In this series of article about python and HTTP protocol, we work with HTTP requests and responses. In the first article we explore standard library functions such as urllib.request.urlopen or urllib.request.urlretrieve. In the second part we focus on the external “requests” library, which let us perform complex operations, writing less code.

Install Kodi, VLC and multimedia libraries on Fedora 25 Linux
Introduction
Two of the most popular and highest quality media programs available for Linux are not available through Fedora’s default repositories. Of course, these are no other than Kodi and VLC, and they are available on Fedora through RPM Fusion.
Kodi, which was previously known as XBMC, has boomed in popularity as of late with both Linux and mainstream audiences.
VLC has been a long time favorite for anyone looking for a media player capable of playing content with just about any encoding or file extension.
Getting the Repositories
As with many multimedia things in Fedora, this is an instance of “RPM Fusion to the rescue.” Utilizing the reliable and trusted RPM Fusion repository grants access to both Kodi and VLC as well as valuable multimedia codecs and libraries required to play many people’s favorite content.
The best way to get the repositories is to use the series of commands provided by RPM Fusion.
$ su -c 'dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'
Thecus N2100 with Debian enable boot completion beep
I have installed a Debian on my N2100 yesterday and it is just great. I wonder why the Thecus guys do not put a full version of debian into this small box by default :-). Since this is a headless PC I was missing that last beep once the system booted so I would know when I can ssh to it. Here is a small hack to overcome this problem. First install a beep package:
# apt-get isntall beep

Test And Recover Your Passwords By Cracking Them With Hashcat
Introduction
Hashcat is a robust password cracking tool that can help you recover lost passwords, audit password security, benchmark, or just figure out what data is stored in a hash.
There are a number of great password cracking utilities out there, but Hashcat is known for being efficient, powerful, and full featured. Hashcat makes use of GPUs to accelerate hash cracking. GPUs are much better and handling cryptographic work than CPUs are, and they can be utilized in much greater numbers than CPUs. Hashcat also supports a very wide range of popular hashes, to ensure that it can handle deciphering nearly any password.
Please note that misuse of this program can be illegal. Only test on systems that you own or have written permission to test on. Don’t share or post hashes or results publicly. Hashcat should be used for password recovery and professional security audits.

Ruby on Rails Development On Ubuntu 16.04 Linux
Ruby on Rails is one of the most popular web development platforms today, with some of the hottest start-ups and tech giants employing it in their software stacks. One of the biggest selling points of Ruby on Rails is the ease of development. It is just as easy to get set up and start developing, especially on Linux.
Installing the Packages
There are a couple of packages needed before Ruby can be installed in set up, and no, Ruby isn’t one of them. Since this tutorial is going to be using the Ruby Version Manager, or RVM, to manage Ruby, there’s no need to install the package through Ubuntu. There are a couple of packages that RVM needs in order to work and one that never seems to get pulled in by gem installs(nodejs).
# sudo apt-get install build-essential curl nodejs
