You should! Listen to Armin from Coffee Stain Studios on todays episode of Hacker Public Radio!
\n\"We\'re actually working on Linux support. *pause* I don\'t know if I\'m supposed to say that.\"
-- Armin
In 2010 a few students from the University of Skövde created the Indie game developing company \"Coffee Stain Studios\". In 2011 they released the game \"Sanctum\" on Steam, and in May of 2013 they released \"Sanctum 2\". These games are most often described as a mix between First-person shooter and Tower defense. You find yourself in a futuristic setting, fighting aliens with a fair bit of humor. The player chooses how much resources to distribute on automatic towers or his or her own weapons. Both games featured the possibility to collaborate with your friends to beat the levels.
\nOne of the founders, Armin Ibrisagic, was at DreamHack in November 2013, where I got a chance to talk to him.
\n\"What is DreamHack?\" you ask? Only the world\'s largest computer festival, held multiple times a year in Jönköping, Sweden. According to Wikipedia \"It holds the world record (as recognized by the Guinness Book of Records and Twin Galaxies) for the world\'s largest LAN party and computer festival, and has held the record for the world\'s fastest Internet connection, and the record in most generated traffic.\"
\nI also got an interview with one of the organizers of DreamHack, but that you will hear another day. Today we focus on Sanctum, and how the market looks for smaller game developers.

\n\r\nIn this episode I go through how I set up SSH and SOCKS. This is very useful when you need to feel a bit more secure in your internet traffic and need to keep out of prying eyes. I also go over some tools used to access your home network from a Windows computer.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\nThis continues our look at frames by looking at frame styles for things other than text.\r\n
\r\n\r\nIn the previous tutorial we looked at using the frame style for text, which is not called the Text style, but the Frame style, which may be confusing. This is a very common use of frames, but there are others. To start the discussion, let’s get back to the basic concept of objects. LibreOffice is an object-oriented program and you should keep this in mind when dealing with this software.
\r\nA piece of text can be an object, and it can contain other objects (paragraphs, sentences, words, characters), or it can be contained within other objects (section, chapter, document). In the case we are looking at, a frame is an object, which contains other objects, and is in turn contained within larger objects (page, section, document). Depending on the objects being contained, the frame styles can be different, and that is what we need to look at now.

So let’s spend a few moments looking at these other options and see how they work.
\r\nTables can be a useful tool for more than just displaying tabular data. You can place different object in each cell of a table and so have some control over how things are laid out on the page. You could, for instance, place your sub-heads in a left-hand column, and the associated text in an adjoining column, which gives you the same effect as using the Marginalia style. And you can add pictures, charts, and other objects as well. You can even insert a table into a cell of another table to get more fine-grained control. In fact, in the days before Cascading Style Sheets and Javascript, tables were the primary way of laying out Web pages, though these days that is frowned upon, and in any case most Web pages are now created using some kind of CMS software like WordPress, or Drupal. The idea of using tables was more attractive when we realized you could turn-off the cell borders and make them invisible. Of course, in Writer documents that only works when they are printed. When opened on a computer the table borders are still visible, as indeed they would have to be for you to edit the document.

Columns are headed up A, B, C, and so on. After Z, the next column is AA, then AB, AC, AD, and so on. The maximum number of columns is 1024. Rows are numbered 1,2,3 and so on, and the maximum number of rows is 1024*1024, or 1,048,576. At this time I am not aware of any plans to increase these numbers, though that could change if competitive pressures make it necessary.
\r\nWhere a row and column intersect, there is a cell, which is given the address of the column followed by the row, e.g. A1, but never 1A. This is very useful since you can use the contents of a cell in a calculation by simply using the cell address. For example, to add the value of cell B4 to the value in cell C3 and store it, you would write “=B4+C3″ in the cell where you want to store the sum. Learning to use cell addresses is extremely important, so get in the habit of doing this at every opportunity.

For the fun of it, I start right out by digressing into a memory of mine. It is about how I tried to decode morse code telemetry from the AO-21 amateur radio satellite some 20 years ago by using a CBM-8032 computer. \r\n
\r\n\r\nAfter that I reveal the easy way to decode HPR1216 by using the CW mode of the program FLDIGI. Along the way, I mention the use of \"monitors\" in pulse audio, which are selectable in pavucontrol as input sources for audio applications. This is an easy way to loop back sound output from other applications. This method also combines nicely with WEBSDR, web accessible software defined receivers, all over the world. These may be used if you want to throw some real world signals at FLDIGI to play with the different modes. For listening to amateur radio communication I recommend to start out with one of these modes: CW (morse telegraphy), PSK > BPSK31 (very common, narrow band tele type mode) and RTTY > RTTY-45 (\"original\" radio tele type). For the typing modes you might want to check also \"View>Waterfall>Docked scope\" or activate \"View>View/Hide Channels\".\r\n
\r\n\r\nFinally I add a tip about using OSS-wrappers like aoss, from alsa-oss, and padsp from the pulseaudio-utils package, to run old OSS applications. I use this primarily for siggen, a suit of command line / curses applications for generating audio signals like sine wave, rectangle and so on. \r\n
\r\n\r\nNOTE: There is one stumbling block with pavucontrol, which I forgot to mention in the recording. Applications will only show up as playback sources or recording sinks when they actively use the interface. That is, the alsa player source will only be visible while playing, in the same way as an audacity sink can only be seen while the recording is going on. \r\n

Columns are headed up A, B, C, and so on. After Z, the next column is AA, then AB, AC, AD, and so on. The maximum number of columns is 1024. Rows are numbered 1,2,3 and so on, and the maximum number of rows is 1024*1024, or 1,048,576. At this time I am not aware of any plans to increase these numbers, though that could change if competitive pressures make it necessary.
\r\nWhere a row and column intersect, there is a cell, which is given the address of the column followed by the row, e.g. A1, but never 1A. This is very useful since you can use the contents of a cell in a calculation by simply using the cell address. For example, to add the value of cell B4 to the value in cell C3 and store it, you would write “=B4+C3″ in the cell where you want to store the sum. Learning to use cell addresses is extremely important, so get in the habit of doing this at every opportunity.

For the fun of it, I start right out by digressing into a memory of mine. It is about how I tried to decode morse code telemetry from the AO-21 amateur radio satellite some 20 years ago by using a CBM-8032 computer. \r\n
\r\n\r\nAfter that I reveal the easy way to decode HPR1216 by using the CW mode of the program FLDIGI. Along the way, I mention the use of \"monitors\" in pulse audio, which are selectable in pavucontrol as input sources for audio applications. This is an easy way to loop back sound output from other applications. This method also combines nicely with WEBSDR, web accessible software defined receivers, all over the world. These may be used if you want to throw some real world signals at FLDIGI to play with the different modes. For listening to amateur radio communication I recommend to start out with one of these modes: CW (morse telegraphy), PSK > BPSK31 (very common, narrow band tele type mode) and RTTY > RTTY-45 (\"original\" radio tele type). For the typing modes you might want to check also \"View>Waterfall>Docked scope\" or activate \"View>View/Hide Channels\".\r\n
\r\n\r\nFinally I add a tip about using OSS-wrappers like aoss, from alsa-oss, and padsp from the pulseaudio-utils package, to run old OSS applications. I use this primarily for siggen, a suit of command line / curses applications for generating audio signals like sine wave, rectangle and so on. \r\n
\r\n\r\nNOTE: There is one stumbling block with pavucontrol, which I forgot to mention in the recording. Applications will only show up as playback sources or recording sinks when they actively use the interface. That is, the alsa player source will only be visible while playing, in the same way as an audacity sink can only be seen while the recording is going on. \r\n

\r\n\r\nI’ve now been using the Nokia 6 for about 2 months and just wanted to update listeners to my thoughts on the phone.
\r\nFirst a response to Dave who said on the Community News that as he had a OnePlus 1 he was surprised I found it inadequate. The One+1 is a great phone, my problem with it was it does not support O2’s 4G network although it supports EE’s and 3’s 4G networks here in the UK, as I use GiffGaff which runs on the O2 network I have not been able to benefit from their 4G offer and I don’t want to change provider. Also the One+1 was stuck on CyanogenMod 13.1 (Android 6) and no longer got updates, so this was the reason for the new phone purchase. I’ve now flashed Lineage OS onto the One+1 and have a secure backup phone or one I can pass on to my Wife at some stage.
\r\nBack to the Nokia, now I’ve lived with the phone for a few weeks I can say I am more than happy with it, and some of the issues with battery life I have found are unfounded once you configure some of the settings to be more battery friendly, such as restricting background access to the net for most aps the battery life is well over a day\'s use. At night in stand by mode over 8 hours battery use is less than 1% so even with moderate to heavy use I can get a day out of the phone without any risk of running out. Also if the official charger and cable are used a 1 hour charge gives about a 30-40% battery capacity, so not as slow as the reviews I’ve read. Would I still buy it having used it for 2 months, I would say yes to that, and I also have no issues with recommending it as a large format phone at a budget price.

\r\nPdmenu is a tool written by Joey Hess which allows the creation of a simple menu in a terminal (console) window. It is in his list of less active projects, and the latest version is dated 2014, but it seems to be quite complete and useful as it is.
I like simple menus. As a Sysadmin in my last job I used one on OpenVMS which helped me run the various periodic tasks I needed to run - especially the less frequent ones - without having to remember all of the details.
\r\nI do the same on my various Linux systems, and find that pdmenu is ideal for the task.
I found pdmenu in the Debian repositories (I run Debian Testing), and it was very easily installed. The C source is available as a tarfile, though I\r\n haven\'t tried building it myself.
pdmenuSimply typing pdmenu at a command prompt will invoke the utility. It uses the file /etc/pdmenurc as its default configuration file, and this generates a menu with a demonstration of some of its features.
This is not particularly useful but it can be overridden by creating your own configuration, which by default is in ~/.pdmenurc. The pdmenu command itself takes a configuration file as an argument, so there is plenty of flexibility.
The full notes which describe the use of pdmenu with examples can be found here.

\r\nPdmenu is a tool written by Joey Hess which allows the creation of a simple menu in a terminal (console) window. It is in his list of less active projects, and the latest version is dated 2014, but it seems to be quite complete and useful as it is.
I like simple menus. As a Sysadmin in my last job I used one on OpenVMS which helped me run the various periodic tasks I needed to run - especially the less frequent ones - without having to remember all of the details.
\r\nI do the same on my various Linux systems, and find that pdmenu is ideal for the task.
I found pdmenu in the Debian repositories (I run Debian Testing), and it was very easily installed. The C source is available as a tarfile, though I\r\n haven\'t tried building it myself.
pdmenuSimply typing pdmenu at a command prompt will invoke the utility. It uses the file /etc/pdmenurc as its default configuration file, and this generates a menu with a demonstration of some of its features.
This is not particularly useful but it can be overridden by creating your own configuration, which by default is in ~/.pdmenurc. The pdmenu command itself takes a configuration file as an argument, so there is plenty of flexibility.
The full notes which describe the use of pdmenu with examples can be found here.
In the previous episode of this series, you set up an OpenVPN server. In this episode, Klaatu walks you through:
\r\n\r\n\r\nInstalling OpenVPN on a client machine.\r\n
\r\nGenerating a key and certificate request.\r\n
\r\nSigning a client cert from the server.\r\n
\r\nConfiguring the client.conf file.\r\n
\r\nConfiguring the client routing table to use the VPN subnet.\r\n
\r\nPinging the server over VPN!!!\r\n
Where to go from here? \r\n
\r\nYour next steps should be to investigate how your org wants to use VPN, how your clients actually want to join the VPN (Network Manager has some nice features that makes joining a VPN fairly transparent). Have fun!

\r\nHi, I\'m Brian in Ohio
\r\nI wanted to tell a little about my trials and tribulations of finding a solution to taking org mode on the road. What\'s org mode? Listen to my last episode or do a duckduckgo to find out.
\r\nAfter switching from using a bullet journal to using emacs-org-mode as my organizing device I immediately saw that lugging a laptop everywhere was not going to work for me. I wanted to be able to access org-mode, especially the agenda view, anywhere I might be. Laptops with limited battery life and a large physical presence were not going to work for me.
\r\nThe first solution I tried, and the most obvious, was the mobile-org app. Its available for android or ios. I can only attest to the android version. Its an easy from the play store. This solution didn\'t work for me for a number of reasons. First, the documentation for the setup is terrible, and I became frustrated by the workflow and could not get useful results using the app. Mobile-org seems to be built around using dropox. In order to get around that I tried various methods of syncing my org files using onboard storage. Seeing this wasn\'t going to work I bit the bullet setup a dropbox account installed the clients, one on my slackware laptop and the other on my phone only to find dropbox doesn\'t support this application anymore. A little digging around and it seems the API used by mobile-org isn\'t up to snuff any more so, fail. I cut my loses and moved on to another possible solution.
\r\nMy next crack at solving the portable org mode problem was getting a pitop laptop https://pi-top.com/. Pitop is a laptop based on a raspberrypi. I won\'t go into the details of the device here but I\'ll say my idea for using this device was its advertised 8+ hour battery life. My old linux laptops rarely give me 2 hours of life So even though the pitop was physically larger than I wanted I gave it a whirl. Lets just say the battery does last 8+ hours, it just can\'t survive many recharges. 2 battery packs later I gave up on the pitop and went looking for something else.
\r\nI heard klaatu mention a device called a pocketchip on his gnuworld order podcast https://gnuworldorder.info/. I looked into it and here I thought might be a device that could work. Pocketchip https://getchip.com/pages/pocketchip is a handheld linux computer. After ordering the device I began setting it up for my use case. There are plenty of tutorials on the pocketchip website on how to extend the usefulness of this product. The size of the device was good and the battery life was ok. Some people complain about the chicklet keyboard but I actually did not mind it to much. It took some fiddling to get the emacs keybindings I use to work on the odd keyboard layout, but its a linux computer so there\'s plenty of information out there. I used a thumb drive as a repository for my org files, wrote a couple of scripts to sync up the files with whatever device the drive was plugged into and wala a mobile org solution! Alas, the pocketchips demise was its build quality. The heart of the pocketchip, the system board\'s usb mini plug fell off, and then one system tweak later I bricked the device. I\'ll recover it eventually, you can program it through the gpio pins, but this was a quest for portable-org-mode, not fixing pocketchips, so onward.
\r\nI saw a build of a raspberry pi tablet that looked very nice https://www.stefanv.com/electronics/a-compact-home-made-raspberry-pi-tablet.html. Always up for a challenge, I cobbled together a prototype and tried it out. The reason I eventually dropped this solution because the virtual keyboard didn\'t work well and I couldn\'t get the official raspberrypi lcd to rotate from portrait to landscape dynamically. Still a fun project and I\'ll get some use out of it sometime.
\r\nWell here\'s the solution I came up with. I was searching around on the internet and found a link telling about running emacs on an android phone. https://endlessparentheses.com/running-emacs-on-android.html. It involves installing the termux app, the hackers keyboard, both available in the google play store and apt-get installing emacs on the phone. After that I had full emacs running, all be it in a terminal so its slightly different then running on the desktop, and with emacs you get, drum roll please, org-mode. With this i have the device I always take with running org-mode. I sink my org files between my laptop and phone using the afore mentioned drop box account. The hackers keyboard works flawlessly and can digest any emacs keybinding I need. I also have a logitech bluetoothkeyboard that I can use if I have a lot of typing to do in org-mode on my phone, such as these shownotes!
\r\nI find org-mode so useful that I want it available any where I go. And over the course of the last 8 months I went on a journey trying to find a solution to that desire. In the end, the solution was pretty obvious, these portable computers we carry around are amazing and thanks to the developers of termux and the hackers keyboard my phone is now infinitely more useful to me. Thanks for listening.

\r\nWe demand a world in which technology is created to protect and empower the people who use it. Our technology must respect the rights and freedoms of those users. We need to take control for the purpose of collectively building a better world in which technology works in service to the good of human kind, protecting our rights and digital autonomy as individuals.
\r\nWe have become more reliant than ever on technology that we intertwine into every aspect of our lives. That technology is currently made not for us, those using it. Rather, it is for the companies who intend to monetize its use and whoever owns the associated copyrights and patents. Services are run via networked software on computers we never directly interact with. Our devices are designed to only function while broadcasting our intimate information regardless of whether the transmission of that information is necessary functionality. We generate data that we do not have access to, that is bought, sold, and traded between corporations and governments. Technologies we\'re increasingly being forced to use reinforce and amplify social inequalities. As schools and jobs go online, high speed computing, centralized services and Internet become inescapably necessary. Technology is designed and implemented to oppress, often with sexist, classist, and racist implications. Rather than being served by these tools, we are instead in service to them. These gatekeepers of our technology are not individual people or public organizations who think about the wellbeing of others, but instead are corporations, governments and others with agendas that do not include our best interests. Our technology has become the basic infrastructure on which our society functions, and yet the individuals who use it have no say or control over its function.
\r\nIt\'s time to change our digital destiny.
\r\nWe believe it is necessary for technology to provide opportunity for: informed consent of use; transparent development and operation; privacy and security from bad actors; interaction without fear of surveillance; technology to work primarily on the terms of the people using it; functionality inside and outside of connected networks; use with other services and other software, repair; and connection, and not alienation, from the technology itself and that which is created from it.
\r\nWe therefore call for the adoption of the following principles for ethical technology:
\r\nWhen people discover that their technology is not functioning in their interest, or that the trade offs to use it have become too burdensome, they must have the ability to change what they are using, including the ability to replace the software on a device that they have purchased if it is not serving their interests and to use the technology while not being connected to a centralized network or choose a different network.
\r\nTechnology should not just be designed for the individuals using it, but also the communities of users. These communities can be those intentionally built around a piece of technology, geographic in nature, or united by another shared purpose. This includes having the ability and right to organize to repair the technology on and to migrate essential data to other solutions. Ownership of essential data must belong to the community relying on them.
\r\nWe, as individuals, collectives, cultures, and societies, are making this call in the rapidly changing face of technology and its deepening integration into our lives. Technology must support us as we forge our own digital destinies as our connectivity to digital networks and one another changes in ways we anticipate and in ways we have yet to imagine. Technology makers and those who use this technology can form the partnerships necessary to build the equitable, hopeful future we dream of.

This episode is inspired by HPR episode 3157 entitled Compost by Klaatu. During the early 2000\'s, I lived in a single family home which had a number of oak trees around it. Between the trees, other foliage, and grass, there was a large amount of yard waste. While my city (Baltimore, MD in the US) will pick up your yard waste if you put it in bags by the curb [1], I would use the oak leaves as mulch, and did have a mulch pile of leaves and other yard waste. At that time, I thought about composting food waste, but there is a big issue with rats in Baltimore, and I didn\'t look into ways to compost. I just knew I couldn\'t randomly mix it into my mulch pile.
\r\nI am currently living in a different house, without any oak trees, and not as much yard waste (particularly since we hire someone to mow the grass every couple weeks). After listening to the Compost episode, I was inspired to look into the best way to do it given my current living situation. The first thing I did was to look and see if there are any laws against composting in Baltimore City. The rat problem is big enough that the City purchased and distributed a large green plastic trash bin to every physical mailing address in the city. This is the bin you are required to use when putting out your trash. Given the situation, I wasn\'t sure it would be legal to do composting in your back yard. Much to my surprise, it is not only legal, but the city website has a web page on how to compost [2] and just recently started a pilot program for food scrap drop off with seven locations around the city [3].
\r\nAfter determining I wasn\'t going to be a scofflaw, I went to the Internet to see what kind of bins are available for purchase. While Klaatu gives great suggestions for low cost composting bins, I wanted something that would look nice sitting out on a shelf for the small inside bin. I found the Utopia Kitchen Compost Bin [4]. The bin is made of stainless steel and has a volume of 1.3 gallons (4.9 liters). The lid is rounded and has a series of holes around the top. The inside of the lid holds a circular shaped charcoal filter. The combination of holes and charcoal filter capture any odors generated by the food scraps. It works amazingly well and even with onion scraps you need to stick your nose to the holes and inhale deep to smell anything when the lid is closed. It holds three to seven days worth of food scraps, most of which end up being coffee grinds. We have had this bin for 10 months, and the charcoal filter is still effective. There are replacement filters available for this bin, but you could also cut other charcoal filters to fit inside the lid.
\r\nGiven the potential rat and other small critter issues, I wanted the main, outside composter to be fully enclosed, and preferably not sitting directly on the ground. A quick search brings up a number of options, both composters that sit on the ground and ones that are tumbler style, which hang on a frame. I went with a tumbler style compost bin. This provided the desired feature of not being on the ground, and has the added advantage of making it easy to turn the compost every second or third day by just rotating the bin slowly for three or four full turns. I purchased the FCMP Outdoor IM4000 Tumbling Composter [5]. The composter is octagonal shaped column with two chambers inside it. This allows you to fill one chamber while the other side is finishing the composting process. There are also aeration holes for each chamber which can be open to different levels to moderate the amount of moisture. The combined volume of the two chambers is approximately 37 gallons (140 liters).
\r\nSo far I have been very happy with this combination. I just emptied a chamber for the third time. I do have a bit of an issue with the compost being overly damp. I have mixed some drier yard waste in from time to time and that does help, but have had times when parts of it get a little slimy. I have also run into issues with flies and other bugs living in the chamber for a while, but generally I don\'t see them outside of the composter, just when I open the door to add more material. Not ideal, but not so bad that I did anything about it. I have also found certain things do take extra time to compost, and usually need some manual help to break down. Pits of mangoes and avocados in particular along with corn cobs take a long time to break down. They do start to compost, and are easy to crumble in your hands, but keep their basic shape for a long while. Egg shells don\'t really break down, as Klaatu mentioned, but they do become very brittle and I crumble them up manually along with the pits and corn cobs. Another issue I have found with damper compost, particularly in cooler months, it doesn\'t heat up enough to decompose the seeds of some plants. This ended up being a pleasant surprise this summer after mixing in the first batch of compost in our little herb garden during the spring. We now have a combination of plumb and medium sized tomato plants and some kind of squash plant growing in it. If you don\'t want random plants growing in your yard or flower beds, do be careful when composting plants with seeds [6].
\r\nWhile it takes a little extra effort, composting does reduce the amount of garbage you are sending to the dump, and does reduce the smell of your kitchen trash bin. It also gives a rewarding feeling as you watch the material break down into a rich dirt, and then mix it into your garden or yard. I recommend giving it a try, and posting your experience as another episode of Hacker Public Radio.

\r\nA hospital in Spain did a double blind study, solid science. In this study, before any vaccines were available for covid, vitamin D3 made the difference between a 7.6% death rate due to covid, and a 0% death rate with vitamin D3. This YouTube video gets very technical, but tells the story.

Even so, medical professionals in New York set up a covid triage in Central Park during a season when the daytime temperature was in the 50s, and night time temperature was much colder.

\r\nI am in the process of rewriting some scripts I use to manage Magnatune albums. I’m a lifetime Magnatune member and have access to the whole music collection. I wrote a script for downloading albums and placing them in my ~/Music directory which I talked about in 2013 (show 1204). The original scripts are still available on GitLab and I know of one other person who made use of them!
Since 2013 I have written a few other support scripts, for example one to manage a queue of albums I want to buy and download, and one which summarises the state of this queue.
\r\nIt’s this \'show_queue\' script I am currently updating (called show_queue_orig, and available in the resources to this show). The original version of this script took Magnatune album URLs from a file (acting as a queue of stuff I wanted to buy), parsed out a piece of the URL and used it to grep a pre-prepared summary in another file. This file of summaries had been made from a master XML file provided by Magnatune (see update_albums on GitLab).
Magnatune has moved away from this master XML file to a SQLite database in recent years, so I want to perform a database lookup for each URL to list its details.
\r\nThe first version of the new script wasn’t difficult to write: just extract the search data as before and run a query on the database using this data. I have included this script which I call show_queue_db_1 amongst the resources for this episode, so you can see what I’m talking about – and what I want to improve on. It felt bad to be performing multiple calls on the sqlite3 command in a loop, so I looked around for an alternative way.
In April 2019 clacke did a show (number 2793) about the Bash coproc command.
This command creates a subshell running a command or group of commands which is connected to the calling (parent) process through two file descriptors (FDs). It’s possible for the calling shell to write to the input descriptor and read from the output one and thereby communicate with whatever is running in the subshell.
\r\nI was vaguely aware of coproc at the time of clacke’s show but hadn’t looked into it. I found the show fascinating but didn’t have a use for the feature at the time.
To solve my need to show my Magnatune queue of future purchases, it looked as if a sqlite3 instance running in a subshell could be given queries one after the other and return the answers I needed. My journey to a Bash script using coproc then followed.

This episode is inspired by HPR episode 3157 entitled Compost by Klaatu. During the early 2000\'s, I lived in a single family home which had a number of oak trees around it. Between the trees, other foliage, and grass, there was a large amount of yard waste. While my city (Baltimore, MD in the US) will pick up your yard waste if you put it in bags by the curb [1], I would use the oak leaves as mulch, and did have a mulch pile of leaves and other yard waste. At that time, I thought about composting food waste, but there is a big issue with rats in Baltimore, and I didn\'t look into ways to compost. I just knew I couldn\'t randomly mix it into my mulch pile.
\r\nI am currently living in a different house, without any oak trees, and not as much yard waste (particularly since we hire someone to mow the grass every couple weeks). After listening to the Compost episode, I was inspired to look into the best way to do it given my current living situation. The first thing I did was to look and see if there are any laws against composting in Baltimore City. The rat problem is big enough that the City purchased and distributed a large green plastic trash bin to every physical mailing address in the city. This is the bin you are required to use when putting out your trash. Given the situation, I wasn\'t sure it would be legal to do composting in your back yard. Much to my surprise, it is not only legal, but the city website has a web page on how to compost [2] and just recently started a pilot program for food scrap drop off with seven locations around the city [3].
\r\nAfter determining I wasn\'t going to be a scofflaw, I went to the Internet to see what kind of bins are available for purchase. While Klaatu gives great suggestions for low cost composting bins, I wanted something that would look nice sitting out on a shelf for the small inside bin. I found the Utopia Kitchen Compost Bin [4]. The bin is made of stainless steel and has a volume of 1.3 gallons (4.9 liters). The lid is rounded and has a series of holes around the top. The inside of the lid holds a circular shaped charcoal filter. The combination of holes and charcoal filter capture any odors generated by the food scraps. It works amazingly well and even with onion scraps you need to stick your nose to the holes and inhale deep to smell anything when the lid is closed. It holds three to seven days worth of food scraps, most of which end up being coffee grinds. We have had this bin for 10 months, and the charcoal filter is still effective. There are replacement filters available for this bin, but you could also cut other charcoal filters to fit inside the lid.
\r\nGiven the potential rat and other small critter issues, I wanted the main, outside composter to be fully enclosed, and preferably not sitting directly on the ground. A quick search brings up a number of options, both composters that sit on the ground and ones that are tumbler style, which hang on a frame. I went with a tumbler style compost bin. This provided the desired feature of not being on the ground, and has the added advantage of making it easy to turn the compost every second or third day by just rotating the bin slowly for three or four full turns. I purchased the FCMP Outdoor IM4000 Tumbling Composter [5]. The composter is octagonal shaped column with two chambers inside it. This allows you to fill one chamber while the other side is finishing the composting process. There are also aeration holes for each chamber which can be open to different levels to moderate the amount of moisture. The combined volume of the two chambers is approximately 37 gallons (140 liters).
\r\nSo far I have been very happy with this combination. I just emptied a chamber for the third time. I do have a bit of an issue with the compost being overly damp. I have mixed some drier yard waste in from time to time and that does help, but have had times when parts of it get a little slimy. I have also run into issues with flies and other bugs living in the chamber for a while, but generally I don\'t see them outside of the composter, just when I open the door to add more material. Not ideal, but not so bad that I did anything about it. I have also found certain things do take extra time to compost, and usually need some manual help to break down. Pits of mangoes and avocados in particular along with corn cobs take a long time to break down. They do start to compost, and are easy to crumble in your hands, but keep their basic shape for a long while. Egg shells don\'t really break down, as Klaatu mentioned, but they do become very brittle and I crumble them up manually along with the pits and corn cobs. Another issue I have found with damper compost, particularly in cooler months, it doesn\'t heat up enough to decompose the seeds of some plants. This ended up being a pleasant surprise this summer after mixing in the first batch of compost in our little herb garden during the spring. We now have a combination of plumb and medium sized tomato plants and some kind of squash plant growing in it. If you don\'t want random plants growing in your yard or flower beds, do be careful when composting plants with seeds [6].
\r\nWhile it takes a little extra effort, composting does reduce the amount of garbage you are sending to the dump, and does reduce the smell of your kitchen trash bin. It also gives a rewarding feeling as you watch the material break down into a rich dirt, and then mix it into your garden or yard. I recommend giving it a try, and posting your experience as another episode of Hacker Public Radio.

The homeless weren\'t affected as much as other segments of the population. This Radiolab episode suggests that healthy vitamin D3 levels from being out in the sun often may be the reason.
\r\nhttps://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/invisible-allies
\r\nA hospital in Spain did a double blind study, solid science. In this study, before any vaccines were available for covid, vitamin D3 made the difference between a 7.6% death rate due to covid, and a 0% death rate with vitamin D3. This YouTube video gets very technical, but tells the story.
\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Ks9fUh2k8
\r\nBack in the 60s, body temperature\'s effect on fighting viruses was known, that knowledge was lost for a time because of scientists who spoke out, not knowing the whole story, but in 2003, in the aftermath of the previous covid outbreak, a doctor from China documented the need for body heat to fight off covid. Even so, medical professionals in New York set up a covid triage in Central Park during a season when the daytime temperature was in the 50s, and night time temperature was much colder. Just having a PhD behind your name doesn\'t make you right.

\r\nI am in the process of rewriting some scripts I use to manage Magnatune albums. I’m a lifetime Magnatune member and have access to the whole music collection. I wrote a script for downloading albums and placing them in my ~/Music directory which I talked about in 2013 (show 1204). The original scripts are still available on GitLab and I know of one other person who made use of them!
Since 2013 I have written a few other support scripts, for example one to manage a queue of albums I want to buy and download, and one which summarises the state of this queue.
\r\nIt’s this \'show_queue\' script I am currently updating (called show_queue_orig, and available in the resources to this show). The original version of this script took Magnatune album URLs from a file (acting as a queue of stuff I wanted to buy), parsed out a piece of the URL and used it to grep a pre-prepared summary in another file. This file of summaries had been made from a master XML file provided by Magnatune (see update_albums on GitLab).
Magnatune has moved away from this master XML file to a SQLite database in recent years, so I want to perform a database lookup for each URL to list its details.
\r\nThe first version of the new script wasn’t difficult to write: just extract the search data as before and run a query on the database using this data. I have included this script which I call show_queue_db_1 amongst the resources for this episode, so you can see what I’m talking about – and what I want to improve on. It felt bad to be performing multiple calls on the sqlite3 command in a loop, so I looked around for an alternative way.
In April 2019 clacke did a show (number 2793) about the Bash coproc command.
This command creates a subshell running a command or group of commands which is connected to the calling (parent) process through two file descriptors (FDs). It’s possible for the calling shell to write to the input descriptor and read from the output one and thereby communicate with whatever is running in the subshell.
\r\nI was vaguely aware of coproc at the time of clacke’s show but hadn’t looked into it. I found the show fascinating but didn’t have a use for the feature at the time.
To solve my need to show my Magnatune queue of future purchases, it looked as if a sqlite3 instance running in a subshell could be given queries one after the other and return the answers I needed. My journey to a Bash script using coproc then followed.

Since some of the information you are about to hear is time specific,\nI want to let you know that I am recording this near the end of November\nin 2023.
\nWhichever holidays you celebrate this time of year, life generally\ngets busy and stressful.
\nIt could be shopping
\nor cooking
\nor cleaning
\nor school activities
\nor buying, assembling, wrapping, and delivering gifts
\nor planning time with family
\nor dealing with visiting family
\nor scheduling time off from work
\nor managing extra work while others have scheduled time off
\nor a whole plethora of other things.
\nThis time of year can be stressful.
A few years ago, I discovered a fun activity, which challenged my\nmind and helped me focus and detach from the stress for a little while\neach day, through the month of December. It helped me manage the stress\nin an enjoyable way.
\nSince then, I have found and tried several other similar activities,\nso I wanted to share a little about them with you for the next few\nepisodes so you can see what might work for you.
\nThe first I would like to share is called the Advent of Code\nChallenge (https://adventofcode.com/). In HPR episodes 2973 (
But the TLDR (Or maybe the TLDL -- Too Long Didn\'t Listen?) for\nAdvent of Code is that it is a 25 day challenge which begins on December\n1. Once you register at adventofcode.com, Each day, you will be\npresented with a problem to solve and some sample data to use for\nverification that your program works. You can choose to use any\nprogramming language or application you desire produce the answer. Last\nyear, I used this to brush up on my Python skills. Others use Visual\nBasic, C (and all its variants), Rust, Go, etc. I have seen people use\nCobol, Fortran, and Pascal, or even Microsoft Excel. It is really up to\nyou. You are then presented a dataset which is unique to your login, and\nagainst which you run your code. When complete, you submit the answer\ncame up with on the adventofcode.com web site and they will tell you if\nyou are correct or not.
\nIf you are competitive (And REALLY GOOD) there is a Global\nLeaderboard. If you want to compete with a group of friends, you can\nbuild your own leaderboard and invite others to take part with you.
\nThere are tons of resources online, from youtube channels to reddit\n(https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/), to Discord (
So, if you are looking for a way to challenge your mind and detach\nfrom holiday stress, Advent of Code may be something you might try.
\nIf this is not your cup of tea, I will be sharing several other\noptions for holiday challenges in future episodes.

\nI have been using TryHackMe for several years, and I recommend it to\nall of my students. It is a great environment where people can get hands\non experience with technology that relates to cyber security, all from\nthe comfort of their browser and free year-round.
\nThe TryHackMe Advent of Cyber challenge is a free gamified\nenvironment which focuses on penetration testing, security\noperations/engineering, forensics/incident response, malware analysis,\nmachine learning, and more!
\nThis year\'s challenge opens on December 1, 2023 (Which is the reason\nwhy I am posting twice this week). Typically, the Advent of Cyber\nchallenge includes daily beginner-friendly exercises for people new to\ncybersecurity. These can consist of walkthroughs, video tutorials, and\nchallenges. There are also prizes available based on random drawings and\non participant success.
\nInfosec personalities like John Hammond, Gerald Auger, InsiderPHD,\nand InfoSec Pat are featured in this year\'s challenge.
\nYou can play with last year\'s Advent of Cyber challenge by visiting\nhttps://tryhackme.com/room/adventofcyber4. It outlines\nthe overall story and shows all of the tasks last year\'s participants\nexperienced, including both offensive and defensive topics like: log\nanalysis, OSINT, scanning, brute force attacks, email analysis,\nCyberChef, blockchain smart contracts, malware analysis, memory\nforensics, packet analysis, web application hacking, and more!
\nEverything can be done with a free account from within a browser.
\nIf you want to learn more about cybersecurity, transition your career\ninto infosec, or just have fun playing with cyber challenges, you can\ngive it a try by visiting tryhackme.com or
Please note: I am not affiliated with TryHackMe in any way, other\nthan having been a paying member for many years. Students and others who\nhave participated in previous year\'s Advent of Cyber challenges have\ntold me how much they enjoyed it and learned from it. Even though I have\nbeen an infosec practitioner for more years than I would like to admit,\nI also have enjoyed taking part in this challenge.
\nIf this is not for you, I will be sharing another option for a\nholiday challenge in my next episode.

\nThe SANS Holiday Hack Challenge is an interactive online technology\nand hacking game combined with a virtual security conference, beginning\nin the second week of December. By the time this episode drops, it may\nalready be live. You can tour the North Pole conference facilities,\nmeeting people, interactive non-player characters (NPC), and maybe even\nsome villains from Holiday Hack Challenges past, as you solve problems\nand gather clues which you use to help save Christmas.
\nEverything can be done from within the browser, and did I mention\nthere is a virtual security conference, called KringleCon?
