Features
AirPrint
Printing on Air
If your home network includes a Linux machine, you have access to everything you need to share your printers on the network as AirPrint-enabled devices.
MediaGoblin
Set up your own media-sharing site with MediaGoblin
The same way that “ease of use” usually equates to less flexibility, “convenience” is nearly always synonymous with less privacy. And, YouTube nowadays is very, very convenient, if you catch my drift. So, if you just want to share a video and not all of your personal data, or you want to avoid rude users from commenting on your kids’ videos, MediaGoblin is what you need.

Communication in the Post-PRISM World
PRISM Break: Part 1
Linux users didn’t need the recent NSA eavesdropping scandal to convince them that securing communication was a good idea. For years, free software developers have been creating secure tools that offer similar functionalities to all of those popular but very leaky services with ridiculous names.
Fresh Memory: Learning Aid
Self-Test
When memorizing facts, learning, storing, and processing internalizes the subject matter. The Fresh Memory program offers various methods to help you anchor the facts in your memory.
