To get a realistic test workload, we used tcpdump to extract SELECT queries from the old cluster that was serving production and replayed them onto the new cluster.
MySQL tuning is very workload specific, and well-known configuration settings like innodb_buffer_pool_size often make the most difference in MySQL's performance. But on a major change like this, we wanted to make sure we covered everything, so we took a look at settings like innodb_thread_concurrency, innodb_io_capacity, and innodb_buffer_pool_instances, among others.
We were careful to only make one test configuration change at a time, and to run tests for at least 12 hours. We looked for query response time changes, stalls in queries per second, and signs of reduced concurrency. We observed the output of SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS, particularly the SEMAPHORES section, which provides information on work load contention.
Once we were relatively comfortable with configuration settings, we started migrating one of our largest tables onto an isolated cluster. This served as an early test of the process, gave us more space in the buffer pools of our core cluster and provided greater flexibility for failover and storage. This initial migration introduced an interesting application challenge, as we had to make sure we could maintain multiple connections and direct queries to the correct cluster.
In addition to all our raw hardware improvements, we also made process and topology improvements: we added delayed replicas, faster and more frequent backups, and more read replica capacity. These were all built out and ready for go-live day.
### Making a list; checking it twice ###
With millions of people using GitHub.com on a daily basis, we did not want to take any chances with the actual switchover. We came up with a thorough [checklist][2] before the transition:
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1155781/4116929/13fc6f50-328b-11e4-837b-922aad3055a8.png)
We also planned a maintenance window and [announced it on our blog][3] to give our users plenty of notice.
### Migration day ###
At 5am Pacific Time on a Saturday, the migration team assembled online in chat and the process began:
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1155781/4060850/39f52cd4-2df3-11e4-9aca-1f54a4870d24.png)
We put the site in maintenance mode, made an announcement on Twitter, and set out to work through the list above:
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1155781/4060864/54ff6bac-2df3-11e4-95da-b059c0ec668f.png)
**13 minutes** later, we were able to confirm operations of the new cluster:
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1155781/4060870/6a4c0060-2df3-11e4-8dab-654562fe628d.png)
Then we flipped GitHub.com out of maintenance mode, and let the world know that we were in the clear.
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1155781/4060878/79b9884c-2df3-11e4-98ed-d11818c8915a.png)
Lots of up front testing and preparation meant that we kept the work we needed on go-live day to a minimum.
### Measuring the final results ###
In the weeks following the migration, we closely monitored performance and response times on GitHub.com. We found that our cluster migration cut the average GitHub.com page load time by half and the 99th percentile by *two-thirds*:
![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1155781/4060886/9106e54e-2df3-11e4-8fda-a4c64c229ba1.png)
### What we learned ###
#### Functional partitioning ####
During this process we decided that moving larger tables that mostly store historic data to separate cluster was a good way to free up disk and buffer pool space. This allowed us to leave more resources for our "hot" data, splitting some connection logic to enable the application to query multiple clusters. This proved to be a big win for us and we are working to reuse this pattern.
#### Always be testing ####
You can never do too much acceptance and regression testing for your application. Replicating data from the old cluster to the new cluster while running acceptance tests and replaying queries were invaluable for tracing out issues and preventing surprises during the migration.
#### The power of collaboration ####
Large changes to infrastructure like this mean a lot of people need to be involved, so pull requests functioned as our primary point of coordination as a team. We had people all over the world jumping in to help.
Deploy day team map:
<iframe width="620" height="420" frameborder="0" src="https://render.githubusercontent.com/view/geojson?url=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/5fa29a7ccbd0101630da/raw/map.geojson"></iframe>
This created a workflow where we could open a pull request to try out changes, get real-time feedback, and see commits that fixed regressions or errors -- all without phone calls or face-to-face meetings. When everything has a URL that can provide context, it's easy to involve a diverse range of people and make it simple for them give feedback.
### One year later.. ###
A full year later, we are happy to call this migration a success — MySQL performance and reliability continue to meet our expectations. And as an added bonus, the new cluster enabled us to make further improvements towards greater availability and query response times. I'll be writing more about those improvements here soon.

Anyone can join Anonymous simply by claiming affiliation. An anthropologist says that participants “remain subordinate to a focus on the epic win—and, especially, the lulz.”

----------
In the mid-nineteen-seventies, when Christopher Doyon was a child in rural Maine, he spent hours chatting with strangers on CB radio. His handle was Big Red, for his hair. Transmitters lined the walls of his bedroom, and he persuaded his father to attach two directional antennas to the roof of their house. CB radio was associated primarily with truck drivers, but Doyon and others used it to form the sort of virtual community that later appeared on the Internet, with self-selected nicknames, inside jokes, and an earnest desire to effect change.
Doyons mother died when he was a child, and he and his younger sister were reared by their father, who they both say was physically abusive. Doyon found solace, and a sense of purpose, in the CB-radio community. He and his friends took turns monitoring the local emergency channel. One friends father bought a bubble light and affixed it to the roof of his car; when the boys heard a distress call from a stranded motorist, hed drive them to the side of the highway. There wasnt much they could do beyond offering to call 911, but the adventure made them feel heroic.
Small and wiry, with a thick New England accent, Doyon was fascinated by “Star Trek” and Isaac Asimov novels. When he saw an ad in Popular Mechanics for a build-your-own personal-computer kit, he asked his grandmother to buy it for him, and he spent months figuring out how to put it together and hook it up to the Internet. Compared with the sparsely populated CB airwaves, online chat rooms were a revelation. “I just click a button, hit this guys name, and Im talking to him,” Doyon recalled recently. “It was just breathtaking.”
At the age of fourteen, he ran away from home, and two years later he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, a hub of the emerging computer counterculture. The Tech Model Railroad Club, which had been founded thirty-four years earlier by train hobbyists at M.I.T., had evolved into “hackers”—the first group to popularize the term. Richard Stallman, a computer scientist who worked in M.I.T.s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the time, says that these early hackers were more likely to pass around copies of “Gödel, Escher, Bach” than to incite technological warfare. “We didnt have tenets,” Stallman said. “It wasnt a movement. It was just a thing that people did to impress each other.” Some of their “hacks” were fun (coding video games); others were functional (improving computer-processing speeds); and some were pranks that took place in the real world (placing mock street signs near campus). Michael Patton, who helped run the T.M.R.C. in the seventies, told me that the original hackers had unwritten rules and that the first one was “Do no damage.”
In Cambridge, Doyon supported himself through odd jobs and panhandling, preferring the freedom of sleeping on park benches to the monotony of a regular job. In 1985, he and a half-dozen other activists formed an electronic “militia.” Echoing the Animal Liberation Front, they called themselves the Peoples Liberation Front. They adopted aliases: the founder, a towering middle-aged man who claimed to be a military veteran, called himself Commander Adama; Doyon went by Commander X. Inspired by the Merry Pranksters, they sold LSD at Grateful Dead shows and used some of the cash to outfit an old school bus with bullhorns, cameras, and battery chargers. They also rented a basement apartment in Cambridge, where Doyon occasionally slept.
Doyon was drawn to computers, but he was not an expert coder. In a series of conversations over the past year, he told me that he saw himself as an activist, in the radical tradition of Abbie Hoffman and Eldridge Cleaver; technology was merely his medium of dissent. In the eighties, students at Harvard and M.I.T. held rallies urging their schools to divest from South Africa. To help the protesters communicate over a secure channel, the P.L.F. built radio kits: mobile FM transmitters, retractable antennas, and microphones, all stuffed inside backpacks. Willard Johnson, an activist and a political scientist at M.I.T., said that hackers were not a transformative presence at rallies. “Most of our work was still done using a bullhorn,” he said.
In 1992, at a Grateful Dead concert in Indiana, Doyon sold three hundred hits of acid to an undercover narcotics agent. He was sentenced to twelve years in Pendleton Correctional Facility, of which he served five. While there, he developed an interest in religion and philosophy and took classes from Ball State University.
Netscape Navigator, the first commercial Web browser, was released in 1994, while Doyon was incarcerated. When he returned to Cambridge, the P.L.F. was still active, and their tools had a much wider reach. The change, Doyon recalls, “was gigantic—it was the difference between sending up smoke signals and being able to telegraph someone.” Hackers defaced an Indian military Web site with the words “Save Kashmir.” In Serbia, hackers took down an Albanian site. Stefan Wray, an early online activist, defended such tactics at an “anti-Columbus Day” rally in New York. “We see this as a form of electronic civil disobedience,” he told the crowd.
In 1999, the Recording Industry Association of America sued Napster, the file-sharing service, for copyright infringement. As a result, Napster was shut down in 2001. Doyon and other hackers disabled the R.I.A.A. site for a weekend, using a Distributed Denial of Service, or DDoS, attack, which floods a site with so much data that it slows down or crashes. Doyon defended his actions, employing the heightened rhetoric of other “hacktivists.” “We quickly came to understand that the battle to defend Napster was symbolic of the battle to preserve a free internet,” he later wrote.
One day in 2008, Doyon and Commander Adama met at the P.L.F.s basement apartment in Cambridge. Adama showed Doyon the Web site of the Epilepsy Foundation, on which a link, instead of leading to a discussion forum, triggered a series of flashing colored lights. Some epileptics are sensitive to strobes; out of sheer malice, someone was trying to induce seizures in innocent people. There had been at least one victim already.
Doyon was incensed. He asked Adama who would do such a thing.
“Ever hear of a group called Anonymous?” Adama said.
----------
In 2003, Christopher Poole, a fifteen-year-old insomniac from New York City, launched 4chan, a discussion board where fans of anime could post photographs and snarky comments. The focus quickly widened to include many of the Internets earliest memes: LOLcats, Chocolate Rain, RickRolls. Users who did not enter a screen name were given the default handle Anonymous.
![](http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/140908_a18505-600.jpg)
“I need to talk about my inner life.”
Poole hoped that anonymity would keep things irreverent. “We have no intention of partaking in intelligent discussions concerning foreign affairs,” he wrote on the site. One of the highest values within the 4chan community was the pursuit of “lulz,” a term derived from the acronym LOL. Lulz were often achieved by sharing puerile jokes or images, many of them pornographic or scatological. The most shocking of these were posted on a part of the site labelled /b/, whose users called themselves /b/tards. Doyon was aware of 4chan, but considered its users “a bunch of stupid little pranksters.” Around 2004, some people on /b/ started referring to “Anonymous” as an independent entity.
It was a new kind of hacker collective. “Its not a group,” Mikko Hypponen, a leading computer-security researcher, told me—rather, it could be thought of as a shape-shifting subculture. Barrett Brown, a Texas journalist and a well-known champion of Anonymous, has described it as “a series of relationships.” There was no membership fee or initiation. Anyone who wanted to be a part of Anonymous—an Anon—could simply claim allegiance.
Despite 4chans focus on trivial topics, many Anons considered themselves crusaders for justice. They launched vigilante campaigns that were purposeful, if sometimes misguided. More than once, they posed as underage girls in order to entrap pedophiles, whose personal information they sent to the police. Other Anons were apolitical and sowed chaos for the lulz. One of them posted images on /b/ of what looked like pipe bombs; another threatened to blow up several football stadiums and was arrested by the F.B.I. In 2007, a local news affiliate in Los Angeles called Anonymous “an Internet hate machine.”
In January, 2008, Gawker Media posted a video in which Tom Cruise enthusiastically touted the benefits of Scientology. The video was copyright-protected, and the Church of Scientology sent a cease-and-desist letter to Gawker, asking that the video be removed. Anonymous viewed the churchs demands as attempts at censorship. “I think its time for /b/ to do something big,” someone posted on 4chan. “Im talking about hacking or taking down the official Scientology Web site.” An Anon used YouTube to issue a “press release,” which included stock footage of storm clouds and a computerized voice-over. “We shall proceed to expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form,” the voice said. “You have nowhere to hide.” Within a few weeks, the YouTube video had been viewed more than two million times.
Anonymous had outgrown 4chan. The hackers met in dedicated Internet Relay Chat channels, or I.R.C.s, to coördinate tactics. Using DDoS attacks, they caused the main Scientology Web site to crash intermittently for several days. Anons created a “Google bomb,” so that a search for “dangerous cult” would yield the main Scientology site at the top of the results page. Others sent hundreds of pizzas to Scientology centers in Europe, and overwhelmed the churchs Los Angeles headquarters with all-black faxes, draining the machines of ink. The Church of Scientology, an organization that reportedly has more than a billion dollars in assets, could withstand the depletion of its ink cartridges. But its leaders, who had also received death threats, contacted the F.B.I. to request an investigation into Anonymous.
On March 15, 2008, several thousand Anons marched past Scientology churches in more than a hundred cities, from London to Sydney. In keeping with the theme of anonymity, the organizers decided that all the protesters should wear versions of the same mask. After considering Batman, they settled on the Guy Fawkes mask worn in “V for Vendetta,” a dystopian movie from 2005. “It was available in every major city, in large quantities, for cheap,” Gregg Housh, one of the organizers of the protests and a well-known Anon, told me. The mask was a caricature of a man with rosy cheeks, a handlebar mustache, and a wide grin.
Anonymous did not “dismantle” the Church of Scientology. Still, the Tom Cruise video remained online. Anonymous had proved its tenacity. The collective adopted a bombastic slogan: “We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”
----------
In 2010, Doyon moved to Santa Cruz, California, to join a local movement called Peace Camp. Using wood that he stole from a lumberyard, he built a shack in the mountains. He borrowed WiFi from a nearby mansion, drew power from salvaged solar panels, and harvested marijuana, which he sold for cash.
At the time, the Peace Camp activists were sleeping on city property as a protest against a Santa Cruz anti-homelessness law that they considered extreme. Doyon appeared at Peace Camp meetings and offered to promote their cause online. He had an unkempt red beard and wore a floppy beige hat and quasi-military fatigues. Some of the activists called him Curbhugger Chris.
Kelley Landaker, a member of Peace Camp, spoke with Doyon several times about hacking. Doyon sometimes bragged about his technical aptitude, but Landaker, an expert programmer, was unimpressed. “He was more of a spokesman than a hands-on-the-keyboard type of person,” Landaker told me. But the movement needed a passionate leader more than it needed a coder. “He was very enthusiastic and very outspoken,” Robert Norse, also a member of Peace Camp, told me. “He created more media attention for the issue than anyone Ive seen, and Ive been doing this for twenty years.”
Commander Adama, Doyons superior in the P.L.F., who still lived in Cambridge and communicated with him via e-mail, had ordered Doyon to monitor Anonymous. Doyons brief was to observe their methods and to recruit members to the P.L.F. Recalling his revulsion at the Epilepsy Foundation hack, Doyon initially balked. Adama argued that the malicious hackers were a minority within Anonymous, and that the collective might inspire powerful new forms of activism. Doyon was skeptical. “The biggest movement in the world is going to come from 4chan?” he said. But, out of loyalty to the P.L.F., he obeyed Adama.
Doyon spent much of his time at the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company, a café downtown, hunched over an Acer laptop. The main Anonymous I.R.C. did not require a password. Doyon logged in using the name PLF and followed along. Over time, he discovered back channels where smaller, more dedicated groups of Anons had dozens of overlapping conversations. To participate, you had to know the names of the back channels, which could be changed to deflect intruders. It was not a highly secure system, but it was adaptable. “These simultaneous cabals keep centralization from happening,” Gabriella Coleman, an anthropologist at McGill University, told me.
Some Anons proposed an action called Operation Payback. As the journalist Parmy Olson wrote in a 2012 book, “We Are Anonymous,” Operation Payback started as another campaign in support of file-sharing sites like the Pirate Bay, a successor to Napster, but the focus soon broadened to include political speech. In late 2010, at the behest of the State Department, several companies, including MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal, stopped facilitating donations to WikiLeaks, the vigilante organization that had released hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables. In an online video, Anonymous called for revenge, promising to lash out at the companies that had impeded WikiLeaks. Doyon, attracted by the anti-corporate spirit of the project, decided to participate.
![](http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/140908_a18473-600.jpg)
During Operation Payback, in early December, Anonymous directed new recruits, or noobs, to a flyer headed “How to Join the Fucking Hive,” in which participants were instructed to “FIX YOUR GODDAMN INTERNET. THIS IS VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT.” They were also asked to download Low Orbit Ion Cannon, an easy-to-use tool that is publicly available. Doyon downloaded the software and watched the chat rooms, waiting for a cue. When the signal came, thousands of Anons fired at once. Doyon entered a target URL—say, www.visa.com—and, in the upper-right corner, clicked a button that said “IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER.” (The operation also relied on more sophisticated hacking.) Over several days, Operation Payback disabled the home pages of Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal. In court filings, PayPal claimed that the attack had cost the company five and a half million dollars.
To Doyon, this was activism made tangible. In Cambridge, protesting against apartheid, he could not see immediate results; now, with the tap of a button, he could help sabotage a major corporations site. A banner headline on the Huffington Post read “MasterCard DOWN.” One gloating Anon tweeted, “There are some things WikiLeaks cant do. For everything else, theres Operation Payback.”
----------
In the fall of 2010, the Peace Camp protests ended. With slight concessions, the anti-homelessness law remained in effect. Doyon hoped to use the tactics of Anonymous to reinvigorate the movement. He recalls thinking, “I could wield Anonymous against this tiny little city government and they would just be fucking wrecked. Plan was we were finally going to solve this homelessness problem, once and for all.”
Joshua Covelli, a twenty-five-year-old Anon who went by the nickname Absolem, admired Doyons decisiveness. “Anonymous had been this clusterfuck of chaos,” Covelli told me. With Commander X, “there seemed to be a structure set up.” Covelli worked as a receptionist at a college in Fairborn, Ohio, and knew nothing about Santa Cruz politics. But when Doyon asked for help with Operation Peace Camp, Covelli e-mailed back immediately: “Ive been waiting to join something like that my entire life.”
Doyon, under the name PLF, invited Covelli into a private I.R.C.:
> Absolem: Sorry to be so rude . . . Is PLF part of Anonymous or separate?
>
> Absolem: I was just asking because you all seem very organized in chat.
>
> PLF: You are not in the least rude. I am pleased to meet you. PLF is 22 year old hacker group originally from Boston. I started hacking in 81, not with computers but PBX (telephones).
>
> PLF: We are all older 40 or over. Some of us are former military or intelligence. One of us, Commander Adama is currently sought by an alphabet soup of cops and spooks and in hiding.
>
> Absolem: Wow thats legit. I am really interested in helping this out in some way and Anonymous just seems too chaotic. I have some computer skills but very noob in hacking. I have some tools but no Idea how to use them.
With ritual solemnity, Doyon accepted Covellis request to join the P.L.F.:
> PLF: Encrypt the fuck out of all sensitive material that might incriminate you.
>
> PLF: Yep, work with any PLFer to get a message to me. Call me . . . Commander X for now.
In 2012, the Associated Press called Anonymous “a group of expert hackers”; Quinn Norton, in Wired, wrote that “Anonymous had figured out how to infiltrate anything,” resulting in “a wild string of brilliant hacks.” In fact some Anons are gifted coders, but the vast majority possess little technical skill. Coleman, the anthropologist, told me that only a fifth of Anons are hackers—the rest are “geeks and protesters.”
On December 16, 2010, Doyon, as Commander X, sent an e-mail to several reporters. “At exactly noon local time tomorrow, the Peoples Liberation Front and Anonymous will remove from the Internet the Web site of the Santa Cruz County government,” he wrote. “And exactly 30 minutes later, we will return it to normal function.”
The data-center staff for Santa Cruz County saw the warning and scrambled to prepare for the attack. They ran security scans on the servers and contacted A.T. & T., the countys Internet provider, which suggested that they alert the F.B.I.
The next day, Doyon entered a Starbucks and booted up his laptop. Even for a surfing town, he was notably eccentric: a homeless-looking man wearing fatigues and typing furiously. Covelli met him in a private chat room.
> PLF: Go to Forum, sign in—and look at top right menu bar “chat.” Thats Ops for today. Thank you for standing with us.
>
> Absolem: Anything for PLF, sir.
They both opened DDoS software. Though only a handful of people were participating in Operation Peace Camp, Doyon gave orders as if he were addressing legions of troops:
> PLF: ATTENTION: Everyone who supports the PLF or considers us their friend—or who cares about defeating evil and protecting the innocent: Operation Peace Camp is LIVE and an action is underway. TARGET: www.co.santa-cruz.ca.us. Fire At Will. Repeat: FIRE!
>
> Absolem: got it, sir.
The data-center staff watched their servers, which showed a flurry of denial-of-service requests. Despite their best efforts, the site crashed. Twenty-five minutes later, Doyon decided that he had made his point. He typed “CEASE FIRE,” and the countys site flickered back to life. (Despite the attack, the citys anti-homelessness law did not change.)
Doyon hardly had time to celebrate before he grew anxious. “I got to leave,” he typed to Covelli. He fled to his shack in the mountains. Doyon was right to be wary: an F.B.I. agent had been snooping in the I.R.C. The F.B.I. obtained a warrant to search Doyons laptop.
A few weeks later, Doyons food ran out, and he returned to town. While he was at the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company, two federal agents entered the shop. They brought him to the county police station. Doyon called Ed Frey, a lawyer and the founder of Peace Camp, who met him at the station. Doyon told Frey about his alter ego as Commander X.
Doyon was released, but the F.B.I. kept his laptop, which was full of incriminating evidence. Frey, a civil-rights lawyer who knew little about cybersecurity, drove Doyon back to his hillside encampment. “What are you going to do?” Frey asked.
![](http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/140908_a18447-600.jpg)
“Zach is in the gifted-and-talented-and-youre-not class.”
He spoke in cinematic terms. “Run like hell,” he said. “I will go underground, try to stay free as long as I can, and keep fighting the bastards any way possible.” Frey gave him two twenty-dollar bills and wished him luck.
----------
Doyon hitchhiked to San Francisco and stayed there for three months. He spent his days at Coffee to the People, a quirky café in the Haight-Ashbury district, where he would sit for hours in front of his computer, interrupted only by outdoor cigarette breaks.
In January, 2011, Doyon contacted Barrett Brown, the journalist and Anon. “What are we going to do next?” Doyon asked.
“Tunisia,” Brown said.
“Yeah, its a country in the Middle East,” Doyon said. “What about it?”
“Were gonna take down its dictator,” Brown said.
“Oh, they have a dictator?” Doyon said.
A couple of days later, Operation Tunisia began. Doyon volunteered to spam Tunisian government e-mail addresses in an attempt to clog their servers. “I would take the text of the press release for that op and just keep sending it over and over again,” he said. “Sometimes, I was so busy that I would just put fuck you and send it.” In one day, the Anons brought down the Web sites of the Tunisian Stock Exchange, the Ministry of Industry, the President, and the Prime Minister. They replaced the Web page of the Presidents office with an image of a pirate ship and the message “Payback is a bitch, isnt it?”
Doyon often spoke of his online battles as if he had just crawled out of a foxhole. “Dude, I turned black from doing it,” he told me. “My face, from all the smoke—it would cling to me. I would look up and I would literally be like a raccoon.” Most nights, he camped out in Golden Gate Park. “I would look at myself in the mirror and Id be like, O.K., its been four days—maybe I should eat, bathe.”
Anonymous-affiliated operations continued to be announced on YouTube: Operation Libya, Operation Bahrain, Operation Morocco. As protesters filled Tahrir Square, Doyon participated in Operation Egypt. A Facebook page disseminated information, including links to a “care package” for protesters on the ground. The package, distributed through the file-sharing site Megaupload, contained encryption software and a primer on defending against tear gas. Later, when the Egyptian government disabled Internet and cellular networks within the country, Anonymous helped the protesters find alternative ways to get online.
In the summer of 2011, Doyon succeeded Adama as Supreme Commander of the P.L.F. Doyon recruited roughly half a dozen new members and attempted to position the P.L.F. as an élite squad within Anonymous. Covelli became one of his technical advisers. Another hacker, Crypt0nymous, made YouTube videos; others did research or assembled electronic care packages. Unlike Anonymous, the P.L.F. had a strict command structure. “X always called the shots on everything,” Covelli said. “It was his way or no way.” A hacker who founded a blog called AnonInsiders told me over encrypted chat that Doyon was willing to act unilaterally—a rare thing within Anonymous. “When we wanted to start an op, he didnt mind if anyone would agree or not,” he said. “He would just write the press release by himself, list all the targets, open the I.R.C. channel, tell everyone to go in there, and start the DDoSing.”
Some Anons viewed the P.L.F. as a vanity project and Doyon as a laughingstock. “Hes known for his exaggeration,” Mustafa Al-Bassam, an Anon who went by Tflow, told me. Others, even those who disapproved of Doyons egotism, grudgingly acknowledged his importance to the Anonymous movement. “He walks that tough line of sometimes being effective and sometimes being in the way,” Gregg Housh said, adding that he and other prominent Anons had faced similar challenges.
Publicly, Anonymous persists in claiming to be non-hierarchical. In “We Are Legion,” a 2012 documentary about Anonymous by Brian Knappenberger, one activist uses the metaphor of a flock of birds, with various individuals taking turns drifting toward the front. Gabriella Coleman told me that, despite such claims, something resembling an informal leadership class did emerge within Anonymous. “The organizer is really important,” she said. “There are four or five individuals who are really good at it.” She counted Doyon among them. Still, Anons tend to rebel against institutional structure. In a forthcoming book about Anonymous, “Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy,” Coleman writes that, among Anons, “personal identity and the individual remain subordinate to a focus on the epic win—and, especially, the lulz.”
Anons who seek individual attention are often dismissed as “egofags” or “namefags.” (Many Anons have yet to outgrow their penchant for offensive epithets.) “There are surprisingly few people who violate the rule” against attention-seeking, Coleman says. “Those who do, like X, are marginalized.” Last year, in an online discussion forum, a commenter wrote, “I stopped reading his BS when he started comparing himself to Batman.”
Peter Fein, an online activist known by the nickname n0pants, was among the many Anons who were put off by Doyons self-aggrandizing rhetoric. Fein browsed the P.L.F. Web site, which featured a coat of arms and a manifesto about the groups “epic battle for the very soul of humanity.” Fein was dismayed to find that Doyon had registered the site using his real name, leaving himself and possibly other Anons vulnerable to prosecution. “Im basically okay with people DDoSing,” Fein recalls telling Doyon over private chat. “But if youre going to do it, youve got to cover your ass.”
On February 5, 2011, the Financial Times reported that Aaron Barr, the C.E.O. of a cybersecurity firm called HBGary Federal, had identified the “most senior” members of Anonymous. Barrs research suggested that one of the top three was Commander X, a hacker based in California, who could “manage some significant firepower.” Barr contacted the F.B.I. and offered to share his work with them.
Like Fein, Barr had seen that the P.L.F. site was registered to Christopher Doyon at an address on Haight Street. Based on Facebook and I.R.C. activity, Barr concluded that Commander X was Benjamin Spock de Vries, an online activist who had lived near the Haight Street address. Barr approached de Vries on Facebook. “Please tell the folks there that I am not out to get you guys,” Barr wrote. “Just want the leadership to know what my intent is.”
Leadership lmao,” de Vries responded.
Days after the Financial Times story appeared, Anonymous struck back. HBGary Federals Web site was defaced. Barrs personal Twitter account was hijacked, thousands of his e-mails were leaked online, and Anons released his address and other personal information—a punishment known as doxing. Barr resigned from HBGary Federal within the month.
----------
In April, 2011, Doyon left San Francisco and hitchhiked around the West, camping in parks at night and spending his days at Starbucks outlets. In his backpack he kept his laptop, his Guy Fawkes mask, and several packs of Pall Malls.
![](http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/140908_a18563-600.jpg)
“This is what I learned during my summer at TED camp.”
He followed internal Anonymous news. That spring, six élite Anons, all of whom had been instrumental in deflecting Barrs investigation, formed a group called Lulz Security, or LulzSec. As their name indicated, they felt that Anonymous had become too self-serious; they aimed to bring the lulz back. While Anonymous continued supporting Arab Spring protesters, LulzSec hacked the Web site of PBS and posted a fake story claiming that the late rapper Tupac Shakur was alive in New Zealand.
Anons often share text through the Web site Pastebin.com. On the site, LulzSec issued a statement that read, “It has come to our unfortunate attention that NATO and our good friend Barrack Osama-Llama 24th-century Obama have recently upped the stakes with regard to hacking. They now treat hacking as an act of war.” The loftier the target, the greater the lulz. On June 15th, LulzSec took credit for crashing the C.I.A.s Web site, tweeting, “Tango down—cia.gov—for the lulz.”
On June 20, 2011, Ryan Cleary, a nineteen-year-old member of LulzSec, was arrested for the DDoS attacks on the C.I.A. site. The next month, F.B.I. agents arrested fourteen other hackers for DDoS attacks on PayPal seven months earlier. Each of the PayPal Fourteen, as they became known, faced fifteen years in prison and a five-hundred-thousand-dollar fine. They were charged with conspiracy and intentional damage to protected computers under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. (The law allows for wide prosecutorial discretion and was widely criticized after Aaron Swartz, an Internet activist who was facing thirty-five years in prison, committed suicide last year.)
A petition was circulated on behalf of Jake (Topiary) Davis, a member of LulzSec, who needed help paying his legal fees. Doyon entered an I.R.C. to promote Daviss cause:
> CommanderX: Please sign the petition and help Topiary…
>
> toad: you are an attention whore
>
> toad: so you get attention
>
> CommanderX: Toad your an asshole.
>
> katanon: sigh
Doyon had grown increasingly brazen. He DDoSed the Web site of the Chamber of Commerce of Orlando, Florida, after activists there were arrested for feeding the homeless. He launched the attacks from public WiFi networks, using his personal laptop, without making much effort to cover his tracks. “Thats brave but stupid,” a senior member of the P.L.F. who asked to be called Kalli told me. “He didnt seem to care if he was caught. He was a suicide hacker.”
Two months later, Doyon participated in a DDoS strike against San Franciscos Bay Area Rapid Transit, protesting an incident in which a BART police officer had killed a homeless man named Charles Hill. Doyon appeared on the “CBS Evening News” to defend the action, his voice disguised and his face obscured by a bandanna. He compared DDoS attacks to civil disobedience. “Its no different, really, than taking up seats at the Woolworth lunch counters,” he said. Bob Schieffer, the CBS anchor, snickered and said, “Its not quite the civil-rights movement, as I see it.”
On September 22, 2011, in a coffee shop in Mountain View, California, Doyon was arrested and charged with causing intentional damage to a protected computer. He was detained for a week and released on bond. Two days later, against his lawyers advice, he called a press conference on the steps of the Santa Cruz County Courthouse. His hair in a ponytail, he wore dark sunglasses, a black pirate hat, and a camouflage bandanna around his neck.
In characteristically melodramatic fashion, Doyon revealed his identity. “I am Commander X,” he told reporters. He raised his fist. “I am immensely proud, and humbled to the core, to be a part of the idea called Anonymous.” He told a journalist, “All you need to be a world-class hacker is a computer and a cool pair of sunglasses. And the computer is optional.”
Kalli worried that Doyon was placing his ego above the safety of other Anons. “Its the weakest link in the chain that ends up taking everyone down,” he told me. Josh Covelli, the Anon who had been eager to help Doyon with Operation Peace Camp, told me that his “jaw dropped” when he saw a video of Doyons press conference online. “The way he presented himself and the way he acted had become more unhinged,” Covelli said.
Three months later, Doyons pro-bono lawyer, Jay Leiderman, was in a federal court in San Jose. Leiderman had not heard from Doyon in a couple of weeks. “Im inquiring as to whether theres a reason for that,” the judge said. Leiderman had no answer. Doyon was absent from another hearing two weeks later. The prosecutor stated the obvious: “It appears as though the defendant has fled.”
----------
Operation Xport was the first Anonymous operation of its kind. The goal was to smuggle Doyon, now a fugitive wanted for two felonies, out of the country. The coördinators were Kalli and a veteran Anon who had met Doyon at an acid party in Cambridge during the eighties. A retired software executive, he was widely respected within Anonymous.
Doyons ultimate destination was the software executives house, deep in rural Canada. In December, 2011, he hitchhiked to San Francisco and made his way to an Occupy encampment downtown. He found his designated contact, who helped him get to a pizzeria in Oakland. At 2 A.M., Doyon, using the pizzerias WiFi, received a message on encrypted chat.
“Are you near a window?” the message read.
“Yeah,” Doyon typed.
“Look across the street. Do you see the green mailbox? In exactly fifteen minutes, go and stand next to that mailbox and set your backpack down, and lay your mask on top of it.”
For a few weeks, Doyon shuttled among safe houses in the Bay Area, following instructions through encrypted chat. Eventually, he took a Greyhound bus to Seattle, where he stayed with a friend of the software executive. The friend, a wealthy retiree, spent hours using Google Earth to help Doyon plot a route to Canada. They went to a camping-supplies store, and the friend spent fifteen hundred dollars on gear for Doyon, including hiking boots and a new backpack. Then he drove Doyon two hours north and dropped him off in a remote area, several hundred miles from the border, where Doyon met up with Amber Lyon.
Months earlier, Lyon, a broadcast journalist, had interviewed Doyon for a CNN segment about Anonymous. He liked her report, and they stayed in touch. Lyon asked to join Doyon on his escape, to shoot footage for a possible documentary. The software executive thought that it was “nuts” to take the risk, but Doyon invited her anyway. “I think he wanted to make himself a face of the movement,” Lyon told me. For four days, she filmed him as he hiked north, camping in the woods. “It wasnt very organized,” Lyon recalls. “He was functionally homeless, so he just kind of wandered out of the country.”

“This is the barn where we keep our feelings. If a feeling comes to you, bring it out here and lock it up.”
On February 11, 2012, a press release appeared on Pastebin. “The PLF is delighted to announce that Commander X, aka Christopher Mark Doyon, has fled the jurisdiction of the USA and entered the relative safety of the nation of Canada,” it read. “The PLF calls upon the government of the USA to come to its senses and cease the harassment, surveillance—and arrest of not only Anonymous, but all activists.”
----------
In Canada, Doyon spent a few days with the software executive in a small house in the woods. In a chat with Barrett Brown, Doyon was effusive.
> BarrettBrown: you have enough safe houses, etc? . . .
>
> CommanderX: Yes I am good here, money and houses a plenty in Canada.
>
> CommanderX: Amber Lyon asked me on camera about you.
>
> CommanderX: I think you will like my reply, and fuck the trolls Barrett. I have always loved you and always will.
>
> CommanderX: :-)
>
> CommanderX: I told her you were a hero.
>
> BarrettBrown: youre a hero . . .
>
> BarrettBrown: glad youre safe for now
>
> BarrettBrown: let me know if you need anything
>
> CommanderX: I am, and if this works we can get others out to . . . .
>
> BarrettBrown: good, were going to need that
Ten days after Doyons escape, the Wall Street Journal reported that Keith Alexander, then the N.S.A. and U.S. Cyber Command director, had held classified meetings in the White House and elsewhere during which he expressed concern about Anonymous. Within two years, Alexander warned, the group might be capable of destabilizing national power grids. General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Journal that an enemy of the U.S. “could give cyber malware capability to some fringe group,” adding, “We have to get after this.”
On March 8th, a briefing on cybersecurity was held for members of Congress at a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility near the Capitol Building. Many of the countrys top security officials attended the briefing, including Alexander, Dempsey, Robert Mueller, the head of the F.B.I., and Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security. Attendees were shown a computer simulation of what a cyberattack on the Eastern Seaboards electrical supply might look like. Anonymous was not yet capable of mounting an attack on this scale, but security officials worried that they might join forces with other, more sophisticated groups. “As we were dealing with this ever-increasing presence on the Net and ever-increasing risk, the government nuts and bolts were still being worked out,” Napolitano told me. When discussing potential cybersecurity threats, she added, “We often used Anonymous as Exhibit A.”
Anonymous might be the most powerful nongovernmental hacking collective in the world. Even so, it has never demonstrated an ability or desire to damage any key elements of public infrastructure. To some cybersecurity experts, the dire warnings about Anonymous sounded like fearmongering. “Theres a big gap between declaring war on Orlando and pulling off a Stuxnet attack,” James Andrew Lewis, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told me, referring to the elaborate cyberstrike carried out by the U.S. and Israel against Iranian nuclear sites in 2007. Yochai Benkler, a professor at Harvard Law School, told me, “What weve seen is the use of drumbeating as justification for major defense spending of a form that would otherwise be hard to justify.”
Keith Alexander, who recently retired from the government, declined to comment for this story, as did representatives from the N.S.A., the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and the D.H.S. Although Anons have never seriously compromised government computer networks, they have a record of seeking revenge against individuals who anger them. Andy Purdy, the former head of the national-cybersecurity division of the D.H.S., told me that “a fear of retaliation,” both institutional and personal, prevents government representatives from speaking out against Anonymous. “Everyone is vulnerable,” he said.
----------
On March 6, 2012, Hector Xavier Monsegur, a key member of LulzSec with the screen name Sabu, was revealed to be an F.B.I. informant. In exchange for a reduced sentence, Monsegur had spent several months undercover, helping to gather evidence against other LulzSec members. The same day, five leading Anons were arrested and charged with several crimes, including computer conspiracy. An F.B.I. official told Fox News, “This is devastating to the organization. Were chopping off the head of LulzSec.” Over the next ten months, Barrett Brown was indicted on seventeen federal charges, most of which were later dropped. (He will be sentenced in October.)
Doyon was distraught, but he continued to hack—and to seek attention. He appeared, masked, at a Toronto screening of a documentary about Anonymous. He gave an interview to a reporter from the National Post and boasted, without substantiation, “We have access to every classified database in the U.S. government. Its a matter of when we leak the contents of those databases, not if.”
In January, 2013, after another Anon started an operation about the rape of a teen-age girl in Steubenville, Ohio, Doyon repurposed LocalLeaks, a site he had created two years earlier, as a clearinghouse for information about the rape. Like many Anonymous efforts, LocalLeaks was both influential and irresponsible. It was the first site to widely disseminate the twelve-minute video of a Steubenville High School graduate joking about the rape, which inflamed public outrage about the story. But the site also perpetuated several false rumors about the case and it failed to redact a court document, thus accidentally revealing the rape victims name. Doyon admitted to me that his strategy of releasing unexpurgated materials was controversial, but he recalled thinking, “We could either gut the Steubenville Files . . . or we could release everything we know, basically, with the caveat, Hey, youve got to trust us.”
In May, 2013, the Rustle League, a group of online trolls who often provoke Anonymous, hacked Doyons Twitter account. Shm00p, one of the leaders of Rustle League, told me, “Were not trying to cause harm to the guy, but, just, the shit he was saying—it was comical to me.” The Rustle League implanted racist and anti-Semitic messages into Doyons account, such as a link to www.jewsdid911.org.
On August 27, 2013, Doyon posted a note announcing his retirement from Anonymous. “My entire life has been dedicated to fighting for justice and freedom,” he wrote. “ Commander X may be invincible, but I am extremely ill from the exhaustion and stress of fighting in this epic global cyber war.” Reactions varied from compassion (“you deserve a rest”) to ridicule (“poor crazy old gnoll. Maybe he has some time for bathing now”). Covelli told me, “The persona has consumed him to the point where he cant handle it anymore.”

August 17, 1998 “We still have Paris? Just thought Id check.”
----------
The first Million Mask March took place on November 5, 2013. Several thousand people marched in support of Anonymous, in four hundred and fifty cities around the world. In a sign of how deeply Anonymous had penetrated popular culture, one protester in London removed his Guy Fawkes mask to reveal that he was the actor Russell Brand.
While I attended the rally in Washington, D.C., Doyon watched a livestream in Canada. I exchanged e-mails with him on my phone. “It is so surreal to sit here, sidelined and out of the game—and watch something that you helped create turn into this,” he wrote. “At least it all made a difference.”
We arranged a face-to-face meeting. Doyon insisted that I submit to elaborate plans made over encrypted chat. I was to fly to an airport several hours away, rent a car, drive to a remote location in Canada, and disable my phone.
I found him in a small, run-down apartment building in a quiet residential neighborhood. He wore a green Army-style jacket and a T-shirt featuring one of Anonymouss logos: a black-suited man with a question mark instead of a face. The apartment was sparsely furnished and smelled of cigarette smoke. He discussed U.S. politics (“I have not voted in many elections—its all a rigged game”), militant Islam (“I believe that people in the Nigerian government essentially colluded to create a completely phony Al Qaeda affiliate called Boko Haram”), and his tenuous position within Anonymous (“These people who call themselves trolls are really just rotten, mean, evil people”).
Doyon had shaved his beard, and he looked gaunt. He told me that he was ill and that he rarely went outside. On his small desk were two laptops, a stack of books about Buddhism, and an overflowing ashtray. A Guy Fawkes mask hung on an otherwise bare yellow wall. He told me, “Underneath the whole X persona is a little old man who is in absolute agony at times.”
This past Christmas, the founder of the news site AnonInsiders visited him, bearing pie and cigarettes. Doyon asked the friend to succeed him as Supreme Commander of the P.L.F., offering “the keys to the kingdom”—all his passwords, as well as secret files relating to several Anonymous operations. The friend gently declined. “I have a life,” he told me.
----------
On August 9, 2014, at 5:09 P.M. local time, Kareem (Tef Poe) Jackson, a rapper and activist from Dellwood, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, tweeted about a crisis unfolding in a neighboring town. “Basically martial law is taking place in Ferguson all perimeters blocked coming and going,” he wrote. “National and international friends Help!!!” Five hours earlier in Ferguson, an unarmed eighteen-year-old African-American, Michael Brown, had been shot to death by a white police officer. The police claimed that Brown had reached for the officers gun. Browns friend Dorian Johnson, who was with him at the time, said that Browns only offense was refusing to leave the middle of the street.
Within two hours, Jackson received a reply from a Twitter account called CommanderXanon. “You can certainly expect us,” the message read. “See if you can get us some live streams going, that would be useful.” In recent weeks, Doyon, still in Canada, had come out of retirement. In June, two months before his fiftieth birthday, he quit smoking (“#hacktheaddiction #ecigaretteswork #old,” he later tweeted). The following month, after fighting broke out in Gaza, he tweeted in support of Anonymouss Operation Save Gaza, a series of DDoS strikes against Israeli Web sites. Doyon found the events in Ferguson even more compelling. Despite his idiosyncrasies, he had a knack for being early to a cause.
“Start collecting URLs for cops, city government,” Doyon tweeted. Within ten minutes, he had created an I.R.C. channel. “Anonymous Operation Ferguson is engaged,” he tweeted. Only two people retweeted the message.
The next morning, Doyon posted a link to a rudimentary Web site, which included a message to the people of Ferguson—“You are not alone, we will support you in every way possible”—and an ultimatum to the police: “If you abuse, harass or harm in any way the protesters in Ferguson, we will take every Web based asset of your departments and governments off line. That is not a threat, it is a promise.” Doyon appealed to the most visible Anonymous Twitter account, YourAnonNews, which has 1.3 million followers. “Please support Operation Ferguson,” he wrote. A minute later, YourAnonNews complied. That day, the hashtag #OpFerguson was tweeted more than six thousand times.
The crisis became a top news story, and Anons rallied around Operation Ferguson. As with the Arab Spring operations, Anonymous sent electronic care packages to protesters on the ground, including a riot guide (“Pick up the gas emitter and lob it back at the police”) and printable Guy Fawkes masks. As Jackson and other protesters marched through Ferguson, the police attempted to subdue them with rubber bullets and tear gas. “It looked like a scene from a Bruce Willis movie,” Jackson told me. “Barack Obama hasnt supported us to the degree Anonymous has,” he said. “Its comforting to know that someone out there has your back.”
One site, www.opferguson.com, turned out to be a honeypot—a trap designed to collect the Internet Protocol addresses of visitors and turn them over to law-enforcement agencies. Some suspected Commander X of being a government informant. In the #OpFerguson I.R.C., someone named Sherlock wrote, “Everyone got me scared clicking links. Unless its from a name Ive seen a lot, I just avoid them.”
Protesters in Ferguson asked the police to reveal the name of the officer who had shot Brown. Several times, Anons echoed this demand. Someone tweeted, “Ferguson police better release the shooters name before Anonymous does the work for them.” In a community meeting on August 12th, Jon Belmar, the Chief of the St. Louis Police Department, refused. “We do not do that until theyre charged with an offense,” he said.
In retaliation, a hacker with the handle TheAnonMessage tweeted a link to what he claimed was a two-hour audio file of a police radio scanner, recorded around the time of Browns death. TheAnonMessage also doxed Belmar, tweeting what he purported to be the police chiefs home address, phone number, and photographs of his family—one of his son sleeping on a couch, another of Belmar posing with his wife. “Nice photo, Jon,” TheAnonMessage tweeted. “Your wife actually looks good for her age. Have you had enough?” An hour later, TheAnonMessage threatened to dox Belmars daughter.
Richard Stallman, the first-generation hacker from M.I.T., told me that though he supports many of Anonymouss causes, he considered these dox attacks reprehensible. Even internally, TheAnonMessages actions were divisive. “Why bother doxing people who werent involved?” one Anon asked over I.R.C., adding that threatening Belmars family was “beyond stupid.” But TheAnonMessage and other Anons continued to seek information that could be used in future dox attacks. The names of Ferguson Police Department employees were available online, and Anons scoured the Internet, trying to suss out which of the officers had killed Brown.

April 12, 1999“Which thing do I press?”
In the early morning of August 14th, a few Anons became convinced, based on Facebook photos and other disparate clues, that Browns shooter was a thirty-two-year-old man named Bryan Willman. According to a transcript of an I.R.C., one Anon posted a photo of Willman with a swollen face; another noted, “The shooter claimed to have been hit in the face.” Another user, Anonymous|11057, acknowledged that his suspicion of Willman involved “a leap of probably bad logic.” Still, he wrote, “i just cant shake it. i really truly honestly and without a shred of hard evidence think its him.”
TheAnonMessage seemed amused by the conversation, writing, “#RIPBryanWillman.” Other Anons urged caution. “Please be sure,” Anonymous|2252 wrote. “Its not just about a mans life, Anon can easily be turned on by the public if something truly unjust comes of this.”
The debate went on for more than an hour. Several Anons pointed out that there was no way to confirm that Willman had ever been a Ferguson police officer.
> Anonymous|3549: @gs we still dont have a confirmation that bry is even on PD
>
> Intangir: tensions are high enough right now where there is a slim chance someone might care enough to kill him
>
> Anonymous|11057: the only real way to get a confirmation would be an eyewitness report from the scene of the crime. otherwise its hearsay and shillery
>
> Anonymous|11057: the fastest way to eliminate a suspect is to call him a suspect . . . we are all terrified of being unjust, but the pegs keep fitting in the holes . . .
Many Anons remained uncomfortable with the idea of a dox. But around 7 A.M. a vote was taken. According to chat logs, of the eighty or so people in the I.R.C., fewer than ten participated. They decided to release Willmans personal information.
> Anonymous|2252: is this going on twitter?
>
> anondepp: lol
>
> Anonymous|2252: via @theanonmessage ?
>
> TheAnonMessage: yup
>
> TheAnonMessage: just did
>
> anondepp: its up
>
> Anonymous|2252: shit
>
> TheAnonMessage: Lord in heaven…
>
> Anonymous|3549: . . .have mercy on our souls

> anondepp: lol
At 9:45 A.M., the St. Louis Police Department responded to TheAnonMessage. “Bryan Willman is not even an officer with Ferguson or St. Louis County PD,” the tweet read. “Do not release more info on this random citizen.” (The F.B.I. later opened an investigation into the hacking of police computers in Ferguson.) Twitter quickly suspended TheAnonMessage, but Willmans name and address had been reported widely.
Willman is the head police dispatcher in St. Ann, a suburb west of Ferguson. When the St. Louis Police Departments Intelligence Unit called to tell him that he had been named as the killer, Willman told me, “I thought it was the weirdest joke.” Within hours, he received hundreds of death threats on his social-media accounts. He stayed in his house for nearly a week, alone, under police protection. “I just want it all to go away,” he told me. He thinks that Anonymous has irreparably harmed his reputation. “I dont see how they can ever think they can be trusted again,” he said.
“We are not perfect,” OpFerguson tweeted. “Anonymous makes mistakes, and weve made a few in the chaos of the past few days. For those, we apologize.” Though Doyon was not responsible for the errant dox attack, other Anons took the opportunity to shame him for having launched an operation that spiralled out of control. A Pastebin message, distributed by YourAnonNews, read, “You may notice contradictory tweets and information about #Ferguson and #OpFerguson from various Anonymous twitter accounts. Part of why there is dissension about this particular #op is that CommanderX is considered a namefag/facefag—a known entity who enjoys or at least doesnt shun publicity—which is considered by most Anonymous to be bad form, for some probably fairly obvious reasons.”
On his personal Twitter account, Doyon denied any involvement with Op Ferguson and wrote, “I hate this shit. I dont want drama and I dont want to fight with people I thought were friends.” Within a couple of days, he was sounding hopeful again. He recently retweeted messages reading, “You call them rioters, we call them voices of the oppressed” and “Free Tibet.”
Doyon is still in hiding. Even Jay Leiderman, his attorney, does not know where he is. Leiderman says that, in addition to the charges in Santa Cruz, Doyon may face indictment for his role in the PayPal and Orlando attacks. If he is arrested and convicted on all counts, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Following the example of Edward Snowden, he hopes to apply for asylum with the Russians. When we spoke, he used a lit cigarette to gesture around his apartment. “How is this better than a fucking jail cell? I never go out,” he said. “I will never speak with my family again. . . . Its an incredibly high price to pay to do everything you can to keep people alive and free and informed.”
