If you’re planning your transition to SAP HANA, you probably have many questions like:

  • What is SAP’s strategy and roadmap for SAP HANA 2.0?
  • What are my options for getting my data center ready?
  • Why should I consider putting my SAP workloads in the cloud, and how can I get there?
  • With SAP’s focus on open source, which solutions work well on-premise and in the cloud?
  • How can I mitigate the risks of transitioning to SAP HANA?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the answers to all of these questions and more from experts in an interactive setting without taking up too much of your valuable time? Well, you can!

Make plans to be in New York City on November 20, 2018 and add the “SAP +3 Workshop: Transition to SAP HANA” event to your calendar. This workshop is for IT leaders and architects who are planning to move to SAP HANA, or perhaps are already executing their plan and want to fine-tune it. Experts from SAP, SUSE, Microsoft Azure and Protera will be there for presentations and informal discussions to provide information that can be invaluable to executing a success move from your current SAP NetWeaver and relational database infrastructure to SAP HANA. And you get all of this plus a hot lunch in about a half-day.

The Linux Foundation Launches Ceph Foundation To Advance Open Source Storage

More than 30 members join new Ceph Foundation to manage the massive growth in data and information generated from cloud, container and AI applications

CEPH DAY BERLIN – Nov. 12, 2018 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announces over 30 global technology leaders are forming a new foundation to support the Ceph open source project community. The Ceph project develops a unified distributed storage system providing applications with object, block, and file system interfaces.

Founding Premier members of Ceph Foundation include Amihan, Canonical, China Mobile, DigitalOcean, Intel, OVH, ProphetStor Data Services, Red Hat, SoftIron, SUSE, Western Digital, XSKY Data Technology, and ZTE. The Ceph Foundation will organize and distribute financial contributions in a coordinated, vendor-neutral fashion for immediate community benefit. This will help galvanize rapid adoption, training and in-person collaboration across the Ceph ecosystem.

“Ceph has a long track record of success when it comes to helping organizations with effectively managing high growth and expanding data storage demands,” said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation. “Under the Linux Foundation, the Ceph Foundation will be able to harness investments from a much broader group to help support the infrastructure needed to continue the success and stability of the Ceph ecosystem.”

Ceph is used by cloud providers and enterprises around the world, including financial institutions (Bloomberg, Fidelity), cloud service providers (Rackspace, Linode), academic and government institutions (Massachusetts Open Cloud), telecommunications infrastructure providers (Deutsche Telekom), auto manufacturers (BMW), software solution providers (SAP, Salesforce), and many more.

Ceph is also used by Rook, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that brings seamless provisioning of file, block and object storage services into the Kubernetes environment, running the Ceph storage infrastructure in containers alongside applications that are consuming that storage.

Efficient, agile, and massively scalable, Ceph significantly lowers the cost of storing enterprise information in the private cloud and provides high availability to any object, file, and block data. Unstructured data makes up 80% and more of enterprise data, is growing at the rate of 55% to 65% per year, and is common with rich-media, predictive analytics, sensors, social networks, and satellite imagery.[1] Block and file storage are critical to any IT infrastructure organization and are important components of infrastructure platforms like OpenStack and Kubernetes. According to recent user surveys, roughly two-thirds of OpenStack clouds use Ceph block storage.

The growth of new cloud, container and artificial intelligence/machine learning applications are driving increased use of Ceph. For example, Ceph combined with analytics and machine learning enables enterprises to comb through mass amounts of unstructured data to quickly spot patterns with customer behavior, online customer conversations and potential noncompliance scenarios.

The Ceph Foundation is the successor framework to the Ceph Advisory Board, which was formed in 2015. Get involved in the Ceph community at https://ceph.com/get-involved/ or learn more about membership at https://ceph.com/foundation.

Project Creator and Leadership Quotes

“A guiding vision for Ceph is to be the state of the art for reliable, scale-out storage, and to do so with 100% open source,” said Sage Weil, Ceph co-creator, project leader, and chief architect at Red Hat for Ceph. “While early public cloud providers popularized self-service storage infrastructure, Ceph brings the same set of capabilities to service providers, enterprises, and individuals alike, with the power of a robust development and user community to drive future innovation in the storage space. Today’s launch of the Ceph Foundation is a testament to the strength of a diverse open source community coming together to address the explosive growth in data storage and services.”

“Ceph was designed and built for scalability, initially with supercomputers and later with cloud infrastructure in mind. A key design premise was that the storage system needs to provide a highly reliable and available service in a dynamic and increasingly heterogeneous hardware environment where everything can potentially fail,” said Carlos Maltzahn of University of California, Santa Cruz, a co-founder of the research project that first created Ceph over a decade ago.

Cephalocon and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2019

The Ceph Foundation plans to host the second Cephalocon conference in Barcelona, Spain from May 19 – 20, 2019, co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2019, May 20-23. The first Cephalocon took place in March 2018 in Beijing, China, bringing together 1000 attendees consisting of Ceph vendors, users, and developers from all over the world.

For updates, subscribe to the Ceph project’s announcement mailing list and follow Ceph on Twitter @Ceph.

Founding Members

Founding members of the Ceph Foundation at the Premier level include Amihan, Canonical, China Mobile, DigitalOcean, Intel, OVH, ProphetStor Data Services, Red Hat, SoftIron, SUSE, Western Digital, XSKY Data Technology, and ZTE.

Ceph Foundation General members include Ambedded Technology, Arm, Catalyst Cloud, Croit GmbH, EasyStack, Intelligent Systems Services, Pingan Technology, QCT, Sinorail, and Xiaoju Science Technology.

Associate members include Boston University Information Services and Technology, CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), FAS Research Computing – Harvard, Greek Research and Technology Network (GRNET), Monash University, South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO), Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and University of California Santa Cruz’s Center for Research in Open Source Software (CROSS).

Ads. You can’t escape them whether it’s on the small screen or your computer. Most of the ones you encounter in your browser exist to push a product or service while occasionally earning the site a bit of cash. It’s something your favorite website may use to survive, but some sites go a little crazy with their ads. Especially when not optimized for our mobiles.

Hyperledger Fabric Fundamentals (LFD271) $299

There was a time when the dreaded “Pop-up” ad was reserved for folks using their desktop PC or laptop. The annoying ads made their way to mobiles as soon as the platform become relevant, which left plenty of consumers looking for the best ad blocker apps. Unfortunately, there is a problem with that. The vast majority of Ad blockers in the Play Store are less than stellar, and you cannot rely on Play Store reviews these days.

Offering up a free Ad blocking service is also a surefire way to lure folks in if you are a developer with a shady application. As we all know, downloading a bad app can cause a whole new set of problems as your next stop may be searching for a Malware detector. We’ve compiled a short list featuring a few great options, but also have some tips to keep in mind as well.

Always keep in mind that some of your favorite websites need those ads to keep the lights on. That means you may want to choose an ad-blocking browser or program that lets you have exceptions. Some Ad blocker apps may also hamper functionality on certain sites.

So, what is the best ad blocker for android to stop ads from filling up your screen while using an app or browser? Installing an adblock android app will block any ads from showing up on your Android device, thus allowing you to use your favorite apps without being berated to ‘purchase this item,’ or ‘visit this site.’

The best Android ad block apps that will make your Android device ad-free

Adblock Plus for Android Ad blocker for Android

The first app on this list of “Ad blocker for Android” is adblock plus android, cannot be found on Google Playstore anymore as it has been removed. But fortunately, the team over at Adblock Plus is still offering the Android version on their website. (You can also grab the latest adblock plus apk here). The link above will provide you with instructions for using Adblock Plus on your Android device. While it may seem as if it is a lot of trouble to get an ad blocking app on your device, it certainly isn’t as Adblock Plus for android is one of the best and most trusted ad blocker apps available not only on Android, but Chrome, Firefox, and more. Download and install it: you will be glad you did.

There is also an official Adblock Plus add-on for Firefox Android browser. Open Firefox browser, Downlaod and Install the add-on, activate it then restart the Firefox app and enjoy ad-free browsing.

Free Adblocker Browser

Free Adblocker Browser for android
The Free Adblocker Browser is a solid option if you don’t mind switching from your normal browser are want something a little different graphically. As the name suggests, it will kill any Ad coming your way on the web. It also destroys pop-ups along with a slew of annoying “specialty” ads. Some of these include video ads and banner ads, but it can supposedly stop any sites trying to track your footsteps as well.

Whether it’s a shady cookie or an ad set up on auto-play, the Free Adblocker Browser app can cover most folks needs. The app (and its ad-blocking feature) are free to download and use although there are in-app purchases which allow for a few additional features and themes.

Adblock Browser

Like some of the other entries on our list, the Adblock Browser for Android is available in web form and on your smartphone or tablet. It isn’t much different from its ad-blocking competitors in the sense that its zaps most ads from websites including pop-ups. It’s also free to download which is always a plus.

REGISTER TODAY FOR YOUR KUBERNETES FOR DEVELOPERS (LFD259) COURSE AND CKAD CERTIFICATION TODAY! $499!

The Adblock Browser blocks all incoming ads by default but does allow users a measure of control. You can opt to let in advertising deemed nonintrusive or configure a list of filters based on different dialects. Depending on your browsing habits, that alone may be worth the price of admission. Nobody wanst to be assaulted with garbled foreign text. There are several other options that can help with your privacy as well by letting you disable tracking, anti-ad blocking messages, malware domains, and social media buttons.

AdGurd

Adgurd android ad blocker
Sometimes a browser with a pop-up blocker isn’t going to cut it. If that’s the case for you, you may want to look into Adguard for Android. The popular app promises to filter all the nastiness out of the web to give you a clean and trouble-free browsing experience. That said, you’re not going to be able to get the real deal through the usual means as Google does not like “true” ad blocking software for obvious reasons.

Adguard can block any ad coming your way through a browser, but can also kill advertisements in mobile games. Other features include a firewall, phishing and malware protection and increased web page speed. We’d be remiss if we didn’t also mention the built-in VPN, something you don’t see baked into many apps of this nature.

As it’s not available in the Play Store anymore, you will have to download the Adguard app through their website and follow a few simple installation instructions. On the flipside, there is a “content blocker” from the company anyone can pick up from the Play Store, but it is very limited unless you are rooted.

AppBrain Ad Detector

AppBrain Ad Detector app for android
While the AppBrain Ad Detector can block pop-ups and ads, the way it goes about it is different. It can actually “sniff” them out and goes far beyond just snooping for the usual piece of advertising. AppBrain can lock down spam ads and push notifications while detecting for harmful app networks. Staying true to its private eye nature, the app can actually let you see which tool developers used as well.

$199 ENROLLS YOU INTO OUR SELF PACED COURSE – LFS264 – OPNFV FUNDAMENTALS!

Using the AppBrain Ad Detector is simple for rookies and pros alike. There is a tab for “Concerns” which quickly allows you to see if any harm is headed your way. From there you can look at any ad networks that are connected along with social SDKs and Dev tools. It’s really a wealth of information if you’ve ever wondered about things like who Chick-fil-A’s advertising goes through.

It’s Admob just in case you’re curious, and their app does not use social SDK’s. AppBrain filled us in on those details, and it’s free to download from Google Play if you want to give it a whirl.

AdAway – root only

AdAway is another awesome option if you need something stronger than an ad-blocking browser or plug-in. It’s also an app that is only going to work for users who are rooted, which rules plenty of folks out. Is it worth the hassle? The answer is a resounding yes if you are concerned about your privacy and hate to be troubled with ads.

This particular application is setup with host files which hits any ads coming your way with a quick change of direction. The redirect effectively kills pop-ups, banner ads, and any advertisements shown in games as well. Want a bit more control over your content? The Whitelist option can take care of that. Techies will also appreciate the open-sourced nature of AdAway as it’s not going to be an app that goes long without an update.

AdAway is free to download through F-Droid, but again, you will need Root access. You can read more about the app on the official site if you are still on the fence.

TrustGo Ad Detector

TrustGo Ad Detector android ad blocker app

Are you wary of mobile ad networks collecting personal information through the apps that you use? TrustGo Ad Detector scans and dually protects your Android device from possible privacy violations and identity leaks that could occur via ads displayed within an Android app. Use your Android device with the clarity of mind to know that your personal information is safe and secure. An all-to-common occurrence, TrustGo Ad Detector is a different type of ad blocker, but one that will keep your personal information safe and secure.

How to install Apache Maven on CentOS 7

Apache Maven is a free and open source project management and comprehension tool used primarily for Java projects. Maven uses a Project Object Model (POM) which is essentially a XML file containing information about the project, configuration details, the project’s dependencies, and so on.

In this tutorial we will show you two different ways to install Apache Maven on CentOS 7.

The official CentOS repositories contains Maven packages that can be installed with the yum package manager. This is the easiest way to install Maven on CentOS, however the version included in the repositories may lag behind the latest version of Maven.

To install the latest version of Maven follow the instructions provided in second part of this article where we will be downloading Maven from their official website.

Choose the installation method that is most appropriate for your setup and environment.

Prerequisites

The user you are logging in as must have sudo privileges to be able to install packages.

Installing Apache Maven on CentOS with Yum

Installing Maven on CentOS 7 using yum is a simple, straightforward process.

  1. Install Maven by typing the following command in your terminal:
  2. Verify the installation by typing the mvn -version command:

    The output should look something like this:

    Apache Maven 3.0.5 (Red Hat 3.0.5-17)
    Maven home: /usr/share/maven
    Java version: 1.8.0_191, vendor: Oracle Corporation
    Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-0.el7_5.x86_64/jre
    Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
    OS name: “linux”, version: “3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64”, arch: “amd64”, family: “unix”

That’s it. Maven is now installed on your CentOS system and you can start using it.

Install the Latest Release of Apache Maven

The following sections provide a step by step instructions about how to install the latest Apache Maven version on CentOS 7. We’ll be downloading the latest release of Apache Maven from their official website.

1. Install OpenJDK

Maven 3.3+ require JDK 1.7 or above to be installed. We’ll install OpenJDK, which is the default Java development and runtime in CentOS 7.

Install the OpenJDK package by typing:

Verify that Java was successfully installed by running the following command:

The output should look something like this:

openjdk version “1.8.0_191”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_191-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)

2. Download Apache Maven

At the time of writing this article, the latest version of Apache Maven is 3.6.0. Before continuing with the next step you should check the Maven download page to see if a newer version is available.

Start by downloading the Apache Maven in the /tmp directory using the following wget command:

wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.6.0/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.0-bin.tar.gz -P /tmp

When the download is completed, extract the archive in the /opt directory:

sudo tar xf /tmp/apache-maven-3.6.0.tar.gz -C /opt

To have more control over Maven versions and updates, we will create a symbolic link maven which will point to the Maven installation directory:

sudo ln -s /opt/apache-maven-3.6.0 /opt/maven

To upgrade your Maven installation, simply unpack the newer version and change the symlink to point to it.

3. Setup environment variables

Next, we’ll need to setup the environment variables. Open your text editor and create a new file named mavenenv.sh inside of the /etc/profile.d/ directory.

sudo nano /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

Paste the following lines:

/etc/profile.d/maven.sh

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-openjdk
export M2_HOME=/opt/maven
export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven
export PATH=$/bin:$

Save and close the file. This script will be sourced at shell startup.

Make the script executable by typing:

sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

Load the environment variables by typing:

source /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

4. Verify the installation

To verify that Maven is installed, use the mvn -version command which will print the Maven version:

You should see something like the following:

Apache Maven 3.6.0 (97c98ec64a1fdfee7767ce5ffb20918da4f719f3; 2018-10-24T18:41:47Z)
Maven home: /opt/maven
Java version: 1.8.0_191, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-0.el7_5.x86_64/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: “linux”, version: “3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64”, arch: “amd64”, family: “unix”

That’s it. The latest version of Maven is now installed on your CentOS system.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Apache Maven on your CentOS 7. You can now visit the official Apache Maven Documentation page and learn how to get started with Maven.

Stealth and hacking game ‘OFF GRID’ fully funded and heading to Linux

OFF GRID, a stealth and hacking game about privacy and mass surveillance managed to get funded on Kickstarter and so it’s coming to Linux.

Moments before your daughter was bundled away, she gave you a pair of smart glasses for your birthday.

An unidentified source gets in touch to help you install a new security-focused operating system, and gives you a few tools which will help you gain access to networks that might contain clues as to what is going on.

In the end, they managed to hit £25,252 which means they smashed through not just their initial goal but the first stretch goal too so the game will get an in-game social media app.

I personally funded this one, since they put out a Linux demo and the developer came and commented on our previous article. Some people get rightfully worried about developers promising Linux support and not delivering, to which the developer commented with:

Hah, we certainly won’t abandon Linux, I’ve used Ubuntu as my main OS since 2005 and do most of my gaming on it. So making sure our own project runs on it is high priority to us.

Was really good to see such a statement.

Looking forward to following this one along during development, has the makings of a very interesting game both in terms of the story and the gameplay.

Download Qubes OS 4.0 / 4.0.1 RC1

Qubes OS is an open source distribution of Linux built around the Xen hypervisor, the X Window System and Linux kernel open source technologies. It is based on Fedora Linux and designed from the ground up to provide users with strong security for desktop computing.

The distribution has been engineered to run almost all Linux applications and uses all of the drivers implemented in the Linux kernel to automatically detect and configure most hardware components (new and old).

Features at a glance

Key features include a secure bare-metal hypervisor powered by the Xen project, secure system boot, support for Windows-based and Linux-based AppVMs (Application Virtual Machines), as well as centralized updates for all AppVMs that are based on the same template.

In order to sandbox several core components and isolate certain applications from each other, Qubes OS uses virtualization technology. Therefore, the integrity of the rest of the system will not be compromised.

Distributed as Live DVD

It is distributed as a single Live DVD ISO image, supporting only the 64-bit (x86_64) hardware platform, which can be deployed to a USB flash drive or 4GB or bigger, as well as burned onto a DVD disc. From the boot menu, users can try or install the operating system.

The installation process is text-based and allows users to set a timezone, choose the installation source, select software packages to be installed, select the installation destination, set the root password, and create users.

Uses the KDE Plasma desktop environment

The default desktop environment is powered by the KDE Plasma Workspaces and Applications project, which comprises of a single taskbar located on the upper part of the screen, from where users can access the main menu, launch apps, and interact with running programs.

Bottom line

In conclusion, Qubes OS is a unique Fedora-based operating system that implements a “security by isolation” approach and uses lightweight virtual machines called AppVMs that are definable by users.

Volunteers last verified that all services in this section were up, or marked as DOWN, on: 2011-06-08 For configuration and service/uptime testing, all services in this section MUST list the active port in their address. Exception: HTTP on 80, HTTPS on 443. For help with configuration, see the TorifyHOWTO and End-to-end connectivity issues.

Running P2P protocols within Tor requires OnionCat. Therefore, see the OnionCat section for those P2P services. IMPORTANT: It is possible to use Tor for P2P. However, if you do, the right thing must also be done by giving back the bandwidth used. Otherwise, if this is not done, Tor will be crushed taking everyone along with it.

Chat centric services

Some people and their usual server hangouts may be found in the Contact Directory.

IRC

Use e.g. ChatZilla add-on for the IRC protocol (the Tor Project does not suggest installing browser addons unless you understand the risks), or a standalone client such as HexChat. Tails comes with Pidgin, which will work for IRC as well.

Do not simply remove services that appear to be offline from the above list! Services can go down temporarily, so we keep track of when they do and maintain a list of dead hidden services.

  • In addition to an onion simply being gone (Tor cannot resolve the onion), sites that display 404 (and use a known onion/URL based hosting service) are the only other thing that is considered truly DOWN. Presumably the account is gone.
  1. If a service has been down for a while, tag it with ‘ – DOWN YYYY-MM-DD’ (your guess as to when it went down).
  2. If a tagged service on the above list of live hidden services has come back up, remove the DOWN tag.
  3. If a tagged service is still down after a month, please move it (along with the DOWN tag) to the list of dead hidden services.
  • The general idea of the remaining four service states below is that, if the Hidden Service Descriptor is available, and something is responding behind it… the service is considered up, and we track that fact on the Main Page. If any of these subsequently go offline, append the DOWN tag and handle as above.
  1. Hello world’s / statements, minimal sites, services with low user activity, etc (while boring)… are listed as usual.
  2. Broken services are those that display 404 (and do not use a known hosting service), PHP or other errors (or they fail silently)… any of which prevent the use of the service as intended. They also include blank pages, empty dirs and neglected status notes. Presumably the operator is in limbo. Broken services are tagged with ‘ (reason) – Broken YYYY-MM-DD’ (your guess as to when it went broken)
  3. Services that automatically redirect to another service (such as by HTTP protocol or script), have their redirection destinations noted in their descriptions. These are tagged with ‘ – Redir YYYY-MM-DD’ (your guess as to when it went redir)
  4. Sites that are formally closed via announcement are tagged with ‘ – Closed YYYY-MM-DD’ (your guess as to when it went closed.
  • Is Online that HiddenService? This service is very useful in determining whether onions are up or not. It also gives a reason why they are down.

Sites on this list that have no chance of coming back (LE takedowns, dead for some time) should be archived to page dead services just in case they should ever be needed.

  • CYRUSERV – Hosting service with an emphasis on security, with many features. (clearnet) [Discontinued 2016]]
