A little searching lead me to a suggestion that if an ogg file plays ok in vlc other other players but not rockbox, the album art is a likely culprit.\r\n\r\nRemoved them with Audio Tag Tool and all is well.

We didn’t know it then but it kept us focused on the game rather than too many details of characters. Sure, we still built characters but it was a very abbreviated process. Not until some months and many game sessions later did I actually do my own research and discovered parts of what this podcast brings together very succinctly. And now that I know a bit more about the whole process, this podcast is all the more interesting.\r\n\r\nLostnbronx and Klaatu have done a splendid job of laying out a very understandable and approachable process for those curious about taking part in an RPG.

It took a lot of time to find the music, and Klaatu assisted with offering up some content for it also. I found that it was really time consuming, and Terry F took over for a period of time until it fizzled out. \r\n\r\nThe main idea that I had was to get more OGG content out there, to help expand the awareness of the OGG format, due to restrictions of the MP3 format, and that many MP3 Players didn\'t support it. - Today, most people are listening to content on computers or Android devices, most are able to listen to the ogg format, if they wish. \r\n\r\nIf my ol\' memory serves right, even Mark Shuttleworth has stopped worrying about the MP3 format being a real problem, even tho\' it\'s still a closed file format.

Possibly because I was a bad student at school in my teens, I have never properly understood the whole issue of grammar, parsing sentences, past participles and all of that. However, I have always had a fascination with words, their meanings and their origins, and I think it\'s English that has led to that interest.\r\n\r\nOther languages also have their problems. I learnt French at school (and did a few years as an adult too) and never got to grips with the genders of nouns. Why is a table (furniture) feminine for example? How is it possible to remember them all? I still enjoy attempting to speak French nevertheless.\r\n\r\nYou point to the deficiencies of English with regard to the meaning of \"free\". Absolutely. That\'s a shortcoming. However, many other languages have their own idiosyncrasies. I worked at a university with a campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Bahasa Melayu, the local language, has a very different grammar compared to English. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_grammar for some aspects of it. I remember having conversations with Malay speakers, suggesting a English way of expressing a thing, to be told that that was pretty much impossible in their language. This led me to believe that English might be more subtle; though perhaps on the other hand it\'s more suitable for circumlocution, evasion and indirectness!\r\n\r\nAt school my French teacher was also an advocate of Esperanto. I wonder if that sort of language was what you had in mind instead of English? I don\'t know enough about its benefits to judge, but I wonder if a constructed language can really be as rich as a \"natural\" evolved language - even with all of its clutter and detritus.\r\n\r\nThanks for your comments - they really got me thinking.','2018-07-19 15:30:08'),

The \"gunk\" in the remote that gets on the circuit board is generally some kind of silicone lubricant or solvent.

It\'s hard to say how it would turn out in practice, but I\'m optimistic.\r\n\r\nAs you mention, mixing vocabulary in languages that have very different grammars could become a bit strange, but code-switching -- that is, jumping back and forth between languages - is common and frequent with bilingual people, and it frequently happens mid-sentence, so I guess that just shows that people are pretty good at making it work even in radically different languages.\r\n\r\nThe area where I live has mostly Chinese Hongkongers, but many of them speak a lot of English in the office and at home, and it\'s pretty fun to listen to the kids on the playground and in the playroom talk to each other -- it\'s a real soup of Cantonese and English.','2018-09-20 08:29:51'),

It\'s unwise to feed a \'while\' loop thorough a pipe because the \'while\' runs\r\nin a separate shell which can lead to problems\r\n\r\n2. Never use \'ls\' to get a list of files for consumption in a script. Unless\r\nyou can be completely sure that the \'ls\' you are using isn\'t adding suffixes\r\nlike \'@\' for links, and \'/\' for directories and isn\'t adding colour codes to\r\nthe names, don\'t do it. Much better to use \'find\'.\r\n\r\nMy test with this pipeline returned colour codes which \'ffmpeg\' didn\'t like,\r\nand it failed that way.\r\n\r\nfor i in *.mp3;do ffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\" 2>&1;done\r\n\r\nThis doesn\'t use \'ls\' it simply uses file expansion therefore no additional\r\nfilename garbage!\r\n\r\nDid I mention: don\'t use \'ls\' as a way of feeding filenames to a loop or\r\nwhatever?\r\n\r\nThe first example would have worked if you\'d written:\r\n\r\nwhile read i;do ffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\" 2>&1;done < <(find . -maxdepth 1 -name \"*.mp3\")\r\n\r\nThe \'-maxdepth 1\' option prevents \'find\' from going into sub-directories. The\r\n\'find\' is inside a process substitution which is redirected to the \'while\' so\r\nthe \'read\' inside it can obtain what is produced on its STDIN channel.\r\n\r\nAlso, if it had been me I\'d have written:\r\n\r\nffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\"\r\n\r\nas:\r\n\r\nffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i%mp3}wav\"\r\n\r\nto avoid the output files being called \'xxx.mp3.wav\'.

I always wonder how other people make similar things I like. \r\nAs it happens, I just made crepes yesterday. \r\nI have no idea why my Texas mom started making crepes, but I just remember having them at home as a kid. \r\nI don\'t know if what I do is technically called a crepe but it\'s very crepe like, or maybe more super thin pancake like. \r\nI\'m not much of a measurer. I typically start with 1 to 1.5 cups flour and add a couple table spoons to 1/4 cup of sugar depending on the day. I also add lots of cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon to a half table spoon. Again depending on the amount of flour, the sugar and cinnamon increases. \r\nThis is basically a dessert crepe.\r\nAfter whisking the dry together with a 1/8 teaspoon of salt or or less, I add 3/4 cup of milk. If the mix isn\'t watery enough, add more milk until pretty thin. Then add an egg and beat in completely. \r\nI have a gas stove, so I put the flame on to just above as low as it can go without going out. I let that heat a stainless pan for several minutes, while putting the other things together. More flame if you know what you\'re doing. You want the pan to be the right temp before putting in the first drizzle of batter. \r\nI like to use a cake decorating bottle to put the batter in the pan. Get the bottles at Ross, a discount store, or at the dreaded Wal-Mart. You could probably enlarge the opening on one of the $.99 ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles, but they are not clear like the decorating bottles. \r\n\r\nJust before putting the batter in the pan, swirl around then end of a stick of butter just enough to wet the pan. Start at the center of the pan with a splash of batter making an ever widening circle until you cover 2/3 of the pan. If the batter is thin enough it will spread itself. Otherwise you can pick up and jostle the pan to flatten more. I generally cook until the edges curl and the top starts looking less wet, then flip and cook the other side 10-20 seconds to firm up top side.','2018-10-09 07:02:21'),

There is lots wrong with capitalism. First thing is that capitalists believe their system is the only answer. The hangover after our last industrial revolution gave us shorter working days, safety rules and employee rights at work. Currently there is lots of demand out there for sabbaticals or people taking a break. so hell yeah, give me a robot who does my job so I can recover from stress, spend time with my children or travel, do volunteer work. Why do we doubt Basic income? currently those breaks are only available for the rich or singles or childless. Have you seen a happy cashier? Have you heard a mine worker shouting: yes - let\'s continue ruining my lung instead of giving me proper training so I can work in a solar panel farm. and for the doctors! I have met so many who were an utter waste of my time. yes, give me the Watson system. I had to retrain in my job 3 times over the last 6 years. it has been hard. it doesn\'t have to be! As you say, Robots give us an opportunity to focus on the things that matter in life. We dont have to run anymore all the time. Robots guarantee a basic level of productivity. We can find better and creative solutions to provide proper pay for people who work in the care. We can focus on figuring out why our society still struggles with all kinds of abuse, why we do not trust anyone, why we feel the need to destroy our beautiful world. we have a universe to explore and the complex systems in our world. and if there is the odd person not willing to work, then that\'s okay too. People have reasons! Capitalists only know the word more. When will you read all the books that keep accumulating on your bookshelf because you shouted MORE. There is no time because I have to be social, I have to take care of children, because I have to declare taxes, have to have that lawsuit with my neighbour, have to go to work, have to cl','2018-10-19 13:21:59'),

Tangential to the main topic, I was intrigued to learn you are paid cryptocurrency. You did not mention which type, but given the volatility in the better known cryptocurrencies, I’m curious how that might effect one’s income. I’m sending this to your e-mail referenced on the HPR website, but I’m also posting these questions to the show comments, so any listener who gets paid in cryptocurrency can weigh in. I’d rather hear from community members whom a significant portion of their income comes in the form of cryptocurrency, but maybe someone who makes extra money from a hobby or side project can contribute their tales of fortunes won and lost. At this time, I’m not asking for stories from miners or people who lost their stash do to alleged malfeasance (i.e., Mt. Gox).\r\n\r\n1. You said you were paid in cryptocurrency. Is this in the form of you get the equivalent of X Euros (replace with relevant national currency) a week based on the current exchange rate or is it fixed at Y units of cryptocurrency?\r\n2. If the latter answer to #1, what happens if the bottom drops out of said cryptocurrency? Are you under contract, stuck working for nothing? I guess the corollary would be what happens when cryptocurrency goes so high the company can’t afford to pay you?\r\n3. Has volatility in the cryptocurrency market effected your financial status. In other words, have you ever made plans based on a sudden uptick in your cryptocurrency savings, only to have them dashed when the bubble burst?\r\n\r\nAlmost a year ago, my non-techie friends started asking me about Bitcoin. By that time, Bitcoin was in it’s first stages of it’s upwards ramp. I really hadn’t been paying attention, but suddenly Bitcoin was all over the news as this magical money tree that no-one knew existed.

I have not had a problem in airports, universities, hotels, conference centers, or really anywhere that I can think of.\r\n\r\nTest-drive Linux in store: I do this as a matter of habit. If I\'m in a store with computers for sale, I usually reboot at least one PC to Linux just to keep tabs on what works out of the box these days. It seems rare for UEFI of display models to be locked down, so I open the UEFI UI, disable Secure Boot, reboot to Linux, test stuff, and then re-enable Secure Boot to avoid what would be vandalism (I have no interest in giving Linux geeks a bad name - \"keep an eye on that one, he\'ll break our display models until corporate sends somebody to fix them\") \r\n\r\nI\'ve only been approached/reprimanded once for doing this. I calmly explained that I was testing Linux, which I require for work, because I was considering a purchase. The salesperson did not stand down, so I calmly rebooted and later sent an email to the store manager telling them that Linux is a real OS that real people in the area use at work, so the sales team ought to be made aware of it. I haven\'t had a problem since in that store (Warehouse Stationary in NZ, for the record). \r\n\r\nOtherwise, no one has ever bothered to approach me about it. I guess if I was nervous about it, I might try to find a sales person and explain what I needed to do, and why, and then ask if I may demonstrate the process, walking them through everything as I did it. Throwing fancy words around, like \"programmer\" and \"software developer\" and \"C++\" might help dazzl le them into submission.\r\n\r\nEither way, it\'s worth a shot.','2018-12-03 10:42:33'),

It was my main computer for many years.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been something I have been meaning to do for some time - resurrect these devices.

I did some basic repairs on the player, and learnt to solder when the leads and plugs needed fixing.

PCs would originally boot off the floppy drive, which was always A, and for convenience, a second floppy drive was often added and it was always B. So the hard drives started with C. I don\'t think there\'s any technical reason A and B haven’t been reclaimed, but when I read `A:` or `B:` in a path, I still think “floppy disk”.

Thanks to your excellent show notes I can make sense of it but I have to say I would not like to have to develop a project using this language.\r\n\r\nObviously I am missing the point as nobody would design a language with the intention of its being difficult to use.

However, I think that can lead to a subconscious over-specification of our requirements as a way of justifying the purchase.\r\n\r\nA few years ago I had selected a very nice Sony laptop that I convinced myself was exactly what I needed to support my work. Unfortunately an unforeseen breakdown of my car meant I had to spend roughly half of my budget to get it fixed and back on the road.\r\n\r\nI still needed a new laptop but the Sony was now out of the question. I revisited my requirements and realised that many of my \"must haves\" were really \"would like to haves\". If it took a minute or two longer to rip a DVD did it really matter? If it took an extra few seconds to open a very large image-laden document was that really the end of the world?\r\n\r\nBy adopting this approach I found I was able to purchase a Dell rather than a Sony with what was left of my budget and its few relative shortcomings were almost immediately forgotten.','2019-03-29 08:11:42'),

Now those are valid questions. I have personally made the choice to ban Windows from my house, because I can do everything __I__ need on a linux desktop. You said that you can\'t write documents or make presentation on Linux and that is a perfectly valid reason for __you__ to dump the linux desktop. But as a general rule, no, __we__ should not dump any desktop, be it macOS, Windows, Linux, or any of the exotic ones. As you said in this episode, it\'s all about choice.\r\n\r\nAlso, you mentioned OpenOffice in this episode. I really hope you meant LibreOffice. Because OpenOffice... well... need I say more ?

I know many people who no longer would want a desktop or laptop.

I do not want that responsibility.”\r\n\r\nMy two questions are, 1) What exactly is the nature of the two remaining clips whose inclusion is problematic? and 2) what would “being held responsible” mean in practical terms?\r\n\r\nOn the first point, how long are the clips and what are they of? Music? Broadcast footage? Do the clips comprise the entire original work or do they amount to a minor quotation?\r\n\r\nIn the US, Fair Use is an actual legal limitation of creators\' rights under copyright law. The US also has the DMCA, which effectively allows providers to host anything, and if a copyright holder has a problem with their stuff being included somewhere they can file a takedown notice and the provider handles it by simply removing the content in question. But this is not the case in other countries, particularly the EU where there has been a lot of, shall we say, new development in this area recently.\r\n\r\nIf the answer to (1) is \"the two clips are actually entire Beatles songs\"…then there isn’t really a legal defense no matter what jurisdiction we\'re talking about.\r\n\r\nBut even if the answer to (1) is \"They are fifteen-second excerpts from an hour-long lecture given at a public university\", …If the answer to (2) is \"we don\'t/can\'t know so we are acting out of an abundance of caution\" I can respect that.','2019-06-06 15:17:30'),

Given the amount of people outside the English speaking world, surely they could have took some time to check Chinese support, and Arabic, and Russian, and Greek, etc. !\r\n\r\nThey made no bones about the fact that they are reviewing the distros from their point of view only. Moss mentions using some proprietary office suite that I\'m sure the majority of HPR listeners are not using.\r\n\r\nBut are these gentlemen even the best people to include accessibility in their reviews? I don\'t think either of them have a need of, or have any experience using accessibility tools. Would we even be able to trust their assessment given that their inability to use them could simply be down to not knowing which key to use to enable support. Would they even know to check that the speech synthesizer is legible when sped up ?\r\n\r\nI would suggest that would be better done by someone who \"will not accept any Linux distro which I cannot install alone.\"\r\n\r\nSo why don\'t you contact the lads and ask them if they would be interested in having you join the show to review a distro entirely from an accessibility point of view.\r\n\r\nIf they are not I\'m sure that there would be an audience here on HPR that would love to hear it.','2019-06-20 20:37:32'),

So that is approx 19 minutes for each. If 30 seconds out of those 19 minutes just answered my single question, can I install it alone, or is there an SSH server running when any Live DVD or CD is booted, then I will be able to either immediately dismiss the distro, or give it more attention.\r\n\r\nSome distros are fundamentally bad. For example Regolith Linux uses the i3 window manager, which is a dead loss for accessibility.\r\n\r\nSome distros are a disgrace, like the interview Ken gave with the lead developer of Mint a couple of years ago when the dev declared \"we\'re not interested in accessibility.\"\r\n\r\nBut just take thirty seconds or so to answer a11y fundamentals.\r\n\r\nIt is very annoying when so many distros are Debian or Ubuntu derivatives, but have stripped out the speech from the installer','2019-06-25 07:57:44'),

The vehicle for the violence is different. Not the violence.\r\n\r\nI saw one commentator of Fox blame video games, and a number of others ignore or question that belief. Sadly you can\'t believe anything you see on TV as a whole any more.\r\n\r\nJapan is a culture with deeper roots in family and the importance of morality. They don\'t necessarily agree with the \"to each their own\" adage that western society loves. They openly shame anything and anyone that does not fit their norm. Societal acceptance is a major driving force in all that they do. Perhaps that is what is missing? A society enforced moral code and shaming when you don\'t fit in the box? Is that what we should go back to? \r\n\r\nI don\'t condone and it isn\'t easy for a teenager to buy alcohol, drugs, or firearms here. I do believe in education for all of those things. I also know that there are always the ones that get or do these things anyway. Maybe this is where the Japan method comes in? In the past in this nation more homes have guns, and more homes had both parents, and maybe a strong family bond, and parents that enforced social norms helped? I don\'t know the answer and decades of change would be required and still not provide true proof.\r\n\r\nWhy is it that a conversation cannot be held without a person who doesn\'t like Trump, bringing him up? He really isn\'t the biggest problem this nation has. He certainly isn\'t the solution, but isn\'t the biggest problem. I don\'t like him either, but lets dispense with using Trump is a racist as a defense for a point of view. \r\n\r\nI live in a country that has a group of people who have decided that they are accepting and tolerant of everyone unless you own guns, have conservative values, attend church and believe in Christian values.

This one was great!\r\n\r\nAs to your reflection on the pronunciation of the word \"solder\" I have a few remarks:\r\n\r\n- The word is derived from the Latin \"solidare\" - to make solid\r\n\r\n- Yes, the British do generally pronounce it to rhyme with \"colder\" and \"folder\". This seems to make sense given that its form is very similar. Pronouncing \"folder\" as \"fodder\", even in dialect, would be very confusing, for example.\r\n\r\n- The French equivalent is \"souder\", which sounds (to my ears) like \"sooday\".\r\n\r\n- I have seen it suggested that the USA pronunciation is derived from the French.\r\n\r\nLanguage is fun! I recently bought a Chinese hot air soldering gun (SMD Rework Station) from Amazon. I particularly like the legend on the box which says:\r\n\r\n\"Soft and spiral wind can welds all chips\"\r\n\r\nWords to live by ;-)','2019-08-31 13:06:08'),

Assume, the original track contains tones in the 10 kHz range, these become 40kHz tones in the sped up version. When playing the quick version to record them on tape, the player has to correctly reproduce those high pitched tones and the recorder has to be able to bring those to tape. Depending on the frequency response of this chain, I expect this to be the bottle neck. When playing at quarter speed, the highest pitch you will get is only a fourth of the highest frequency the recorder could handle.\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nMichael','2019-09-29 15:03:43'),

The signal is bounced between relays mounted on the hilltops and beamed down to villages and farms below. The \"line of sight\" problem is resolved by having a few low power sub-relays positioned around the area at lower elevations. For example, I cannot see my nearest relay from the roof of my house, but a grain silo on the farm next door can, so I take my signal from a sub-relay mounted on top of the silo. It works great and, since the ISP is only a small company it must be quite cheap too.\r\n\r\nPerhaps one of the WISPs in your area could be persuaded to look into this approach to expand their customer base.','2019-10-05 21:03:05'),

In short, it takes the journey of one soul, reexamines it through the story of another, then joins the stories in a grand finale.\r\n\r\nThe order is: IV V II III VI and then episode order from then on. It papers over some of Lucas\'s worst narrative mistakes and ruins none of the surprises except one.\r\n\r\nIf this seems silly, then release order.

I just tried it on busybox and two seems to work fine (though three does also). The ++ form does not (as you note it would require bash) though I\'m familiar with that form, it just doesn\'t work within the constraints of busybox.','2020-03-05 08:00:11'),

(2867,3023,'2020-03-05 04:05:12','Carl','Thanks for the comments','@nobody\r\n\r\nI looked at shuf for this but it\'s not a busybox builtin and not included out of the box with Alpine, though awk is, which is why I went with it to generate the random number pairs. So to say that I don\'t know what tools are available is perhaps a little unfair as I did state in the episode that I\'m limiting myself to busybox builtins. Imposing that limitation on myself is perhaps a little silly, but, it is a fact that I would have to install _something_ to get the additional functionality you reference, and that may not always be possible or desirable in embedded applications.\r\n\r\nActually, I wrote the above so I\'ll leave it there, but I decided to double check. I usually refer to https://busybox.net/BusyBox.html as a single page reference to the builtins and shuf isn\'t listed but /usr/bin/shuf is indeed a symlink to /bin/busybox on one of my Alpine devices, which is a little annoying. When I work on a script like this one, I usually do it on my laptop that has all the full tools on it but I double check against the busybox page to make sure I\'m not using a command or an option to a command that busybox doesn\'t support. Then I test it on one of the devices.','2020-03-05 08:00:11'),

What is happening right now is that the lives and livelihoods of young people are being sliced away for the benefit of the older demographic.

My fascination was multiplied by both of my parents working in parallel industries when I was young. My father worked in an art and drafting supply house, my mother in an office supplies store.\r\n\r\nInstead of turning to fountain pens, my disposition is toward ball point pens. While I do agree that they aren\'t the greatest writing tools, I have leaned toward advertising pieces and novelty pens. I have pens in my collection from as early as the 1950s and 60s. Mostly local business advertising, a few national chains/brand names. \r\n\r\nArt class in middle school introduced me to papers and textures and artisan papers. I am a proud owner of a 100% hand made journal. (Not by me, I don\'t have that level of skill) the 300 pages of paper is all hand made from recycled cardboard and denim an the entire volume is bound in hand tooled leather.

Even if you set it to read-only at the block device level, it won\'t stop a rootkit or kernel exploit from writing to the drive. Some USB drives, SD cards, and occasionally hard drives, claim to support device level read-only mode, but even then, they almost all have writable firmware that could be maliciously modified by software on the host (see BadUSB). The only consumer hardware I know of that supports anything close to physical write protection is the CD-ROM, and even most CD-ROM drives keep their firmware on a writable flash chip. \r\n\r\nMost of these are advanced attacks that average person will ever have to worry about, but worth keeping in mind. Read-only root filesystems are mainly meant for resilience against power failures and simple unprivileged malware, but it\'s not meant to provide any true security against sophisticated attacks.

The half which is not siding with the WHO have been banned from Twitter and Facebook and have had their video\'s taken off of Youtube, thus making these corporate entities rulers of the truth.\r\nIN fact, they are unaccountable rulers of the truth.\r\n\r\nIf your a physicist in this world, and you disagree with Einstein in any way, express a belief in UFO\'s, or sometimes even show a realism for some of the things shown in the STAR TREK episodes,,, you are shown the door. The community will 100% throw you out the door. There\'s nothing to debate over there.\r\n\r\nBut with Covid-19, it\'s absolutely NOT cut and dried. There are no definitive statements from anyone on Covid-19. As you\'ve pointed out, they\'ve already proved some of the statements made about some of the treatments being talked about have been proven to be wrong and biased. \r\n\r\nPart of the blame lies in their bad record keeping. Hospitals will make an automatic $12,000 for every Covid-19 patient they log into the system. And therefore, just everybody had Covid-19 damage, even in you had terminal cancer or were hospice before the entire thing started,,, they file you as a Covid-19 death.\r\n\r\nGreat Britain has recently admitted they have discovered the same thing happened over there and thus their statistics and record keeping have been skewed badly. \r\n\r\nWe do not know for sure that 200,000 Americans have in fact died from Covid-19 this year so far. The data on deaths recorded every year in the United States has varied so widely over the past 50 years, it\'s truthfully uncertain who many we could attribute toward Covid-19. \r\n\r\nMore on next buffer.','2020-08-13 11:50:17'),

The Hard drive is so old, it shows up as wd0!!! But, when I run Fuguita 386 on it, it shows up as sd0, go figure. OpenBSD supports AMD64 variants of their OS will all the Intel DRM. I\'m running the 386 version of OpenBSD and I\"m afraid I really don\'t know if this notebooks FredFlintstoneLake Intel Graphics is actually supported on the 386 version. Things are slow but not horrible on this laptop. I still have the original WIFI chip in this notebook and mine is Atheros. Dell has been known to switch out hardware on production lines -mid-stream- for all their computers so it doesn\'t surprise me one bit you had a different WIFI from mine. I\'ve still got the Original factory battery also. The Dell Mini 10 is fanless and quiet. OpenBSD doesn\'t PUSH the hardware into overheating. I need to look into expanding my memory, if that\'s even possible on this model as it was the very first of the Dell Mini 10 series, the first year they offered the Mini 10 Inspiron. I\'ve always been told the ram is soldered in on this model and that I was screwed but, I need to open this up and look around. Maybe at least upgrade my hard drive also and put some fresh CPU paste on the heat sink. It\'s over 12 years old now. Still very reliable, and I use it very day.

Ahuka got only one negative comment on his show and Ahuka called the people who didn\'t follow his narrative stupid idiots I\'m guessing from the commentary. Study my work Ahuka and you will get more negative comments over time. I\'m a firm believer that if you do, you too can have most of the HPR audience out for your blood.

Really enjoyed your show. \r\n\r\nIf you look at the representation of the black community in the wider community of Linux/FLOSS then I think you are definitely on to something. However, there are a great number of non-white contributors to FLOSS projects all over the world - particularly on the Indian sub-continent. It would, I think, be a shame if anybody new to Linux and FLOSS felt there may be any kind of bias against, or any favour of, any racial group - not that I think you were suggesting that there is.\r\n\r\nBecause communication between contributors on projects often takes place using text-based messaging, for the most part we probably have no idea what the people we correspond with look like, or are like as people. Everyone is as good as their contributions, which is just as it should be.\r\n\r\nYou made the point that if you had not told the listeners of your racial background nobody would likely have known from your voice or accent. Absolutely right, so it\'s entirely possible that could be the case with a number of other HPR contributors.\r\n\r\nWomen, though, have far more distinctive voices so I think it\'s indisputable that of 3000+ HPR shows, the number submitted by women is pitiful. Diversity takes many forms, so I think there is at least as big an issue with gender diversity in Linux/FLOSS as there is in ethnicity.\r\n\r\nTo think in terms of a diversity \"problem\" hints at there being conscious efforts to attract or exclude certain groups. I honestly don\'t think that is the case in the Linux/FLOSS world, but there can be no doubt that broadening its appeal as widely as possible across society can only bring benefits at every level.','2021-01-27 20:53:22'),

It sounds as though you\'ve done quite well for yourself and you have a strong community around that cares about you getting ahead in life. That\'s awesome and we all need something like this in our lives.\r\n\r\nThanks for sharing your back story about you and your family. I do appreciate someone talking about something else other their newest laptop, or the latest distro of their favorite operating system.\r\n\r\nThis is a podcast and like most podcasts there\'s lots of rambling and lots of pundits.\r\n\r\nI think you are making some broad generalizations about People Of Color (POC) in America -- even though you are a member of that community. I know you stated - this is from your experience.\r\n\r\nFor instance, you state you feel the reason that POC are not vocal in the Floss community is because they\'re somehow afraid. I don\'t believe this at all.\r\n\r\nI think many POC are unaware of many FLOSS technological tools...but so are lots of other people who are not black, brown, or women. Being ignorant or unaware of something does NOT make you afraid !\r\n\r\nI\'m sure your family was apprehensive of being part of that Great Migration; but they did it! So did millions of other African Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Migration_%28African_American%29\r\n\r\nPOC consume a lot of technical information just like any other folks in America. They use computers, cell phones tablets...etc. Additionally, they spend lots of money on tech related items. \r\nTech companies want POC communities (all communities for that matter) to consume their products. They have no interest in these communities participating in its implementation.\r\n\r\nFor instance, Are we to believe that Apple couldn\'t hire a POC as part of their QA team for their watches ??\r\nhttps://thegrio.com/2015/05/01/apple-watch-dark-skin/','2021-02-16 20:09:31'),

These days, the Windows license key (at least the OEM ones, meaning those that are imposed on you when you buy hardware) is usually tied to the hardware, i.e. the BIOS or whatever chip. I don’t think It will be accepted inside a VM.\r\n\r\nYour best use for the drive would be to pop it into an external case and use it as mobile storage or as a backup drive. (Or leave it bare if you have a hot-swap adapter) That’s what I did with the HDD that came in my Thinkpad. When that arrived 5 years ago, I only did a short boot-up because I was curious about Windows 10. So I had my first (and for many years only) contact with that. I then swapped the drive out for a 3rd party SSD (also from Crucial) straight away.\r\n\r\nRegarding your RAM peculiarity, I’m not sure but it sounds like those missing 2 GB are siphoned off for the internal graphics.','2021-03-18 22:40:48'),

This means you can apply different policies on say /bin/sh depending on the chain of execution leading to it (kernel -> init -> getty -> login -> sh VS kernel -> init -> sshd -> sh). While this is also possible in AppArmor it is quite a lot more manual work and more difficult to reason about.\r\n\r\nTOMOYO also has much nicer tools than either of the more well known MACs. SELinux has given MAC a bad name as being hard and laborious to manage. If instead of SELinux people would be first introduced to TOMOYO they would probably be much more inclined to implement a MAC.','2021-03-25 21:50:58'),

(And isn\'t spam, and meets the licensing terms). There is no requirement to be personally identified on HPR.\r\n\r\nWhile some contributors like myself use their real names, others like yourself use handles instead. I\'m sure most of those who use handles do not do so to hide their identity - but some might. \r\n\r\nIt\'s a moot point anyway because we know Bradley M. Kuhn was the author of the show. We don\'t know who posted it, but I don\'t particularly care. They could have posted the show under a fake user name and we would never know. There are quite a lot of shows posted that were controversial at the time, and were submitted by a host that never posted again. \r\n\r\nI feel that posting under the Anonymous username is more honest. It alerts the HPR community to the lack of implicit trust that comes with a (fake) real name. (It also means less work for the janitors as we don\'t need to create new users :-) )\r\n\r\nIn any event, Hacker Public Radio has long supported, and will continue to support anonymous posts, comments and other forms of interactions.

It is relied upon by thousands with visual impairments, and those with reading disabilities - myself included. You must be new to HPR as we have been using espeak for years, and were only recently able to negotiate a contract with Lyn (text2wave/festival) after her noncompete-agreements from the lottalinuxlinks.com podcast expired ;-).\r\n\r\nUnfortunately the site you posted left me wanting when it came to hearing the other side of the story.

In this case it\'s best to start with Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation (FSF) itself. Sure enough on the main FSF page there are two articles \"Statement of FSF board on election of Richard Stallman\"[1] and another \"RMS addresses the free software community\"[2]\r\n\r\nWe have interviewed RMS on episode hpr0271[3] and hpr1116[4], so it would be great to get him on again to discuss this. Can you reach out to him and/or the FSF to see if they would be interested in recording another interview ? Be sure to mention we only use Free Software for the recording [5], and that we can release it under the CC-BY-NC-SA[6] if desired. I think the whole \"not release in mp3\" thing is no longer a problem, but if it is we can deal with that as well.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime I will put together a similar show to this using their statements, and post it as a counter point show.','2021-04-14 20:58:51'),

He will forever be associated with the free software movement and, by implication, the FSF.\r\n\r\nOn that basis engineering his resignation on the strength of his comments on social and political issues did nothing to protect the reputation of the free software movement. All it achieved was to salve the consciences of the other FSF board members. How damaged was the free software movement anyway?\r\n\r\nMost people outside the FLOSS world have never heard of RMS so his sometimes distasteful, but sometimes thought-provoking views would have no bearing on their decisions to adopt open source software.\r\n\r\nPeople in the FLOSS world know RMS for his eccentricities, along with his visionary genius. I suspect that while many publicly feign shock at his outbursts, for most it is just \"RMS being RMS\" followed by an attempt to get any images conjured up by some of his ideas out of their heads.\r\n\r\nIf the FSF fundamentally stands for anything it is freedom, so to sideline somebody for exercising their right to personal opinions and free speech seems a bit incongruous. Given that getting rid of RMS was never going to distance the FSF from him, they would have been better to have taken the view - even in the form of public statements if necessary - that other FSF board members abhor some of his views on non-technical matters but totally support his right to hold and express those views. In these days of \"cancel culture\" when people are dismissed from jobs or prevented from speaking in public for fear of what they might say it would have been a refreshing change to see an organisation defending the right to free speech instead of just taking the path of least resistance.','2021-04-15 19:55:49'),

But nobody who isn\'t actually brain damaged should defend it nor is anybody actually forced to associate with him because of \"free speech\". It doesn\'t violate any free speech value to say you can believe whatever despicable things you want, you can advocate for any despicable thing you want, but nobody else is obligated to support you or be allied with you. It\'s not cancel culture. It\'s being responsible for the ignorance he spews culture. \r\n\r\nAs for how the FSF is damaged for it, look at how many organizations have pulled their support. Nobody is bigger than an organization unless the organization allows itself to be subsumed to a cult of personality. It rarely works out well. Part of the reason that the FSF is useless is because they have allowed themselves to be so beholden to a useless repugnant toad like Stallman who pushes a majority of people away. If you want an idea to grow, it helps not to be led by somebody who intentionally spews reprehensible nonsense that pushes everybody else away. Stallman is a toxic excuse for a human being. You want Floss to have a chance to grow? Don\'t let it be led by a guy who intentionally says things that are considered morally repugnant by the majority of the public.','2021-04-16 20:23:04'),

The free software community as it stands has good and as discussed well guarded principles with no compromise. While this is admirable it is also what is killing the movement. \r\n\r\nLike language all movements must eventually morph or evolve over time or they die off, it is completely acceptable to maintain a core set of tenets of course, but having a figurehead who uses the internet in bizarre and arcane ways makes free software like more a paranoid nest of conspiracy theorists than it does to make technological progress by freeing the user from the constraints of mega corporations. \r\n\r\nFree software is inevitably political but the mocking and jeering of people who still use proprietary software scared off companies and created the open source movement, which if anything made it easier for mega corporations to profit off of the collectivised free labour of programmers who cared enough to donate their time.\r\n\r\nTo me the free software stalwarts were the progenitors of their own worst enemy, which is open source. They allowed it to happen themselves and fostered the likes of Google and Facebook. The FSF concentrates too much on acting like a single-state communist party with it\'s attention focused on creating a cult of personality around Stallman. \r\n\r\nI agree the roots of the movement today should reflect more social needs, creating software for the good of the people even if that makes software socialist.','2021-05-01 18:41:13'),

I was a grad student in Arizona working with the gamma-ray group at SAO\'s Whipple Observatory (just south of Tucson). My first task was to develop a tracking system for the 10m Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope. We used Forth running on a Z-80 daughter board hosted by an Apple II. This same hardware was used to control a 24\" telescope. That system was developed by a fellow who had worked for SAO\'s Satellite Tracking Program. In fact, several other staff members at Whipple had traveled the planet installing, operating and maintaining the Baker-Nunn cameras used to photograph satellites and determine their orbital elements.\r\n\r\nThe amusing thing is that a couple of years after I graduated they replaced the Apple II with a PC and tried to reverse engineer the Forth code.

However, pwd is also very handy for scripting. Bear in mind that scripts don\'t have a prompt. ;-)\r\n\r\nPretend you are in directory A, and the script is in directory B. So in the terminal you enter B/script to run it. Now within that script, the variable $0 contains that calling string, i.e. B/script. But if you call pwd in that script, it returns A(!). So if you use ./ as path for your dump files, that means that the file will be created at your pwd.\r\n\r\nI often write quick-n-dirty scripts for one-off tasks and they tend to use relative paths for simplicity. In such cases I use the following line at the start of the script:\r\ncd \"$(dirname \"$0\")\"\r\nThis changes the script\'s current directory to where it is actually located. The quotes are there to handle spaces in path names and they are a good habit to acquire. (I\'m kind of a language purist and don\'t like filenames riddled with underscores. I find them hard to read and hard to work with.)','2021-06-30 21:01:23'),

It allows to type a few characters and then, with the page up/down keys, page through all history entries that start with those characters you typed.\r\nFor that, put the following into /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc:\r\n\"\\e[5~\": history-search-backward\r\n\"\\e[6~\": history-search-forward\r\n\r\nRegarding grep:\r\nThis comes from the g command of the ed editor, IIRC. \"g\" means \"do the following command globally on the file\" (vim has the :g command which does exactly that), \"re\" is the command to run and means \"match with regular expression\", and \"p\" means \"if it matches, simply print the line\".\r\n\r\nPS.: it is unnecessary to touch a file if you write something to it right after (unless you use the result value of touch for error checking).\r\n\r\nHappy vimming.','2021-06-30 21:01:23'),

Where were directions on prevention and treatments? CoGo mentions Vitamin D. This parallels my findings on prevention; zinc also turns up in my research. Big pharma is making big dollars on this event. And as mentioned in this episode, an even more nefarious agenda may be happening than mere $ profit.

This makes attending a hospital in this era with any cold or flu, dangerous, as ventilators are known to damage the lungs and should only be used in extreme situations where no other option is available. It\'s also common knowledge that hospitals around the world are refusing to use anti-viral medications, as it\'s not a part of the CoVID19 Agenda to use them, with early political demonisation.

In the case of SARS-CoV-2 the spike protein is the part of\r\nthe virus that is used to \"break in\". It\'s not dangerous in itself, it\'s part\r\nof the toolkit this virus uses to gain control of cells and make more viruses.\r\n\r\nIn order for the human immune system to fight against a foreign chemical or\r\n\"antigen\" (usually a protein of some kind since living things use proteins as\r\nbuilding blocks) it needs to be exposed to the antigen and build antibodies\r\n(and other immune responses). Many of the vaccines use methods of delivering\r\nor generating the spike protein in order to \"teach\" the immune system what to\r\nbe alert to. Some use \"killed\" viruses instead, but none of these are in use\r\nin the USA and Europe to my knowledge.\r\n\r\nSo, vaccines are not inherently damaging, as you state. They cause your \r\nimmune system to react, which is the point, and this can result in soreness\r\nat the injection site, fevers, aches, and similar symptoms. Yes, anaphylactic\r\nshock can result from an allergic reaction to the vaccine itself - as it can\r\nfrom peanuts, eggs, insect bites or seafood for example. In the UK, as I said in the show, we\r\nare asked to wait for 15 minutes after our vaccination in case such an\r\nallergic reaction is triggered, and there are medics nearby to deal with any\r\nsuch emergencies.','2021-10-30 13:51:41'),

Of course it\'s not anything like as commonly taught in schools anymore, but it\'s still there in the background, serving as the model against which the grammar of the vernacular has traditionally been constructed. For the Sclavonic languages, such as Russian, the paradigm is Classical Greek.\r\n\r\nIn Latin, there is of course a verb \"habere\" meaning \"to have\" (as well as \"tenere\", \"to hold\"), but it is common to use the copula or being-verb with the dative. In other words, \"I have it\" or \"it belongs to me\" is often expressed with \"id mihi est\", quasi-literally translated into English as \"it to-me is\".\r\n\r\nInterestingly, I have read that, in many languages, whatever \"have\" constructions exist tend to be taken over by the verb meaning \"hold\" or \"grasp\". An obvious example is the way that, in Spanish for example, the verb derived from \"tenere\" is used to mean \"hold\", while the Latin \"habere\" has essentially vanished. English cognates such as \"tenure\", \"tenancy\", and so on also show a movement from the concrete to the abstract.','2022-02-28 21:22:59'),

I also then created a new script.txt in another folder, just to record a couple of bits to insert, so that it would sound the same as the rest of it. Will try to get better at writing the script and avoiding the ums so that it can go straight to HPR. Great stuff!\r\n\r\nFor listeners of the community news, since this show, norrist has put this in PyPI, so even easier to get it. Try it out!','2022-03-09 19:42:53'),

It is challenging to balance freedom of expression among a diverse group of users with different social and moral frameworks. We often forget that, in the United States, government supports freedom of public speech (also within certain guidelines), but organizations may impose their own restrictions on the platforms they own/administer. Their choices are then influenced by their customers\' choices to continue to do business with them or leave.\r\n\r\nThank you for sharing, and I look forward to your next amazing podcast!','2022-03-17 11:29:26'),

(3380,3553,'2022-03-17 11:02:21','Beeza','Free Speech','Hi \"Some Guy\"\r\n\r\nA great episode, raising excellent points, but I feel the crux of the issues you raise is courtesy and dignity rather than free speech per se.\r\n\r\nFree speech generally refers to the ideas you are expressing. How you express them is where courtesy comes in. There is a world of difference between \"If you look at the online manuals you should find the information that will solve your problem\" and \"RTFM!\"\r\n\r\nYou\'ll probably be aware of the controversy about Richard Stallman\'s ejection from the FSF and subsequent readmission. This was a result of his expressing what most people felt were distasteful ideas. Very little of what followed was criticism of RMS\' views based on rational, level-headed argument. It was all about personal insult and trying to shut RMS down, saying he shouldn\'t have expressed his views. There was no respect of his right of free speech. Much as I similarly rejected most of what RMS had said, the episode demonstrated to me that even in the world of \"free culture\" that we claim to support the adherence to the right of true free speech is as tenuous and conditional as it is in wider society.\r\n\r\nI have asked many questions on free software forums over the years and generally found nothing but help and courtesy. However, every now and then I\'ve come across respondents whose primary aim is to show how clever they are and to belittle my relative lack of knowledge. They are the people who give FLOSS a bad image. On the plus side, though, in the same way as you, me and everyone else come to realise that these jerks don\'t represent the majority I think most newbies will as well, provided they don\'t encounter one on their first ever request for help.','2022-03-17 19:18:44'),

(3381,3553,'2022-03-17 20:41:04','Ken Fallon','My thoughts','Hi SGoTI,\r\n\r\nThanks for the thought provoking show. A few observations if I may.\r\n\r\nThe show focused on the concept of freedom of speech from a US centric perspective. It\'s important to remember that other (democratic) countries have their own laws\r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_by_country\r\n\r\nHaving time to consider your points, I feel it\'s fair to say that the Linux Foundation should be running Linux on their computers. Would Steve Jobs be seen in front of a Windows computer, or Bill Gates a Mac ? It\'s\' just bad business to not run your own products.\r\n\r\nFurthermore the \"Shur Mac is Unix\" ideology is dangerous and can be shown to be damaging to the community by focusing people on convenience over moral values. Case in point. Despite the fact that so many \"Linux\" developers run Mac Books, it is still one of the most under supported platforms out there. I tried to get Linux to run on a MacBook with the same specs and release date as my Dell. While there were many issues with the Dell that have been fixed over the years, it\'s still not possible to get a MacBook to run Linux. This is a direct quote from a developer I asked for help. \"I actually gave up on Fedora on my macbook, too many things are broken (wifi, audio, webcam).\"\r\n\r\nI also do not agree that we should welcome developers of closed or even open core applications. This is akin to McDonalds expecting a warm welcome in a vegan club because they put lettuces on a Big Mac.\r\n\r\nDevelopers and the community have a right to a belief in Free Libre and Open Source software, the Commons and related views. It is valid that they should not be welcoming with open arms developments that run against that belief. Provided of course that it is done with courtesy.','2022-03-17 20:55:25'),

The promotion of desktop Linux, is not a priority of the Foundation.\r\n\r\nThe steam deck will use Arch Linux because it is cheaper to use linux than it is to pay licensing fees for a proprietary OS. Using a high quality rolling release Linux is also cheaper than writing one\'s own OS. In this regard, Valve is standing on the shoulders of the devs who have put decades of work into making Arch what it is today. The Arch community owes absolutely nothing to Valve; and without Linux, Valve wouldn\'t have a product to sell.','2022-03-22 19:23:46'),
