This caught my attention because I use (not right now, anyway) to work in a related design field.

Both your words and actions illustrate the importance of maintaining an open and democratic Internet.\r\n\r\nRight now, Congress is debating a few pieces of legislation concerning the very real issue of online piracy, including the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) and the Online Protection and Digital ENforcement Act (OPEN). We want to take this opportunity to tell you what the Administration will support—and what we will not support. Any effective legislation should reflect a wide range of stakeholders, including everyone from content creators to the engineers that build and maintain the infrastructure of the Internet.\r\n\r\nWhile we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.\r\n\r\nAny effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by our dynamic businesses large and small. Across the globe, the openness of the Internet is increasingly central to innovation in business, government, and society and it must be protected. To minimize this risk, new legislation must be narrowly targeted only at sites beyond the reach of current U.S. law, cover activity clearly prohibited under existing U.S. laws, and be effectively tailored, with strong due process and focused on criminal activity. Any provision covering Internet intermediaries such as online advertising networks, payment processors, or search engines must be transparent and designed to prevent overly broad private rights of action that could encourage unjustified litigation that could discourage startup businesses and innovative firms from growing.\r\n\r\nWe must avoid creating new cybersecurity risks or disrupting the underlying architecture of the Internet. Proposed laws must not tamper with the technical architecture of the Internet through manipulation of the Domain Name System (DNS), a foundation of Internet security. Our analysis of the DNS filtering provisions in some proposed legislation suggests that they pose a real risk to cybersecurity and yet leave contraband goods and services accessible online. We must avoid legislation that drives users to dangerous, unreliable DNS servers and puts next-generation security policies, such as the deployment of DNSSEC, at risk.\r\n\r\nLet us be clear—online piracy is a real problem that harms the American economy, threatens jobs for significant numbers of middle class workers and hurts some of our nation\'s most creative and innovative companies and entrepreneurs. It harms everyone from struggling artists to production crews, and from startup social media companies to large movie studios. While we are strongly committed to the vigorous enforcement of intellectual property rights, existing tools are not strong enough to root out the worst online pirates beyond our borders. That is why the Administration calls on all sides to work together to pass sound legislation this year that provides prosecutors and rights holders new legal tools to combat online piracy originating beyond U.S. borders while staying true to the principles outlined above in this response. We should never let criminals hide behind a hollow embrace of legitimate American values.\r\n\r\nThis is not just a matter for legislation. We expect and encourage all private parties, including both content creators and Internet platform providers working together, to adopt voluntary measures and best practices to reduce online piracy.\r\n\r\nSo, rather than just look at how legislation can be stopped, ask yourself: Where do we go from here? Don’t limit your opinion to what’s the wrong thing to do, ask yourself what’s right. Already, many of members of Congress are asking for public input around the issue. We are paying close attention to those opportunities, as well as to public input to the Administration. The organizer of this petition and a random sample of the signers will be invited to a conference call to discuss this issue further with Administration officials and soon after that, we will host an online event to get more input and answer your questions. Details on that will follow in the coming days.\r\n\r\nWashington needs to hear your best ideas about how to clamp down on rogue websites and other criminals who make money off the creative efforts of American artists and rights holders. We should all be committed to working with all interested constituencies to develop new legal tools to protect global intellectual property rights without jeopardizing the openness of the Internet. Our hope is that you will bring enthusiasm and know-how to this important challenge.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue to work with Congress on a bipartisan basis on legislation that provides new tools needed in the global fight against piracy and counterfeiting, while vigorously defending an open Internet based on the values of free expression, privacy, security and innovation. Again, thank you for taking the time to participate in this important process.

It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD provides two main modelling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines. Autocad DXF files can be used as the data exchange format for such 2D outlines. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.','2022-02-14 13:18:05'), -(2377,2518,'2018-04-06 15:33:39','Steve','Really a different category of software','If the question is, \"can you do 3D modeling with OpenSCAD?\", then the answer is yes. However, as I understand it, considering OpenSCAD an alternative to things like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks and others, is a bit tough. The open source world also has Blender, with which you can do 3D modeling too. But again, as I understand it, the way these options work is a lot different and they lack many of the features present in the commercial products.\r\n\r\nIt is worth mentioning that there are a few 3D modeling options out there that are not open source, but do work with Linux due to the fact that they are cloud/web based. OnShape.com comes to mind.\r\n\r\nSo, while there are alternatives, sort of, Fusion 360 seems to be becoming the software of choice in \"Maker\" circles.\r\n\r\nI am a beginner at this, so these are mostly just my perceptions. Eventually, I may be able to speak with more authority, or at least more experience.','2018-04-06 15:36:14'), -(2378,2521,'2018-04-07 10:00:40','clacke','Re: AND THEN IT\'S GOT DIVS IN IT!!','To be clear, the HTML that had the divs in it was the asciidoc output, which I have just recently started using.

It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD provides two main modelling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines. Autocad DXF files can be used as the data exchange format for such 2D outlines. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.','2022-02-14 13:18:05'), +(2377,2518,'2018-04-06 15:33:39','Steve','Really a different category of software','If the question is, \"can you do 3D modeling with OpenSCAD?\", then the answer is yes. However, as I understand it, considering OpenSCAD an alternative to things like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks and others, is a bit tough. The open source world also has Blender, with which you can do 3D modeling too. But again, as I understand it, the way these options work is a lot different and they lack many of the features present in the commercial products.\r\n\r\nIt is worth mentioning that there are a few 3D modeling options out there that are not open source, but do work with Linux due to the fact that they are cloud/web based. OnShape.com comes to mind.\r\n\r\nSo, while there are alternatives, sort of, Fusion 360 seems to be becoming the software of choice in \"Maker\" circles.\r\n\r\nI am a beginner at this, so these are mostly just my perceptions.

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.

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.

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'), +(3372,3515,'2022-03-03 18:11:04','Archer72','On my list','Hi Ken, this subject is on my list to try.','2022-03-04 20:54:57'), +(3373,1743,'2022-03-05 15:50:52','Ken Fallon','Thank you Lord D','Although he has passed, his wisdom continues to guide us.','2022-03-05 19:29:20'), +(3374,3496,'2022-03-09 19:25:17','dnt','I use it','Thanks for this!

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.

\r\n

\r\nThe important thing you must keep in mind is that this relies on you using your GPG keys to either sign or encrypt the message before it leaves your computer, what Steve Gibson calls Pre-Interent Encryption, or PIE. The flaw in what Lavabit did (discussed in previous lesson) was to use keys that the mail provider controlled, and these keys could be (and were) demanded by the the government.. If you use your own GPG keys that you control, no provider (Google, in this case) is even capable of giving anything to the government other than a blob of random nonsense.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nTo do this, I will use an extension for Googles Chrome Browser called Mailvelope. This is also available for Firefox, but in my case I use Chrome to access my Gmail account., so using a Chrome extension makes sense for me. The first thing to do is go to the Chrome store, search for Mailvelope, and install it.\r\n

\r\nOne of the issues in using public key encryption is ensuring you know who you are communicating with, and that you have correctly matched the owner to the key. Otherwise, your communication could be intercepted and decrypted by a third-party. The way we solve this problem is with key signing, which is often done at key signing parties. We discuss all this with Tony Bemus of the Sunday Morning Linux Review. \r\n

Since the main purpose of a spreadsheet is to perform calculations it is appropriate that we consider just how this is done.

\r\n

In general, a cell of a spreadsheet can contain one of three things:

\r\n\r\n

All calculations are done using formulas. A formula occurs whenever a cell has contents that begin with an equals sign, which is the signal to Calc that it needs to perform a calculation. For instance, if a cell contains \"A3+B3\", Calc would examine this, see the letters and the plus sign, and decide that the contents of the cell were a text string. After all, it cannot be a pure number with those other things there. But place an equals sign in front, so that the contents now read \"=A3+B3\" and Calc knows that this is formula, and will perform the calculation. And one of the best ways to interact with a cell that contains a formula is to use the Formula Bar, which normally appears just above the cells of the spreadsheet proper:

\r\nThe next topic is extremely important because it addresses where most beginning users of spreadsheets get into trouble. First, understand that building models and doing \"What-If\" analysis is fundamental to the success and widespread adoption of spreadsheets all over the world. A model can be thought of as a mathematical representation of a process of some kind. It could be financial, such as projecting my sales over the next year, or perhaps working out when my car loan will be paid off. Or it could be scientific, such as projecting out the reaction times and quantities in a chemical reaction. The only real requirement is that whatever you are modeling has to be something that can be represented using mathematical formulas of some kind.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\"What-If\" analysis takes this model and lets you experiment to see how how changes in different variables affect the results in your model. If I am figuring out when my car loan will be paid off, I might ask how paying an extra $20 per month against the principle would affect my results (presumably, it should lead to getting it paid off sooner if I set the model up correctly.) Or in the case of the chemical process, how would different temperatures or pressures affect the reaction times and quantities? By experimenting with different values in my model I can do this comparison easily. But only if I built the model properly in the first place.\r\n

\r\nOne of the key techniques in using a spreadsheet is to master the art of fills, which lets you fill a column or a row with data without having to type in every cell individually. And this technique requires that there be a predictable pattern to the contents of each cell as you fill them. But you can do a lot with this technique, and we will want to use this when we do our first model, which will be a simple savings model.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nBut first we need to build the tools in our tool kit, and fills are a big one. To begin with, you can fill either rows or columns, though columns are more frequently filled using this technique. Still, it is good to know you can do either. The simplest fill begins with a cell that has some kind of contents. For example, lets say that cell B1 contains the word \"Rain\". If you click on the cell, you will see it highlighted with a thick black border\r\n

In the previous tutorial we discussed the fundamental ideas of building models and doing “What-If?” analysis. Now we need to take these ideas and put them into practice so you can see how this works. To do this I will create a simple model of savings over time. Now, I do want to be clear that this is a very over-simplified model and should not be taken as a good predictor of actual results. The idea is to illustrate the techniques involved in building a model and doing “What-If?” analysis.

So. what are the variables, parameters, assumptions, etc. that we need? I have identified these in my model:

\r\nIn today\'s show we continue our look at The OSI model for network communications, with examples of Layer 3 been given with particular focus on Geography diverse Host addressing. \r\n

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_layer_3

\r\n\r\n

In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, the network layer is layer 3. The network layer is responsible for packet forwarding including routing through intermediate routers, whereas the data link layer is responsible for media access control, flow control and error checking.

\r\n\r\n

Functions

\r\n

The network layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable-length data sequences from a source to a destination host via one or more networks, while maintaining the quality of service functions.

\r\n

Functions of the network layer include:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n
For example, IP is connectionless, in that a datagram can travel from a sender to a recipient without the recipient having to send an acknowledgement. Connection-oriented protocols exist at other, higher layers of the OSI model.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Every host in the network must have a unique address that determines where it is. This address is normally assigned from a hierarchical system. For example, you can be \"Fred Murphy\" to people in your house, \"Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street\" to Dubliners, or \"Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street, Dublin\" to people in Ireland, or \"Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street, Dublin, Ireland\" to people anywhere in the world. On the Internet, addresses are known as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Since many networks are partitioned into subnetworks and connect to other networks for wide-area communications, networks use specialized hosts, called gateways or routers, to forward packets between networks. This is also of interest to mobile applications, where a user may move from one location to another, and it must be arranged that his messages follow him. Version 4 of the Internet Protocol (IPv4) was not designed with this feature in mind, although mobility extensions exist. IPv6 has a better designed solution.
\r\n
\r\n

Within the service layering semantics of the OSI network architecture, the network layer responds to service requests from the transport layer and issues service requests to the data link layer.

Blather Speech Recognition for Linux: Jon has a conversation with his computer

\r\n

In this episode I have a blather conversation with my computer. This is a sort of appendix to an episode I released earlier (hpr 1284 https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=1284) which was a conversation with Jezra, the lead developer of the blather speech recognition program for Linux. The current episode will make much more sense if you listen to the previous one first.

\r\n

For the most part I use blather as an accessibility tool, to manipulate my desktop and generally to save myself hundreds of keystrokes a day. This is important because of my repetitive strain injuries. Blather allows me to do many “productivity” tasks using only my voice. I also like to have fun with it, though, and this “conversation” is an example of the sort of goofy stuff I like to do. When the computer hears me say certain predefined phrases, it runs commands. For example when I say “what’s for dinner,” it shuffles the contents of a plaintext file that has about 20 options for dinner, chooses the top option and pipes it through my default text-to-speech program, which is either espeak or festival, depending on what I set as the environment variable in my blather startup script. When it hears me ask for certain other information, such as “what day is it?” and “what’s today’s date?”, it runs the appropriate system command and pipes the output through the text-to-speech program. For information about blather, the various back-end things that make it work, examples of my blather scripts and configuration files, visit the links below.

\r\nThe next topic is extremely important because it addresses where most beginning users of spreadsheets get into trouble. First, understand that building models and doing \"What-If\" analysis is fundamental to the success and widespread adoption of spreadsheets all over the world. A model can be thought of as a mathematical representation of a process of some kind. It could be financial, such as projecting my sales over the next year, or perhaps working out when my car loan will be paid off. Or it could be scientific, such as projecting out the reaction times and quantities in a chemical reaction. The only real requirement is that whatever you are modeling has to be something that can be represented using mathematical formulas of some kind.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\"What-If\" analysis takes this model and lets you experiment to see how how changes in different variables affect the results in your model. If I am figuring out when my car loan will be paid off, I might ask how paying an extra $20 per month against the principle would affect my results (presumably, it should lead to getting it paid off sooner if I set the model up correctly.) Or in the case of the chemical process, how would different temperatures or pressures affect the reaction times and quantities? By experimenting with different values in my model I can do this comparison easily. But only if I built the model properly in the first place.\r\n

\r\nOne of the key techniques in using a spreadsheet is to master the art of fills, which lets you fill a column or a row with data without having to type in every cell individually. And this technique requires that there be a predictable pattern to the contents of each cell as you fill them. But you can do a lot with this technique, and we will want to use this when we do our first model, which will be a simple savings model.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nBut first we need to build the tools in our tool kit, and fills are a big one. To begin with, you can fill either rows or columns, though columns are more frequently filled using this technique. Still, it is good to know you can do either. The simplest fill begins with a cell that has some kind of contents. For example, lets say that cell B1 contains the word \"Rain\". If you click on the cell, you will see it highlighted with a thick black border\r\n

In the previous tutorial we discussed the fundamental ideas of building models and doing “What-If?” analysis. Now we need to take these ideas and put them into practice so you can see how this works. To do this I will create a simple model of savings over time. Now, I do want to be clear that this is a very over-simplified model and should not be taken as a good predictor of actual results. The idea is to illustrate the techniques involved in building a model and doing “What-If?” analysis.

So. what are the variables, parameters, assumptions, etc. that we need? I have identified these in my model:

\r\nIn today\'s show we continue our look at The OSI model for network communications, with examples of Layer 3 been given with particular focus on Geography diverse Host addressing. \r\n

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_layer_3

\r\n\r\n

In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, the network layer is layer 3. The network layer is responsible for packet forwarding including routing through intermediate routers, whereas the data link layer is responsible for media access control, flow control and error checking.

\r\n\r\n

Functions

\r\n

The network layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable-length data sequences from a source to a destination host via one or more networks, while maintaining the quality of service functions.

\r\n

Functions of the network layer include:

\r\n\r\n
\r\n
For example, IP is connectionless, in that a datagram can travel from a sender to a recipient without the recipient having to send an acknowledgement. Connection-oriented protocols exist at other, higher layers of the OSI model.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Every host in the network must have a unique address that determines where it is. This address is normally assigned from a hierarchical system. For example, you can be \"Fred Murphy\" to people in your house, \"Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street\" to Dubliners, or \"Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street, Dublin\" to people in Ireland, or \"Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street, Dublin, Ireland\" to people anywhere in the world. On the Internet, addresses are known as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Since many networks are partitioned into subnetworks and connect to other networks for wide-area communications, networks use specialized hosts, called gateways or routers, to forward packets between networks. This is also of interest to mobile applications, where a user may move from one location to another, and it must be arranged that his messages follow him. Version 4 of the Internet Protocol (IPv4) was not designed with this feature in mind, although mobility extensions exist. IPv6 has a better designed solution.
\r\n
\r\n

Within the service layering semantics of the OSI network architecture, the network layer responds to service requests from the transport layer and issues service requests to the data link layer.

Blather Speech Recognition for Linux: Jon has a conversation with his computer

\r\n

In this episode I have a blather conversation with my computer. This is a sort of appendix to an episode I released earlier (hpr 1284 https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=1284) which was a conversation with Jezra, the lead developer of the blather speech recognition program for Linux. The current episode will make much more sense if you listen to the previous one first.

\r\n

For the most part I use blather as an accessibility tool, to manipulate my desktop and generally to save myself hundreds of keystrokes a day. This is important because of my repetitive strain injuries. Blather allows me to do many “productivity” tasks using only my voice. I also like to have fun with it, though, and this “conversation” is an example of the sort of goofy stuff I like to do. When the computer hears me say certain predefined phrases, it runs commands. For example when I say “what’s for dinner,” it shuffles the contents of a plaintext file that has about 20 options for dinner, chooses the top option and pipes it through my default text-to-speech program, which is either espeak or festival, depending on what I set as the environment variable in my blather startup script. When it hears me ask for certain other information, such as “what day is it?” and “what’s today’s date?”, it runs the appropriate system command and pipes the output through the text-to-speech program. For information about blather, the various back-end things that make it work, examples of my blather scripts and configuration files, visit the links below.

Overview

This is the fourth show about the Bash functions I use, and it may be the last unless I come up with something else that I think might be of general interest.

There is only one function to look at this time, but it\'s fairly complex so needs an entire episode devoted to it.

\r\n

As before it would be interesting to receive feedback on this function and would be great if other Bash users contributed ideas of their own.

Awk Series Part 9 - printf

\n

The printf function allows for greater control over the output, in comparison to print.

\n

To follow along, you can either use these show notes or refer to the gawk manual.

\n

There are 3 main areas to cover:

\n\n

Syntax

\n
printf format, item1, item2, …
\n

The big difference in the syntax of printf statements is the format argument. It allows you to use complex formatting and layouts for outputs. Unlike print, printf does not automatically start a new line after the function. This can be useful when you want to print all of the items in a column on a single line.

\n

For example, remember the example file, file1.csv:

\n
name,color,amount\napple,red,4\nbanana,yellow,6\nstrawberry,red,3\ngrape,purple,10\napple,green,8\nplum,purple,2\nkiwi,brown,4\npotato,brown,9\npineapple,yellow,5
\n

Look at the difference between the following outputs:

\n
awk -F, 'NR!=1{print "Color", $2, "has", $3}' file1.csv
\n

and

\n
awk -F, 'NR!=1{printf "Color %s has %s. ", $2, $3}' file1.csv
\n

Control Letters

\n

Control letters control or cast the output to specific types. Use it as a way to convert ints to floats, ints to chars, etc.

\n

%c = to char. printf "%c", 65 prints a
\n%i, %d = to int. printf "%i", 3.4 prints 3
\n%f = to float. printf "%c", 65 prints 65.000000
\n%e, %E = to scientific notation. printf "%e", 65 prints 6.500000e+01. If you use %E will use a capital E instead of e.
\n%g = to either scientific notation or int. printf "%.2g", 65 prints 65, while printf "%.1g", 65 prints 6e+01
\n%s = to string. printf "%s", 65 prints 65
\n%u = to unsigned int. printf "%u", -6 prints 18446744073709551610

\n

There are others. See documentation.

\n

Formatting

\n

N$ = positional specifier. printf "%2$s %1$s", "second", "first"
\nn = spaces to the left of the string.
\n-n = spaces to the right of string.
\nspace = prefix positive numbers with a space, negative numbers with a -
\n+ = prefix all numbers with a sign (either + or -)
\n0n = leading 0\'s before input. printf "%03i", 65 prints 065.
\n\' = comma place holder for thousands. printf "%\'i", 6500 prints 6,500

\n

Below is an (crude) illustration of how I like to think when formatting output:

\n
          7          2\n├──────┼───────┼────┼──┤\n Color: RedXXXX Sum: X6
\n
       18            3\n├──────────────────╂───┤\n Total Sum:XXXXXXXX X34
\n

See the following awk file

\n
BEGIN {\n    FS=",";\n}\nNR != 1 {\n    a[$2]+=$3;\n    c+=$3;\n    d+=1;\n}\nEND {\n    for (b in a) {\n        printf "Color: %-7s Sum: %2i\\n", b, a[b];\n    }\n    print "----------------------"\n    printf "%-18s %3i\\n", "Total Sum:", c;\n    printf "%-18s %3i\\n", "Total Count:", d;\n    printf "%-18s %3.1f\\n", "Mean:", c / d;\n}
\n

Just a quick and dirty episode on my attempt to solve the problem of listening to audio books at work or anytime you can\'t fully concentrate on the important thing, the audio book, of course.

\r\n

Problem

\r\n

I have more time to listen to books than to read them. I have no issues listening to audio books on my commute or when taking walks. The problem occurs at work. I have about 4 hours a day I could be listening to audio books. Over the years I\'ve tried countless times, all with the same result. I get distracted by work and find I\'ve missed key parts of the story and end up listening to music or podcasts I don\'t mind missing instead.

\r\n

There\'s nothing wrong with music or podcasts I don\'t mind missing but that doesn\'t help with my growing list of books I want to \'read\'.

\r\n

I decided to treat this like a regular problem and break it down to see if I can find a solution to this problem.

\r\n

Here are the variable I have to play with. These might be different for you.

\r\n\r\n

Design goals

\r\n

Be able to listen to an audio book and have reasonable comprehension. Super Simple. I can\'t be seen as messing around with my player more than whatever it is that\'s keeping me from my player :)

\r\n

Normally I listen to books in one large file because at one point in time it was easier for me to keep track of them in my player and bookmarking was easier for my little brain to handle. But I got to thinking this might solve the problem of wasted time when needing to repeat sections of the book. If the book were broken into pieces, I wouldn\'t need to repeat as often. I tried listening to 3 chapters at a time and had two issues. The first is that 3 chapters is still quite a bit of time and I was repeating sections I didn\'t need to repeat. For example, I might have been able to follow along with chapter 1 but not chapters 2 and 3. This meant repeating chapter 1 or messing around to manually skip chapter 1 when I repeat. Not good.

\r\n

The second issue I had when listening to 3 chapter chunks was spoilers. If I got distracted during chapter 1 but not chapter 3, chapter 3 would contain spoilers for chapter 1 and chapter 1 would be spoiled on the re-listen :)

\r\n

Solution

\r\n

As it turns out listening in 1 chapter chunks solved both of these issues. So now I play one chapter on a loop until I feel I comprehend it well enough and then move to the next. This reduces the time when I need to re-listen because I was distracted and is simple because I only need to mess with the player when I\'m ready to move to the next chapter.

\r\n

It also reduces the spoiler issue. While there are still spoilers, they are limited to spoiling the same chapter. A good enough compromise for me.

\r\n

As far as playback speed goes, I like to speed audio up when I can concentrate on the audio but prefer to listen at normal speed when I can\'t.

\r\n

Other considerations

\r\n

Some content might lend itself more to being broken into chunks by time rather than chapters. After all, not all chapters are the same length and podcasts don\'t usually have chapters. Assuming I decide to stick with this approach, I\'ll probably try running podcasts which require one to pay attention through a script that splits them up into chunks based on duration and treat those chunks as chapters in books.

\r\n

If you try this and find it useful and/or have modifications, by all means, share.

\r\n

Also, if this is a well known technique, feel free to make fun of me. It\'ll be fun listening to the comments being read on the community news show.

OUR AUDIO

\r\n

This episode was processed using Audacity https://audacity.sourceforge.net/. We\'ve been making small adjustments to our audio mix each month in order to get the best possible sound. It\'s been especially challenging getting all of our voices relatively level, because everyone has their own unique setup. Mumble is great for bringing us all together, and for recording, but it\'s not good at making everyone\'s voice the same volume. We\'re pretty happy with the way this month\'s show turned out, so we\'d like to share our editing process and settings with you and our future selves (who, of course, will have forgotten all this by then).

\r\n

Mumble uses a sample rate of 48kHz, but HPR requires a sample rate of 44.1kHz so the first step in our audio process is to resample the file at 44.1kHz. Resampling can take a long time if you don\'t have a powerful computer, and sometimes even if you do. If you record late at night, like we do, you may want to start the task before you go to bed, and save it first thing in the morning, so that the file is ready to go the next time you are.

\r\n

Next we use the \"Compressor\" effect with the following settings:

\r\n \r\n

After compressing the audio we cut any pre-show and post-show chatter from the file and save them in a separate file for possible use as outtakes after the closing music.

\r\n

At this point we listen back to the whole file and we work on the shownotes. This is when we can cut out anything that needs to be cut, and we can also make sure that we put any links in the shownotes that were talked about during the recording of the show. We finish the shownotes before exporting the .aup file to .FLAC so that we can paste a copy of the shownotes into the audio file\'s metadata. We use the \"Truncate Silence\" effect with its default settings to minimize the silence between people speaking. When used with its default (or at least reasonable) settings, Truncate Silence is extremely effective and satisfying. It makes everyone sound smarter, it makes the file shorter without destroying actual content, and it makes a conversations sound as easy and fluid during playback as it was while it was recorded. It can be even more effective if you can train yourself to remain silent instead of saying \"uuuuummmm.\" Just remember to ONLY pass the file through Truncate Silence ONCE. If you pass it through a second time, or if you set it too aggressively your audio may sound sped up and choppy.

\r\n

At this point we add new, empty audio tracks into which we paste the intro, outro and possibly outtakes, and we rename each track accordingly.

\r\n

We adjust the Gain so that the VU meter in Audacity hovers around -12db while people are speaking, and we try to keep the peaks under -6db, and we adjust the Gain on each of the new tracks so that all volumes are similar, and more importantly comfortable. Once this is done we can \"Mix and Render\" all of our tracks into a single track for export to the .FLAC file which is uploaded to the HPR FTP server.

\r\n

Remember to save often when using Audacity. We like to save after each of these steps. Audacity has a reputation for being \"crashy\" but if you remember save after every major transform, you will wonder how it ever got that reputation.

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING

\r\n

hosted by Lostnbronx

\r\n

Turning a large audio file into a tiny video file for a very specific use case.

\r\n

This solution probably won\'t work for you, because none of the ones I found on the Internet worked for me. Trial and error led me here, and it\'s probably the only guide you\'ll have as well.

\r\n

Start with as high a quality audio file as you can manage. .wav is good, but it\'s big. Let\'s convert it to .flac. If you already have a .flac file, skip this part.

\r\n

1.) Convert .wav to .flac.

\r\n
sox INPUT.wav OUTPUT.flac
\r\n

2.) Convert the .flac to a very small mono .opus. Bitrate can be even smaller. I went down to 14.

\r\n
opusenc --bitrate 18 --downmix-mono INPUT.flac OUTPUT.opus
\r\n

3.) Combine the .opus file with a single static image, and output to a .webm video. This should not be very much bigger in file size than the .opus and .jpg combined. The smaller the image file, the better. (I tried using a .gif, but it was actually bigger than the .jpg I ended up with.)

\r\n
ffmpeg -i INPUT.opus -r 1 -loop 1 -i INPUT.jpg -c:v libvpx -tune stillimage -shortest -y -c:a copy OUTPUT.webm
\r\n

The final file. It doesn\'t sound great, but it\'s listenable, which is all that was desired.

Here\'s a better quality version of the audiobook.

\r\n

The process and final result can be improved upon by people smarter than I, without doubt, but this works for now.

\r\n

SPECIAL THANKS to the Urandom guys (X1101, Thaj, and Pokey), Monsterjavaguns (Jason van Gumster), and the ever-fabulous Klaatu, for their suggestions and encouragement. I would not have found a solution to this, nor even thought to do an episode of HPR, without them!

Making a Raspberry Pi inventory

\r\n

Introduction

\r\n

I have a number of Raspberry Pis -- possibly too many -- and I sometimes lose track of which is which, what model, size, name, address each one is. I wanted to be able to keep an inventory of them all, and to this end I wrote myself a little script that can be run on any Pi which will report useful information about it.

\r\n

Every Pi has a unique serial number. Actually it\'s randomly generated so there may be a few collisions but it\'s close to unique! It also contains a revision number which encodes various items of information about it such as release date, model, PCB revision and memory. My script decodes this revision number for you based on a published table.

\r\n

I run a Wikimedia instance on a Pi and have used this script to record details of my Pis there as well as what they are being used for and any planned projects. I now feel more organised!

How I Got Into Podcasting

\r\n

The Background

\r\n

Audio production has always been an interest of mine: my late grandfather was an audiophile, my dad ran an AV studio in Woking (the one where the Spice Girls were formed - my dad got mentioned in a couple of their autobiographies) and now runs his own AV consultancy business, and my cousin also runs an AV consultancy... so there’s a definite family history in there.

\r\n

I dabbled briefly with hospital radio (as a technician, rather than a presenter) in the late 80’s, and I was a technician and presenter on College Radio in the early 90’s where I hosted a show called “The Barry Manilow Fan Club” on Friday lunchtimes.

\r\n

Yes, I am a huge fan of Barry Manilow - he’s given me a lot of inspiration as a musician - no, I didn’t play any Barry on the College Radio show.

\r\n

I’d also had a few people say that I had a good radio voice. Others say a good radio face, but I don’t like them anymore.

\r\n

The Catalyst

\r\n

In 2007, I discovered this podcasting lark through a couple of friends who had their own podcasts. One was The Random Three: a personal musical journey where Mark - the host - would play three seemingly-random pieces of music from his own collection (thus, not podsafe) and explain the reasons why he chose them. Most of the time, these seemingly-random tracks actually had a theme, but it didn’t necessarily become apparent until after the second track. It was a great show - now sadly defunct - and I really miss it. I even submitted my own music choices for Mark to present.

\r\n

The other was Dumbed Down Life: three chaps nattering about “stuff” and playing some music along with it. Another great show, which - although it still exists - currently releases episodes every year or so.

\r\n

What drew me to these shows - apart from being friends, was the fact that these were regular guys, not professionals.

\r\n

That led me to think “I can do that”, so I set about proving - to myself, mostly - that I could.

\r\n

The Start

\r\n

One Thursday in early March 2008, when the wife had gone to the gym for a couple of hours, I grabbed my Logitech headset, my Linux laptop, a handful of tracks from the Podsafe Music Network, and a piece of software called IDJC, and recorded the first ever episode of The Bugcast. It was just over 22 minutes long, and it was dire. Utterly dire. Every so often, I go back to it and listen and cringe and marvel at how much better the show is now!

\r\n

The music back then wasn’t strictly podsafe either: the first track I played was Moloko’s Sing It Back… but I didn’t worry about it then, as I got the track from a source that gave implicit permission for use in podcasts.

\r\n

I did do a show - episode 20 - which was a nostalgic trip back to my college years, where I played tracks by Chad Jackson, Japan, and Dream Warriors. This was a complete and intentional violation of copyright on my part, which led me to pull the show only a few weeks later. I did rerelease the show two years after that, but with the offending tracks removed. However, there is a story to the show, so I would recommend you go listen.

\r\n

Back then, it was just me and a small listener-base of friends, their family, their families’ servants; their families’ servants’ tennis partners, and some chap I bumped into in the mess the other day called Bernard. But as time went on and I got more experience, I was really enjoying what I was doing, and started to experiment.

\r\n

One thing I did discover by about episode 16 is that I wasn’t editing my shows in post, aside from topping and tailing silence. This made it so much easier for me as I was recording the shows as-live from the very beginning, but taking out the vocal gaps, gaffes and the like. So there was really only one place to go from there...

\r\n

Going live

\r\n

So in August 2008, on episode 24, to an audience of about 10 people, I streamed the first LIVE episode of the podcast. Wow, that was such a buzz! It was a major turning point in the show as I committed myself to do a regular show at a set time each week... turning a fun hobby into something a little step beyond amateur. There were a couple of non-live shows that I had to put together using the wife’s Windows machine when my laptop went bang and had to be repaired, but I hated doing that because I didn’t like the piecemeal sticky-tape method of production. There was little flow, and my spoken links between the music sounded very much like a bad Radio 4 anchor.

\r\n

In late September 2008, I was accepted as a member of the now-defunct Association of Music Podcasting. This was another major step for me. All member of the Association were peer-reviewed as part of the criteria for membership. This meant that my podcast was sufficiently good to be accepted. That meant so much to me, and made me take things so much more seriously (and was the main reason why I pulled episode 20 just prior)

\r\n

It also meant that the show was becoming more music-oriented - something I really did not have a problem with! Particularly as I was starting to strike up good relationships with some of the artists that I was featuring on the show. This led to me prerecording an interview with one of the bands in January 2009, and then again with another artist in March.

\r\n

Having registered a proper domain for the podcast (rather than piggybacking my own personal domain) and then celebrated the first anniversary of the show... you could say that the show was fuelling its own progression. And I was enjoying that journey immensely!

\r\n

Over the next 6 months, I joined the Made In The UK Show collective, interviewed an artist LIVE on the show, had the show syndicated on an internet radio station in the UK, and launched a new, independent chatroom for the website.

\r\n

The Major Change

\r\n

And then, in September of 2009, the 18 month anniversary of the show, and two days before my birthday, something happened to totally turn the show upside down.

\r\n

I decided that I wanted to improve the show. Bearing in mind that I was still using my Logitech headset, my Linux laptop, and a piece of software called IDJC to record and stream the show, I felt it was time for a change. So I spent a small fortune on a mixer, microphones, stands, audio interface, and cables.

\r\n

Yes, microphones. Plural.

\r\n

Up to this point my wife, Caroline, had progressed from occasional listener, to regular distraction (I don’t think details are appropriate!), to researcher. So I asked her a question... if I bought two microphones, would you join the show as a permanent co-host? She said yes.

\r\n

That really changed things. The dynamic of me talking to an imaginary audience (bar the activity in the live chatroom) changing to me bouncing off someone in the same room was electric! The show was totally transformed by that fairly simple change. Our listener figures jumped up, the music on the show was more varied, existing listeners enjoyed the show more... it was amazing.

\r\n

There have been occasions where Caroline hasn’t been able to join the show (illness, kids, etc) and the listeners (and I) have really noticed her absence.

\r\n

Since Then

\r\n\r\n

So there’s a potted history of how I got into podcasting.

Tuning around the band

\r\n

In this episode I tune around a small portion of the HF (High Frequency) band in the 40 Meters section which in the UK covers 7 to 7.2Mhz.

\r\n

Equipment details

\r\n

The mode being used was mostly LSB (Lower Side Band)
\r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideband

\r\n

At the end of the recording I briefly switch mode to to listen to a commercial station on AM (Amplitude modulation).
\r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation

\r\n

The radio being used is my trusty and much loved Kenwood TS 940S
\r\nhttps://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/ts940s.html

\r\n

The antenna used is a dipole tuned for the 40 Meter band.
\r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

\r\n

I used my trusty Dictaphone and internal microphone to do the recording

\r\n

If you want to hold private conversations with another party over radio then perhaps amateur radio is not for you as this goes against the whole principle of Amateur Radio.

\r\n

Listening to amateur radio broadcasts is actively encouraged, and in the UK a licence is not required for listening.

\r\n

A simple receiver capable of listening to sideband broadcasts and odd bit of long wire is all that\'s required.

\r\n

In the past it was common to hear an Amateur operator saying goodbye to any short wave listeners at the end of their conversation. If you listen carefully at about 10 minutes in the station DF2BO says goodbye to anybody still listening.

Overview

\r\n

This is the fourth show about the Bash functions I use, and it may be the last unless I come up with something else that I think might be of general interest.

\r\n

There is only one function to look at this time, but it\'s fairly complex so needs an entire episode devoted to it.

\r\n

As before it would be interesting to receive feedback on this function and would be great if other Bash users contributed ideas of their own.

Awk Series Part 9 - printf

\n

The printf function allows for greater control over the output, in comparison to print.

\n

To follow along, you can either use these show notes or refer to the gawk manual.

\n

There are 3 main areas to cover:

\n\n

Syntax

\n
printf format, item1, item2, …
\n

The big difference in the syntax of printf statements is the format argument. It allows you to use complex formatting and layouts for outputs. Unlike print, printf does not automatically start a new line after the function. This can be useful when you want to print all of the items in a column on a single line.

\n

For example, remember the example file, file1.csv:

\n
name,color,amount\napple,red,4\nbanana,yellow,6\nstrawberry,red,3\ngrape,purple,10\napple,green,8\nplum,purple,2\nkiwi,brown,4\npotato,brown,9\npineapple,yellow,5
\n

Look at the difference between the following outputs:

\n
awk -F, 'NR!=1{print "Color", $2, "has", $3}' file1.csv
\n

and

\n
awk -F, 'NR!=1{printf "Color %s has %s. ", $2, $3}' file1.csv
\n

Control Letters

\n

Control letters control or cast the output to specific types. Use it as a way to convert ints to floats, ints to chars, etc.

\n

%c = to char. printf "%c", 65 prints a
\n%i, %d = to int. printf "%i", 3.4 prints 3
\n%f = to float. printf "%c", 65 prints 65.000000
\n%e, %E = to scientific notation. printf "%e", 65 prints 6.500000e+01. If you use %E will use a capital E instead of e.
\n%g = to either scientific notation or int. printf "%.2g", 65 prints 65, while printf "%.1g", 65 prints 6e+01
\n%s = to string. printf "%s", 65 prints 65
\n%u = to unsigned int. printf "%u", -6 prints 18446744073709551610

\n

There are others. See documentation.

\n

Formatting

\n

N$ = positional specifier. printf "%2$s %1$s", "second", "first"
\nn = spaces to the left of the string.
\n-n = spaces to the right of string.
\nspace = prefix positive numbers with a space, negative numbers with a -
\n+ = prefix all numbers with a sign (either + or -)
\n0n = leading 0\'s before input. printf "%03i", 65 prints 065.
\n\' = comma place holder for thousands. printf "%\'i", 6500 prints 6,500

\n

Below is an (crude) illustration of how I like to think when formatting output:

\n
          7          2\n├──────┼───────┼────┼──┤\n Color: RedXXXX Sum: X6
\n
       18            3\n├──────────────────╂───┤\n Total Sum:XXXXXXXX X34
\n

See the following awk file

\n
BEGIN {\n    FS=",";\n}\nNR != 1 {\n    a[$2]+=$3;\n    c+=$3;\n    d+=1;\n}\nEND {\n    for (b in a) {\n        printf "Color: %-7s Sum: %2i\\n", b, a[b];\n    }\n    print "----------------------"\n    printf "%-18s %3i\\n", "Total Sum:", c;\n    printf "%-18s %3i\\n", "Total Count:", d;\n    printf "%-18s %3.1f\\n", "Mean:", c / d;\n}
\n

This gives the following output:

\n
Color: brown   Sum: 13\nColor: purple  Sum: 12\nColor: red     Sum:  7\nColor: yellow  Sum: 11\nColor: green   Sum:  8\n----------------------\nTotal Sum:          51\nTotal Count:         9\nMean:              5.7

Just a quick and dirty episode on my attempt to solve the problem of listening to audio books at work or anytime you can\'t fully concentrate on the important thing, the audio book, of course.

\r\n

Problem

\r\n

I have more time to listen to books than to read them. I have no issues listening to audio books on my commute or when taking walks. The problem occurs at work. I have about 4 hours a day I could be listening to audio books. Over the years I\'ve tried countless times, all with the same result. I get distracted by work and find I\'ve missed key parts of the story and end up listening to music or podcasts I don\'t mind missing instead.

\r\n

There\'s nothing wrong with music or podcasts I don\'t mind missing but that doesn\'t help with my growing list of books I want to \'read\'.

\r\n

I decided to treat this like a regular problem and break it down to see if I can find a solution to this problem.

\r\n

Here are the variable I have to play with. These might be different for you.

\r\n\r\n

Design goals

\r\n

Be able to listen to an audio book and have reasonable comprehension. Super Simple. I can\'t be seen as messing around with my player more than whatever it is that\'s keeping me from my player :)

\r\n

Normally I listen to books in one large file because at one point in time it was easier for me to keep track of them in my player and bookmarking was easier for my little brain to handle. But I got to thinking this might solve the problem of wasted time when needing to repeat sections of the book. If the book were broken into pieces, I wouldn\'t need to repeat as often. I tried listening to 3 chapters at a time and had two issues. The first is that 3 chapters is still quite a bit of time and I was repeating sections I didn\'t need to repeat. For example, I might have been able to follow along with chapter 1 but not chapters 2 and 3. This meant repeating chapter 1 or messing around to manually skip chapter 1 when I repeat. Not good.

\r\n

The second issue I had when listening to 3 chapter chunks was spoilers. If I got distracted during chapter 1 but not chapter 3, chapter 3 would contain spoilers for chapter 1 and chapter 1 would be spoiled on the re-listen :)

\r\n

Solution

\r\n

As it turns out listening in 1 chapter chunks solved both of these issues. So now I play one chapter on a loop until I feel I comprehend it well enough and then move to the next. This reduces the time when I need to re-listen because I was distracted and is simple because I only need to mess with the player when I\'m ready to move to the next chapter.

\r\n

It also reduces the spoiler issue. While there are still spoilers, they are limited to spoiling the same chapter. A good enough compromise for me.

\r\n

As far as playback speed goes, I like to speed audio up when I can concentrate on the audio but prefer to listen at normal speed when I can\'t.

\r\n

Other considerations

\r\n

Some content might lend itself more to being broken into chunks by time rather than chapters. After all, not all chapters are the same length and podcasts don\'t usually have chapters. Assuming I decide to stick with this approach, I\'ll probably try running podcasts which require one to pay attention through a script that splits them up into chunks based on duration and treat those chunks as chapters in books.

\r\n

If you try this and find it useful and/or have modifications, by all means, share.

\r\n

Also, if this is a well known technique, feel free to make fun of me. It\'ll be fun listening to the comments being read on the community news show.

\r\n

OUR AUDIO

\r\n

This episode was processed using Audacity https://audacity.sourceforge.net/. We\'ve been making small adjustments to our audio mix each month in order to get the best possible sound. It\'s been especially challenging getting all of our voices relatively level, because everyone has their own unique setup. Mumble is great for bringing us all together, and for recording, but it\'s not good at making everyone\'s voice the same volume. We\'re pretty happy with the way this month\'s show turned out, so we\'d like to share our editing process and settings with you and our future selves (who, of course, will have forgotten all this by then).

\r\n

Mumble uses a sample rate of 48kHz, but HPR requires a sample rate of 44.1kHz so the first step in our audio process is to resample the file at 44.1kHz. Resampling can take a long time if you don\'t have a powerful computer, and sometimes even if you do. If you record late at night, like we do, you may want to start the task before you go to bed, and save it first thing in the morning, so that the file is ready to go the next time you are.

\r\n

Next we use the \"Compressor\" effect with the following settings:

\r\n \r\n

After compressing the audio we cut any pre-show and post-show chatter from the file and save them in a separate file for possible use as outtakes after the closing music.

\r\n

At this point we listen back to the whole file and we work on the shownotes. This is when we can cut out anything that needs to be cut, and we can also make sure that we put any links in the shownotes that were talked about during the recording of the show. We finish the shownotes before exporting the .aup file to .FLAC so that we can paste a copy of the shownotes into the audio file\'s metadata. We use the \"Truncate Silence\" effect with its default settings to minimize the silence between people speaking. When used with its default (or at least reasonable) settings, Truncate Silence is extremely effective and satisfying. It makes everyone sound smarter, it makes the file shorter without destroying actual content, and it makes a conversations sound as easy and fluid during playback as it was while it was recorded. It can be even more effective if you can train yourself to remain silent instead of saying \"uuuuummmm.\" Just remember to ONLY pass the file through Truncate Silence ONCE. If you pass it through a second time, or if you set it too aggressively your audio may sound sped up and choppy.

\r\n

At this point we add new, empty audio tracks into which we paste the intro, outro and possibly outtakes, and we rename each track accordingly.

\r\n

We adjust the Gain so that the VU meter in Audacity hovers around -12db while people are speaking, and we try to keep the peaks under -6db, and we adjust the Gain on each of the new tracks so that all volumes are similar, and more importantly comfortable. Once this is done we can \"Mix and Render\" all of our tracks into a single track for export to the .FLAC file which is uploaded to the HPR FTP server.

\r\n

Remember to save often when using Audacity. We like to save after each of these steps. Audacity has a reputation for being \"crashy\" but if you remember save after every major transform, you will wonder how it ever got that reputation.

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING

\r\n

hosted by Lostnbronx

\r\n

Turning a large audio file into a tiny video file for a very specific use case.

\r\n

This solution probably won\'t work for you, because none of the ones I found on the Internet worked for me. Trial and error led me here, and it\'s probably the only guide you\'ll have as well.

\r\n

Start with as high a quality audio file as you can manage. .wav is good, but it\'s big. Let\'s convert it to .flac. If you already have a .flac file, skip this part.

\r\n

1.) Convert .wav to .flac.

\r\n
sox INPUT.wav OUTPUT.flac
\r\n

2.) Convert the .flac to a very small mono .opus. Bitrate can be even smaller. I went down to 14.

\r\n
opusenc --bitrate 18 --downmix-mono INPUT.flac OUTPUT.opus
\r\n

3.) Combine the .opus file with a single static image, and output to a .webm video. This should not be very much bigger in file size than the .opus and .jpg combined. The smaller the image file, the better. (I tried using a .gif, but it was actually bigger than the .jpg I ended up with.)

\r\n
ffmpeg -i INPUT.opus -r 1 -loop 1 -i INPUT.jpg -c:v libvpx -tune stillimage -shortest -y -c:a copy OUTPUT.webm
\r\n

The final file. It doesn\'t sound great, but it\'s listenable, which is all that was desired.

\r\n

\r\n

Here\'s a better quality version of the audiobook.

\r\n

https://downloads.cavalcadeaudio.com/stardrifter-novels/01-motherload/?p=home

\r\n

The process and final result can be improved upon by people smarter than I, without doubt, but this works for now.

\r\n

SPECIAL THANKS to the Urandom guys (X1101, Thaj, and Pokey), Monsterjavaguns (Jason van Gumster), and the ever-fabulous Klaatu, for their suggestions and encouragement. I would not have found a solution to this, nor even thought to do an episode of HPR, without them!

Making a Raspberry Pi inventory

\r\n

Introduction

\r\n

I have a number of Raspberry Pis -- possibly too many -- and I sometimes lose track of which is which, what model, size, name, address each one is. I wanted to be able to keep an inventory of them all, and to this end I wrote myself a little script that can be run on any Pi which will report useful information about it.

\r\n

Every Pi has a unique serial number. Actually it\'s randomly generated so there may be a few collisions but it\'s close to unique! It also contains a revision number which encodes various items of information about it such as release date, model, PCB revision and memory. My script decodes this revision number for you based on a published table.

\r\n

I run a Wikimedia instance on a Pi and have used this script to record details of my Pis there as well as what they are being used for and any planned projects. I now feel more organised!

How I Got Into Podcasting

\r\n

The Background

\r\n

Audio production has always been an interest of mine: my late grandfather was an audiophile, my dad ran an AV studio in Woking (the one where the Spice Girls were formed - my dad got mentioned in a couple of their autobiographies) and now runs his own AV consultancy business, and my cousin also runs an AV consultancy... so there’s a definite family history in there.

\r\n

I dabbled briefly with hospital radio (as a technician, rather than a presenter) in the late 80’s, and I was a technician and presenter on College Radio in the early 90’s where I hosted a show called “The Barry Manilow Fan Club” on Friday lunchtimes.

\r\n

Yes, I am a huge fan of Barry Manilow - he’s given me a lot of inspiration as a musician - no, I didn’t play any Barry on the College Radio show.

\r\n

I’d also had a few people say that I had a good radio voice. Others say a good radio face, but I don’t like them anymore.

\r\n

The Catalyst

\r\n

In 2007, I discovered this podcasting lark through a couple of friends who had their own podcasts. One was The Random Three: a personal musical journey where Mark - the host - would play three seemingly-random pieces of music from his own collection (thus, not podsafe) and explain the reasons why he chose them. Most of the time, these seemingly-random tracks actually had a theme, but it didn’t necessarily become apparent until after the second track. It was a great show - now sadly defunct - and I really miss it. I even submitted my own music choices for Mark to present.

\r\n

The other was Dumbed Down Life: three chaps nattering about “stuff” and playing some music along with it. Another great show, which - although it still exists - currently releases episodes every year or so.

\r\n

What drew me to these shows - apart from being friends, was the fact that these were regular guys, not professionals.

\r\n

That led me to think “I can do that”, so I set about proving - to myself, mostly - that I could.

\r\n

The Start

\r\n

One Thursday in early March 2008, when the wife had gone to the gym for a couple of hours, I grabbed my Logitech headset, my Linux laptop, a handful of tracks from the Podsafe Music Network, and a piece of software called IDJC, and recorded the first ever episode of The Bugcast. It was just over 22 minutes long, and it was dire. Utterly dire. Every so often, I go back to it and listen and cringe and marvel at how much better the show is now!

\r\n

The music back then wasn’t strictly podsafe either: the first track I played was Moloko’s Sing It Back… but I didn’t worry about it then, as I got the track from a source that gave implicit permission for use in podcasts.

\r\n

I did do a show - episode 20 - which was a nostalgic trip back to my college years, where I played tracks by Chad Jackson, Japan, and Dream Warriors. This was a complete and intentional violation of copyright on my part, which led me to pull the show only a few weeks later. I did rerelease the show two years after that, but with the offending tracks removed. However, there is a story to the show, so I would recommend you go listen.

\r\n

Back then, it was just me and a small listener-base of friends, their family, their families’ servants; their families’ servants’ tennis partners, and some chap I bumped into in the mess the other day called Bernard. But as time went on and I got more experience, I was really enjoying what I was doing, and started to experiment.

\r\n

One thing I did discover by about episode 16 is that I wasn’t editing my shows in post, aside from topping and tailing silence. This made it so much easier for me as I was recording the shows as-live from the very beginning, but taking out the vocal gaps, gaffes and the like. So there was really only one place to go from there...

\r\n

Going live

\r\n

So in August 2008, on episode 24, to an audience of about 10 people, I streamed the first LIVE episode of the podcast. Wow, that was such a buzz! It was a major turning point in the show as I committed myself to do a regular show at a set time each week... turning a fun hobby into something a little step beyond amateur. There were a couple of non-live shows that I had to put together using the wife’s Windows machine when my laptop went bang and had to be repaired, but I hated doing that because I didn’t like the piecemeal sticky-tape method of production. There was little flow, and my spoken links between the music sounded very much like a bad Radio 4 anchor.

\r\n

In late September 2008, I was accepted as a member of the now-defunct Association of Music Podcasting. This was another major step for me. All member of the Association were peer-reviewed as part of the criteria for membership. This meant that my podcast was sufficiently good to be accepted. That meant so much to me, and made me take things so much more seriously (and was the main reason why I pulled episode 20 just prior)

\r\n

It also meant that the show was becoming more music-oriented - something I really did not have a problem with! Particularly as I was starting to strike up good relationships with some of the artists that I was featuring on the show. This led to me prerecording an interview with one of the bands in January 2009, and then again with another artist in March.

\r\n

Having registered a proper domain for the podcast (rather than piggybacking my own personal domain) and then celebrated the first anniversary of the show... you could say that the show was fuelling its own progression. And I was enjoying that journey immensely!

\r\n

Over the next 6 months, I joined the Made In The UK Show collective, interviewed an artist LIVE on the show, had the show syndicated on an internet radio station in the UK, and launched a new, independent chatroom for the website.

\r\n

The Major Change

\r\n

And then, in September of 2009, the 18 month anniversary of the show, and two days before my birthday, something happened to totally turn the show upside down.

\r\n

I decided that I wanted to improve the show. Bearing in mind that I was still using my Logitech headset, my Linux laptop, and a piece of software called IDJC to record and stream the show, I felt it was time for a change. So I spent a small fortune on a mixer, microphones, stands, audio interface, and cables.

\r\n

Yes, microphones. Plural.

\r\n

Up to this point my wife, Caroline, had progressed from occasional listener, to regular distraction (I don’t think details are appropriate!), to researcher. So I asked her a question... if I bought two microphones, would you join the show as a permanent co-host? She said yes.

\r\n

That really changed things. The dynamic of me talking to an imaginary audience (bar the activity in the live chatroom) changing to me bouncing off someone in the same room was electric! The show was totally transformed by that fairly simple change. Our listener figures jumped up, the music on the show was more varied, existing listeners enjoyed the show more... it was amazing.

\r\n

There have been occasions where Caroline hasn’t been able to join the show (illness, kids, etc) and the listeners (and I) have really noticed her absence.

\r\n

Since Then

\r\n\r\n

So there’s a potted history of how I got into podcasting.

\r\n

If you want to hold private conversations with another party over radio then perhaps amateur radio is not for you as this goes against the whole principle of Amateur Radio.

\r\n

Listening to amateur radio broadcasts is actively encouraged, and in the UK a licence is not required for listening.

\r\n

A simple receiver capable of listening to sideband broadcasts and odd bit of long wire is all that\'s required.

\r\n

In the past it was common to hear an Amateur operator saying goodbye to any short wave listeners at the end of their conversation. If you listen carefully at about 10 minutes in the station DF2BO says goodbye to anybody still listening.

In this episode Rho`n records his adventure in installing GuixSD on an external USB drive which will be run on a Mac Mini computer. After overcoming the initial difficulty of finding a keyboard that would connect wirelessly to the Mac Mini while using the Guix installer and some network difficulties, he describes the installation steps.

\r\n\r\n

Guix has a graphical text based installer. It is reminiscent of the mid to late 90s Debian installers. Even with its old school feel, the installer is very nice. It is well laid out, has good onscreen description for each step of the installation process, and provides ample configuration selections from language, to to key board layout, to desktop and software selection.

Notes on the audio quality

\r\n

I have been looking into the audio quality issues of my shows. I think I have found a solution to them. Unfortunately, this show was recorded before I discovered it.

Synopsis

\r\n

In today\'s episode, I take the audience along my adventure in backing up my laptop\'s hard drives. During recent OS updates, the kernel updates started to fall. In my efforts to resolve the problem, I made things worse – to the point I decided it was time to reinstall the operating system. To prevent any data loss, I chose Clonezilla to image the drives.

\r\n\r\n

The Clonezilla Live edition lets you boot into a ncurses menu driven system that walks you through the process of either backing up your hard drives or restoring a Clonezilla backup. Clonezilla backups save space by imaging only the data on your drives (for those filesystems it recognizes – otherwise it uses dd to do a sector-by-sector copy)

\r\n\r\n

Overall the process was very smooth, and, at the end, I was confident to move forward with wiping my main hard drive and reinstalling the operating system knowing I had a way to restore any lost data.

AQI

\r\n

Air Quality Index - measures particles in the air

\r\n\r\n

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulates#Wildfire_smoke_risk

\r\n

Getting AQI data

\r\n

Determining air quality in my area is as simple as visiting https://www.airnow.gov and entering my zip code. Although my zip code covers 139.56 square miles, the result is accurate enough for my needs. When my zip code was submitted, the web page did not refresh. This means that the client interface made an API call to the backend server.

\r\n

It sure would be nice if the AQI status was emailed to my phone every hour, if the AQI was above a certain threshold.

\r\n

In order to get the data from the API, it is necessary to emulate the request made by the client to the API. This can be accomplished using Firefox.

\r\n\r\n

Another set of tabs are now available to display various bits of information regarding the request. From this data, it is possible to recreate the query. \r\nHowever, I took an even easier route, and right-clicked on the query in the Network tab, and selected Copy > Copy as cURL to get the request as a curl command complete with all necessary arguments prefilled. Since I didn\'t want to write my entire AQI fetching script in bash, I copied the curl command into a text file and ported the request to Ruby.

Opening

\r\n

Hello, my name is Dave, and welcome to another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio. It\'s been a couple of years since my last episode, and I know that HPR is running low on shows. As I have had this one in planning for some time now, I though this was the right time to get it finished.

\r\n

Main

\r\n

At the time of recording this, I\'ve been an Amateur Radio licence holder for 6 months. I took the notion of studying and applying for my Foundation licence (the first of three stages to a Full licence) when I read a blog post by Jon Spriggs G7VRI, back in March, entitled Might Amateur Radio be a hobby for you? I saw a presentation by Jon at OggCamp in 2018 in Sheffield where he gave a whistle-stop tour of what Amateur Radio actually is, and how easy it is to get involved in it.

\r\n

As a bit of background, I was quite involved in the CB Radio scene back in the late 80s and early 90s - I was introduced to CB by my dad, whose handle was \"Screwball\", in the 70s... he had a CB rig in his car since as far back as I can remember. I picked up the hobby from him, by actually liberating him of his rig when he stopped using it. Unfortunately it got stolen from my car. C\'est la vie. Yes, my handle back then was \"The Love Bug\" - in fact, it was whilst looking for an alternative to \"Kool Kat\" as a handle that I first used the moniker \"The Love Bug\" - probably in the mid-80s - and it just stuck.

\r\n

So, after reading Jon\'s blog post, and doing some research into Amateur Radio myself, a whole bunch of things happened at the same time: I bought my first radio - a Baofeng UV-5RTP [Amazon UK], I joined the Radio Society of Great Britain (not a requirement, but I would recommend it), signed up for Essex Ham\'s Foundation Training Course (not a requirement, but strongly recommended as it\'s geared around the examination, and it\'s free!)

\r\n

The training took 3 weeks (in my own time), and I applied for my exam as soon as the training was complete. The exam was an hour long, under as close to exam conditions as an online exam would allow, and I was told by the online system that I\'d passed as soon as I submitted my answers. It then took a few days to get the confirmation of passing (and a certificate) in the post, which then allowed me to apply to Ofcom (the authority for the radio spectrum here in the UK) for my licence and callsign. I was able to choose the suffix of my callsign, and - as BUG was taken - I opted for TLB (for The Love Bug), and thus my callsign is - currently - M7TLB (Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo). I say \"currently\" - I\'m not allowed to change my callsign, however the callsign is specific not only to me but also to the fact that I\'m a Foundation Licence holder. Therefore, when I go for my Intermediate and then Full licence, I\'ll get new callsigns for each one, each superseding the previous.

\r\n

Anyhoo, once I got my Foundation licence, I went out that Sunday to log some contacts, or QSOs. So I parked up at a high point near to here, put a small aerial on the roof of the car (so that I didn\'t warm up my head when transmitting), and started calling CQ - essentially a way of saying \"I want to talk to somebody\" - \"Seek You\". As part of the licence conditions, you are only permitted to make contact with other identifiable and identified amateurs... general broadcasts to whomever might be listening are prohibited. Except when calling CQ to initiate that contact.

\r\n

So I\'d call out something akin to \"CQ, CQ, this station Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo, Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo Portable, calling CQ.\" The \"Portable\" indicates that I\'m not at my home station location. It\'s also a good indication that my transmission might be variable due to the portable nature of the station.

\r\n

I was transmitting using 8 watts of power, two watts fewer than the limit of my license, but significantly lower than the 400 watts that I could be using as a Full licence holder, so my hopes weren\'t high. My first contact was with a chap just outside Caistor, Lincolnshire... about 38 miles direct from where I was based. He was also using a portable station, but with a directional beam antenna, meaning that both transmission and reception from his end was able to focus on my direction. So yeah, impressed!

\r\n

My second contact was also a portable station, located at a high-point by the Woodhead Pass, in Penistone, about 18 miles direct from where I was. This contact was the gift that kept on giving, as there were two other portable stations at the same location, so I got three contacts in the log for that one.

\r\n

Things went quiet after that one, so after a further 5 calls out, I figured that was my lot. Still, I was happy with four QSOs on my first day!

\r\n

Later the same day, I went out for my daily constitutional, so I figured I\'d take the radio - with the standard short rubber-duck antenna, and an earpiece - with me. At least that way, I wouldn\'t look too silly, or a target to be fair. My intention was just to bounce around the frequencies and listen to conversations, rather than put out any CQs myself... I was in a residential area, so I didn\'t want to draw attention to myself.

\r\n

Whilst listening, I heard someone calling CQ and inviting respondents to a different frequency, so I followed and listened. There were a couple of contacts already there that I couldn\'t hear, so I waited for the initial contact to finish working the first. When he put out a call for whomever originally responded, I jumped in with my callsign, thinking that there was no way he would hear me. Consider that I was walking around town, in a reasonably built-up area, with probably the worst antenna I could have chosen for distance, and he wasn\'t exactly coming through strong. He responded to me directly, asking me to standby whilst he worked the other station that responded. Well, I was shocked to hear him say to the other contact that he was in East Yorkshire, about 33 miles from here! He was using a directional beam antenna which was pointing due west... whereas I am south-west of his location, so when you consider the other things I mentioned, the fact that he was also not pointing his antenna directly at me I was completely amazed that I was able to hold this relatively decent quality conversation with someone that far away. Well pleased was I.

\r\n

Cost-wise, I should warn that Amateur Radio can be an expensive hobby, but it absolutely doesn\'t have to be. At a bare minimum, to get me \"on the air\" I bought the Baofeng (£42.99), and paid for my Foundation examination (£27.50), so a little over £70 overall. I actually bought a number of accessories for the radio, and joined the RSGB, but these are in no way required expenses. The standard radio on its own is more than sufficient to gain some decent contacts, as I hope I\'ve proven with the success from that Sunday.

\r\n

Since then, I have bought an HF (or High Frequency) radio from India, it\'s a low-power model (or QRP) which is unlikely to get very far, but there are transmission modes that I can use that are specifically intended for low-power operation. My next big thing is to get an antenna up in the back garden along with a decent tuner so that I can actually use that radio!!

\r\n

By the time this episode goes out, I will have started an intensive course with OARC (Online Amateur Radio Community) which is a UK-based club - a more fantastic bunch of people you are not likely to find - so I\'ll be able to change my callsign to one beginning 2E0 or 2E1, and be able to use up to 50W to transmit, even though I don\'t have any equipment capable to transmitting 50W - yet!

\r\n

I point you to the excellent Ham radio, QSK series on HPR where a number of correspondents have recorded shows about Amateur Radio that you may find interesting. I\'m putting this episode into the same series.

In this episode I take you along for the ride as I hack the wiring in a classroom podium so that I can show musical scores on the Elmo document camera while playing audio through the podium\'s laptop VGA audio source. Without this hack, the students could either see the score, or they could hear the music, but not both. This simple hack installing two jumper wires allows them to see the score and hear the music at the same time, which is important in my classes. I could already do this by using a PDF music score on my laptop while playing the audio file, but this allows me to use a paper score and audio from my laptop at once. It essentially acts as an audio splitter, sending the audio signal to two channels at once.

Text editors are highly subjective and highly opinionated commodities. Everyone is aware of infamous rivalry between users of Emacs and Vi/Vim. Every single text editor has its own strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the day it\'s the question of your personal preferences and muscle memory when it comes to default key-bindings. Both Emacs and Vim have a learning curve. Steepness of that curve depends on the person\'s background and interests. Hey, but today I\'m not here to talk about Emacs and Vim. I\'m here to talk about a simple, easy to use and almost ever present text editor called GNU nano. So what exactly is this nano text editor? Well, according to documentation available on GNU nano\'s website,

\r\n
\r\n

GNU nano was designed to be a free replacement for the Pico text editor, part of the Pine email suite from The University of Washington. It aimed to \"emulate Pico as closely as is reasonable and then include extra functionality\".

\r\n
\r\n

Pico and Pine email suites are still around so what was the need to create nano in the first place? The answer is license. Pico and Pine email suites nowadays are available under Apache-2.0 license but that always wasn\'t the case and this ambiguity in the original licensing terms of the Pico editor led to the creation of nano. It was first created in 1999 with the name TIP (an acronym for TIP Isn\'t Pico), by Chris Allegretta. The name was changed to nano on January 10th, 2000 to avoid a naming conflict with the existing Unix utility tip. The name comes from the system of SI prefixes, in which nano is 1000 times larger than pico. In February 2001, nano became a part of the GNU Project. BTW if you want to know more about SI prefixes, I\'d highly recommend you to listen to HPR episode 3453 - Engineering notation by Ken Fallon.

\r\n

nano is really small in footprint and is relatively easy to use compared to Emacs and Vim and perhaps this is the reason why you\'d invariably find it already installed on almost all GNU/Linux distributions. If you have ever used nano before you might have noticed that it looks kinda boring; there are no line-numbers nor there is any syntax highlighting and spell-checking also seems absent. But this is not true. nano has all of these features and even some more like regex searches, indentation, multiple buffers, available at its disposal. Then why does it come across as a plain Jane? The short answer is, I honestly don\'t know! For some unknown and obscure reasons many of nano\'s cool features are disabled by default. This results in nano coming across as a plain Jane little text editor that is uncool. And as I mentioned earlier, that is not true. But worry not! It is so darn easy to unleash the true potential of nano and make it shine. Are you ready? Great! Let\'s do it together then!

\r\n

First thing we need to to do is create a file with the name .nanorc in the $HOME directory. Open your terminal emulator and run,

\r\n
touch $HOME/.nanorc\r\n
\r\n

We\'d also need to create a directory called Nano_Backups in our Documents directory. To do so run the following command,

\r\n
mkdir -p $HOME/Documents/Nano_Backups\r\n
\r\n

Next open that .nanorc file and simply paste the following content in it,

\r\n
set atblanks\r\nset autoindent\r\nset backup\r\nset backupdir "/home/USERNAME/Documents/Nano_Backups"\r\nset boldtext\r\nset constantshow\r\nset cutfromcursor\r\nset indicator\r\nset linenumbers\r\nset magic\r\nset minibar\r\nset mouse\r\nset showcursor\r\nset softwrap\r\nset speller "aspell -x -c"\r\nset trimblanks\r\nset whitespace "»·"\r\nset zap\r\nset multibuffer\r\n\r\nset titlecolor bold,lightwhite,blue\r\nset promptcolor lightwhite,lightblack\r\nset statuscolor bold,lightwhite,green\r\nset errorcolor bold,lightwhite,red\r\nset spotlightcolor black,lime\r\nset selectedcolor lightwhite,magenta\r\nset stripecolor ,yellow\r\nset scrollercolor cyan\r\nset numbercolor cyan\r\nset keycolor cyan\r\nset functioncolor green\r\n\r\ninclude "/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc"\r\n\r\nbind ^Q exit all\r\nbind ^S savefile main\r\nbind ^W writeout main\r\nbind ^O insert main\r\nbind ^H help all\r\nbind ^H exit help\r\nbind ^F whereis all\r\nbind ^G findnext all\r\nbind ^B wherewas all\r\nbind ^D findprevious all\r\nbind ^R replace main\r\nbind ^X cut main\r\nbind ^C copy main\r\nbind ^V paste all\r\nbind ^P location main\r\nbind ^E execute main\r\nbind ^A mark main\r\nunbind ^K main\r\nunbind ^U all\r\nunbind ^N main\r\nunbind ^Y all\r\nunbind M-J main\r\nunbind M-T main\r\nbind ^T gotoline main\r\nbind ^T gotodir browser\r\nbind ^T cutrestoffile execute\r\nbind ^L linter execute\r\nbind M-U undo main\r\nbind M-R redo main\r\nbind ^Z undo main\r\nbind ^Y redo main\r\n
\r\n

You\'ll have to replace USERNAME in the line number four, set backupdir \"/home/USERNAME/Documents/Nano_Backups/\" with your actual username and then save this file.

\r\n

Wouldn\'t it be nice if the colors in nano were different for a normal user and a root user? Yes, for sure. To do so create an empty .nanorc file in the root\'s directory,

\r\n
sudo touch /root/.nanorc\r\n
\r\n

Next create the backup directory Nano_Backups in root\'s Documents directory. To do so run the following command,

\r\n
sudo mkdir -p /root/Documents/Nano_Backups\r\n
\r\n

Open that /root/.nanorcfile and paste this content in it and save the changes,

\r\n
set atblanks\r\nset autoindent\r\nset backup\r\nset backupdir "/root/Documents/Nano_Backups/"\r\nset boldtext\r\nset constantshow\r\nset cutfromcursor\r\nset indicator\r\nset linenumbers\r\nset magic\r\nset minibar\r\nset mouse\r\nset showcursor\r\nset softwrap\r\nset speller "aspell -x -c"\r\nset trimblanks\r\nset whitespace "»·"\r\nset zap\r\nset multibuffer\r\n\r\nset titlecolor bold,lightwhite,magenta\r\nset promptcolor black,yellow\r\nset statuscolor bold,lightwhite,magenta\r\nset errorcolor bold,lightwhite,red\r\nset spotlightcolor black,orange\r\nset selectedcolor lightwhite,cyan\r\nset stripecolor ,yellow\r\nset scrollercolor magenta\r\nset numbercolor magenta\r\nset keycolor lightmagenta\r\nset functioncolor magenta\r\n\r\ninclude "/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc"\r\n\r\nbind ^Q exit all\r\nbind ^S savefile main\r\nbind ^W writeout main\r\nbind ^O insert main\r\nbind ^H help all\r\nbind ^H exit help\r\nbind ^F whereis all\r\nbind ^G findnext all\r\nbind ^B wherewas all\r\nbind ^D findprevious all\r\nbind ^R replace main\r\nbind ^X cut main\r\nbind ^C copy main\r\nbind ^V paste all\r\nbind ^P location main\r\nbind ^E execute main\r\nbind ^A mark main\r\nunbind ^K main\r\nunbind ^U all\r\nunbind ^N main\r\nunbind ^Y all\r\nunbind M-J main\r\nunbind M-T main\r\nbind ^T gotoline main\r\nbind ^T gotodir browser\r\nbind ^T cutrestoffile execute\r\nbind ^L linter execute\r\nbind M-U undo main\r\nbind M-R redo main\r\nbind ^Z undo main\r\nbind ^Y redo main\r\n
\r\n

What we have just done is, we have enabled some useful features of nano and changed the default keybindings to the more familiar ones like Ctrl+C for copying, Ctrl+X for cutting, Ctrl+V for pasting and a bunch of other key combinations. We\'ve also enabled automatic backing-up of documents. Backups will get saved in the user\'s Documents/Nano_Backups directory.

\r\n

Spell checker is enabled in nano via this configuration but to utilize it you\'ll have to install aspell and aspell-dictionary from your package manager.

\r\n

Kudos! We have turned a timid GNU nano into a powerful wildebeest. Try this configuration and if possible leave your feedback.

\r\n

A word of warning. Package maintainers often ship stripped down versions of nano so one of these features might not be present in your installation and in that case, nano will throw some errors and refuse to start. You have two choices in that scenario; first, disable that feature by deleting the corresponding line from .nanorc file. Your second option is to download the nano source code and compile it yourself with all the features intact. If I were you, I\'d go with the second option as compiling nano is really simple and straightforward. Only extra packages that you will need are libncurses-dev and libmagic-dev.

\r\n

I\'ll leave you guys with a quote from some wise man,

Notes on the audio quality

\r\n

I have been looking into the audio quality issues of my shows. I think I have found a solution to them. Unfortunately, this show was recorded before I discovered it.

\r\n

Synopsis

\r\n

In today\'s episode, I take the audience along my adventure in backing up my laptop\'s hard drives. During recent OS updates, the kernel updates started to fall. In my efforts to resolve the problem, I made things worse – to the point I decided it was time to reinstall the operating system. To prevent any data loss, I chose Clonezilla to image the drives.

\r\n\r\n

The Clonezilla Live edition lets you boot into a ncurses menu driven system that walks you through the process of either backing up your hard drives or restoring a Clonezilla backup. Clonezilla backups save space by imaging only the data on your drives (for those filesystems it recognizes – otherwise it uses dd to do a sector-by-sector copy)

\r\n\r\n

Overall the process was very smooth, and, at the end, I was confident to move forward with wiping my main hard drive and reinstalling the operating system knowing I had a way to restore any lost data.

Air Quality Index - measures particles in the air

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulates#Wildfire_smoke_risk

\r\n

Getting AQI data

\r\n

Determining air quality in my area is as simple as visiting https://www.airnow.gov and entering my zip code. Although my zip code covers 139.56 square miles, the result is accurate enough for my needs. When my zip code was submitted, the web page did not refresh. This means that the client interface made an API call to the backend server.

\r\n

It sure would be nice if the AQI status was emailed to my phone every hour, if the AQI was above a certain threshold.

\r\n

In order to get the data from the API, it is necessary to emulate the request made by the client to the API. This can be accomplished using Firefox.

\r\n\r\n

Another set of tabs are now available to display various bits of information regarding the request. From this data, it is possible to recreate the query. \r\nHowever, I took an even easier route, and right-clicked on the query in the Network tab, and selected Copy > Copy as cURL to get the request as a curl command complete with all necessary arguments prefilled. Since I didn\'t want to write my entire AQI fetching script in bash, I copied the curl command into a text file and ported the request to Ruby.

Opening

\r\n

Hello, my name is Dave, and welcome to another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio. It\'s been a couple of years since my last episode, and I know that HPR is running low on shows. As I have had this one in planning for some time now, I though this was the right time to get it finished.

\r\n

Main

\r\n

At the time of recording this, I\'ve been an Amateur Radio licence holder for 6 months. I took the notion of studying and applying for my Foundation licence (the first of three stages to a Full licence) when I read a blog post by Jon Spriggs G7VRI, back in March, entitled Might Amateur Radio be a hobby for you? I saw a presentation by Jon at OggCamp in 2018 in Sheffield where he gave a whistle-stop tour of what Amateur Radio actually is, and how easy it is to get involved in it.

\r\n

As a bit of background, I was quite involved in the CB Radio scene back in the late 80s and early 90s - I was introduced to CB by my dad, whose handle was \"Screwball\", in the 70s... he had a CB rig in his car since as far back as I can remember. I picked up the hobby from him, by actually liberating him of his rig when he stopped using it. Unfortunately it got stolen from my car. C\'est la vie. Yes, my handle back then was \"The Love Bug\" - in fact, it was whilst looking for an alternative to \"Kool Kat\" as a handle that I first used the moniker \"The Love Bug\" - probably in the mid-80s - and it just stuck.

\r\n

So, after reading Jon\'s blog post, and doing some research into Amateur Radio myself, a whole bunch of things happened at the same time: I bought my first radio - a Baofeng UV-5RTP [Amazon UK], I joined the Radio Society of Great Britain (not a requirement, but I would recommend it), signed up for Essex Ham\'s Foundation Training Course (not a requirement, but strongly recommended as it\'s geared around the examination, and it\'s free!)

\r\n

The training took 3 weeks (in my own time), and I applied for my exam as soon as the training was complete. The exam was an hour long, under as close to exam conditions as an online exam would allow, and I was told by the online system that I\'d passed as soon as I submitted my answers. It then took a few days to get the confirmation of passing (and a certificate) in the post, which then allowed me to apply to Ofcom (the authority for the radio spectrum here in the UK) for my licence and callsign. I was able to choose the suffix of my callsign, and - as BUG was taken - I opted for TLB (for The Love Bug), and thus my callsign is - currently - M7TLB (Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo). I say \"currently\" - I\'m not allowed to change my callsign, however the callsign is specific not only to me but also to the fact that I\'m a Foundation Licence holder. Therefore, when I go for my Intermediate and then Full licence, I\'ll get new callsigns for each one, each superseding the previous.

\r\n

Anyhoo, once I got my Foundation licence, I went out that Sunday to log some contacts, or QSOs. So I parked up at a high point near to here, put a small aerial on the roof of the car (so that I didn\'t warm up my head when transmitting), and started calling CQ - essentially a way of saying \"I want to talk to somebody\" - \"Seek You\". As part of the licence conditions, you are only permitted to make contact with other identifiable and identified amateurs... general broadcasts to whomever might be listening are prohibited. Except when calling CQ to initiate that contact.

\r\n

So I\'d call out something akin to \"CQ, CQ, this station Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo, Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo Portable, calling CQ.\" The \"Portable\" indicates that I\'m not at my home station location. It\'s also a good indication that my transmission might be variable due to the portable nature of the station.

\r\n

I was transmitting using 8 watts of power, two watts fewer than the limit of my license, but significantly lower than the 400 watts that I could be using as a Full licence holder, so my hopes weren\'t high. My first contact was with a chap just outside Caistor, Lincolnshire... about 38 miles direct from where I was based. He was also using a portable station, but with a directional beam antenna, meaning that both transmission and reception from his end was able to focus on my direction. So yeah, impressed!

\r\n

My second contact was also a portable station, located at a high-point by the Woodhead Pass, in Penistone, about 18 miles direct from where I was. This contact was the gift that kept on giving, as there were two other portable stations at the same location, so I got three contacts in the log for that one.

\r\n

Things went quiet after that one, so after a further 5 calls out, I figured that was my lot. Still, I was happy with four QSOs on my first day!

\r\n

Later the same day, I went out for my daily constitutional, so I figured I\'d take the radio - with the standard short rubber-duck antenna, and an earpiece - with me. At least that way, I wouldn\'t look too silly, or a target to be fair. My intention was just to bounce around the frequencies and listen to conversations, rather than put out any CQs myself... I was in a residential area, so I didn\'t want to draw attention to myself.

\r\n

Whilst listening, I heard someone calling CQ and inviting respondents to a different frequency, so I followed and listened. There were a couple of contacts already there that I couldn\'t hear, so I waited for the initial contact to finish working the first. When he put out a call for whomever originally responded, I jumped in with my callsign, thinking that there was no way he would hear me. Consider that I was walking around town, in a reasonably built-up area, with probably the worst antenna I could have chosen for distance, and he wasn\'t exactly coming through strong. He responded to me directly, asking me to standby whilst he worked the other station that responded. Well, I was shocked to hear him say to the other contact that he was in East Yorkshire, about 33 miles from here! He was using a directional beam antenna which was pointing due west... whereas I am south-west of his location, so when you consider the other things I mentioned, the fact that he was also not pointing his antenna directly at me I was completely amazed that I was able to hold this relatively decent quality conversation with someone that far away. Well pleased was I.

\r\n

Cost-wise, I should warn that Amateur Radio can be an expensive hobby, but it absolutely doesn\'t have to be. At a bare minimum, to get me \"on the air\" I bought the Baofeng (£42.99), and paid for my Foundation examination (£27.50), so a little over £70 overall. I actually bought a number of accessories for the radio, and joined the RSGB, but these are in no way required expenses. The standard radio on its own is more than sufficient to gain some decent contacts, as I hope I\'ve proven with the success from that Sunday.

\r\n

Since then, I have bought an HF (or High Frequency) radio from India, it\'s a low-power model (or QRP) which is unlikely to get very far, but there are transmission modes that I can use that are specifically intended for low-power operation. My next big thing is to get an antenna up in the back garden along with a decent tuner so that I can actually use that radio!!

\r\n

By the time this episode goes out, I will have started an intensive course with OARC (Online Amateur Radio Community) which is a UK-based club - a more fantastic bunch of people you are not likely to find - so I\'ll be able to change my callsign to one beginning 2E0 or 2E1, and be able to use up to 50W to transmit, even though I don\'t have any equipment capable to transmitting 50W - yet!

In this episode I take you along for the ride as I hack the wiring in a classroom podium so that I can show musical scores on the Elmo document camera while playing audio through the podium\'s laptop VGA audio source. Without this hack, the students could either see the score, or they could hear the music, but not both. This simple hack installing two jumper wires allows them to see the score and hear the music at the same time, which is important in my classes. I could already do this by using a PDF music score on my laptop while playing the audio file, but this allows me to use a paper score and audio from my laptop at once. It essentially acts as an audio splitter, sending the audio signal to two channels at once.

Text editors are highly subjective and highly opinionated commodities. Everyone is aware of infamous rivalry between users of Emacs and Vi/Vim. Every single text editor has its own strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the day it\'s the question of your personal preferences and muscle memory when it comes to default key-bindings. Both Emacs and Vim have a learning curve. Steepness of that curve depends on the person\'s background and interests. Hey, but today I\'m not here to talk about Emacs and Vim. I\'m here to talk about a simple, easy to use and almost ever present text editor called GNU nano. So what exactly is this nano text editor? Well, according to documentation available on GNU nano\'s website,

\r\n
\r\n

GNU nano was designed to be a free replacement for the Pico text editor, part of the Pine email suite from The University of Washington. It aimed to \"emulate Pico as closely as is reasonable and then include extra functionality\".

\r\n
\r\n

Pico and Pine email suites are still around so what was the need to create nano in the first place? The answer is license. Pico and Pine email suites nowadays are available under Apache-2.0 license but that always wasn\'t the case and this ambiguity in the original licensing terms of the Pico editor led to the creation of nano. It was first created in 1999 with the name TIP (an acronym for TIP Isn\'t Pico), by Chris Allegretta. The name was changed to nano on January 10th, 2000 to avoid a naming conflict with the existing Unix utility tip. The name comes from the system of SI prefixes, in which nano is 1000 times larger than pico. In February 2001, nano became a part of the GNU Project. BTW if you want to know more about SI prefixes, I\'d highly recommend you to listen to HPR episode 3453 - Engineering notation by Ken Fallon.

\r\n

nano is really small in footprint and is relatively easy to use compared to Emacs and Vim and perhaps this is the reason why you\'d invariably find it already installed on almost all GNU/Linux distributions. If you have ever used nano before you might have noticed that it looks kinda boring; there are no line-numbers nor there is any syntax highlighting and spell-checking also seems absent. But this is not true. nano has all of these features and even some more like regex searches, indentation, multiple buffers, available at its disposal. Then why does it come across as a plain Jane? The short answer is, I honestly don\'t know! For some unknown and obscure reasons many of nano\'s cool features are disabled by default. This results in nano coming across as a plain Jane little text editor that is uncool. And as I mentioned earlier, that is not true. But worry not! It is so darn easy to unleash the true potential of nano and make it shine. Are you ready? Great! Let\'s do it together then!

\r\n

First thing we need to to do is create a file with the name .nanorc in the $HOME directory. Open your terminal emulator and run,

\r\n
touch $HOME/.nanorc\r\n
\r\n

We\'d also need to create a directory called Nano_Backups in our Documents directory. To do so run the following command,

\r\n
mkdir -p $HOME/Documents/Nano_Backups\r\n
\r\n

Next open that .nanorc file and simply paste the following content in it,

\r\n
set atblanks\r\nset autoindent\r\nset backup\r\nset backupdir "/home/USERNAME/Documents/Nano_Backups"\r\nset boldtext\r\nset constantshow\r\nset cutfromcursor\r\nset indicator\r\nset linenumbers\r\nset magic\r\nset minibar\r\nset mouse\r\nset showcursor\r\nset softwrap\r\nset speller "aspell -x -c"\r\nset trimblanks\r\nset whitespace "»·"\r\nset zap\r\nset multibuffer\r\n\r\nset titlecolor bold,lightwhite,blue\r\nset promptcolor lightwhite,lightblack\r\nset statuscolor bold,lightwhite,green\r\nset errorcolor bold,lightwhite,red\r\nset spotlightcolor black,lime\r\nset selectedcolor lightwhite,magenta\r\nset stripecolor ,yellow\r\nset scrollercolor cyan\r\nset numbercolor cyan\r\nset keycolor cyan\r\nset functioncolor green\r\n\r\ninclude "/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc"\r\n\r\nbind ^Q exit all\r\nbind ^S savefile main\r\nbind ^W writeout main\r\nbind ^O insert main\r\nbind ^H help all\r\nbind ^H exit help\r\nbind ^F whereis all\r\nbind ^G findnext all\r\nbind ^B wherewas all\r\nbind ^D findprevious all\r\nbind ^R replace main\r\nbind ^X cut main\r\nbind ^C copy main\r\nbind ^V paste all\r\nbind ^P location main\r\nbind ^E execute main\r\nbind ^A mark main\r\nunbind ^K main\r\nunbind ^U all\r\nunbind ^N main\r\nunbind ^Y all\r\nunbind M-J main\r\nunbind M-T main\r\nbind ^T gotoline main\r\nbind ^T gotodir browser\r\nbind ^T cutrestoffile execute\r\nbind ^L linter execute\r\nbind M-U undo main\r\nbind M-R redo main\r\nbind ^Z undo main\r\nbind ^Y redo main\r\n
\r\n

You\'ll have to replace USERNAME in the line number four, set backupdir \"/home/USERNAME/Documents/Nano_Backups/\" with your actual username and then save this file.

\r\n

Wouldn\'t it be nice if the colors in nano were different for a normal user and a root user? Yes, for sure. To do so create an empty .nanorc file in the root\'s directory,

\r\n
sudo touch /root/.nanorc\r\n
\r\n

Next create the backup directory Nano_Backups in root\'s Documents directory. To do so run the following command,

\r\n
sudo mkdir -p /root/Documents/Nano_Backups\r\n
\r\n

What we have just done is, we have enabled some useful features of nano and changed the default keybindings to the more familiar ones like Ctrl+C for copying, Ctrl+X for cutting, Ctrl+V for pasting and a bunch of other key combinations. We\'ve also enabled automatic backing-up of documents. Backups will get saved in the user\'s Documents/Nano_Backups directory.

\r\n

Spell checker is enabled in nano via this configuration but to utilize it you\'ll have to install aspell and aspell-dictionary from your package manager.

\r\n

Kudos! We have turned a timid GNU nano into a powerful wildebeest. Try this configuration and if possible leave your feedback.

\r\n

A word of warning. Package maintainers often ship stripped down versions of nano so one of these features might not be present in your installation and in that case, nano will throw some errors and refuse to start. You have two choices in that scenario; first, disable that feature by deleting the corresponding line from .nanorc file. Your second option is to download the nano source code and compile it yourself with all the features intact. If I were you, I\'d go with the second option as compiling nano is really simple and straightforward. Only extra packages that you will need are libncurses-dev and libmagic-dev.

\r\n

I\'ll leave you guys with a quote from some wise man,

Training

\r\n\r\n

\r\nMost likely the best way to prepare for the exam is attending a preparation course from a local Association, of have a brother who did and forwarded all the background info and documents to me. ;) But apart from having a brother I did the following:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe online version of the books I read: https://www.darc.de/der-club/referate/ajw/darc-online-lehrgang/ - again in German. They\'re mainly geared towards the German exams but the knowledge contained is useful for the Swiss exams, too.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nI mainly used the HamRadioTrainer to prepare for the exam. This is a Windows application which however works pretty well in wine. I was told that the Swiss questions are rather old, 2017ish.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nI was told that there are mobile apps with more recent questions but I couldn\'t be bothered to check whether they exist on F-Droid.\r\n

Hail to my Loyal Henchmen and fellow SuperVillains, welcome new recruits and greetings to the hackers of HPR.

\r\n

This is Mechatroniac the mechatronics maniac with the zeroth installment of Robot Warlords of the Apocalypse, where I will talk about post apocalyptic robotics and share my projects, philosophy and future ambitions.

\r\n

I am doing this podcast contribution for hacker public radio.

\r\n

hackerpublicradio.org

\r\n

After this has aired on HPR I will be adding video and to this presentation which will be uploaded to my channel at:

\r\n

https://bitchute.com/channel/mechatroniac point youtube-dl at it and download them all.

\r\n

Mechatronics is code, electronics and mechanics working together as a system. I am weak in all 3, but have built mini battlebot style robots completely from scratch, with every chassis part, every motor and wheel, and every circuit that drives them sourced for free from junk like discarded printers, dvds, tvs, computers and UPS.

\r\n

I am calling this ethos and the resultant aesthetic, Post Apocalyptic Robotics, that is robots that can be built by reclaiming existing post consumer products to create something new.

\r\n

Currently they are confined to smooth surfaces like battlebot arenas, but more rugged terrain bots are currently also being worked on, and I want to work towards autonomous and swarm robots as well.

\r\n

The recipes I release here, can be followed by anyone to build their own robots and devices, by simply gathering the required scrap units or similar as described; then disassembling, then finally reassembling into a new meta technological device.

\r\n

I hope that others will do the same, and come up with their own innovations and new recipes that can be added to our incipient swarms of meta-technological bots as they evolve ever more sophistication.

\r\n

Welcome to post apocalyptic robotics.

\r\n

Introduction to Post-Apocalypse Robotics Meta-technology

\r\n

Tech Prepping, Building a \'battlebot\' out of junk

\r\n

Meteors, asteroids, comets. Cataclysmic solar flares, massive volcanic eruptions and earthquakes triggering massive tsunamis, social unrest, runaway climate change, ransomware and EMPs attacks striking electric grids, deadly viral pandemics, mass hysteria, big boats blocking waterways, obscured malware in a systemd update, management engines at the heart of CPUs providing backdoors to Intel and AMD hardware at root -3 privilege... what could go wrong there?

\r\n

There are a large number of looming events which could collapse technological society as it is, wiping out most of the internet and shipping and transport and hopefully maybe even the government.

\r\n

Tech Prepping is more important than food prepping

\r\n

While most survivalist and prepper types concentrate on stacking cans of beans, seeds, fuel and ammo, the robot prepper will also be hoarding books on pdf, component datasheets, software libraries, breakout boards and every post EOL electronics product they can get their hands on.

\r\n

In a semi apocalyptic scenario where the trucks stop rolling, a lot of people who save seeds will be able to grow food in their communities, so food won\'t be such a big deal.

\r\n

There might even be some that figure out how to make petroleum from wood like mrteslonian channel on youtube.

\r\n

But a real crux will be analog, digital electronics technology, IT and mechatronics. Those communities with working electronics, mechatronics, and information technology infrastructure, will be at a distinct competitive advantage. They will be able to leverage this in such things as automation of agriculture, from watering schedules to weed pulling along with many other applications that will make the PAR communities ascendant. All else being equal, PAR will be a force multiplier vs hostile neighbours starved of their slaveslabs swiping because facebook no longer exists, or remnants of the tyrannical state coming out of their DUMB bunkers and thinking they still have the right to rule.

\r\n

It\'s a good thing then, that we have a boost up to a mechatronic technological society all around us in the electronic consumer devices that although they may be decrepit, soiled and/or dead, nonetheless contain a wealth of component parts -most of which are hardy enough to function for a very long time, components that can be reused in new applications.

\r\n

It\'s like there is a supply chain for robot factories all around us. It\'s not infinite but it is very plentiful at the moment. Sadly, our society is blind to the current and future worth of the technological legacy in our midst and the electronics recycling is electronics destruction.

\r\n

Meta technology

\r\n

Antecedents: BEAM, cyberpunk, road warrior

\r\n

Fellow Travellers/Parallels: Maker, Right to repair, hardware hacking(Valerio De Giampietro - Hardware Hacking Tutorial), CollapseOS

\r\n

One of this new meta technology\'s main antecedents is BEAM(Biology Evolution Aesthetics Mechanics) robotics, Mark Tilden\'s robot projects that eschewed microprocessors in favour of circuits built of discrete components that mimic biological nerves and can react to environmental stimuli. There is a nice archive of BEAM related documents on the solarbotics site.

\r\n

Mark Tilden even wrote a book called \'Junk Bots\', so must have had some of the same ideas I have... but where Mark uses transistors as the nerves and brains, I am using arduino since microprocessors are now very inexpensive.

\r\n

The use of arduino is the only thing keeping my projects from being completely PAR, but one day wish to have entirely PAR

\r\n

Thus right to repair and hardware hacking are thus two important aspects to utilizing the processors inside consumer products to run other operating systems for our use. Unless we hoard thousands of atmega328p chips, it will be difficult to find processors that we can use unless they have been liberated via techniques described by Valerio De Giampietro. Reusing processors from printers and other products is a goal for the future, but right now, let\'s have some fun.

\r\n

FUN and Education The first arduino PAR battlebot I built - the herald/interceptor; is powered by 5 18650 cells from trashed laptops, powertrain is a custom hybrid relay/MOSFET H-bridge, and it is driven by four electric motors and wheels harvested from PA printers. It has IR remote control and is very fast to the extent that I had to add rubber bumpers to it to keep it and others safe.

\r\n

I departed somewhat from the PAR ethos, with added front and rear ultrasonic sensors, and an mp3 player powering a tv speaker. Hence, it is the herald/interceptor

\r\n

I think it has an interesting road warrior cyberpunk aesthetic, with the grey steel, aluminum and black ABS parts, and but for the wheels; star wars for the bolted on look of it

\r\n

Can we set up PAR tournaments where we can bring our bots and battle it out? Cost is no longer a barrier.

\r\n

I could see a challenging new sport that is a cross between battlebots and junkyard wars, where contestants would have a set amount of time to build a bot from junk, and then compete in racing or sumo matches.

\r\n

Obviously you are going to learn a lot building a robot and the best way to learn is by doing.

\r\n

Alright, now that I have shown some of the important strategic and fun implications of PAR meta technology, by raiding trashed consumer electronics for their components: I hope at the very least that everyone hearing this never again take their post use electronics to one of those recycling centers where all those precious components are destroyed, instead of keeping it in your basement where it belongs. You\'d do better taking it to a landfill where perhaps some future wretched mutant can discover and make use of it, than take it to electronics recycling.

\r\n

Next episode I\'ll show you how to build your PAR laboratory and give you the ingredients to the herald/interceptor battlebot, but if you\'re already excited to get started you can order an arduino Uno or nano, or an arduino kit with a bunch of sensors like I did when I got started. You can also start gathering things like printers, tvs, dvds, UPS and other waste, and get a soldering station if you don\'t already have one.

\r\n

In the coming episodes I will share the detailed recipe for my first post apocalyptic battlebot style robot I built complete with arduino code, and will show you how to build your own robot for free except for the arduino*. I\'ll also do email tech support for anyone having problems.

\r\n

I also want to go further into other tech prepper archiving, in case all or large parts of the internet are no longer accessible, and this may be where you programming specialists might be able to help. They kind of gave me weird looks on the arduino forums when I asked for a way to download all the libraries but was finally able to beg a script that let me download a lot of them, if not all.

\r\n

Also, all the component datasheets would be handy... it seems it would be prudent to have datasheets on all the components and microprocessors that you possibly can, and to have all the software libraries it would be practical to archive.

\r\n

I\'ll also go into more aspects and implications of this exciting meta technology, and I hope you will join me in building post apocalypse robotics and mechatronics fun.

Equality of structured errors

\r\n

Background

\r\n

In previous episode, I built a system where error codes weren\'t defined in one huge type. This made compilation times faster and maintenance quite a bit more easier.

\r\n

Problem

\r\n

I wanted to write a test to see that parameters passed to validatePatchApiPersonR are validated correctly. patchApiPersonR is used by client to do partial updates on a Person entity. There\'s three different cases I wanted to check:

\r\n\r\n

Code is shown below and the last 2 lines are the interesting ones. There I\'m using equality to compare if a given error exists in a list of errors created by validatePatchApiPersonR.

\r\n
spec :: Spec\r\nspec = do\r\n    describe "people" $ do\r\n        describe "life focus" $ do\r\n            describe "Validating requests" $ do\r\n                it "All errors are reported" $ do\r\n                    forAll anyCompletelyFaultyRequest $\r\n                        \\(userE, personE, msg, date) ->\r\n                            let res = validatePatchApiPersonR (userE ^. entityKeyL, userE ^. entityValL, personE, msg, date)\r\n                                newFocus = msg ^? patchPersonRequestLifeFocus . _Just . _Just\r\n                            in\r\n                                case res of\r\n                                    V.Success _ ->\r\n                                        expectationFailure "Invalid request was not detected"\r\n\r\n                                    V.Failure errs -> do\r\n                                        errs `shouldSatisfy` (\\xs -> any (\\x -> "CanNotChangeLifeFocusSoSoon" `isInfixOf` (pack $ show x)) xs)\r\n                                        errs `shouldContain` [ canNotReselectSameLifeFocus newFocus ]\r\n                                        errs `shouldContain` [ insufficientRights ]\r\n
\r\n

Detour on equality

\r\n

Equality in Haskell works slightly differently compared to for example C#. There is no built in, default implementation that gets used when the programmer hasn\'t written their own. If you want to compare equality, there needs to be implementation specific to your data types. This is done by making an instance of type class Eq (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.15.0.0/docs/Data-Eq.html).

\r\n
class Eq a where\r\n  (==) :: a -> a -> Bool\r\n  (/=) :: a -> a -> Bool\r\n
\r\n

There\'s two functions: == for equality and /= for inequality. You need to implement either one.

\r\n

Back to problem

\r\n

ECode is our structured error code type and defined as follows (this is short recap of previous episode):

\r\n
data ECode where\r\n    ECode :: (ErrorCodeClass a, ToJSON a, Eq a, Show a) => a -> ECode\r\n
\r\n

It can wrap anything that has correct type class instances and you will always get ECode as a result. It hides the specific type of thing being wrapped and only functions defined in type classes are available.

\r\n

First try

\r\n

Peel away ECode and compare what\'s inside and compare wrapped values:

\r\n
instance Eq ECode where\r\n    ECode a == ECode b =\r\n        a == b\r\n
\r\n

This will lead into a error \"Couldn\'t match expected type ‘a’ with actual type ‘a1’. ‘a1’ is a rigid type variable bound by a pattern with constructor...\". This is because ECode can wrap many different types, there is no quarantee that you\'re comparing values of same type. The whole error is show below for reference:

\r\n

\r\n

Second try

\r\n

We can use Show to turn ECode into string and compare them. This is what I did initially.

\r\n
instance Eq ECode where\r\n    a == b = show a == show b\r\n
\r\n

While this works, it feels hacky. It relies on string representations being different. If you accidentally write Show instance in a way that produces same string with two different values, the comparison breaks down.

\r\n

Third time is a charm

\r\n

After pondering a bit, I asked myself a question \"When are two ECode equal?\". The answer I arrived is \"When they have same http status code and description.\" Then I could write yet different take on equality:

\r\n
instance Eq ECode where\r\n    a == b =\r\n        httpStatusCode a == httpStatusCode b\r\n        &&  description a == description b\r\n
\r\n

This states that to two ECode values are equal, if they have same httpStatusCode and description.

\r\n

\nNew\nChinese Malware Attack Framework Targets Windows, macOS, and Linux\nSystems.\n

A previously undocumented command-and-control (C2) framework dubbed\nAlchimist is likely being used in the wild to target Windows, macOS, and\nLinux systems.

\n

\"Alchimist C2 has a web interface written in Simplified Chinese and\ncan generate a configured payload, establish remote sessions, deploy\npayloads to the remote machines, capture screenshots, perform remote\nshellcode execution, and run arbitrary commands,\" Cisco Talos said in a\nreport shared with The Hacker News. Written in GoLang, Alchimist is\ncomplemented by a beacon implant called Insekt, which comes with remote\naccess features that can be instrumented by the C2 server.”

\n

\"Since Alchimist is a single-file based ready-to-go C2 framework, it\nis difficult to attribute its use to a single actor such as the authors,\nAPTs, or crimeware syndicates.\"

\n

The trojan, for its part, is equipped with features typically present\nin backdoors of this kind, enabling the malware to get system\ninformation, capture screenshots, run arbitrary commands, and download\nremote files, among others.

\n

Alchimist C2 panel further features the ability to generate first\nstage payloads, including PowerShell and wget code snippets for Windows\nand Linux, potentially allowing an attacker to flesh out their infection\nchains to distribute the Insekt RAT binary. The instructions could then\nbe potentially embedded in a maldoc attached to a phishing email that,\nwhen opened, downloads and launches the backdoor on the compromised\nmachine. What\'s more, the Linux version of Insekt is capable of listing\nthe contents of the \".ssh\" directory and even adding new SSH keys to the\n\"~/.ssh/authorized_keys\" file to facilitate remote access over SSH.

\nHackers\nUsing Vishing to Trick Victims into Installing Android Banking\nMalware.\n

Malicious actors are resorting to voice phishing (vishing) tactics to\ndupe victims into installing Android malware on their devices.

\n

The Dutch mobile security company said it identified a network of\nphishing websites targeting Italian online-banking users that are\ndesigned to get hold of their contact details.

\n

Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD), as the social engineering\ntechnique is called, involves calling the victims using previously\ncollected information from the fraudulent websites.

\n

The caller, who purports to be a support agent for the bank,\ninstructs the individual on the other end of the call to install a\nsecurity app and grant it extensive permissions, when, in reality, it\'s\nmalicious software intended to gain remote access or conduct financial\nfraud.

\n

What\'s more, the infrastructure utilized by the threat actor has been\nfound to deliver a second malware named SMS Spy that enables the\nadversary to gain access to all incoming SMS messages and intercept\none-time passwords (OTPs) sent by banks.

\n

The new wave of hybrid fraud attacks presents a new dimension for\nscammers to mount convincing Android malware campaigns that have\notherwise relied on traditional methods such as Google Play Store\ndroppers, rogue ads, and smishing.

\n64,000\nAdditional Patients Impacted by Omnicell Data Breach - What is Your Data\nBreach Action Plan?\n

Founded in 1992, Omnicell is a leading provider of medication\nmanagement solutions for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and\nretail pharmacies. On May 4, 2022, Omnicell\'s IT systems and third-party\ncloud services were affected by ransomware attacks which may lead to\ndata security concerns for employees and patients. While it is still\nearly in the investigation, this appears to be a severe breach with\npotentially significant consequences for the company.

\n

Omnicell began informing individuals whose information may have been\ncompromised on August 3, 2022. Hackers may be able to access and sell\npatient-sensitive information, such as social security numbers, due to\nthe time delay between the breach and the company\'s report of affected\npatients.

\n

The type of information that may be exposed are:

\n
    \n
  • Credit card information.
    • \n
  • Financial information.
    • \n
  • Social security numbers.
    • \n
  • Driver\'s license numbers.
    • \n
  • Health insurance details.
    • \n
\n

The healthcare industry is one of the most targeted sectors globally,\nwith attacks doubling year over year. And these costs are measured in\nmillions or even billions of dollars - not to mention increased risks\nfor patients\' privacy (and reputation).

How to\nprotect schools getting whacked by ransomware.

\n

Ransomware gangs are taking Americans to school. So far this year,\nhackers have taken hostage at least 1,735 schools in 27 districts; the\nmassive Los Angeles Unified School District is their latest target.

\n

Ransomware hackers breach computers, lock them up, steal sensitive\ndata and demand money to release their hold on organizations’ critical\nsystems. These criminals often attack schools because they are\nprofitable targets. If all ransomware victims refused to pay, the\nattacks would stop. Indeed, paying up might be illegal: The Treasury\nDepartment released guidance last year noting that giving money to\nglobal criminal organizations can violate sanctions law.

\n

The trouble is, saying no isn’t always easy. Los Angeles didn’t\ncapitulate, and the criminals leaked a trove of data — a consequence\nthat can prove more or less serious depending on the sensitivity of the\nstolen information.

\n

“Because we can,” said a representative of the ransomware gang that\ntook down Los Angeles Unified School District, explaining the\ncollective’s motivations to a Bloomberg News reporter. Schools’ task is\nto turn “can” to “can’t” — or, at least, to make success pay a whole lot\nless.

\n

CNET News.

\nVerizon\nAlerts Prepaid Customers to Recent Security Breach.\n

Verizon notified prepaid customers this week of a recent cyberattack\nthat granted third-party actors access to their accounts, as reported\nearlier Tuesday by BleepingComputer. The attack occurred between Oct. 6\nand Oct. 10 and affected 250 Verizon prepaid customers.

\n

The breach exposed the last four digits of customers\' credit cards\nused to make payments on their prepaid accounts. While no full credit\ncard information was accessible, the information was enough to grant the\nattackers access to Verizon user accounts, which hold semi-sensitive\ndata such \"name, telephone number, billing address, price plans, and\nother service-related information,\" per a notice from Verizon.

\n

Account access also potentially enabled attackers to process\nunauthorized SIM card changes on prepaid lines. Also known as SIM\nswapping, unauthorized SIM card changes can allow for the transfer of an\nunsuspecting person\'s phone number to another phone.

\n

From there, the counterfeit phone can be used to receive SMS messages\nfor password resets and user identification verifications on other\naccounts, giving attackers potential access to any account they have, or\ncan guess, the username for. Consequently, Verizon recommended affected\ncustomers secure their non-Verizon accounts such as social media,\nfinancial, email and other accounts that allow for password resets by\nphone.

Tip not covered in my\nPodcast

\n

Splits are not fixed and can be adjusted. Once you\'ve split up clips\nand put them in the right order on the timeline you can still adjust the\ncut point even though you previously split the clip because the clip is\nreferenced to the original file in the playlist.

\n

Introduction

\n

Hello and welcome Hacker Public Radio audience my name is Mr X\nwelcome to this podcast. As per usual I\'d like to start by thanking the\npeople at HPR for making this podcast possible. HPR is a Community led\npodcast provided by the community for the community that means you can\ncontribute to. The HPR team have gone to great deal of effort to\nsimplify and streamline the process of providing podcasts. There are\nmany ways to record an episode these days using phones tablets PCs and\nalike. The hardest barrier is sending in your first show. Don\'t get too\nhung up about quality, it\'s more important just to send something in.\nThe sound quality of some of my early shows wasn\'t very good. If I can\ndo it anyone can and you might just get hooked in the process.

\n

Well it\'s been almost a year since I\'ve sent in a show. Looking at\nthe HPR site my last episode was back in November 2021. I suspect like\nmany others life has become more complicated and I find I have much less\nspare time and because I have much less spare time I have much less time\nto pursue my hobbies and because of this I have less to speak about and\nbecause of this I have less time to record what I\'ve been doing and it\nall turns into to vicious circle. Fortunately I recently had some time\noff work and had a lovely holiday. During the holiday I ended up\nrecording some video which I decided I wanted to edit. I\'ve done some\nvideo editing in the past using various video editing packages. The best\nand most recent of which is shotcut.

\n

Specific details and\nequipment

\n

Video resolution 1920 x 1080, Codec h264 mpeg-4, Frame rate 30 frames\nper second.

\n

Computer Dell Optiplex 780. Fitted with 4 GB of internal RAM and\nonboard video graphics card.

\n

Shotcut version 22.06.23 Shotcut is a free open-source cross-platform\nvideo editor licenced under the GNU general public licence version\n3.0

\n

This episode will only cover basic shotcut video editing techniques.\nShotcut contains many advanced features and effects that will not be\ncovered in this episode. A lot of the workflow I’ll share with you today\nis intended to get around limitations imposed by my low spec PC

\n

I\'ll try my best to cover the video editing process in this podcast\nusing words alone; however I am conscious that an accompanying video\nwould make it easier to follow along.

\n

Shotcut workflow

\n

Start by creating a folder to hold all the required media files.\nAudio tracks and sound effects can be added to this folder later. Make\nsure all your video files are using the same frame rate in my case 30\nframes per second.

\n

Open each video file in VLC one at a time going through each video\nfile looking for the best portions of video. Make a note of where the\nbest portions of the video are by writing down the start and end points\nin minutes and seconds.

\n

I do this because the interface of VLC is more responsive than\nshortcut and the resolution of displayed video is far greater than the\npreview in shortcut. This makes it quicker and easier to find the best\nportions of video.

\n

Open shortcut and make sure the new project is set to the same frames\nper second as the media files you\'re working with, in my case 30 frames\nper second. You can check the frame rate of your project by looking at\nthe selected video mode in the new projects window. If you select\nautomatic it will ensure the project resolution and frame rate\nautomatically match that of your media files.

\n

Start by adding all the video files to the playlist, this can be done\nin a number of ways for example it can be done by clicking on the open\nfile button in the top toolbar or within the open files menu.\nAlternatively you can drag and drop files into the playlist. I find this\nto be the easiest way to add media files to a project. Once this is done\nsave your project.

\n

Drag the first file from the Playlist to the timeline making sure\nthat the start of the video starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Click on the timeline in the position where the first start point of\ninterest is needed. Use the S key to split the video at this point.\nDon\'t worry about being too accurate as this can be moved at a later\nstage.

\n

Repeat this process for the end point of interest.

\n

Repeat this again for all the other sections of start and end points\nof interest.

\n

Remove the unwanted sections of video by clicking on a section then\nhitting the delete key. This will remove the unwanted section leaving an\nempty space behind.

\n

Once all the unwanted sections are removed click on the sections of\nvideo and pull them to the left to close the gaps up. I find it useful\nto leave some space between the good sections of video as it makes it\neasier to see where splits are and makes it easier later on to rearrange\nthe order of the individual clips.

\n

Check the start and end points of the remaining sections of video to\nsee that the start and end points stop in the correct place. You can do\nthis by clicking the play button on the preview window. The video start\nand end points can be adjusted by dragging the section left or right in\nin the timeline section; this is where leaving spaces Between each\nsection of video can be handy as it allows for fine tuning.

\n

Add a new blank video track to the timeline to hold the next video.\nNote this wasn\'t required when adding the first video track but it is\nneeded for each subsequent track. A video track can be added by right\nclicking on an empty portion of the timeline and selecting add video\ntrack. Alternatively use the ctrl + I key.

\n

Drag your second video from the playlist onto the newly created blank\nvideo track in the timeline. As before make sure that the start of the\nvideo starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Before previewing any section of the second video track click the\nsmall eye shaped hide icon in the left section of the first video track\nlabelled output. This will prevent previewing both video tracks at the\nsame time.

\n

Repeat the process above of chopping the second video track into\nsections using the S key to split the video up. Remove the unwanted\nsections. Finally adjust the start and end points of the remaining\nsections.

\n

Repeat the steps above to add the remaining video files one at a time\nfrom the playlist to the timeline.

\n

When complete you end up with separate video tracks in the timeline\neach containing good sections of video.

\n

At this stage I can\'t be too specific about how to continue as there\nare a number of different options depending on your particular Project.\nYou can for example start by combining the good sections of video into\none video track by dragging them from one track to another then add if\nrequired an audio track or you can add the audio track first and then\ntry to sync things up to the audio track moving bits and pieces of video\ninto one video track remembering to hide the unwanted sections of video\nby clicking on the small hide eye icons. Don\'t do too much editing\nwithout saving the project. If you get a message about low memory save\nthe project then reopen it.

\n

To export the final video click on the export button in the toolbar.\nI pick the default option, this creates an H.264/AAC MP4 file suitable\nfor most users and purposes. You can check the frame rate is the same as\nyour original media files by clicking on the advanced tab. Click the\nexport file button and give it a file name. It may take some time to\ncreate the export file. This will be dependent on the speed of your\ncomputer and the length and resolution of your project.

\n

While Shotcut is far from perfect on my puny PC it is surprisingly\nusable and stable and is the best option I’ve found so far.

\n

Finally here are some general shotcut tips I have when doing video\nediting on a puny PC with limited ram, slow processor and built in\ngraphics card such as mine.

\n

General Tips\nwhen working with a low powered PC

\n

Close all open applications leaving only shortcut open this helps\nwith RAM usage

\n

Shortcut is surprisingly stable with a feeble PC such as mine. I\nwould still recommend saving your project regularly as it is quick and\nvery easy to do.

\n

If you get a message about running out of RAM then try not to do too\nmuch more editing before saving the project. Once saved close shotcut\nand then reopen it. The longer your project is and the higher your\nproject resolution the more RAM you will need.

\n

When you are about to export your final video save the project close\nshortcut reopen shotcut and immediately export your project as any\nprevious editing may be taking up precious ram.

\n

Be patient when clicking on the timeline to repositioned the play\nhead. Always wait for the preview window to update. This can sometimes\ntake a few seconds.

\n

When trying to sync video to audio you need to zoom in in quite a\nlong way before getting an audio preview. When doing this and moving the\nplay head you\'ll get a choppy version of the audio with this it is still\nperfectly possible to find the beat of the music allowing you to sync\nyour video to the music. If this doesn\'t seem to work for you then try\nzooming in closer.

\n

Ok that\'s about it for this podcast. Hope it wasn\'t too boring and it\nmade some sense. If you want to contact me I can be contacted at\nmrxathpr at googlemail.

\n

Thank you and goodbye.

What\nis Typosquatting and How Do Scammers Use it?

\n
    \n
  • Typosquatting, as an attack, uses modified or misspelled domain\nnames to trick users into visiting fraudulent websites; the heart of\nthis attack is domain name registration. Typosquatting is deployed by\nscammers to defraud unaware users. Attackers will attempt to: mimic\nlogin pages, redirect traffic, download malware, and extort users.

Two-factor and\nMultifactor Authentication.

\n
    \n

  • First, authentication. This is the process of verifying the\nvalidity of something; in our case, user credentials/identity. The most\ncommon way to authenticate is: USERNAME and PASSWORD.\nThis is just a single layer (single-factor authentication) and isn’t\nenough to discourage attackers.

    • \n

  • Second, 2FA (Two-factor Authentication). 2FA increases the\ndifficulty for attackers by providing users an additional layer of\nsecurity to accomplish authentication. Common 2FA methods are: TOTP/OTP\n(the One Time Password), Authenticator\nApplications (Bitwarden, KeePassXC,...), and Security Keys (Yubikey). This works similar to ATMs;\nto authenticate the user must provide both knowledge (account\nPIN) and a physical object (bank card).

    • \n

  • Last, but not least, MFA (Multifactor Authentication). Similar to\n2FA, MFA offers users security with the addition of biometrics\n(fingerprint scan, retina scan, facial recognition, and voice\nrecognition). Attackers must overcome the knowledge factor, Possession\nfactor, Inherence/Biometric factor, Time factor, and sometimes Location\nfactor.

Burning data to a DVD or Blu-ray

\n

Note:

\n

Make sure that the medium is not mounted when you begin to write to\nit. Mounting may happen automatically if the medium contains a readable\nfile system. In the best case, it will prevent the burn programs from\nusing the burner device. In the worst case, there will be misburns\nbecause read operations disturbed the drive. So if in doubt, do:

\n
umount /dev/sr0
\n

growisofs has a small bug with blank BD-R media. It issues an error\nmessage after the burning is complete. Programs like k3b then believe\nthe whole burn run failed. To prevent this, either format the blank BD-R\nby dvd+rw-format /dev/sr0 before submitting it to growisofs or use\ngrowisofs option

Over 12 years ago, Jon \"The Nice Guy\"\nSpriggs went to a \"Pod Crawl\" with (among others) Dave \"The Love Bug\" Lee, where he\npitched the idea of a daily music promotion show, with a twist - it\nwould all be automated, and use text-to-speech to introduce\neverything.

\n

The first show was released\non 2010-10-24 and the last ever show (this one) was released on\n2022-10-12.

\n

Over the twelve years, Jon would go on to meet to meet Yannick and Ken Fallon, both\nof whom would go on to shape changes (big and small) to CCHits.

\n

This year, the cracks started to re-appear in the architecture\nunderneath CCHits - between APIs shutting down that were used to load\ntracks to CCHits, and the general framework being used to write CCHits\nnot receiving the care and attention it needed... and the team finally\ndecided to stop adding new tracks, and let the process build the last\nfew shows.

\nNew\nChinese Malware Attack Framework Targets Windows, macOS, and Linux\nSystems.\n

A previously undocumented command-and-control (C2) framework dubbed\nAlchimist is likely being used in the wild to target Windows, macOS, and\nLinux systems.

\n

\"Alchimist C2 has a web interface written in Simplified Chinese and\ncan generate a configured payload, establish remote sessions, deploy\npayloads to the remote machines, capture screenshots, perform remote\nshellcode execution, and run arbitrary commands,\" Cisco Talos said in a\nreport shared with The Hacker News. Written in GoLang, Alchimist is\ncomplemented by a beacon implant called Insekt, which comes with remote\naccess features that can be instrumented by the C2 server.”

\n

\"Since Alchimist is a single-file based ready-to-go C2 framework, it\nis difficult to attribute its use to a single actor such as the authors,\nAPTs, or crimeware syndicates.\"

\n

The trojan, for its part, is equipped with features typically present\nin backdoors of this kind, enabling the malware to get system\ninformation, capture screenshots, run arbitrary commands, and download\nremote files, among others.

\n

Alchimist C2 panel further features the ability to generate first\nstage payloads, including PowerShell and wget code snippets for Windows\nand Linux, potentially allowing an attacker to flesh out their infection\nchains to distribute the Insekt RAT binary. The instructions could then\nbe potentially embedded in a maldoc attached to a phishing email that,\nwhen opened, downloads and launches the backdoor on the compromised\nmachine. What\'s more, the Linux version of Insekt is capable of listing\nthe contents of the \".ssh\" directory and even adding new SSH keys to the\n\"~/.ssh/authorized_keys\" file to facilitate remote access over SSH.

\nHackers\nUsing Vishing to Trick Victims into Installing Android Banking\nMalware.\n

Malicious actors are resorting to voice phishing (vishing) tactics to\ndupe victims into installing Android malware on their devices.

\n

The Dutch mobile security company said it identified a network of\nphishing websites targeting Italian online-banking users that are\ndesigned to get hold of their contact details.

\n

Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD), as the social engineering\ntechnique is called, involves calling the victims using previously\ncollected information from the fraudulent websites.

\n

The caller, who purports to be a support agent for the bank,\ninstructs the individual on the other end of the call to install a\nsecurity app and grant it extensive permissions, when, in reality, it\'s\nmalicious software intended to gain remote access or conduct financial\nfraud.

\n

What\'s more, the infrastructure utilized by the threat actor has been\nfound to deliver a second malware named SMS Spy that enables the\nadversary to gain access to all incoming SMS messages and intercept\none-time passwords (OTPs) sent by banks.

\n

The new wave of hybrid fraud attacks presents a new dimension for\nscammers to mount convincing Android malware campaigns that have\notherwise relied on traditional methods such as Google Play Store\ndroppers, rogue ads, and smishing.

\n64,000\nAdditional Patients Impacted by Omnicell Data Breach - What is Your Data\nBreach Action Plan?\n

Founded in 1992, Omnicell is a leading provider of medication\nmanagement solutions for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and\nretail pharmacies. On May 4, 2022, Omnicell\'s IT systems and third-party\ncloud services were affected by ransomware attacks which may lead to\ndata security concerns for employees and patients. While it is still\nearly in the investigation, this appears to be a severe breach with\npotentially significant consequences for the company.

\n

Omnicell began informing individuals whose information may have been\ncompromised on August 3, 2022. Hackers may be able to access and sell\npatient-sensitive information, such as social security numbers, due to\nthe time delay between the breach and the company\'s report of affected\npatients.

\n

The type of information that may be exposed are:

\n
    \n
  • Credit card information.
    • \n
  • Financial information.
    • \n
  • Social security numbers.
    • \n
  • Driver\'s license numbers.
    • \n
  • Health insurance details.
    • \n
\n

The healthcare industry is one of the most targeted sectors globally,\nwith attacks doubling year over year. And these costs are measured in\nmillions or even billions of dollars - not to mention increased risks\nfor patients\' privacy (and reputation).

\n

How to\nprotect schools getting whacked by ransomware.

\n

Ransomware gangs are taking Americans to school. So far this year,\nhackers have taken hostage at least 1,735 schools in 27 districts; the\nmassive Los Angeles Unified School District is their latest target.

\n

Ransomware hackers breach computers, lock them up, steal sensitive\ndata and demand money to release their hold on organizations’ critical\nsystems. These criminals often attack schools because they are\nprofitable targets. If all ransomware victims refused to pay, the\nattacks would stop. Indeed, paying up might be illegal: The Treasury\nDepartment released guidance last year noting that giving money to\nglobal criminal organizations can violate sanctions law.

\n

The trouble is, saying no isn’t always easy. Los Angeles didn’t\ncapitulate, and the criminals leaked a trove of data — a consequence\nthat can prove more or less serious depending on the sensitivity of the\nstolen information.

\n

“Because we can,” said a representative of the ransomware gang that\ntook down Los Angeles Unified School District, explaining the\ncollective’s motivations to a Bloomberg News reporter. Schools’ task is\nto turn “can” to “can’t” — or, at least, to make success pay a whole lot\nless.

\n

CNET News.

\nVerizon\nAlerts Prepaid Customers to Recent Security Breach.\n

Verizon notified prepaid customers this week of a recent cyberattack\nthat granted third-party actors access to their accounts, as reported\nearlier Tuesday by BleepingComputer. The attack occurred between Oct. 6\nand Oct. 10 and affected 250 Verizon prepaid customers.

\n

The breach exposed the last four digits of customers\' credit cards\nused to make payments on their prepaid accounts. While no full credit\ncard information was accessible, the information was enough to grant the\nattackers access to Verizon user accounts, which hold semi-sensitive\ndata such \"name, telephone number, billing address, price plans, and\nother service-related information,\" per a notice from Verizon.

\n

Account access also potentially enabled attackers to process\nunauthorized SIM card changes on prepaid lines. Also known as SIM\nswapping, unauthorized SIM card changes can allow for the transfer of an\nunsuspecting person\'s phone number to another phone.

\n

From there, the counterfeit phone can be used to receive SMS messages\nfor password resets and user identification verifications on other\naccounts, giving attackers potential access to any account they have, or\ncan guess, the username for. Consequently, Verizon recommended affected\ncustomers secure their non-Verizon accounts such as social media,\nfinancial, email and other accounts that allow for password resets by\nphone.

Introduction

\n

Hello and welcome Hacker Public Radio audience my name is Mr X\nwelcome to this podcast. As per usual I\'d like to start by thanking the\npeople at HPR for making this podcast possible. HPR is a Community led\npodcast provided by the community for the community that means you can\ncontribute to. The HPR team have gone to great deal of effort to\nsimplify and streamline the process of providing podcasts. There are\nmany ways to record an episode these days using phones tablets PCs and\nalike. The hardest barrier is sending in your first show. Don\'t get too\nhung up about quality, it\'s more important just to send something in.\nThe sound quality of some of my early shows wasn\'t very good. If I can\ndo it anyone can and you might just get hooked in the process.

\n

Well it\'s been almost a year since I\'ve sent in a show. Looking at\nthe HPR site my last episode was back in November 2021. I suspect like\nmany others life has become more complicated and I find I have much less\nspare time and because I have much less spare time I have much less time\nto pursue my hobbies and because of this I have less to speak about and\nbecause of this I have less time to record what I\'ve been doing and it\nall turns into to vicious circle. Fortunately I recently had some time\noff work and had a lovely holiday. During the holiday I ended up\nrecording some video which I decided I wanted to edit. I\'ve done some\nvideo editing in the past using various video editing packages. The best\nand most recent of which is shotcut.

\n

Specific details and\nequipment

\n

Video resolution 1920 x 1080, Codec h264 mpeg-4, Frame rate 30 frames\nper second.

\n

Computer Dell Optiplex 780. Fitted with 4 GB of internal RAM and\nonboard video graphics card.

\n

Shotcut version 22.06.23 Shotcut is a free open-source cross-platform\nvideo editor licenced under the GNU general public licence version\n3.0

\n

This episode will only cover basic shotcut video editing techniques.\nShotcut contains many advanced features and effects that will not be\ncovered in this episode. A lot of the workflow I’ll share with you today\nis intended to get around limitations imposed by my low spec PC

\n

I\'ll try my best to cover the video editing process in this podcast\nusing words alone; however I am conscious that an accompanying video\nwould make it easier to follow along.

\n

Shotcut workflow

\n

Start by creating a folder to hold all the required media files.\nAudio tracks and sound effects can be added to this folder later. Make\nsure all your video files are using the same frame rate in my case 30\nframes per second.

\n

Open each video file in VLC one at a time going through each video\nfile looking for the best portions of video. Make a note of where the\nbest portions of the video are by writing down the start and end points\nin minutes and seconds.

\n

I do this because the interface of VLC is more responsive than\nshortcut and the resolution of displayed video is far greater than the\npreview in shortcut. This makes it quicker and easier to find the best\nportions of video.

\n

Open shortcut and make sure the new project is set to the same frames\nper second as the media files you\'re working with, in my case 30 frames\nper second. You can check the frame rate of your project by looking at\nthe selected video mode in the new projects window. If you select\nautomatic it will ensure the project resolution and frame rate\nautomatically match that of your media files.

\n

Start by adding all the video files to the playlist, this can be done\nin a number of ways for example it can be done by clicking on the open\nfile button in the top toolbar or within the open files menu.\nAlternatively you can drag and drop files into the playlist. I find this\nto be the easiest way to add media files to a project. Once this is done\nsave your project.

\n

Drag the first file from the Playlist to the timeline making sure\nthat the start of the video starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Click on the timeline in the position where the first start point of\ninterest is needed. Use the S key to split the video at this point.\nDon\'t worry about being too accurate as this can be moved at a later\nstage.

\n

Repeat this process for the end point of interest.

\n

Repeat this again for all the other sections of start and end points\nof interest.

\n

Remove the unwanted sections of video by clicking on a section then\nhitting the delete key. This will remove the unwanted section leaving an\nempty space behind.

\n

Once all the unwanted sections are removed click on the sections of\nvideo and pull them to the left to close the gaps up. I find it useful\nto leave some space between the good sections of video as it makes it\neasier to see where splits are and makes it easier later on to rearrange\nthe order of the individual clips.

\n

Check the start and end points of the remaining sections of video to\nsee that the start and end points stop in the correct place. You can do\nthis by clicking the play button on the preview window. The video start\nand end points can be adjusted by dragging the section left or right in\nin the timeline section; this is where leaving spaces Between each\nsection of video can be handy as it allows for fine tuning.

\n

Add a new blank video track to the timeline to hold the next video.\nNote this wasn\'t required when adding the first video track but it is\nneeded for each subsequent track. A video track can be added by right\nclicking on an empty portion of the timeline and selecting add video\ntrack. Alternatively use the ctrl + I key.

\n

Drag your second video from the playlist onto the newly created blank\nvideo track in the timeline. As before make sure that the start of the\nvideo starts at 0 seconds.

\n

Before previewing any section of the second video track click the\nsmall eye shaped hide icon in the left section of the first video track\nlabelled output. This will prevent previewing both video tracks at the\nsame time.

\n

Repeat the process above of chopping the second video track into\nsections using the S key to split the video up. Remove the unwanted\nsections. Finally adjust the start and end points of the remaining\nsections.

\n

Repeat the steps above to add the remaining video files one at a time\nfrom the playlist to the timeline.

\n

When complete you end up with separate video tracks in the timeline\neach containing good sections of video.

\n

At this stage I can\'t be too specific about how to continue as there\nare a number of different options depending on your particular Project.\nYou can for example start by combining the good sections of video into\none video track by dragging them from one track to another then add if\nrequired an audio track or you can add the audio track first and then\ntry to sync things up to the audio track moving bits and pieces of video\ninto one video track remembering to hide the unwanted sections of video\nby clicking on the small hide eye icons. Don\'t do too much editing\nwithout saving the project. If you get a message about low memory save\nthe project then reopen it.

To export the final video click on the export button in the toolbar.\nI pick the default option, this creates an H.264/AAC MP4 file suitable\nfor most users and purposes. You can check the frame rate is the same as\nyour original media files by clicking on the advanced tab. Click the\nexport file button and give it a file name. It may take some time to\ncreate the export file. This will be dependent on the speed of your\ncomputer and the length and resolution of your project.

\n

While Shotcut is far from perfect on my puny PC it is surprisingly\nusable and stable and is the best option I’ve found so far.

\n

Finally here are some general shotcut tips I have when doing video\nediting on a puny PC with limited ram, slow processor and built in\ngraphics card such as mine.

\n

General Tips\nwhen working with a low powered PC

\n

Close all open applications leaving only shortcut open this helps\nwith RAM usage

\n

Shortcut is surprisingly stable with a feeble PC such as mine. I\nwould still recommend saving your project regularly as it is quick and\nvery easy to do.

\n

If you get a message about running out of RAM then try not to do too\nmuch more editing before saving the project. Once saved close shotcut\nand then reopen it. The longer your project is and the higher your\nproject resolution the more RAM you will need.

\n

When you are about to export your final video save the project close\nshortcut reopen shotcut and immediately export your project as any\nprevious editing may be taking up precious ram.

\n

Be patient when clicking on the timeline to repositioned the play\nhead. Always wait for the preview window to update. This can sometimes\ntake a few seconds.

\n

When trying to sync video to audio you need to zoom in in quite a\nlong way before getting an audio preview. When doing this and moving the\nplay head you\'ll get a choppy version of the audio with this it is still\nperfectly possible to find the beat of the music allowing you to sync\nyour video to the music. If this doesn\'t seem to work for you then try\nzooming in closer.

\n

Ok that\'s about it for this podcast. Hope it wasn\'t too boring and it\nmade some sense. If you want to contact me I can be contacted at\nmrxathpr at googlemail.

\n

Thank you and goodbye.

What\nis Typosquatting and How Do Scammers Use it?

\n
    \n
  • Typosquatting, as an attack, uses modified or misspelled domain\nnames to trick users into visiting fraudulent websites; the heart of\nthis attack is domain name registration. Typosquatting is deployed by\nscammers to defraud unaware users. Attackers will attempt to: mimic\nlogin pages, redirect traffic, download malware, and extort users.

Two-factor and\nMultifactor Authentication.

\n
    \n

  • First, authentication. This is the process of verifying the\nvalidity of something; in our case, user credentials/identity. The most\ncommon way to authenticate is: USERNAME and PASSWORD.\nThis is just a single layer (single-factor authentication) and isn’t\nenough to discourage attackers.

    • \n

  • Second, 2FA (Two-factor Authentication). 2FA increases the\ndifficulty for attackers by providing users an additional layer of\nsecurity to accomplish authentication. Common 2FA methods are: TOTP/OTP\n(the One Time Password), Authenticator\nApplications (Bitwarden, KeePassXC,...), and Security Keys (Yubikey). This works similar to ATMs;\nto authenticate the user must provide both knowledge (account\nPIN) and a physical object (bank card).

    • \n

  • Last, but not least, MFA (Multifactor Authentication). Similar to\n2FA, MFA offers users security with the addition of biometrics\n(fingerprint scan, retina scan, facial recognition, and voice\nrecognition). Attackers must overcome the knowledge factor, Possession\nfactor, Inherence/Biometric factor, Time factor, and sometimes Location\nfactor.

Note:

\n

Make sure that the medium is not mounted when you begin to write to\nit. Mounting may happen automatically if the medium contains a readable\nfile system. In the best case, it will prevent the burn programs from\nusing the burner device. In the worst case, there will be misburns\nbecause read operations disturbed the drive. So if in doubt, do:

\n
umount /dev/sr0
\n

growisofs has a small bug with blank BD-R media. It issues an error\nmessage after the burning is complete. Programs like k3b then believe\nthe whole burn run failed. To prevent this, either format the blank BD-R\nby dvd+rw-format /dev/sr0 before submitting it to growisofs or use\ngrowisofs option
