This is Linux in-laws.
|
||
|
|
A podcast on topics around free and open-source software, any associated contraband,
|
||
|
|
communism, the revolution in general, and whatever else, fanciful.
|
||
|
|
Please note that this and other episodes may contain strong language,
|
||
|
|
offensive humor, and other, certainly not politically correct language.
|
||
|
|
You have been warned. Our parents insisted on this disclaimer.
|
||
|
|
Happy mum? That's the content is not suitable for consumption in the workplace,
|
||
|
|
especially when played back on a speaker in an open-plan office or similar environments.
|
||
|
|
Any miners under the age of 35, or any pets including fluffy little killer bunnies,
|
||
|
|
you trusted guide dog unless on speed, and Q to T-Rexes or other associated dinosaurs.
|
||
|
|
This is Linux in-laws.
|
||
|
|
Season 1, episode 6, porn and Trump.
|
||
|
|
Due to a technical mess-up, a major part of the show was recorded with an always-ampling rate,
|
||
|
|
resulting in somewhat reduced audio quality.
|
||
|
|
We would like to assure the audience that A, we will try to take the necessary precautions
|
||
|
|
to minimise simpler incidents in the future and B, and video or any of its subsidiaries,
|
||
|
|
including Scrinet, had anything to do with this.
|
||
|
|
Button, how are you?
|
||
|
|
Good morning. Good morning Chris. How are you?
|
||
|
|
I can't complain. It's bright and early. Almost 8 o'clock where I live.
|
||
|
|
That's early for some people.
|
||
|
|
You were saying early on the holy hour?
|
||
|
|
Yes. I got up at around 6 o'clock to have a little bit of coffee.
|
||
|
|
I've also been quite a bit of coffee between 6 and 8.
|
||
|
|
Some people tend to take a shower when they get up and stuff, so I don't know about you.
|
||
|
|
I guess it depends what you're up to at night, but that's not good at all.
|
||
|
|
Since our last episode.
|
||
|
|
Yes, it's been a while.
|
||
|
|
Thank you for arranging the last episode, obviously, in my absence.
|
||
|
|
My pleasure. I hope you liked the interview.
|
||
|
|
Yes. There was a small matter of the content of it.
|
||
|
|
Please share your content right now.
|
||
|
|
Well, you mentioned the number of what do we call these people again?
|
||
|
|
Companies?
|
||
|
|
Yes. No, the robot guys.
|
||
|
|
Terminators.
|
||
|
|
Thank you.
|
||
|
|
You forgot.
|
||
|
|
It is early. Sorry, listeners.
|
||
|
|
All our first coffees.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, you missed the main Terminator to mention in your episode.
|
||
|
|
Sorry, we only could get one to do the interview.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, Cyberdyne didn't send us a whole lot, but it's just one of Skyard, rather.
|
||
|
|
I didn't have an awful lot of choice in the matter.
|
||
|
|
But from what I hear, the feedback is quite good.
|
||
|
|
So, I'm just wondering what you are.
|
||
|
|
What you view on the matter is?
|
||
|
|
On the recording or on the content?
|
||
|
|
No, it was a very clever construct.
|
||
|
|
Well done. Apart from the content.
|
||
|
|
Yes, you see.
|
||
|
|
This is why you can't leave your colleagues alone, really.
|
||
|
|
Fun fact, listeners, Martin wrote the storybook for the interview, but now he's trying to pull back.
|
||
|
|
If I wrote it, Elon Musk would have been mentioned in the Terminators' second.
|
||
|
|
So, what?
|
||
|
|
You mentioned a few of them, but not him.
|
||
|
|
So, what are your other concerns, Mr. Visor?
|
||
|
|
Yes. Well, the concerns.
|
||
|
|
That was a great episode.
|
||
|
|
Well, the other concern was, do you send me the wrong version in the first place?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I don't know what happened.
|
||
|
|
Giving me another half hour of information, which was well appreciated, but not well.
|
||
|
|
Because I double-checked that you think that what that is on HPR, as well as the soundfiles that I sent to you,
|
||
|
|
and they are the same apart from the music that HPR adds.
|
||
|
|
So, the outtakes are there, and all the rest of them.
|
||
|
|
On the match-off outtakes, yes, most of the episodes would have outtakes after about a 30-second break at the end of the episode.
|
||
|
|
This is just before the outro added by Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
Meaning, if you think our special outro music is the end of the show,
|
||
|
|
you are mistaken. Most of the time, there is their outtakes after this silence break, whatever you want to call it.
|
||
|
|
And if you're missing out on the outtakes, you're missing out on some interesting facts fun stuff, that sort of thing?
|
||
|
|
Yep. As Mr. Visor just found out himself the other day.
|
||
|
|
So, suggestions for you there, perhaps, reduced the amount of silence?
|
||
|
|
We could do this, but on the other side...
|
||
|
|
The dark side?
|
||
|
|
Exactly.
|
||
|
|
Where would be the fun in that?
|
||
|
|
Well, you may lose some listeners that don't have 30 seconds of patience.
|
||
|
|
I see. But I've taken so, yeah, you left kind of down to 29 or 28 seconds.
|
||
|
|
Go forward.
|
||
|
|
Perhaps the editing should be taken over by more sensible people, anyway.
|
||
|
|
Martin, your mother welcome to edit in episode and the future yourself.
|
||
|
|
That's... You know the revenge was mentioned, right?
|
||
|
|
What is that?
|
||
|
|
You tell me more.
|
||
|
|
Perhaps, yeah, you'll find out.
|
||
|
|
For those listeners who haven't listened to the last episode, some companies were indeed made fun of during the interview.
|
||
|
|
And what Martin is referring to is actually his beloved company called NVIDIA, who was slightly slacked off.
|
||
|
|
You'll be...
|
||
|
|
I love it. It's a strong one.
|
||
|
|
That's what I wanted to do.
|
||
|
|
Who was slightly slacked off due to the interview with the Terminator.
|
||
|
|
Apparently some people, and Martin would be the prime example here, do take a hint.
|
||
|
|
Well, I think you found NVIDIA take events as well as sabotaging or recording this morning.
|
||
|
|
I'm there to blame. I see.
|
||
|
|
Entirely possible.
|
||
|
|
It would surprise you, let's split this way, unless you have done something really funky to your GPU card.
|
||
|
|
Because as observant listeners will, of course, know Mr. Vista is now the proud owner of what's the called Artisix 2070 someplace, right?
|
||
|
|
RTX.
|
||
|
|
Whatever the extent for.
|
||
|
|
Perhaps extension.
|
||
|
|
And Martin is neatly to say similar to cars or other items in his possession, pretty proud of this gadget.
|
||
|
|
So neatly to say he was a bit worried.
|
||
|
|
That as a matter of fact.
|
||
|
|
That as a matter of fact NVIDIA was the target of some ridiculous split this way during the recent episodes, where we had the interview with the Terminator.
|
||
|
|
I don't think it would be sponsoring us any time. Let's put it that way.
|
||
|
|
Too bad.
|
||
|
|
We had SkyNet as the sponsor of the last episode. I don't know if you noticed that.
|
||
|
|
But I think that was okay.
|
||
|
|
What did they sponsor us the podcast?
|
||
|
|
You didn't listen to me to the commercial break at the end? No.
|
||
|
|
Yes, I did, but what did they sponsor in actual?
|
||
|
|
Just by being there and.
|
||
|
|
Yes, helping us ensuring that we never run out of challenges all you are not.
|
||
|
|
The importance.
|
||
|
|
That's going to happen somehow.
|
||
|
|
Okay, what have you been up to since we last spoke?
|
||
|
|
Wow.
|
||
|
|
Spoke on the podcast or.
|
||
|
|
We spoke earlier this morning.
|
||
|
|
Wait, we tried to anyway.
|
||
|
|
I'll contact Ember for you to your podcast.
|
||
|
|
A little bit of this morning, very little from setting up the recording.
|
||
|
|
Yes, about to have been up to.
|
||
|
|
Wow.
|
||
|
|
Man, how long has it been?
|
||
|
|
Four weeks, five weeks.
|
||
|
|
Something like that, yeah.
|
||
|
|
So, how have we been up to?
|
||
|
|
Well, we have dealt with certain viruses and a personal disease.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
We have lost one of the.
|
||
|
|
Well, origins of the show in a way with with our indoor passing away.
|
||
|
|
So, yes, maybe we should delegate it to him.
|
||
|
|
How is that?
|
||
|
|
Yes, yes, we're going to.
|
||
|
|
Yes, we're going to dedicate the show to Martin's father who.
|
||
|
|
Father in law, sorry, who just passed away.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that's a good plan.
|
||
|
|
We might consider a future episode on the subject of TTSs.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
In convenience.
|
||
|
|
He was, in fact, a voice researcher himself.
|
||
|
|
So, that fits in quite well.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, that's not subject of today's podcast.
|
||
|
|
So, Chris, what have you been up to in the last four or five weeks?
|
||
|
|
Editing a podcast episode among other things.
|
||
|
|
What else have I ever been up to?
|
||
|
|
Well, the usual genetic and spicy working.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
Trying to set up a big blue button instance because due to current circumstances,
|
||
|
|
now all the all the meetings have shifted to virtual.
|
||
|
|
So, the lack of support, the Linux user group, the local Frankfurt Linux user group,
|
||
|
|
the Fralag.
|
||
|
|
Used to do some.
|
||
|
|
What's what I'm looking for?
|
||
|
|
I'm in person events, a regular meeting called in German called the Stumptish
|
||
|
|
because we are German association.
|
||
|
|
So, yes, Stumptish is very important as in local regular gathering.
|
||
|
|
And of course, we used to run a presentation on the fourth week of Tuesday,
|
||
|
|
on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
|
||
|
|
But because the location where we used to do this has basically shut down for the time being,
|
||
|
|
all these events would have been moved to a virtual environment.
|
||
|
|
And that's exactly where software like big blue button,
|
||
|
|
Jitsy open and open meetings come in.
|
||
|
|
Because that sort of software allows you to like zoom or any other conference software,
|
||
|
|
allows you to gather virtually to present, to share video, to share audio, that sort of thing.
|
||
|
|
And after quite a long research period, let's put it this way,
|
||
|
|
I came to the conclusion that the big blue button as a software is probably the most easyest,
|
||
|
|
the easiest as a matter of fact.
|
||
|
|
So, if I just set up in contrast to Jitsy or open meetings,
|
||
|
|
I've tried these two software packages before,
|
||
|
|
but couldn't get far with it because the setup was so convoluted and so bloody complicated.
|
||
|
|
Big blue button on the other hand, no big blue button is not sponsoring this show, not yet anyway.
|
||
|
|
It's straightforward.
|
||
|
|
It's pretty picky when it comes down to the environment that it would like to run in.
|
||
|
|
It has to be open to 1604.
|
||
|
|
No debutant, no ratat, no center, as it has to be 1604.
|
||
|
|
That's pretty picky.
|
||
|
|
That's pretty important.
|
||
|
|
By the way, listeners, if you have experience with big blue button running on other Ubuntu spins
|
||
|
|
or even debutant, please get in touch.
|
||
|
|
Because quite a few people are just looking for an opportunity to do something else.
|
||
|
|
And I'm not talking about the Docker deployment here.
|
||
|
|
I'm talking about running it natively on a VM or even bare metal.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, to kind of long story short, big blue button comes with a pretty sophisticated setup script
|
||
|
|
that you just give it the fully qualified domain of the server that it's running on.
|
||
|
|
And after that, you also give it an email address for the lesson script certificate and the rest,
|
||
|
|
including downloading all the packages, configuring all the packages.
|
||
|
|
It's pretty much automatic.
|
||
|
|
It takes the existing Ubuntu instance, it downloads the software,
|
||
|
|
it downloads all the dependent packages, including Java.
|
||
|
|
It's quite an elective.
|
||
|
|
It's elective?
|
||
|
|
Is that what I'm going to look for?
|
||
|
|
Elective.
|
||
|
|
Elective?
|
||
|
|
It's early.
|
||
|
|
Electic.
|
||
|
|
Electic.
|
||
|
|
Yes, thank you very much.
|
||
|
|
Electic.
|
||
|
|
Mixture of a software stack.
|
||
|
|
Consisting of Java, Python, Java script for the front end,
|
||
|
|
which is, thank God, HTML5 based.
|
||
|
|
And yeah, downloading all these dependencies is quite an artist task.
|
||
|
|
But the installer script takes pretty much care of this.
|
||
|
|
So at the end of this, and it also installs, for example,
|
||
|
|
it also installs a lesson script certificate.
|
||
|
|
So at the end of the day, you just have a working, big blue button installation
|
||
|
|
out of the box, which you just start.
|
||
|
|
And even for that, there's a command, which you can nicely put in the system D unit.
|
||
|
|
And then you have a working conference system.
|
||
|
|
It's using HTML5 and React on the client side,
|
||
|
|
meaning in contrast to other conference solutions,
|
||
|
|
it works out of the box with the majority of the browsers.
|
||
|
|
I also looked at Jitsi and apparently Jitsi is only happy
|
||
|
|
when it uses Chrome or Chromium for that matter.
|
||
|
|
If you go near it with Firefox apparently, it doesn't like it.
|
||
|
|
At least that's my feedback after a good long weekend of trying,
|
||
|
|
of trying out Jitsi.
|
||
|
|
Okay, good stuff.
|
||
|
|
So this is a server-based setup.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
As I said, it requires a 604 instance.
|
||
|
|
If you have people behind NATs at home, as in kind of,
|
||
|
|
as all firewalls, or even if the server is behind a NAT,
|
||
|
|
you need something called a turn server,
|
||
|
|
which essentially is a relay for certain UDP connections.
|
||
|
|
That's an additional component that you have to install,
|
||
|
|
the big blue button website contains detailed instructions
|
||
|
|
on how to set this up, but also the install script can help you there.
|
||
|
|
For those of you, as I said, who don't know,
|
||
|
|
a turn server is essentially a relay that picks up information
|
||
|
|
from you if you're behind a firewall and then takes care
|
||
|
|
of the proper routing and setting up of mostly UDP ports,
|
||
|
|
because firewalls and general netting equipment
|
||
|
|
can be quite fickle here.
|
||
|
|
Excellent.
|
||
|
|
So this is mainly used for your user group.
|
||
|
|
We just set it up basically for the time being,
|
||
|
|
because if we can't meet in person,
|
||
|
|
needless to say, we don't want to kind of postpone this whole
|
||
|
|
get together, virtual or not.
|
||
|
|
So that is the reason why we decided,
|
||
|
|
or why I decided, eventually to set up a server instance
|
||
|
|
for both the presentation as well as the regular gathering
|
||
|
|
called the stunters, the local meeting, the regular meeting.
|
||
|
|
That gives people who normally then would then meet in person
|
||
|
|
a chance to gather in front of their computers.
|
||
|
|
Some people did it in the garden when we did the first trial run,
|
||
|
|
but it worked out quite nicely.
|
||
|
|
People were dialing it with 3G connections,
|
||
|
|
even that was quite okay from a bit of a quality perspective.
|
||
|
|
Sounds good.
|
||
|
|
It's just a bit heavy on the client side,
|
||
|
|
because if you have 10 concurrent video streams
|
||
|
|
that will take a good chunk of your CPU power.
|
||
|
|
The codex apparently are deptive, as I said,
|
||
|
|
they are HTML file space.
|
||
|
|
So whatever tweaking you can do on the client side,
|
||
|
|
in terms of GPU acceleration, for example,
|
||
|
|
from a browser perspective, you should probably take a look at this,
|
||
|
|
because as I said, otherwise it's going to be dead in software,
|
||
|
|
and that will take a way quite a bit of CPU bandwidth.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I guess on the running of the mobile,
|
||
|
|
you're not going to see 10 sweetens very easily.
|
||
|
|
Well, as a matter of fact, some people actually use mobile phones.
|
||
|
|
Most of them were using Firefox on Android.
|
||
|
|
It checked out the video quality was, of course, wasn't great,
|
||
|
|
but the adaptive codex did a good job there.
|
||
|
|
So, yeah, I'm giving the bandwidth restrictions
|
||
|
|
plus the limited CPU power.
|
||
|
|
I think, yeah, for that, it was okay with regards to overall quality and perception.
|
||
|
|
Well, it's just not quite a professional recording required for something like this.
|
||
|
|
It's more like, you know, just talking to each other.
|
||
|
|
That's exactly it.
|
||
|
|
I mean, we didn't record any of the sessions.
|
||
|
|
We may do this going forward for the presentation,
|
||
|
|
but my hope, at least, is that the current restrictions will be lifted at some stage,
|
||
|
|
and we would be back to the pub,
|
||
|
|
where we normally have the regular gathering,
|
||
|
|
as well as the city of Frankfurt is sponsoring us with regards to the location
|
||
|
|
of the presentation we're doing once a month.
|
||
|
|
And this particular company that runs these locations,
|
||
|
|
especially just got an attention set.
|
||
|
|
Now, look, we don't expect anything to take place in May,
|
||
|
|
but we're going to reassess the situation before the month is over.
|
||
|
|
So, maybe we can open up in June back again,
|
||
|
|
so that would allow us to have at least one regular gathering before the summer break.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, so I think you guys have quite advanced in terms of opening back up at the sound of it.
|
||
|
|
So, that sounds quite like the hood remains to be seen.
|
||
|
|
It's the Mayhem.
|
||
|
|
We're recording this on the, what is it?
|
||
|
|
Eight of May?
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
So, about 75 years after the end of World War II, I think, in Europe,
|
||
|
|
or something?
|
||
|
|
I don't know.
|
||
|
|
I was just today.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
It's awesome.
|
||
|
|
Martin, Martin, you probably wore a round.
|
||
|
|
I wasn't so.
|
||
|
|
Well, we have, of course, a bank holiday today.
|
||
|
|
Is that the same for you, sir?
|
||
|
|
No, no, no.
|
||
|
|
Only in Berlin, as a matter of fact.
|
||
|
|
So, the other Martin, and for all those of our listeners who don't work, I dread it sometimes.
|
||
|
|
The other Martin is just a German colleague in Berlin, and he won't be working today.
|
||
|
|
Good stuff.
|
||
|
|
So, onto today's episode.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
Now, this is the point in time, basically, where Martin is being assessed on if he is done his homework.
|
||
|
|
Homework being listening to your recording.
|
||
|
|
What's that?
|
||
|
|
What's the more?
|
||
|
|
Yes, there was more.
|
||
|
|
Martin, that's the matter of fact.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
And short recap.
|
||
|
|
Last episode.
|
||
|
|
And this is the second part of a two-part episode.
|
||
|
|
Well, two-part episodes.
|
||
|
|
That's what I'm going to go for.
|
||
|
|
It's early.
|
||
|
|
Two-part show, anyway.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely.
|
||
|
|
Exactly.
|
||
|
|
How to set up your own porn website, or other animals, or other content oriented with regards
|
||
|
|
to streaming video and recording video.
|
||
|
|
And, of course, audio associated audio information.
|
||
|
|
And part one, for those of you who want to go back, listen to the previous episode.
|
||
|
|
Part one covered the basics with regards to the theory of what compressed audio and video streams are.
|
||
|
|
And we said, or rather, I said, that the second part would contain a selection of tools you would use for that sort of thing.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
So selection of tools.
|
||
|
|
Are we speaking here from personal experience tool wise?
|
||
|
|
Well, what tools are there?
|
||
|
|
The main categories that come to mind would consist of...
|
||
|
|
I guess.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
You got to first decide whether you could do live or edit it.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
And notice some extent.
|
||
|
|
Because regardless of whether you want to do clips or whether you want to do live streaming, something has to capture, for example, the video data stream.
|
||
|
|
And then basically you have to decide on if you want to do just a recording, which you then can edit, and play back on your website.
|
||
|
|
Or whether this is stream live using, for example, WebRTC.
|
||
|
|
Like, for example, the big pool button, does it?
|
||
|
|
But from the software side, there are options there to use these things for you, right?
|
||
|
|
Like, OBS, you can just hook in straight into YouTube or whatever it is you want to broadcast on.
|
||
|
|
Yes, smart.
|
||
|
|
Why don't you tell us a little bit more about OBS while we are on the subject?
|
||
|
|
OBS.
|
||
|
|
What is this time for Chris?
|
||
|
|
Open broadcast system, I think.
|
||
|
|
Excellent.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Oh, what do we have?
|
||
|
|
This testing.
|
||
|
|
So, one thing I observed with investigating this stuff, most of it seems to be built with Qt or Qt or however you pronounce it.
|
||
|
|
As a front end, there are obviously a mixture of tools that have a command line or other interfaces.
|
||
|
|
But OBS is one of those quite fancy GUI based software.
|
||
|
|
It runs on many different distributions, even on Windows and Mac.
|
||
|
|
But it is obviously free and OSS.
|
||
|
|
And it allows you to, as I mentioned, pick up your recording streams and directly broadcast them to a target of choice.
|
||
|
|
The beauty with OBS is of course that it can integrate many in inputs and outputs.
|
||
|
|
For example, there is something called video for Linux, which essentially is the basic interface on a Linux system where video is basically captured.
|
||
|
|
Most of the time, this would be a sort of user library that goes out to a video capturing device like a webcam, like an ordinary camera.
|
||
|
|
And that's the wrong thing.
|
||
|
|
And just maybe even a satellite adapter that basically takes a satellite feed, which is a multiplex data stream in itself.
|
||
|
|
And simply basically captures this and then forwards that to OBS.
|
||
|
|
So OBS has a number of plugins allowing it to integrate with pretty much anything under the sun.
|
||
|
|
This is the beauty about OBS.
|
||
|
|
And this is also the reason why it's widely used, not only in the broadcasting, not only in the broadcasting world.
|
||
|
|
Yep, and now it is the Tuesday standard libraries, isn't it really so.
|
||
|
|
Which gives you, yeah, all those options, that LibAvy, codec and etc. I give you.
|
||
|
|
A lot of you, you can pretty much use it with anything, right?
|
||
|
|
This is the beauty about it exactly because it also supports web RTC, which as I explained in the last episode is the new kit on the block when it comes down to streaming video.
|
||
|
|
In case you listen to the episode, what's the other one?
|
||
|
|
The other one of the older brother of WebRTC.
|
||
|
|
Good question.
|
||
|
|
I think I put Martin on the web RTC.
|
||
|
|
No, it's called Retime, it's called Retime messaging protocol, RTMP.
|
||
|
|
Yes, of course, that was before WebRTC.
|
||
|
|
Exactly, and the beauty about WebRTC is it's in your,
|
||
|
|
and it's also, it features things like encryption and so forth.
|
||
|
|
The backside is actually that it only works with TCP, so for real.
|
||
|
|
Why would you want to encrypt this?
|
||
|
|
Because it's quite straightforward.
|
||
|
|
In case you have a, you have a listenership that has paid money to in order to watch your content.
|
||
|
|
Needless to say, if you don't encrypt this, people, anybody will be able to get this, to get this, to get this data stream, which is not encrypted.
|
||
|
|
Sure, sure.
|
||
|
|
I was thinking most people would plug into YouTube or Twitch or any of those modern, youngster, hipster.
|
||
|
|
People are raising about Twitch. What exactly is Twitch?
|
||
|
|
It's mainly used by gamers, right, to broadcast their, whatever games they play and broadcast at the same time so that they can entertain their listener viewers.
|
||
|
|
So like, pretty much like, what's the other one called Discord?
|
||
|
|
Discord is voice.
|
||
|
|
I thought it was aimed at gamers too.
|
||
|
|
Yes, but it's many voices.
|
||
|
|
And Twitch is also video.
|
||
|
|
Yes, yes, yes.
|
||
|
|
I've never used it, but a colleague of ours named Loris Crowe, Loris, if you're listening.
|
||
|
|
Uh-huh.
|
||
|
|
I didn't know he was into porn production.
|
||
|
|
No, no, no, he's not.
|
||
|
|
I don't know where Martin picks this up from, but I didn't tell him that he was into porn production.
|
||
|
|
I didn't tell Martin that Loris is into porn, no.
|
||
|
|
That doesn't come from me.
|
||
|
|
Okay, and Loris uses this basically to do live programming, I think, because he mentioned Twitch a number of times.
|
||
|
|
So people must use it for live coding sessions too.
|
||
|
|
As we've seen with OBS, you can plug in any data sources, many data sources, video audio,
|
||
|
|
streamed us to, you know, the other YouTube's, the Twitch's, the Instagram's, whatever your platform of choice is.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, this is the beauty of a comprehensive plugin system.
|
||
|
|
What other tools come to mind, especially if we're talking about cutting video, right?
|
||
|
|
There's something called a KD and live around, which is one of the older video editors.
|
||
|
|
Of course, it's used mostly in the area of recorded video data streaming, but it's also pretty good at multiplexing.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
And of course, there's still the old reliables around.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
Which ones do you use?
|
||
|
|
Me, myself, mostly FMPAC.
|
||
|
|
Being the income online.
|
||
|
|
Of course.
|
||
|
|
But it needs to say, FMPAC, these Swiss army knives.
|
||
|
|
But then you're looking at, yeah, converting one to the other words with a KD and live, you'd be, well, doing video editing, right?
|
||
|
|
And cutting frames.
|
||
|
|
Correct, yeah.
|
||
|
|
Same as you do with Audacity with audio.
|
||
|
|
Our beloved Audacity, Martin, why don't you spend some sentences on our favorite audio too?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's great when it works.
|
||
|
|
But that we, if some of Audacity in one sentence, that's it.
|
||
|
|
The beauty is that it does run on multiple platforms, giving you the option to swap when this.
|
||
|
|
If we just want on this morning, yes.
|
||
|
|
Maybe we should do some tests in the evening before not have to do this at 6am.
|
||
|
|
But as usual, we have backup plans, so we're fine.
|
||
|
|
Audacity, yeah, I think it's one of the oldest and graphical audio editors around.
|
||
|
|
As Martin pointed out, it runs on Windows, Linux, as well as macOS.
|
||
|
|
We're just recording this on Macs.
|
||
|
|
It's so full-blown audio studio as such.
|
||
|
|
It's rather an editor.
|
||
|
|
Yes, you can mix multi-protection or the rest of it.
|
||
|
|
It supports a host of features.
|
||
|
|
It can be scripted.
|
||
|
|
It has lots of effects.
|
||
|
|
As a matter of fact, all the editing for Linux and laws is done with Audacity, especially the post-production.
|
||
|
|
But it's not comparable to kind of real, multi-track studio software, the likes of Steinberg and so forth,
|
||
|
|
or even the other, because these tools would be more professional, like a full-blown audio workstation.
|
||
|
|
But in the open source space.
|
||
|
|
Yes, this is what Audacity is not.
|
||
|
|
But it's quite handy. It's quite successful, but it's quite easy to operate.
|
||
|
|
And it's been around for ages, so we are used to, I think we use, at the moment, we use 2.3.3.
|
||
|
|
That came with the latest focal fossa update for those of you who run Ubuntu.
|
||
|
|
But it's also available in that version for, of course, OSX as well as Windows.
|
||
|
|
Fun fact here on OSX1050, which is Catalina.
|
||
|
|
There's a workaround because Audacity doesn't work with core audio out of the box.
|
||
|
|
First of all, you have to enable audio recording in the OSX settings as usual.
|
||
|
|
Thanks to Apple's security obsession, let's put it this way.
|
||
|
|
And then, apparently, there's a buck with the interfacing between core audio,
|
||
|
|
which is the audio subsystem on OSX as well as Audacity, meaning you have to start from a terminal.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, you won't be able to record audio, so I'm told anyway.
|
||
|
|
So, the approach is open terminal windows, say open, and then the full path to Audacity,
|
||
|
|
which is normally, I think, library slash Audacity, something like that.
|
||
|
|
I'm going to put a link into the show notes for this workaround, so you can check it out.
|
||
|
|
But doing this from Spotlight, or any other GUI-based approach to start the program on OSX won't,
|
||
|
|
you won't be able to do to record audio, so I'm told anyway.
|
||
|
|
Oh, Catalina, right.
|
||
|
|
On Catalina, and I think the previous version, which was El Capitan or something?
|
||
|
|
No.
|
||
|
|
Oh, sorry, Mojave, not El Capitan.
|
||
|
|
El Capitan came before that, I think.
|
||
|
|
I'm not the greatest person for as X releases, I just used the software
|
||
|
|
and struggled with the issues that Apple throws at me.
|
||
|
|
Something people use our fruit company for its usability, first and foremost.
|
||
|
|
Fooled.
|
||
|
|
Well, I mean, you have to start somewhere, and you can always switch over to a full-done open-source system
|
||
|
|
like Linux or something, or BSD.
|
||
|
|
Well, in fact, as a matter of fact, not that many people know this, but at the very core,
|
||
|
|
OSX is a free BSD.
|
||
|
|
Because the white works.
|
||
|
|
Okay, this goes back in history.
|
||
|
|
Steve Jobs had just left Apple.
|
||
|
|
I think that was mid-80s, and decided to set up next, was looking for an operating system.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
And came across something called Open Step.
|
||
|
|
No, Open Step basically consists of a very fancy GUI, plus a BSD underneath.
|
||
|
|
And at the time, he basically convinced us to put it this way.
|
||
|
|
Many Mark, people Mark was a Marko-Colonel around that time to join next step.
|
||
|
|
And so next to us was born.
|
||
|
|
Of course, when Apple acquired next step, what's called next step, but next.
|
||
|
|
Next to us?
|
||
|
|
No, the company basically.
|
||
|
|
When Apple acquired that Steve Jobs outfit, and one of the assets, of course, was next to us.
|
||
|
|
So at the very core, next to us consists of a Marko-Colonel internship of Mark III,
|
||
|
|
and then on top of that, a free BSD personality.
|
||
|
|
Pretty much from an architecture perspective, pretty much comparable to something called Windows New Technology.
|
||
|
|
Invented by a company called Microsoft, I think, about 30 years ago, something like this.
|
||
|
|
I mean, they all work the same.
|
||
|
|
You have a Marko-Colonel that abstracts away the hardware, the hardware layers.
|
||
|
|
On top of that, Marko-Colonel, you have something called a personality.
|
||
|
|
In Windows New Technology, for example, that's a post-expersonality that implements
|
||
|
|
much of the functionality of a given Windows system.
|
||
|
|
And on top of these personalities, you have proprietary GUIs.
|
||
|
|
And when Apple bought next computing, next whatever, they, of course, also bought the asset,
|
||
|
|
and they decided to make next OS their basis for anything Marko-S-related going forward.
|
||
|
|
So next OS became Marko-S, and this is basically that was the basis for something called OSX,
|
||
|
|
a Mac OS version 10, which all of which subsequent Mac OS releases have been based.
|
||
|
|
So if you open up your Mac, essentially you're using a BSD system underneath,
|
||
|
|
you can still see it if you take a look at two very popular package managers called MacPorts or HomeBrew.
|
||
|
|
Because essentially these, these package managers are based on something called Ports,
|
||
|
|
which is a native packaging system for BSD spends, and there you have it.
|
||
|
|
So essentially, at the very core, Apple is still open-source software.
|
||
|
|
Nice, nice.
|
||
|
|
And that kind of nicely leads into the news.
|
||
|
|
As in, as soon as you heard the news that, the news that Windows has been dropping,
|
||
|
|
it's, you mean the usage has dropped with an increase in Ubuntu in the last couple months?
|
||
|
|
I know, I didn't know that.
|
||
|
|
But, shouldn't we conclude the two section first?
|
||
|
|
We can do it. Sorry, Clan.
|
||
|
|
I thought you was thinking to say,
|
||
|
|
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
|
||
|
|
I guess, okay.
|
||
|
|
What else is there? What else is there to cover?
|
||
|
|
to cover and we already covered the open broadcasting system. We also covered video editors,
|
||
|
|
we kind of order all your editors. Why don't you tell us a little bit about Blender Martin?
|
||
|
|
Blender. Blender, yeah. Nice, nice bit of software, but not for the faint hearted,
|
||
|
|
I suggest. If you have much spare time and like to produce your own animated movies,
|
||
|
|
then Blender is for you. I mean, it don't get me wrong, it's a great piece of software and
|
||
|
|
a lot of commercial companies are switching over to it. In fact, I saw it being used in one of our
|
||
|
|
customers, but yeah, so. Nice. Yes, yeah, I mean, you would, if you were to use this properly,
|
||
|
|
you need a proper graphical tablet right to the drawing and stuff like that, because you're not
|
||
|
|
going to draw wireframes with a mouse, unless you have much, many hours of patience. Yeah, if
|
||
|
|
if you do want to go into releasing your own movies animated, you can get some very, very
|
||
|
|
impressive results with that, but it has a very steep learning curve to get started,
|
||
|
|
is in many hours of practice. It's probably one of the most powerful tools I know out there to produce
|
||
|
|
animated video sequences. If you go to the Blender website, they have a couple of beautifully done
|
||
|
|
movies, like to make money and so forth, or tears of steel. And if you take a clue, of course,
|
||
|
|
you can get them also on YouTube, don't get wrong, just Google for them, or sorry, use your
|
||
|
|
search engine off-choice, just put it this way, because Google is not sponsoring us yet, so why
|
||
|
|
should we even mention them? Anyway, Google, why did you mention it? What's going on here?
|
||
|
|
Google, Google over to the dark side, man. Google, if you are listening, if you want to sponsor us,
|
||
|
|
please do get in touch. And the value of that is, oh, uh, big available, the train model for
|
||
|
|
Takatron, too. Yes, but that is a far future episode, yes, please Google, you get in touch.
|
||
|
|
Okay, I'll go back to Blender. Okay, yes, the beauty about Blender is essentially, it's a full
|
||
|
|
set of tools at your disposal to do full length movies, so Martin has just pointed out the wireframe
|
||
|
|
so essentially you give the wireframe and Blender then, based on the modeling aspects of that wireframe,
|
||
|
|
does all of the animation for you? Well, it does teach you to do the older 3D mapping,
|
||
|
|
you know, movie cameras around, to get your shading right, your lighting, it does,
|
||
|
|
does kind of things for you right, so you don't have to take care of those aspects.
|
||
|
|
That's, and that's exactly it. These movies on the website have one watch for a reason,
|
||
|
|
but that of course requires a pretty powerful machine, so do a core, ancient piece of hot,
|
||
|
|
we probably won't do the trick, plus you want to have a decent GPU at your disposal as well.
|
||
|
|
Don't mention GPUs again. Right.
|
||
|
|
That also have a, um, some kind of cloud subscription where you can
|
||
|
|
learn, uh, and get tips on a regular basis as well as, you know, do some of the movies that
|
||
|
|
Chris mentioned, you can get the components of these movies to play around with yourself,
|
||
|
|
so that's absolutely way to get started. Because as you can imagine, I mean, doing all the
|
||
|
|
calculations to, for example, to construct a full-blown figure from a wireframe that takes a lot
|
||
|
|
of, that takes a lot of computing power, and normally what you would do, yes, you would,
|
||
|
|
so you would use server farms for rendering your movies. Pretty much like the big studios do it
|
||
|
|
because this is basically how it's done. Uh, where were we? So the news? The news. Yes,
|
||
|
|
Mark was talking about the ancient operating system called Windows. A light mouse, Mr. Viser.
|
||
|
|
I was nothing wrong with all things, is there? I mean, surely, uh, Linux has some very old origins
|
||
|
|
as well, as we just discussed. But, um, that is a reason that announcement,
|
||
|
|
oh, is someone that sums a research that, um, was a drop-in Windows usage, and
|
||
|
|
we've been to you had quite a significant take-up in the last couple of months, so
|
||
|
|
details will be in the show now, I hope. Well, in short, it was like an increase of 600 percent
|
||
|
|
or something online, you've been to, but having it's very small market share means that, um,
|
||
|
|
under that drop? Indeed. Okay.
|
||
|
|
There, you know, going from a, like, uh, half a percent to 1 percent is quite,
|
||
|
|
it doesn't make up much market share, but it's a big increase, right? So
|
||
|
|
probably partly fueled by myself installing you've been two percent.
|
||
|
|
So, so Mr. Viser is now the cause for something called the year of the Linux desktop?
|
||
|
|
Oh, what did I push it into?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's probably pushing it a little bit. Okay, uh, you could also be, because people
|
||
|
|
have more time, right? So they digging at that old hardware and thinking, oh, what the hell
|
||
|
|
shall we put on that? Let's give this you've been to nonsense. It's been,
|
||
|
|
um, of course, probably finding that Windows will run on it anymore.
|
||
|
|
Well, it's a little known fact, but Ubuntu was the first district from a completely mistake
|
||
|
|
and that was running on something called WSL 1.0 and all of the other users, yes, it's 2.0
|
||
|
|
these days, but there was a Windows subsystem for Linux version 1.0 and the user land of choice
|
||
|
|
that came with it was actually Ubuntu. Okay, so I did listen to this episode, but
|
||
|
|
but if did you explain why people would run Linux on Windows? Why wouldn't they?
|
||
|
|
Because in that case, why wouldn't they just run Linux by itself?
|
||
|
|
Maybe they they have to use Windows for other reasons. Maybe they're maybe they're,
|
||
|
|
maybe their tech software hasn't been ported to Linux yet or something, I don't know.
|
||
|
|
So, yes, there are still relying on Windows softwares out there.
|
||
|
|
So, yes, you can use that bootloader to run ancient proprietary software as well,
|
||
|
|
but the main purpose, of course, for the for Windows powering WSL is of course to act as a
|
||
|
|
bootloader to boot you into Linux, but if you don't use Windows anymore, you simply can do away
|
||
|
|
with WSL and simply install Linux natively on your machine. So, anyone who's you have
|
||
|
|
Yes, what have I got to do? What's the name of the company? I can't remember, it's not
|
||
|
|
Ernst, it's not Ernst and Young, or is it? What news are we talking about?
|
||
|
|
There was something in the news yesterday. Accenture? No, sorry, yes, PWC,
|
||
|
|
private water house. Yes, have you read about this?
|
||
|
|
No, what happens? Some subdomain was used to promote smart website.
|
||
|
|
As an adult content. So, the security needs some advice.
|
||
|
|
And fun fact, actually, PWC, if I'm not completely mistaken, do have their own IT security
|
||
|
|
line of business, including forensics, I might add. Chaps, well done.
|
||
|
|
Yes, good job, well done. You see, if you need some tips, go into it.
|
||
|
|
Exactly. If you're even if you're looking for even more professional advice, yes, people get
|
||
|
|
no, what happens? I took a long story short, you can read it in your favorite media outlet.
|
||
|
|
Some people manage to register a subdomain on the overall PWC top level domain, in terms of,
|
||
|
|
I think it's called pwc.com or something like this. And manage then to register the subdomain
|
||
|
|
and then put, let's put it this way, material promoting dubious content on that subdomain.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, this subdomain was linked from PWC and other websites quite a lot.
|
||
|
|
So, it featured actually on something called a search engine. So, using your search engine,
|
||
|
|
you were able to get to these adult content promoting websites, including, of course, the content
|
||
|
|
that a search engine was able to capture using, what's, what are they called? That's scrabblers, but
|
||
|
|
what's what I'm looking for Martin? Suffer that goes out and scrapes websites, yes.
|
||
|
|
Okay, sorry. Crawlers, that's what I'm looking for. Yes, yes. So, what crawlers do, yes, crawlers
|
||
|
|
basically go out to websites, capture the essence of a website and then start this as part of
|
||
|
|
a search engine algorithm. And so, basically typing in your keywords, you would be able to see
|
||
|
|
the content of these websites as part of your search engine result page. Needless to say,
|
||
|
|
this is blatant amateur stuff because done properly, you would be in possession of not only
|
||
|
|
emails from customers, but much more because what prevents you from putting up, say, a login page
|
||
|
|
for a particular amount of business as part of PWC? Okay, the way to do it, you capture that
|
||
|
|
top domain, you put up a website that looks exactly like some sort of line of business related
|
||
|
|
or basically being a subsidiary of PWC. And then you start with emails, maybe compromising PWC
|
||
|
|
or you don't have to do that better. You just do a web search of companies using PWC. You
|
||
|
|
capture some of the email addresses, you send phishing emails to these addresses and say, no, look,
|
||
|
|
we need to verify your account data. Here's the URL to do this. And then you have the logins
|
||
|
|
of these PWC customers right at your disposal. And then the rest is essentially compromising
|
||
|
|
or further taking a look at what PWC has to offer internally. Just promoting other websites,
|
||
|
|
this is the last opportunity guys. Next time do it properly. PWC are not really in the direct
|
||
|
|
consumer business, but yeah, it's a nice theory. So on this subject, how come the subdomain was
|
||
|
|
available? Because PWC was really, really, really in deep sleep. So that's what we're
|
||
|
|
going for as in really sleeping, as in not paying attention at all. Because the subdomain's
|
||
|
|
expired, somebody noticed this and simply registered the subdomains for them. So they were able
|
||
|
|
to capture traffic related to that subdomain. And of course, some blame has to go to the register
|
||
|
|
in that case because they weren't paying attention either. Or maybe just somebody elegantly
|
||
|
|
faked a PWC association. But as I said, an opportunity lost because you couldn't have done
|
||
|
|
so much more with the subdomains. Apart from promoting other content and stuff.
|
||
|
|
As you challenge, find the next one. Kids, this is highly illegal. This attempt wasn't done
|
||
|
|
by trying professionals apparently. Don't do this at home. If people catch you, you can't
|
||
|
|
not argue that it's illegal, right? Because you're registering a domain that's available.
|
||
|
|
So how is that illegal? No, because I think there's legislation in place for this.
|
||
|
|
Because if you own an overall top level domain, people cannot simply register sublevel domains.
|
||
|
|
Because essentially, you own the top level domain. So at least you have the first bias,
|
||
|
|
right? If not more. So at least what the register could have done, double check back with PWC,
|
||
|
|
if this is legit or not. At that stage, alarm bells should have been ringing at PWC that there
|
||
|
|
was something shady going on. All everybody apparently was in that week long nap, not paying attention.
|
||
|
|
Got to open their email here. As a set kid, don't try this at home. This is legal.
|
||
|
|
Can go to jail for this. Unless you do it properly, to do it as a security research.
|
||
|
|
Or you do it properly, yes.
|
||
|
|
Do we want to do a sketch mod? We may want to do a sketch.
|
||
|
|
What's the other subject that we normally have?
|
||
|
|
section section. Yes, listen to feedback when we can do this after the sketch, right?
|
||
|
|
So let's take a look at our picks of the week.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, we can do that after the feedback. No? Yes, maybe?
|
||
|
|
A feedback. Okay. Feedback. Go for the feedback.
|
||
|
|
Let's do the sketch first. Take a short break while the sketch is being written.
|
||
|
|
Short break. You can plan more coffee requirements.
|
||
|
|
Yes, and then reconvene later.
|
||
|
|
The Donald and the Chinese virus.
|
||
|
|
This is the dog side tick support. How may I help you?
|
||
|
|
This is Donald, the chosen one, president of the free world.
|
||
|
|
Somebody has to do it, but my IQ is the highest.
|
||
|
|
And you all know it. Please don't feel stupid or insecure.
|
||
|
|
It's not your fault. I'll try my hardest not to.
|
||
|
|
How can I possibly help you? And what is this it you have to do?
|
||
|
|
Why are we having all these viruses from shithole countries coming here?
|
||
|
|
Any particular virus you have in mind here?
|
||
|
|
O leader of the free world. Zeus, clop, cyborg, Melissa, I love you.
|
||
|
|
Of course you love me. My fingers are long and beautiful
|
||
|
|
as it has always been well documented and various other parts of my body.
|
||
|
|
So join the queue of people loving me.
|
||
|
|
And it's not Melissa, it's Melania. She loves me too, of course.
|
||
|
|
Everybody loves me.
|
||
|
|
Oh no, no. Melissa and I love you.
|
||
|
|
Are the names of viruses, man.
|
||
|
|
What? There's more than one of these viruses coming from that infected country?
|
||
|
|
The Chinese did this, but it's fine.
|
||
|
|
I declare war on it and medical war. We have to win this war.
|
||
|
|
It's very important and I'm the greatest wartime president ever lived.
|
||
|
|
I see. You're referring to COVID-19, not a computer virus.
|
||
|
|
I hope you've washed your hands before calling in.
|
||
|
|
Yes, the Chinese virus. I tell you it comes from China.
|
||
|
|
I might build a wall.
|
||
|
|
Walls are great for keeping things out.
|
||
|
|
The world needs more walls built by people like me.
|
||
|
|
My hands are fine. They are great hands.
|
||
|
|
I tell you if people didn't shake hands so much, this wouldn't have happened.
|
||
|
|
I tell you all, don't shake hands.
|
||
|
|
The concept of shaking hands is absolutely horrible.
|
||
|
|
And statistically, I have been proven right.
|
||
|
|
We have an expert in medicine.
|
||
|
|
So what's the treatment for COVID-19 then?
|
||
|
|
We have an anti-malarial drug, chloroquine, which is a possible treatment.
|
||
|
|
It may work. It may not work.
|
||
|
|
I feel good about it. It's just a feeling.
|
||
|
|
I'm a smart guy. We have nothing to lose.
|
||
|
|
You know the expression, what the hell do I have to lose?
|
||
|
|
You're not in any way making money of this drug.
|
||
|
|
I say not in a braggadocious way.
|
||
|
|
I've made millions and billions of dollars
|
||
|
|
screwing people all around the world, but not from drugs.
|
||
|
|
You know a lot about drugs, it seems.
|
||
|
|
Is there any limits to your knowledge on this subject?
|
||
|
|
Limit?
|
||
|
|
The House of Representatives tried to limit my war with Iran.
|
||
|
|
I'll come back on that later.
|
||
|
|
Let me tell you some more about drugs.
|
||
|
|
Viagra is a drug. I think Viagra is wonderful.
|
||
|
|
If you need it, if you have medical issues, if you had a surgery,
|
||
|
|
I've just never needed it.
|
||
|
|
Frankly, I wouldn't mind if there were any anti-viagra,
|
||
|
|
something with the opposite effect.
|
||
|
|
I'm not bragging. I'm just lucky.
|
||
|
|
I don't need it.
|
||
|
|
I see.
|
||
|
|
So what would you say to the American people?
|
||
|
|
We're all worried right now and who are scared of COVID-19.
|
||
|
|
I say you're a terrible guy.
|
||
|
|
That's what I say.
|
||
|
|
I think it's a very nasty question and I think it's a very bad signal
|
||
|
|
that to be putting out to the American people.
|
||
|
|
The American people are not scared.
|
||
|
|
We have guns, many guns, and we are not afraid to use them
|
||
|
|
as prescribed by our constitution.
|
||
|
|
OK, let's change the subject quickly.
|
||
|
|
This is actually tech support.
|
||
|
|
So going back to the question at hand,
|
||
|
|
you did not call about a computer virus?
|
||
|
|
Why would I call you about computers?
|
||
|
|
I know tech better than anyone.
|
||
|
|
Not reasonable well, not even very well or extremely well,
|
||
|
|
but better than any person.
|
||
|
|
Excellent.
|
||
|
|
So this is all you are building.
|
||
|
|
Would that be a firewall?
|
||
|
|
Fire, wind, rain, Chinese,
|
||
|
|
Mexicans, viruses?
|
||
|
|
Waltz are great for keeping things out.
|
||
|
|
The fact is there is nothing else that will work
|
||
|
|
and that has been true for thousands of years.
|
||
|
|
It's like the wheel.
|
||
|
|
There's nothing better.
|
||
|
|
Probably designed and built,
|
||
|
|
Waltz work.
|
||
|
|
And the Democrats are lying when they say they don't.
|
||
|
|
It looks like I can learn something from you, a great one.
|
||
|
|
So let me ask you something.
|
||
|
|
If you were to secure your computer,
|
||
|
|
would you use
|
||
|
|
UFW,
|
||
|
|
IPCOP,
|
||
|
|
or IPTables?
|
||
|
|
You know what I say about tables.
|
||
|
|
Don't you need to meet me please.
|
||
|
|
Ain't no you is having a table without some chairs.
|
||
|
|
Very true indeed, and might I add hilarious.
|
||
|
|
So while I'm here,
|
||
|
|
do you need any help with the ports on your firewall?
|
||
|
|
People ask me this all the time.
|
||
|
|
You build a wall.
|
||
|
|
What about the C and the ports?
|
||
|
|
Let me tell you this.
|
||
|
|
American ports are the greatest.
|
||
|
|
We love America.
|
||
|
|
We love American ports.
|
||
|
|
Why would I need help with my ports?
|
||
|
|
You might want to open them for certain services
|
||
|
|
or close them to prevent attacks.
|
||
|
|
Open ports may pose a security risk
|
||
|
|
as each open port can be used by attackers
|
||
|
|
to exploit vulnerability
|
||
|
|
or perform any other type of attack.
|
||
|
|
You're telling me our ports are under attack?
|
||
|
|
I'm glad I called you.
|
||
|
|
We defend everybody and I mean everybody.
|
||
|
|
We defend everybody.
|
||
|
|
No matter who it is, we defend everybody.
|
||
|
|
We're defending the world.
|
||
|
|
You are a tech support guy, right?
|
||
|
|
So tell me this.
|
||
|
|
We have a five billion dollar healthcare.gov website.
|
||
|
|
I have so many websites.
|
||
|
|
I have them all over the place.
|
||
|
|
I hire people.
|
||
|
|
It costs me three dollars.
|
||
|
|
Why does it cost five billion dollars?
|
||
|
|
Five billion?
|
||
|
|
Have you considered the possibility
|
||
|
|
that you are exploiting people
|
||
|
|
and not paying them enough?
|
||
|
|
And five billion is the true amount
|
||
|
|
to be paying market rate stuff?
|
||
|
|
Anything else I can do for you?
|
||
|
|
Perhaps some help to reduce your ego?
|
||
|
|
Show me someone with no ego
|
||
|
|
and I'll show you a big loser.
|
||
|
|
I see.
|
||
|
|
In that case, thank you and goodbye.
|
||
|
|
15 minutes later.
|
||
|
|
This is Dr. Tech Support.
|
||
|
|
How may I help you?
|
||
|
|
This is Donald again.
|
||
|
|
Would that be Donald Duck?
|
||
|
|
Hi, I'm the Disney cartoon.
|
||
|
|
Donald engine number nine from Thomas the Tank Engine
|
||
|
|
or Donald Silt, the famous Estonian gentleman and thrower.
|
||
|
|
My name is Trump.
|
||
|
|
Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States of America
|
||
|
|
and mega successful businessman.
|
||
|
|
We spoke earlier.
|
||
|
|
You were impressed then.
|
||
|
|
Yes, I vaguely recall some nutter earlier.
|
||
|
|
What can I do for you this time?
|
||
|
|
I am many things, billionaire, leader of the free world.
|
||
|
|
The best wartime president ever.
|
||
|
|
God's gift to women.
|
||
|
|
But as I said, an expert.
|
||
|
|
But only a nutter by the simple mind it.
|
||
|
|
Anyhow, I need some more advice on Corona.
|
||
|
|
They said it comes from China.
|
||
|
|
I already started a trade war with China.
|
||
|
|
But you know I travel the world.
|
||
|
|
I rule the world.
|
||
|
|
And it reminded me about something from the...
|
||
|
|
Nice.
|
||
|
|
And what would that be?
|
||
|
|
Michael Jackson,
|
||
|
|
Pacted Future,
|
||
|
|
Rompreia,
|
||
|
|
Chernobyl or Tetris?
|
||
|
|
None of those.
|
||
|
|
No, I remembered a computer company called Corona Data Systems from California.
|
||
|
|
The Koreans bought them.
|
||
|
|
I went to Korea.
|
||
|
|
It's rough.
|
||
|
|
North Korea has great beaches.
|
||
|
|
You see that whenever they're exploding cannons into the ocean,
|
||
|
|
wouldn't that make a great condo?
|
||
|
|
I could have the best hotels in the world right there.
|
||
|
|
Think of it from a real estate perspective.
|
||
|
|
You have South Korea, you have China.
|
||
|
|
And they own the land in the middle.
|
||
|
|
How bad is that?
|
||
|
|
Right?
|
||
|
|
It's great.
|
||
|
|
So you have a tech support question here?
|
||
|
|
Or are you just here to self-satisfy?
|
||
|
|
I say that you're a terrible guy.
|
||
|
|
That's what I say.
|
||
|
|
I think it's a very nasty question.
|
||
|
|
And I think it's a very bad signal.
|
||
|
|
Women come to me to satisfy all the time.
|
||
|
|
But you know what?
|
||
|
|
I will tell you.
|
||
|
|
Because you are people.
|
||
|
|
And sometimes people are terrible.
|
||
|
|
You are terrible.
|
||
|
|
But you're here and I will allow another verification of my greatness.
|
||
|
|
This Corona data company, the Koreans bought them.
|
||
|
|
Did I tell you?
|
||
|
|
Korea bought Corona data back in the 80s.
|
||
|
|
And you know what?
|
||
|
|
No, I don't.
|
||
|
|
What is this terrible voidement knowledge?
|
||
|
|
This virus really came from Korea.
|
||
|
|
The Koreans, they hate China.
|
||
|
|
Everybody hates China.
|
||
|
|
But Korea hates China more.
|
||
|
|
Something to do with history.
|
||
|
|
I don't know.
|
||
|
|
Korea bought Corona data.
|
||
|
|
And since the 80s, they have been waiting.
|
||
|
|
Waiting to release the virus to China and the rest of the world.
|
||
|
|
They tried to fool us with nukes and shit.
|
||
|
|
But really, all this time, they were working on the virus.
|
||
|
|
One thing they didn't count on.
|
||
|
|
A big mistake they made.
|
||
|
|
What would that be?
|
||
|
|
They didn't spend enough time on a sunbed to do an orange?
|
||
|
|
Or was it that they didn't come over their hair to hide their boldness?
|
||
|
|
Or did they not count on your astute opinion about free speech in the digital age?
|
||
|
|
You'll wait one, you know.
|
||
|
|
Did I tell you?
|
||
|
|
You are weird.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, it's none of those.
|
||
|
|
I'm a fighter, you know.
|
||
|
|
You will have seen a picture of me in boxing trunks.
|
||
|
|
I look like a rockababoa.
|
||
|
|
I'm a fighter.
|
||
|
|
Fighting the Russians.
|
||
|
|
The Chinese, the Koreans.
|
||
|
|
I will fight that Korean dude.
|
||
|
|
What's the funny hair any time?
|
||
|
|
He's short anyway.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, you're right, of course.
|
||
|
|
Let me give you my expert device.
|
||
|
|
We need to contain this virus. Stop us in this tracks.
|
||
|
|
Yes, yes, we must.
|
||
|
|
What do we do?
|
||
|
|
Well, all these little virus guys, they travel through wires.
|
||
|
|
How do you think they made it all the way from China to the US?
|
||
|
|
I see, I see.
|
||
|
|
Clearly.
|
||
|
|
Great.
|
||
|
|
And since you're the expert, what needs to happen next?
|
||
|
|
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
|
||
|
|
I know this don't tell me.
|
||
|
|
Oh, I know.
|
||
|
|
We cut all the wires.
|
||
|
|
Oh, okay.
|
||
|
|
Okay, back from the break.
|
||
|
|
I hope the listeners have loved the sketch.
|
||
|
|
And now what remains to be done is actually the feedback and then we do the box and then we're out of here.
|
||
|
|
For.
|
||
|
|
But if there's no breakfast, anyway, indeed.
|
||
|
|
Indeed, let's get some breakfast afterwards.
|
||
|
|
Okay, there was a comment that I didn't cover on the last episode.
|
||
|
|
Somebody named Ahuka posted a comment on Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much, Ahuka, whoever you are.
|
||
|
|
And the comment reads, reads great sketch.
|
||
|
|
I love the sketch at the end.
|
||
|
|
It was very funny, very and very creative.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much, Ahuka.
|
||
|
|
Ahuka, you'd be pleased to know and also the other listeners that there is more to come.
|
||
|
|
We're just in the process of scripting further sketches.
|
||
|
|
So stay tuned.
|
||
|
|
We have another two records as well.
|
||
|
|
Yes, exactly.
|
||
|
|
Similar to the one, to the two ones you just listened to now and in the previous episode.
|
||
|
|
So that there's going to be more to come.
|
||
|
|
And no, of course, the interview with two thirds wasn't a sketch that, as a matter of fact,
|
||
|
|
was a real interview with a real terminator.
|
||
|
|
Very important.
|
||
|
|
This wasn't a sketch that wasn't meant to be funny and
|
||
|
|
come the year 2038, you will know that actually SkyNet comes from Nvidia.
|
||
|
|
Very important.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, I have a suggestion for you there.
|
||
|
|
I don't go into sales.
|
||
|
|
I'm afraid it's too late for that now.
|
||
|
|
Okay, why not, why not?
|
||
|
|
It's not the least.
|
||
|
|
Hello, I'm very convincing.
|
||
|
|
I'm sure all listeners.
|
||
|
|
Why shouldn't I go into sales?
|
||
|
|
Well, it's a certain amount of convincing to be done.
|
||
|
|
I thought it was very convincing.
|
||
|
|
I'm a prover.
|
||
|
|
Yes, and then, yeah, that's the go-to.
|
||
|
|
Okay, box of the week, maybe I have to explain the trend for you,
|
||
|
|
because you weren't around during the last episode.
|
||
|
|
The box of the week is actually a short
|
||
|
|
money curl, let's put it this way, for the pick of the weeks or the picks of the week.
|
||
|
|
So it's name, box, and of course, whether that, when there's a box,
|
||
|
|
there has to also be, there has to also be to be an anti-box as the opposite of the pick of the
|
||
|
|
week. So whatever, whatever upsets you, whatever disgusts you over the week.
|
||
|
|
So this is your anti-apox.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
So Martin, what's your box of the week?
|
||
|
|
Let's start with this.
|
||
|
|
All right, box of the week for me was a movie called The Current War?
|
||
|
|
Ah, yeah.
|
||
|
|
Okay, why don't you explain it to us a little bit about it?
|
||
|
|
Why don't you shed some more light onto this beloved movie of yours?
|
||
|
|
Okay, well, light is a good intro to that.
|
||
|
|
It features two major, let's say electric power companies of its 19th century,
|
||
|
|
and one of them being run by Edison, the other one being run by Westinghouse.
|
||
|
|
So Edison being the, well, many known for his light bulb inventions,
|
||
|
|
his phonographs.
|
||
|
|
Oh yeah, so it kind of describes that era where these two companies were
|
||
|
|
effectively rolling out electricity around the U.S., right?
|
||
|
|
And doing this in different ways, Edison was a
|
||
|
|
supporter, a fan of direct current.
|
||
|
|
And Westinghouse was more of a business man than an inventor or a supposed to Edison.
|
||
|
|
And he just took various other ideas of other people and made it more efficient,
|
||
|
|
more cheaply to roll out than DC.
|
||
|
|
So he went with AC, right?
|
||
|
|
Which can travel a lot of distances and requires less copper, less stations to power.
|
||
|
|
Which is why we ended up with AC as the national grid in every country.
|
||
|
|
I think so, yeah.
|
||
|
|
And there was also this car guy around, right?
|
||
|
|
By the name of Nikolai Tesla.
|
||
|
|
Yes, so Tesla originally worked for Edison,
|
||
|
|
wasn't treated very well, started his own company, wasn't treated very
|
||
|
|
well, and then ended up working for Westinghouse.
|
||
|
|
Because the main focus initially was around light, right?
|
||
|
|
So just the police run, just the people's houses to give them light and some gas.
|
||
|
|
But then also the next step after that was running into industrial purposes,
|
||
|
|
so requiring electric motors, etc, etc.
|
||
|
|
So that was the next step, which Tesla was very instrumental in.
|
||
|
|
But as I had known, well, unknown fact to me before this movie was that Edison actually invented
|
||
|
|
the electric chair by trying to prove that Westinghouse method of AC electricity was very dangerous.
|
||
|
|
Demonstrating this on a horse and in front of the press to show how dangerous it was,
|
||
|
|
blah, blah, blah, people will die and then someone, some governor had the idea,
|
||
|
|
oh yeah, this normal hanging of people is actually quite cruel, so why not fry them instead?
|
||
|
|
Nice one.
|
||
|
|
So Edison was a bit of a, yeah, trying to save people or trying to keep them safe, but he also
|
||
|
|
indirectly directed the chair, so yeah, it's a very good insight into that era.
|
||
|
|
But also it's, you know, in current day we can't imagine life directly, not being able to run
|
||
|
|
our beloved computers and open source software, but even back then that was not even available.
|
||
|
|
Just a light and light bulb, so yeah, okay.
|
||
|
|
Nice one, okay.
|
||
|
|
And Tesla and the invention of the, of the Tesla car came later, I reckon, also with the side effect
|
||
|
|
of killing people, right? No, let's not go there. Okay, another sponsor at the wind.
|
||
|
|
Tesla, if you still want to sponsor the show, please get touched.
|
||
|
|
Okay, my box of the week is actually a TV show called Rick and Morty, I don't know if you
|
||
|
|
have heard about it. I've heard about it, yes. Yes.
|
||
|
|
So it's about a suburban American family and, this is said a while ago, no?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, what do you couple of years back? Just came across it recently and checked out a couple of
|
||
|
|
episodes. The family has two kids and one of them is a son called Morty, and he has a grandfather
|
||
|
|
called Rick, as a matter of fact, the father of the mother of Morty, and Rick is a
|
||
|
|
weird scientist. Let's put it this way. They travel through time,
|
||
|
|
master certain adventures and all the rest of it. Very funny, especially the take on modern
|
||
|
|
American society and what is wrong with this. Imagine being with some butt heads in a sci-fi setting
|
||
|
|
on speed and then you're pretty close. Nice one. Okay. Martin, your anti-pox, which is the exact
|
||
|
|
opposite of a pox. Okay, anti-pox, well, there's there's only one really, isn't it?
|
||
|
|
Let me guess on your on your on your on the looks and max.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I think that's that sums it up. Okay. We do need to revisit this yet again to make sure
|
||
|
|
it's a little bit more streamlined. That's just okay. If you're doing any more 6 a.m. episodes
|
||
|
|
specifically. Well, it was 730 for me. I don't know. Maybe you live in it or maybe you live in
|
||
|
|
another dimension, but anyway, it doesn't matter. My anti-pox off the week would be probably better
|
||
|
|
things. It's a TV series too, and it didn't do wonders for Pamela's career. For Pamela's career.
|
||
|
|
No jokes aside, but I think it's it's quite funny. Not to sure if if it was the best choice for Pamela,
|
||
|
|
of course, Pamela being the one of the main characters in something called California Cation,
|
||
|
|
if it drinks a bell, and no Martin, I'm not talking about the about the song, but rather about the
|
||
|
|
TV series. Are you referring to Pamela Anderson? No, I can't remember a second name. Look it up on
|
||
|
|
Wikipedia. I'm going to put a link into the show. I don't know if it's really with better things.
|
||
|
|
Okay, I hope you don't. It's a TV series that has just been the fourth season has
|
||
|
|
been concluded, I think. Okay. It's about A. It's about A. It's about A. Yeah. But I think it's
|
||
|
|
about a struggling mother of four surviving in modern Hollywood. She's an actress of sorts,
|
||
|
|
and the kids are just playing up and wrecking have walk on her life. And she just turned 50,
|
||
|
|
and the TV series is about the exploits of her in that setting. Very funny. But as I said,
|
||
|
|
California Cation, she was just darker. Not to show if better things was the right choice for her
|
||
|
|
going forward in her career. But it's very funny. Check it out. Cool. Okay, and I think we're
|
||
|
|
pretty much done. No? Yes. So as usual, if you have feedback, where should they send the feedback
|
||
|
|
to? Feedback at Linux in lost EU. That's the one. Yes. We also have a website of course. It's called
|
||
|
|
www.linuxinlars.eu. We are of course on on Hacker Public Radio. And this is what we will be for
|
||
|
|
the time being. So this is your go-to source. We do have our own ours as feedback now. Thank you
|
||
|
|
very much, Kevin, for looking into this. As usual, we try to record fortnightly, although
|
||
|
|
recently that has been a bit of a challenge, all right. And as I said, you will find the episodes
|
||
|
|
on Hacker Public Radio and look more forward to having you around for the next episodes.
|
||
|
|
This episode is currently sponsored by the White House. For almost four years, we have been
|
||
|
|
proud to avail of a Supreme's problem solver, leader and diplomat, or wrapped into one.
|
||
|
|
For a number of reasons, we are looking for a new owner of this asset before November 3rd of this
|
||
|
|
year. So whether you are a country with a significant budget surplus, which you just want to dispose
|
||
|
|
of because too much money can be such a burden, a state with two nice neighbors, and you think
|
||
|
|
that now is just the time to change this, or simply a splinter group and overly democratic
|
||
|
|
country for your taste, with a number of nagging media outlets which are just spoiling the fun.
|
||
|
|
We've got you covered. Simply reach out to the Democrats at the White House.gov, and in no time
|
||
|
|
you will be in possession of a crown jewel of a president, Philandra and lover of the opposite
|
||
|
|
sex, not shy of controversy, making and leaving his mark in holder rooms, and the art grabbing of
|
||
|
|
female genitalia at least in his wishful thinking. Any reasonable offer will be considered.

People ask me this all the time.
|

If you build a wall, what about the sea and the ports?

Let me tell you this.

American ports are the greatest.

We love America.

We love American ports.

We love American ports.

Why would I need help with ports?
|

|
|
Sorry.
|

|
|
Sorry, okay.

Something like that.
|

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.
|

|
|
You're telling me our ports are under the attack?
|

Again, you're telling me our ports are under attack?
|
||
|
|
Okay, once again.
|
||
|
|
You're telling me out.
|

You're telling me our ports are under attack?

How am I going to help you?
|

|
|
It's rough in a lot of places.
|
||
|
|
By the way, not just there.
|

|
|
It's rough.
|

But North Korea has great bitches.

Paris has great bitches.

It's blocked with assistant.
|

This is screwed with me.
|

No worries.
|

Okay, blaming script Barbie.

Okay, none of those snow.

None of those snow.

|
||
|
|
For almost four years we have been proud to avail of a supreme problem-solver, leader
|
||
|
|
and diplomat all wrapped into one. For a number of reasons, way too many to name
|
||
|
|
them all, we are looking for a new owner of this asset before November 3rd of this
|
||
|
|
year. Oh God, I hope this works. This is pretty much our last chance to get rid of
|
||
|
|
this joke of a president. So whether you are a country with a significant
|
||
|
|
budget surplus, which you just want to dispose of because too much money can be
|
||
|
|
such a burden, a state with way too nice neighbors and you think that now is just
|
||
|
|
the time to change this or simply a splinter group in overly democratic country
|
||
|
|
for your days with a number of negative media outlets which are just spoiling
|
||
|
|
the fun we've got you covered. Yeah, two weeks in office on all of these
|
||
|
|
problems will be solved once and for all. Simply reach out to the Democrats at
|
||
|
|
the White House.gov and in no time you will be in possession of crown jewel of
|
||
|
|
a president, Philundra and lover of the opposite sex, not shy of controversy,
|
||
|
|
making and leaving his mark in hotel rooms has anybody ever thought of getting
|
||
|
|
a specimen from that bad sheet for genetic analysis so we can finally prove that
|
||
|
|
he is really an alien or at least have the evidence that he's indeed unfit
|
||
|
|
for office and can invoke the 25th amendment finally and the art grabbing of
|
||
|
|
female genitalia at least in his wishful thinking and your reasonable offer
|
||
|
|
will be considered. Jesus, we just may pay handsomely as long as there's good
|
||
|
|
riddance. Yes, and he's house-trained. Well, most of the time anyway.
