If you just want the Linux and Open Source stuff, head over to <a href="http://cookingwithlinux.com" rel="noopener">http://cookingwithlinux.com</a> . Today’s Wine Today, we travel to Spain for our feature wine. It’s a 2018 Verdejo Sauvignon Blanc by Toro Bravo, of La Mancha, Spain. The Verdejo accounts for 70% of the grapes with the remaining 30% going to the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. This is a lovely crisp, straw colored white, with pear overtones coupled with a lemony zest. There’s also a hint of mustard that follows in behind, giving this wine a great deal more character than you’d expect in a $7 bottle of wine (Canadian prices). Honestly, there’s no way a wine this cheap should taste so good, but it does. Enjoy! News. Rumors.

For example, think back, if you can, to “libdvdcss,” a library that allowed Linux users to play encrypted DVDs on their computers, even though that could bring a felony charge in the United States. Consider that users had movies on DVD that they bought and paid for, and they wanted to play them on a DVD player they had bought and paid for, using a computer they had bought a paid for. Despite following all the rules and legally paying for every hardware piece along the chain, Linux users were barred because the code necessary to allow that to play their legal content was barred to them. So they broke the encryption, thereby breaking the law, the infamous Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA. The whole thing was obviously unfair, at least to those of us in the Linux community, so it seemed like a good reason to ignore the law. This law, remember, carried a felony charge. Open Source VR Worlds I’ve been spending a lot of time in VR lately, mostly playing games like “Drop Dead: Dual Strike” and “Sairento VR”, but I’ve also been exploring virtual worlds like AltspaceVR and VRChat. It’s in this search that I found out about Mozilla HUBS, a completely open source VR (social) platform. <a href="https://hubs.mozilla.com" rel="noopener">https://hubs.mozilla.com</a> Distribution Focus I’m always on the lookout for something really new and this month, I have a real winner. It’s called eXternOS and it’s create by a guy named, Anesu Chiodze. The idea is frankly new and very fresh. It’s powered by NW.js for it’s desktop.

First Segment: Melissa Andresko, Chief Brand Ambassador for Lutron, Caseta. Lutron designs and manufactures automated light and shade controls for homes and commercial applications. Our story began with the control of electric light in the late 1950s, in a makeshift lab in New York City. There, Joel Spira a young physicist fascinated by the aesthetic manipulation of light, took over the spare bedroom in the apartment that he shared with his wife, Ruth, and set out to invent a solid-state device that would enable people to vary the intensity of the lights in their homes. The result? The world’s first solid state dimmer-and the birth of the lighting control industry. Since then, Lutron has been busy innovating. We hold over 2,700 worldwide patents and were the first company to create a system of dimmer and motorized window shades for controlling both electric light and daylight.
