Remember or not, there was G-Police-2 Is a great game to.

G-Police was one of my favorite games on the PSX.


It was one of the first flight games to truly take advantage of the dual analogue.


The first time I realised that you could use the right analogue stick to look around just blew me away.


Really looking forward to playing this on Pandora as I still have both originals.

True - but then again, I need to be able to login from anywhere in case something goes wrong, and I don't want to have to take my keys with me anywhere I go.

Don't you have your pandora with you at all times then?

I have... but I'm not too fond of storing keys for my webservers on mobile devices which can easily be stolen or lost...

Public / Private key authentication if done properly is more secure


For secure SSH you first need to have a private / public key on the server (I pretty sure ssh-server generate one automatically).


The goal of this key is to to be able to authenticate the server (to be sure you are in fact connected to your server). This private key will / should always stay on the server.


(you probably already have this part set-up)


The second pair or Private / Public key is used in order to authenticate yourself. (so the server can make sure it is you that is trying to log in)


You will usually use the command line tool "ssh-keygen" in order to generate the key. When you generate this key you will be able to encrypt it using a pass-phrase.


It is recommended to always use a pass-phrase. The downside is that you will of course need to enter the pass phrase every time access to the private key is needed (eg to connect to your server).


You then need to tell the ssh server that the key you created should have access. For this you need to copy the public key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your server.


So basically if your Pandora is stolen your key is not directly compromised because it is encrypted


My quick explanation isn't really the best so here is a good article on how to set everything up: http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication


It takes a bit of time to get how to set everything up the first time but it really isn't that hard. I guess you're probably really busy with the Pandora, work and all though.

I got to say ED that your last video was the best as far as gaming goes! Homebrew actually gets me more excited than emulation. Glad to see it is only part1!

Yeah the homebrew stuff was pretty cool. I have been playing Nexuiz(http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/) recently and it's really cool. I wonder if it would playable on the pandora? I imagine that it wouldn't be playable without a keyboard and mouse though.

I'm pretty sure ED know how to handle ssh keys

 

[Yannick]

Friday's video was the best of the series until now


let's hope part 2 is even better


homebrew rules!

 

[Fzero]

Cheers for review Mario! GPolice looking good there, def playable, I recall the controls taking a bit of getting used to when I first got it on ps1, its been a while but it will come back to me. Looking good thanks


loving today's homebrew selection too, this is an area that will be new for me, some great looking Linux brew games shown here, definately giving some time to a fair few of these.


Pandoras the Domestos of gaming, killing all known germ handhelds DEAD!

Here here! Only wish the sound was louder when playing panjoust so I could hear the music.

Luckily the Pandora has those (nubs=mouse).

 

[Grench]

Thank you for the VNC/remote video!


Very nicely done with the two camera angles and all.


It looks like it works even better than I was wishing. Thank you!

 

[DaMummy]

why is todays wideo not up in one vid a day thread

 

[dreamer]

So basically if your Pandora is stolen your key is not directly compromised because it is encrypted

And even still. When anything happens to the pandora you can just delete it's entry from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys


Anyway, maybe just nagging, but we want to make sure openpandora.org stays safe


protip: use ssh-agent and ssh-add to activate your keys in the current X-session.

Just watched 3 episodes in a row. Thank you ED, its like Pandora TV

 

[j0n]

New episode is really cool! Great to see the Mana World playable on the pandora. Lots of nostalgia with Lemmings and that Simcity clone.


I hadn't realised how many cool homebrew games there were. Cheers Ed, great video.

 

[levi]

Thanks for the homebrew vids, ED. I've been using Linux exclusively at home and primarily at work for a few years now, and I wasn't aware of all those fantastic-looking SDL games.


Is there any chance we could get a list of the games you showed in those two vids? Your accent is not hard to understand, but when I'm not familiar with the game name you're pronouncing, it's hard for me to guess how to spell it sometimes

 

[DaMummy]

google is a great way to give you the right spelling even if you misspell it completely

 

[may88]

Not the way I spell some times.
