[BLUG] gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, terminator and others are unsafe

I'm trying to release this many places so that people see it and
take care of it for themselves. Terminal emulators that use the
libvte library, which include gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal,
terminator and guake write their scrollback buffer history to disk in
the /tmp directory:

A video showing how this works and why you should be concerned is here:

[BLUG] Mounting a network drive

Hi,

If anyone is up to doing a 'Mounting network drives in Redhat for Dummies' primer, I'd be most obliged.   My Googling abilities seem a bit suspect on the topic.

I have a Redhat server that I want to write backup files from to a QNAP NAS which runs some flavor of Linux.  I can't remember what it is off the top of my head and am on my way downtown to an appt with Dr. CrazyHorse but can get the info Monday if it's needed.

I can navigate to the share on the NAS from Redhat and have no access restrictions on that share at all but still don't seem to be able to write my backups to it. 

I'm hoping that if I mount a drive I'll have more luck.  I just can't seem to get the syntax correct.

Thanks In Advance!

[BLUG] Lenovo service deal recommendation?

Hi,

My friend has a Lenovo X201 laptop that might have a bad fan.
Unfortunately its warranty has expired. So he is looking for
a Lenovo authorized deal who can take a look at it and repair
it if needed. Local to Bloomington preferred but not limited.
Anybody has any recommendation?

Thanks,
Shing-Shong
