What are /r/UbuntuPodcast's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The stable PPA is only available for 16.04/10 at the moment. However, as 17.04 has just been released, I'm assuming it will already have the latest stable version. The xorg-edgers PPA is available for 17.04, but this is built from the latest version in Git so may be unstable.

The standard keepassx2 utility is riddled with little flaws and paper-cuts - like it doesn't have a password generator you can use separate from your database entries.

There's a list of the features added in the Community Edition fork.

Thanks for mentioning Recent Notifications. I have installed it on Ubuntu 18.04 and rebooted but cannot see any icon, nor any way using it. Can anyone help me?

I donate to Wikipedia at least once per year. I donate to the Software Freedom Conservancy every month, as well backing Ubuntu MATE on patreon. I also donate to EFF and to ESR every now and again.

I decided many years ago, simply talking about free software wasn't enough and decided to put my money where my mouth was and give back more than just advocacy and time.

One feature of youtube-dl that is very cool is it's ability pull down metadata along with the video. One option allows you to embed this metadata into the video itself using xattributes.

--add-metadata Write metadata to the video file --xattrs Write metadata to the video file's xattrs (using dublin core and xdg standards)

This means you can have a complete record of the show notes or other descriptions. I have used it to pull down a food bloggers video's complete with recipes and put them into a scripting app that will let me search for a recipe by name or ingredients and then find the video or videos with that key in them.

Another pretty cool tool based on youtube-dl is mps-youtube a terminal based youtube downloader and player. You can search, watch playlist read comments and either play the video or just audio as you want to.

It is written in python and is really very elegant for what it does.

But.... there is no snap of it yet ;)

Hi guys and girls, great show as always...

Just wanted to throw my opinion in about Private Internet Access, I can highly recommend them. For a few dollars a month, the give me connections to up to 5 devices which covers my phone and a couple of laptops. I've had no issues what so-ever (from Australia) and speed loss has been minimal if any at all.

Martin, a quick question for you.. I use openbox as my window manager on Mate...just the way I have worked for years. I can't change I'm sorry lol.. But I can't seem to find the command that invokes the open menu, so I can rebind it in my Openbox rc file. Question was posted here, but no solution yet...
