Managing EFI Boot Loaders for Linux
With the rising availability of Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI) computers, there's an increasing need to configure EFI boot loaders, particularly in multi-boot environments. The way EFI computers boot is very different from the way older computers based on the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) boot. This fact is both positive and negative. On the plus side, the EFI boot method is much more flexible and, in theory, easier to configure than is the BIOS boot method. On the minus side, existing documentation and personal skills are often built around BIOS, which can make setting up an EFI-based system tricky. There's also the fact that EFI support in Linux distributions is much newer than BIOS support, so there tend to be more EFI glitches.Tue Oct 18 17:28:58 2016 - permalink -- http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/

Computer Laboratory: Capsicum: practical capabilities for UNIX
Capsicum is a lightweight OS capability and sandbox framework developed at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, supported by grants from Google, the the FreeBSD Foundation, and DARPA. Capsicum extends the POSIX API, providing several new OS primitives to support object-capability security on UNIX-like operating systems:Thu Sep 1 17:23:54 2016 - permalink -
capabilities - refined file descriptors with fine-grained rights
capability mode - process sandboxes that deny access to global namespaces
process descriptors - capability-centric process ID replacement
anonymous shared memory objects - an extension to the POSIX shared memory API to support anonymous swap objects associated with file descriptors (capabilities)
rtld-elf-cap - modified ELF run-time linker to construct sandboxed applications
libcapsicum - library to create and use capabilities and sandboxed components
libuserangel - library allowing sandboxed applications or components to interact with user angels, such as Power Boxes.
chromium-capsicum - a version of Google's Chromium web browser that uses capability mode and capabilities to provide effective sandboxing of high-risk web page rendering.- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/

rdiff-backup: Main
diff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.Sat Mar 19 22:12:32 2016 - permalink -
Version 1.2.8, released March 16th 2009
Includes a windows version.- http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/index.html

Linux Future | Posted on 2012-08-22 by papp
Some time ago I came across yet another angry discussion[1] about systemd, and have been reading and thinking a great deal about the design of Systemd, and what it says about Linux. I’ve come to realize that the strife in the Linux community is because an active and well-funded group of developers who have been driving the direction of various core components are not building UNIX.Tue Dec 22 14:19:14 2015 - permalink -- http://pappp.net/?p=969

http://ecryptfs.org/about.html
eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacked filesystem for Linux. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decrypted with the proper key in the Linux kernel keyring. There is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself. You may think of eCryptfs as a sort of "gnupg as a filesystem".Tue Apr 28 10:44:30 2015 - permalink -- http://ecryptfs.org/about.html
