Privacy and Free Speech (Edward Snowden)

RobbiNespu — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 00:05:00 +0000

Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say

Please ensure the development packages for
Qt are installed by using your distribution's package manager.

 * Aborting now to save a lot of wasted time.
 * export KDESRC_BUILD_IGNORE_MISSING_PROGRAMS=1 and re-run (perhaps with --no-src)
 * to continue anyways. If this check was in error please report a bug against
 * kdesrc-build at https://bugs.kde.org/

So I asked about this on devel@lists.fedoraproject.org mailing list properly. The hint are to check with dnf provides '*/bin/qmake' so the correct package I was looking for are “qt5-qtbase-devel”

$ dnf provides qmake-qt5

another good hint from Rex Dieter to just use builddep to find the requirement / dependencies / packages that needed to build the target software as example:

Use this - GrepWin [Windows]

RobbiNespu — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 05:45:00 +0000

If you are linux enthusiast users then you know how to “grep” and how useful this tools.

Sadly, there is no built - in tool on Windows that can beat “grep”. So I looking for third party software and found this tool called as “ GrepWin ”.

It licensed under “GPL-3.0 License”. Oh, please take note it only can be use if you are using Windows 7 SP1 and above, It won’t work on Windows XP or Vista!

My favourite assistant

Plus option like file size, include hidden folder, include system folder, include binary file etc. The best part is it allow you to create backup when replacing text / strings is there if you need.

It also fast and not hang up when executed. I already tried searching with 18,000 files and it work very well. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Since it opensource, you can visit https://github.com/stefankueng/grepWin repository to fork and contribute. For binary file, you can download from github release page directly.

Use this - My favourite tools

RobbiNespu — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 05:12:00 +0000

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone,

I plan to create some blog post section called “Use This”. Have you heard “Use this” before? It about a collection of nerdy interviews asking people from all walks of life what they use to get the job done. But I not going to interview anyone except myself.

Yeah, I gonna post about what softwares, tools, script that I use. It my personal preferences of choices what you want to use and I will just recommend what I use. Maybe this kind of blog post will be useful and I also can jot down my settings and tweaks for everyone and my future references.

It will be cross platform, so Windows and Linux will be listed together. No worries. I will covers opensource, free and commercial software. Each post will hold only just one tools. Not just like regular “use this” interview that put all they favourite into one posts.

Wish me goodluck and not lazy to write down.. haha 😜

Software War (Keith Curtis)

RobbiNespu — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 07:34:00 +0000

Hello there! Do you know who Keith Curtis? If yes then good! If no and you are someone who using opensource software then you should get to know who are this guy.

I never meet him personally but I my love with linux start with Debian and I like to read his blog about debian, opensource vs proprietary software, questioning about Ubuntu existant etc (which is how this thing lead me to his weblog 10 years ago).. I just silent reader, I read this articles including everyone comments which I believe everyone have they own implicit objective and mutual objective for everything about IT.

Ok, sorry for the crap introduction taking too long. Today, I visited his weblog and found out he releasing “Software Wars, the Movie”.

You can download the torrent file HERE or watch it on the Peertube that he already setup.

P/s: If you wonder which articles lead me to his weblog 10 years ago..then let me tell you. That articles was “Should Ubuntu Have Been Created?”. From the title itself you can already smell how controversial yet so brave. Even Mark Shuttleworth come and leave a comment there.

RobbiNespu — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 07:18:00 +0000

Have you heard keyword such as intellectual property, copyright, pattern, watermark, plagiarize etc? Well of coz you heard it everywhere. It all about licenses and permission.

If someone creating opensource software, we normally heard it under “Free and open-source software software licenses” such as GNU GPL, BSD, Apache, MIT, Mozilla public, Common public and many more.

How about books, plays, movies, music, articles, photographs, blogs, and websites? Okey,it is also eligible to file for a license. Creative Common license (CC) is one of several public copyright licenses we can use.

The CC licenses are appropriate for all types of content you want to share publicly, except software and hardware. The CC licenses all grant the “baseline rights”, such as the right to distribute the copyrighted work worldwide, for non-commercial purposes and without modification.

The details of each of these licenses depend on the version, and comprises a selection out of four conditions:

Icon	Right	Description
	Attribution (BY)	Licensees may copy, distribute, display and perform the work and make derivative works and remixes based on it only if they give the author or licensor the credits (attribution) in the manner specified by these. Since version 2.0, all Creative Commons licences require attribution to the creator and include the BY element.

mambang.org.my - Oshirix operating system (linux) [Sistem Operasi buatan anak Malaysia]

RobbiNespu — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 03:25:00 +0000

bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Assalamualaikum wbt dan salam sejahtera kepada semua pembaca..

Ok kali ni aku nak cover-up sebuah portal dan produk yang dah hilang dari radar since 2011 (kalau tak silap) hingga kini. Penulisan ini adalah berdasarkan penglibatan aku secara tak langsung dan pengalaman bersama komuniti tersebut.

Komuniti “Mambang.org” atau “Mambang.org.my” atau lebih mudah disebut “Mambang” adalah sebuah komuniti opensource tempatan yang sangat berahsia dan misteri tapi mempunyai banyak khazanah dan produk yang bagus.

Produk apa yang bagus sangat tu? Okey, untuk pengetahuan semua, tuan admin punya portal yang hanya dikenali sebagai Oshiri telah re-master (pada permulaan nya) dan build from scratch / remix / re-spin (setelah pro) sebuah sistem operasi yang diberi nama OshiriX.

Ok, aku akan cerita pengenalan aku dengan mambang, boleh skit kalau tak minat dan baca header seterusnya. Aku malas nak split-up cerita personal dan topik ni, sebab memang berkait rapat dengan kisah aku involve dunia IT.

Pengenalan - aku dan mambang

Waktu sekolah menengah dulu, aku agak ketagih dengan surfing (sebab aku minat membaca), plus waktu tu popular dengan web 2.0 seperti MySpace dan Friendster. Jadi internet adalah buruan aku dan cybercafe adalah tempat biasa aku lepak habiskan duit..LoL

Pendek citer, aku bukan kaki game. Kalu main pun comfirm aku kena buli (no0b). Game biasa aku main pun cuma half-life, CS-Go, Serious Sam, GTA dan game arked (simulator). Daripada statement ni, kau nampak kan aku guna sistem operasi apa? Ya, aku similiar dengan sistem operasi Microsoft je.

Suatu hari tu, member aku (kita panggil dia azOne) ada invite dan suggest aku lepak dengan dia. Katanya dia ada port CC (short form untuk CyberCafe) yang best dan free.. time tu memang negeri Terengganu aktif dengan sumber terbuka dan strategi celik IT melalui syarikat anak negeri dengan program pusat komuniti Bestari (Bestari.Comm) , sebab free..memang la aku tak tolak..kah kah

Port CC ni macam special sikit, sebab dibina macam kontena / bungker dan duduk sebelah pejabat pusat khidmat masyarakat dun Rantau Abang. Pengurus Bescom aka EIO (Executive Information Officer) tu nama dia Abang Syam atau lebih famous dengan nickname “Charm aragon” memang penyokong tegar sumber terbuka, so dia built-up cybercafe tersebut dengan dual boot windows XP dan linux opensuse 10 (kalau tak silap aku). Dia set linux as default dan Windows XP as second boot.

Kalau nak guna PC kena tulis nama (haha.. kelakor plak kalau ingat balik), guna berapa jam pun takde hal, no limit! Tapi time lunch dan habis office hour, kau kena lah blah dari situ.

Aku masih ingat, bila ON je PC tetiba kuar loading pelik. Dia suh select OS (GRUB la tu, aku tak kenal dulu) dalam masa 10 saat. Lom sempat aku buat keputusan dia terus boot-up linux gambor cicak hijau (opensuse). Aku dah heran, kenapa interface pelik ni! Alien gila.. aku click la untuk log-in dan tetiba keluar notice “sila hubungi administrator untuk menggunakan komputer” , fuh padu dah macam software Antamedia atau handyCafe yang control PC tu. Apa lagi, aku tanya la AzOne “woi, macam mana ni!?”, selambe je kawan aku tu jerit “Abang syam, tolong open PC nih” dari row belakang (kedudukan pc kitaorg). Pop, terus je unlock dan sedia untuk digunakan.

Untuk pengetahuan, aku waktu tu dah terer nak by-pass software CC seperti handyCafe dan sebagainya. Plus, software DeepFreeze pun aku dah tahu cara macamana nak godam. Registry, services kat windows pun aku terer exploit. Tapi kali ni aku clueless, salah taip “keyword” terus kena block / reported (squid proxy dah wujud), download kadang kadang hilang kalau reboot (tak semua location boleh save, aku syak dia custom script bash yang nih). Browser pun pelik, tak macam Firefox atau Internet Exporer, aku rasa ralat (by default akan guna aplikasi Konqueror, memang UI dia pelik sampai sekarang),. Interface pun aku tak berapa faham (Guna KDE desktop enviroment). Path location pun pelik, duk slash sana sini (linux kan banyak guna terminal dan back slash)…agrhh, tension aku pakai linux nih!

Di sebabkan aku jenis curiosity tinggi, aku pun study la menda alah ni semua. Aku mula faham la sikit-sikit. Waktu tu Ubuntu distro dah wujud, aku pun heran kenapa tak pakai Ubuntu (sebab Ubuntu user friendly). Hmmm.. pelik kan? Kau rasa kenapa? Kat bawah aku ada citer. Sila baca hehe..

Dari sekolah menengah sampai diploma, aku still hangout tempat sama bila aku balik kampung. Tambahan pula rumah aku takde internet. Harga beruk-band (broadband 3g) time tu macam harga yahudi tel-aviv. Cuma beza dia aku dah ada laptop sendiri, brand HP model CQ40 (Compaq Presario CQ40), beli pakai duit loan PTPTN sebab aku amik bidang IT dah waktu tu, so komputer memang keperluan. Laptop ni aku beli pun, aku tiru kawan aku (takde ilmu beli gadjet). Ok sambung cerita, kadang-kadang aku mintak kebenaran dengan Abang Syam tu direct connect internet pakai kable kat laptop aku. Alasan biasa “for research purposes”. Dia Okey je, maybe dah rapat kot.

Nak jadikan citer, suatu hari tu laptop aku (lupa nak cakap, aku guna windows je) asyik BSOD (blue screen of death).. stress aku, nak tengok anime dan movie tak boleh..eh silap nak wat assignment dan projek tak boleh :P

Aku mintak tolong Charm Aragon tengok-tengok kan, kasi santau apa yang patut sebab dia pun part-time amik job repair laptop. Kata dia “RAM kau problem ni”, waktu tu RAM 4GB DDR2-667MHz harga yahudi tel-aviv, aku pun sengket sebab takde wat partime pape (padam muka aku, time cuti semeter asyik lepak je).

So dia cadangkan dual-boot dengan linux, kata dia linux ni power untuk filter bit-bits RAM aku yang kiok tu. Aku tanya la, “nak sumbat Ubuntu ke?” , fuh kena sound aku dengan otai opensource lepas aku tanya tu.. haha, sebab Ubuntu ni penyokong besor LGBT dan buatkan dunia opensource kucar-kacir seluruh dunia time tu (untuk info, geng LGBT ni tak femes dan tak banyak dapat sokongan, tak sama mcam sekarang, ish ish..korang la punca, sebab support Ubuntu haha). Kat situ la bermula kisah lawak Ubuntu-gay lahanat.

Geng-geng LoCo Ubuntu Malaysia jangan marah ye..hihi.. ok sambung cerita semula.

Abang syam kebetulan ada salinan CD distro Oshirix SPE (maaf aku tak ingat version yang mana, CD dia pun ada kat kampung, nanti la aku update balik sini, yang pasti based on Knoppix). Dia kasi CD tu dan suruh aku buat sendiri dual boot.

Nasib baik menjadi aku partition semua tu, ya betul la cakap dia. Alhamdulillah masih boleh guna laptop aku tu. Disini lah titik permulaan aku serious explore linux dan sumber terbuka. Aku mula kenal dan tahu macam mana nak cari dan install package daripada repo dan setup itu-ini. This is my starting point getting serious with OSS (Opensource software). Aku mula lepak dengan geng mambang, lepak virtual kat IRC dan forum.

To be honest, aku benci layout discussion forum kat portal mambang tu sebab guna Xoops cms.IRC pula tempat banyak diorg share ilmu, tapi aku selalu missed sebab tak sentiasa online.

Tagline mambang ialah “Don’t Be Pussy, Dies Out curiosity” (sayang betul takde backup gambor header banner). Tak silap aku, Fakyutuyu yang design banner dia. Geng dengan diaorg ni best, sebab dia tak spoonfed dan tak lokek ilmu. Cuma satu jelah, satu perkara benda misteri……. sape admin aka Oshiri tu sebenarnya?? Entah la bro..

Btw aku pernah shout (chatbox), mentioned “dont be sepi, dies out kari” …masin jari aku (sebab aku taip pakai jari). Akhirnya komuniti ni jadi sepi..hmmm sedih

Pengenalan - Portal Mambang dan asal-usul

Setakat yang aku tahu, portal mambang ni dibuka oleh Oshiri dan kawan-kawan sebab diorang gaduh dengan geng BSD (ye dlu, BSD ramai geng,Sekarang kurang dah rasanya), gaduh antara fans-linux sendiri iaitu RPM dan DEB based, gaduh dengan moderator, cari pasal dengan orang kuat MIMOS. Macam berlaku clash of interest gitu la. macam-macam, tapi aku tak nampak geng mambang ni salah. Sebab diorang share ilmu, then datang plak manusia sombong pergi perli-perli. Tak syok la sayang.

Geng ni semua mostly guna portal PDC (PuteraDotCom / putera.com) untuk bersembang dan berdebat. Tapi sebab diorg malas nak cari masalah, so di bikin la portal sendiri iaitu Mambang iaitu nama komuniti entah mana diorang dapat. Klu minat baca cerita dari syumul boleh refer sini

Ada juga cerita pasal Shanai (admin putera.com) mintak RM 1 (aku ada arkib web bekap diorang kat sini). Sesiapa yang nak share ilmu atau mengajar kat webforum diorg. Ish ada ke patut. Gila ke apa. Pastu cakap nak kasi honorium. Klu nak kasi, kasi je honorium. Takyah la charges atas usaha orang kongsi ilmu. Apa ke pelik..

Putera forum pun pernah kiok (katanya kena attack, yeke), pastu muncul balik but then nasib sama “sepi jadi kari”. Hmm, ni la masalah, kalau kau buat web forum komuniti.. strongest assets ialah KOMUNITI iaitu geng-geng ni semua. Forum kau pun untuk perkongsian. Sorang demi sorang tarik diri, tambah pulak admin jarang aktif. Hmmm.. korang yang baca ni, amik iktibar ya. Kalau nak syok sendiri, buat blog macam aku je. kah kah~

Tapi aku notis yang Oshiri mentioned dia sama umur dengan Shanai, dah tua katanya. so maybe Oshiri dah tua dan dah kembali ke alam seterusnya. Peminat dan student oshiri ni ramai, tengok la vote lantik moderator, tak nak pegang jawatan pun boleh menang beb. Fight dengan Sharuzzaman dan arwah Terunasuci tuu..otai semua. Ok, sambung cerita asal semula..

Domain pertama ialah mambang.org, then kiok dalam setahun dua..hilang dari radar tapi masih wujud kat IRC. Tak lama kemudian, muncul balik dengan domain baru iaitu mambang.org.my pastu mati, hidup, mati, hidup dan mati terus sampai sekarang.

Ni cerita setakat apa aku tahu, sori kalau melalut sebab dulu aku suka main cedok je info dan kebetulan juga aku copy benda best letak kat blog aku iaitu “OshiriX Journal”, aku buat blog tu sebab aku kena buat assignment pasal OS linux dlu. Haha.. so sebab mambang ni berahsia sangat, aku jadikan blog tu sebagai main source (cerita dalam assignment aku, sebenarnya tak pun). Plus, dari awal aku dah mentioned blog tu bukan official. Al maklum, aku budak belum mumayyiz waktu tu.

Forum ni ada penunggu setia seperti aku, oshiri, leadtime, ciku, charm, blank, mumtazah, siput, simulator, c0re9, jenal, yny, badrbaharuddin, danny, wave125, b1naryc0de, nix, LowKey, wanex, Hardyweb aka Adi aka psychoX, wariola, Maui, FryShadow, ayoi, ak47suk1, enn0suke, syumul, enno, lon3star,tuah, ganux, padli, lanun jalanan, Alvarez, mixk, Khaidir, kred, dvd dan lain-lain (manalah aku ingat semua!).

Tu je sikit-sebanyak introduction. Nanti aku sambung cerita pasal produk dan resepi komuniti ni serta dengan screenshot (buat kenang-kenangan). Insyallah…

Wassalam wbt

GUADEC 2020 + Covid-19 = Online Conference

RobbiNespu — Sun, 21 Jun 2020 12:41:00 +0000

Few days ago, someone posted GUADEC (the GNOME Users And Developers European Conference) invitation on Gnome Malaysia telegram group.

To be honest, I did’t alert too much what event happening around but I think GUADEC is worth to steal my attention because I am Gnome lover and this is good chances to join the event because this year, GUADEC 2020 will take place entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So you (me and someone else who far from europe) don’t need to go europe to join :P

Maybe most of participant actualy will be sad because unable see each other in person this year. But this will be open oppurtunity for someone who cannot affort for travel if held as usual but now they can!

We are very pleased to be continuing our support of @guadec this year as the conference moves into the digital space and we look forward to taking part!

Thanks to everyone putting in the effort to get the event ready online! https://t.co/URj7emUD30 #opensource #linux @gnome

Fixed: Android license status unknown (flutter)

Based on previous post, I have problem with flutter installation. Seems flutter -doctor keep saying android license status unknown and no sdk tool directory create when installing Android Studio 3.6.1 ❓

So here the solution, open your SDK manager then uncheck Hide Obsolete Packages

I am using Android Studio 3.6.1 on my windows 10 and there is no C:\Users%user%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin directory created…this is so weird

the step I take is to install Android SDK command line tool (latest) from SDK tool

After Android SDK command line tool (latest) installed, open terminal (i am using Git Bash) navigate to C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME_HERE>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmdline-tools\latest\bin and execute ./sdkmanager.bat --licenses then accept all SDK package licences and expecting this should solve the problem…

Unfortunately this still does’t work with flutter doctor.. dang! Do you know how to solve it? This issue already reported here #51712
