Faults in online security these days

Recently, a Gawker Reporter's entire online presence is hacked, and all his devices wiped. This was a very interesting report, and it shows the faults that companies have for security systems. The sad part is that some of these faults are because of humans themselves.

Help support a great podcast network - Jupiter Broadcasting

If you have been on the site lately, you know that there is some references to the Linux Action Show, TechSNAP, and Coder Radio. Well that podcast network does not get paid by big companies to do their shows, they rely on donations, affiliates, and some ads (pretty much GoDaddy ads).


If you shop online a lot, you can contribute to them without even lifting a finger, especially if you shop on Amazon a lot. Their Firefox and Chrome extensions can auto tag their affiliate websites for you when you visit them.


For example, Amazon is automatically tagged when you visit a product. If you go and buy that product, that tag still stays. A small portion of your purchase is contributed to the network, so they can continue to make great shows. So go ahead and support them, they appreciate it.


So, what about the shows? I'll explain a little bit about them.


Linux Action Show - This show is a hub of Linux news and reviews. The current hosts are Chris Fisher and Matt Hartley, both having experience and a background with Linux. They frequently review new distros, as well as new versions of distros. They also cover news about Linux. They also have a "runs Linux" segment on the show where they find interesting products that run Linux. You can submit a candidate for the runs Linux segment on their sub-Reddit. 

TechSNAP - This show is more tech oriented, from a broad view, and not focused on one particular subject in the world to tech. They are a much geekier show then you think, talking about server stuff, databases, and so on. The hosts of the show are Chris Fisher and Allan Jude. Allan Jude lives in Canada, not the US, so they (I guess) Skype each other to do the show.

Coder Radio - I already explained this show in a different blog post, go here to see it.



How to help:

You can help support Jupiter Broadcasting by installing their Chrome and/or Firefox extensions. This extension does cover most of Jupiter Broadcasting's affiliates, but it does not cover them all (due to the affiliate denying auto tagging sessions using extensions and such). You can always visit jupiterbroadcasting.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see all of the affiliate links, as well as options to donate via Amazon or Paypal. Other options such as Google Checkout are in plans.

Want to have a podcast that is focused on "Software Development and related technologies"? Dive into Coder Radio!

Hello all. If you didn't know, I love to listen to podcasts  provided by Jupiter Broadcasting. Those are the people that make shows like the Linux Action Show, and some other shows like TechSNAP (focuses on tech and related stuff).

Recently Jupiter Broadcasting has launched a new show, called Coder Radio. This show focuses on software development and related technologies. Coder Radio is meant to be a audio only show, but for now you can also grab a 432p video stream, that mostly shows activity in the chat room, as well as when they load up relevant webpages, etc. Coder Radio has so far proven to be a successful show, with even members in the #jupiterbroadcasting chat room asking for when the next Coder Radio is out.

Below was the preview video that was put out before Coder Radio Episode one came out. It is basically sort of like a preview show.

Coder Radio is currently at episode 4, so you haven't missed much if you are interested in taking a look at this show.
