Never Win10... Want Linux or Win7

How existing Windows users can refuse Microsoft's Windows 10 update:

"If you don't want Windows 10 to install automatically on your Windows 7/8 PC or tablet, for whatever reason, here's what to remember":

Note!  Grc.com got a tool to turn off Win10:   https://www.grc.com/never10.htm

The irods to FigShare design

The idea : 

Copy files from iRODS to Figshare.

To make it easy for the user(s) this will be done via a Web-GUI,

where there the user will select the file and right click to get a file-menu.

           The code from : https://github.com/sunadtudk/irods_2_figshare
Please note!!  Update the api.py from https://github.com/makkus/pigshare

# please note!  
# please do before playing with figshare: 
# yum update ; yum -y install python-pip
# pip install git+git://github.com/iPlantCollaborativeOpenSource/pycommands.git
# pip install --upgrade pip
# pip install --upgrade git+git://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient.git
# pip install pigshare
#  Do a "pigshare -h"  to see the API ;-)

ImageMagic Bug... Update your iRODS - CVE-2016–3714

There are multiple vulnerabilities in ImageMagick, a package commonly used by web services to process images. One of the vulnerabilities can lead to remote code execution (RCE) if you process user submitted images. The exploit for this vulnerability is being used in the wild.

If you use ImageMagick or an affected library, we recommend you mitigate the known vulnerabilities by doing at least one of these two things (but preferably both!):

• Verify that all image files begin with the expected “magic bytes” corresponding to the image file types you support before sending them to ImageMagick for processing. (see FAQ for more info)
• Use a policy file to disable the vulnerable ImageMagick coders. The global policy for ImageMagick is usually found in “/etc/ImageMagick”. The below policy.xml example will disable the coders EPHEMERAL, URL, MVG, and MSL

HD crash on NAS and NASA is using iRODS!!!

Crap!! ... the NAS where 11 TB data is living on crashed on one disk. Lucky we are running Raid 6!!
got a new disk and let it rebuild the Raid pool.

For Real NASA ?? Just got in contact with a guy working at NASA, They use iRODS too!

Proteomics is an area in which the EDRN Informatics Center is investing resources to provide processing pipelines of proteomics datasets. This is an effort in collaboration with Vanderbilt University Medical Center Mass Spectrometry Bioinformaticist David Tabb. Proteomics is a project currently under-development.
