Issue 9 out now!
Forget proprietary app stores. Linux repositories are crammed full of the best and most creative applications you can find for any operating system. We celebrate a mere 54 of them (plus those uncovered in FOSSPicks, of course) in issue 9.
“Being locked in is just as real in the internet era as it was in the previous software era,” say Tim O’Reilly, in our exhaustive interview with this internet / technology / open source visionary / founder of a publishing empire.
We’ve got a guide to the murky underworld of Linux kernel parameters, a feature on the culture of hardware hacking revolutionaries and a look inside the Gnome Foundation.
Then there’s our tutorials; learn how to use Tox to create super secret peer-to-peer communications, Latex to make beautiful text and our own guide to breaking into Shellshock.
For coding newbies, we’ve got an epic tutorial that creates wonderful fractals with Python, and a look at the birth of the subroutine.
Take a look at the contents page below for a complete overview of our 116 pages/75,000 words.

sorry for posting this here ¿woul there have been a better place?
when noscript is installed in firefox AND linuxvoice.com AND cloudflare.com are whitelisted it is still not possible to access the site resolving the captcha from cloudflare (there is no capcha) . Could you talk to cloudflare to resolve the little issue? (I am writing from a separate firefox instance) THANKS 🙂
Thanks for letting us know. I’ve managed to reproduce the problem here, and I’ll bring it up with cloudflare.

I’ve just received a message from Cloudflare. They are aware of the problem and are looking to fix it. It’s been caused by the captcha provider (Google) starting to rate-limit captchas. It’ll work intermittently depending on how the current rate is limited.
In the mean time, I’ll ratchet our settings down which should mean that you’re less likely to get a captcha when accessing from Tor.

eicp here
Thanks Mr. 😉 Ben
Just to note, I am using the normal firefox and not accessing through TOR. I just have the firefox extension noscript installed. Everything seems fine now. I just don’t get the captcha for commenting so I have to divert to a instance of firefox with no noscript installed, which I do happily, thanks again
THANKS today I am coming through without problems, except to post this comment I had to launch another instance of firefox with no noscript installed, guess you can’t have everything 😉 thanks again 🙂

The subscription link is not working.
What I meant was the download link for subscribers in the email is not working.
Which link do you mean please? http://subs.linuxvoice.com? Which browser are you using? I’ve tested it in Firefox and Chrome here, and all’s fine.
Yes, that’s the one. I’m using Chrome on XP (said quietly). I never had a problem on previous months.
Just tried Firefox and that is ok. Strange for sure.
