Thanks for this. There are many useful volumes here but one of the most 
interesting to me was A Beginners Guide to Python 3 Programming (Hunt), 
which unfortunately is illegible. Both epub and pdf are of identical 
size as reported by the system (about 13K). Looked at in Emacs it seems 
to be some kind of binary index file. The hard copy book is 433 pp. Even 
plain text couldn't be compressed that much.

Thanks,
Ed

In my 'grab' of the goodies - - - - I do have a readable (just a quick scan of
the pdf seems to have no missing pages) copy. I think it would be appropriate
if I were to send you a copy of such file if you so desired.
Please advise.

Thanks, BT. Are you sure that you are not looking at _406 Advanced Guide 
to Python 3 Programming	_ also by John Hunt, 1st ed. 2019-? That one is 
legible. I just downloaded the Beginners book (#405) again and it shows 
13531 bytes for both epub and pdf. Maybe Hunt decided not to give away 
the Beginners book.

Ed

p.s. If you really do have #405, I would like a copy.

Hey Man, thanks for the offer! (that's a pun).
Another member of tclug was kind enough to send me the Beginner's Guide. 
The other one that would download only some kind of 13K preamble was 
"Plant Anatomy," but that one is huge (about 150 MB according to the 
first good Samaritan). If anyone has something like Google Drive that 
they could upload it to, I would be grateful for a shareable link. 
Otherwise, I could get along without it. I did download one at a time 
about 50 others.
Now I would like to know why this glitch cropped up but I am not likely 
to figure it out. I am only an occasional user of linux (mint 19) and I 
know almost nothing about python.

Thanks,

Ed

It looks like many of them are incomplete…. I’m running a wget on all the titles right now and many are coming up as 404.

Subject: [tclug-list] Old SCSI drive
Message-ID: <87imhctoxj.fsf@wookimus.net>

TL;DR: Found an old 50 pin SCSI internal drive and would like to extract
the data without spending $$$. Would anyone have a SCSI to USB adapter
cable, such as were used on the Iomega Jazz or USB2Xchange from Adaptec?

My son's computer has a molex connector that we could leach power from
and try the scsi->usb trick to pull the data. eBay's $150 just isn't
worth it. If you have a spare one that you could ship to me, I'll
reimburse you for shipping and whatever you think is reasonable.

Alternative is to have my son take a drill to the drive before we
recycle it. (Probably do that anyway.)

So there are other options that aren’t $150. 
I understand not spending money on this but here’s a $50 option:
https://www.amazon.com/aCard-LVD-SCSi-Bridge-Adapter-AEC-7722/dp/B00BNHQ3BE/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=IDE+to+SCSI&qid=1588566237&s=electronics&sr=1-8 <https://www.amazon.com/aCard-LVD-SCSi-Bridge-Adapter-AEC-7722/dp/B00BNHQ3BE/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=IDE+to+SCSI&qid=1588566237&s=electronics&sr=1-8>

+ an IDE to USB adapter and you shold be in business.

Brilliant! I have an IDE/SATA->USB adapter already for just this
occasion. Perfect.

I ran this a second time with just the 18 failed books in a new
Free+English+textbooks.xlsx fileand they failed again with the same
error.
Fortunately I believe my initial downloads last Thursday grabbed good
copies of these 18 files as the original downloads were significantly
larger in size.
Unfortunately I don't yet have Google drive set up at the moment.

FYI ... main.py was updated just this morning and it fixed a few of the 
issues I was having in downloading some of the books. If you only want 
one or two books the URL for the title is listed in the XLS file and you 
can just use that to access and download the books.

I first tried to setup the download automatically, so that I can trim it
down to get what I wanted. I had some issues, but that is not the point.

I realized that it was completely wasteful to do the full download just
because it was possible. I found that going through the list and pasting
the 2nd URL to a browser and manually getting the books I wanted worked
great. I got most of the maths and stats on the list, some QM and some
in other topics that interest me. I a mgrateful for this.

I encourage you to not be wasteful either, and not download 450 books you
will not end up reading.

I don't know if there are books on this, but I presume your "QM" means 
Quantum Mechanics. If so, please recall we discussed the "Center for 
Quantum Molecular Design" at Stanford University and how it might 
pertain to process chemistry of "biomass." You referred to some U of M 
prof doing similar.

Now, Michael Moore has a free movie, "Planet of the Humans" on you tube. 
Apparently, money is chasing biomass looking for a process technology. 
My guess is the money already knows the winning ticket in the "renewable 
energy" game. "Solar Biofuel."

I'm way too old to read this stuff. Just working like a man 40 years 
younger. Maybe apply your skills to a very different line of work??

Haven't you ever gone to a book store or library to browse for
interesting books?
I bet most of us have since we're typically life-long learners on this
mailing list.

How would I have known Semiotics was something interesting enough to
read about had I not browsed the download collection and found "Of
Cigarettes, High Heels, and Other Interesting Things_3rd ed. 2018.pdf"?

It's much easier to browse the collection locally and purge what I find
uninteresting or purge a reference I'm not interested in keeping.

pfSense is very powerful in the L2/L3 sense, but I'm looking for something
that does "things that a firewall shouldn't" like content filtering and
captive portal.  pfSense can do that, sort of, but it's obviously not what
it's designed for.

I found a fork of pfSense called OPNsense,  It has all the beauty of
pfSense with the additional features that I'm wanting to play with.  It
looks very promising.

Thanks everyone for the responses!

Subject: [tclug-list] how might i run the bionic sshd in focal?
Message-ID: <CAD+dB9BzfC8QVhz_pp8z3CxyDGg48xbNQsjZQ0Uga-fg=a5E5A@mail.gmail.com>

focal sshd doesn't answer VX Connectbot.  no idea why.  no problem with
bionic sshd, even if invoked on the focal kernel.  tried to simply
substitute bionic /usr/sbin/sshd into focal, wouldn't start.  works in a
bionic chroot on focal, but from there tunnels don't connect.  i submitted
a bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1877496>, but
i'm not holding my breath for a resolution.

so next i thought i'd try to install the bionic openssh-server package in
focal.  perhaps can be done with dpkg, probably pretty straightforward, but
not very robust.  what i'm wondering is if there might be a way to specify
the most recent available bionic version of openssh-server, satisfying
dependencies from bionic as needed but preferring focal for most of
everything.  any apt-get experts here?

I also had L7 needs.. specifically, I needed to be able to block YouTube on the kids Chromebooks during the schoolday to give us a reasonable chance that they would get their homework done when not having an adult look directly over their shoulder. I initially tried OpenWRT with it's DNS inspection feature, but that ended up blocking many other Google services that the kids needed for school, like Google Drive. I concluded that I needed a firewall that supported forced tls inspection without decryption (so I wouldn't have to push root certificates to all the devices), and after digging around, ended up using the free version of Sophos XG. It's been working well so far; the inspection works as desired, and it's easy to override if needed. It is also handling WAN load balancing and failover between cable, DSL, and LTE nicely. I wish it was open source.. but I'm willing to live with it for now.

(When Encrypted SNI becomes widespread, this method won't work anymore, and you'll have to use a proxy that requires pushing a root certificate to the client. Sophos also supports this, but hopefully I won't need it any more once the kids aren't doing school from home.)

well in focal i added bionic defs into /etc/apt/sources.list and ran
apt-get --auto-remove --purge install openssh-server/bionic
openssh-sftp-server/bionic
which did as asked.  but sshd wouldn't start.  well it was worth a try.
