|
|
Hi everybody, later on in the show, there are discussions about some
|
||
|
|
sensitive topics. These may not be suitable for airing in an open environment
|
||
|
|
or where young or vulnerable people can hear. So please take this into account when playing
|
||
|
|
out the show. Thank you. Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon. You're listening to another
|
||
|
|
episode of Hacker Public Radio. This time it's Community News for October 2021 and joining me this
|
||
|
|
evening is live from Scotland. All right, that one you mean. Yeah, that's me this Dave Morris.
|
||
|
|
Okay, now we're going into a problem because we're going to have to do it alphabetically
|
||
|
|
because I don't know where the other two guys are calling them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I
|
||
|
|
hesitate to assume you're going to reach 72 first. I'm in the Chicago area. Live from Chicago,
|
||
|
|
it is. This is where you come in and go archers 72. Once me pronouncing somebody's name.
|
||
|
|
Okay, let's do it again. Take two people. Take two. Live from Chicago, it is archer 72.
|
||
|
|
Why do we even bother? How can I work with these people days? And finally we have
|
||
|
|
yeah, we're on from Baltimore live from his basement. Where what state is Baltimore in?
|
||
|
|
Baltimore is in Maryland. We're just I'm just north of DC about 60 miles. Okay, very good,
|
||
|
|
very good, excellent. I'm in the Netherlands in my basement, which is a lot nicer now than it was
|
||
|
|
about four months ago. But anyway, enough about my basement. This is Hacker Public Radio and this
|
||
|
|
is Hacker Public Radio Community News. Hacker Public Radio is a community service where our
|
||
|
|
podcasts are released by the people who listen to it. That is correct. You listening to this
|
||
|
|
very show could yourself become a podcaster with some very, very simple steps. Community news is
|
||
|
|
where the junters of the community of the network come together and talk about the stuff that's
|
||
|
|
been going on in the HPR community to make sure that everybody knows that their shows have been
|
||
|
|
loved and listened to. So as this traditional diva now welcome our new hosts. Yes, we do have a
|
||
|
|
new host this month or last month or whenever it was Hacker Defo, I think is the pronunciation.
|
||
|
|
So welcome, welcome on board. Sounds good to me. And the breakdown of this is that we go through
|
||
|
|
last month's shows, some of the comments, things on the mailing list, and other discussions,
|
||
|
|
events, and other, and the other business, which I think will feature heavily about the tagging
|
||
|
|
this month. So without further ado, let's go to hacking stories with redacted part five by operator.
|
||
|
|
And this was the fifth in his rambling about old pen testing stories and I think a lot of these
|
||
|
|
went down the street. I love these. These are amazing. It's really interesting to hear what people
|
||
|
|
do in their work and stuff. There's only a fast minute here about this. And yeah, I used to
|
||
|
|
try and talk my boss in to get in a pen test to interject things. I've never wanted to do it. I think
|
||
|
|
it was a scared thing. And that's what seemed to happen to operate. He found things that people
|
||
|
|
didn't want him to find. Hey, I cook or these have been great. And I have a feeling we should
|
||
|
|
probably be doing this at work. We've already had a couple of ransomware attacks against us.
|
||
|
|
So it probably could use a little bit of this penetration testing.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I think the word couple of there does themselves very good. You would think one would be
|
||
|
|
sufficient. Yes, indeed. Wow. That's nasty. They hadn't invented that much when I was still working.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, you have my sympathy. Yeah, they came about for three years apart, four years apart.
|
||
|
|
We thought we had done better, but apparently not. Yeah, it's easy to fool in these holes, I'm sure.
|
||
|
|
So the following day, we had a community news for September 2021. And there was one
|
||
|
|
clarification I wanted to make on that one. And that was the last community news. I said that
|
||
|
|
we checked a show and found that it was of interest hackers. I should have said that we checked it,
|
||
|
|
and it was not spam. So stuff you need to know. This is from the website. And this is the
|
||
|
|
agree policy. Audio of your show will not be moderated. We do not vet. Ed is moderate. Or in any
|
||
|
|
way sense or any of the audio. You submit. We trust you to do that. Last part is also an
|
||
|
|
interesting part. We trust you to do that. Aside from checking snippets of audio quality for spam
|
||
|
|
checking, we have a policy where we don't listen to the shows before they are aired.
|
||
|
|
I've actually started the open number and audacity now following the discussion
|
||
|
|
of the mailing list to see what the levels are looking like to see if we can fix that. But more
|
||
|
|
about that and on. Teaser there. So the next day we had the HTML document format.
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry. Can you drop it out for me? I missed this last couple of sentences.
|
||
|
|
How am I? How am I? Did I drop out for anybody else? No. So I'm good to me.
|
||
|
|
We'll fix it in post. Don't worry. Any questions about that? Or did you hear?
|
||
|
|
By fix it in post, I mean absolutely no intention of editing at all. It was about the spam
|
||
|
|
checking that we don't spam check. Sorry, we do spam check. Absolutely. We do spam check.
|
||
|
|
But we don't edit or moderate the show. Yes. I can't have that. Yes. I agree.
|
||
|
|
And it's, I mean, it's only a matter of time before somebody twigs that they can send in spam
|
||
|
|
to HPR. And when they do, we will check it among the admins. And if there's any doubt,
|
||
|
|
we will go to the mail list. It's not as if we're going to start blocking stuff,
|
||
|
|
unless it's fairly obvious. Yes. So nobody panic.
|
||
|
|
Cool. Okay. Moving on. The HTML document format. Talking about my favorite document format.
|
||
|
|
And this was from Daniel Pearson's. Yeah. He likes HTML. Basically is what he's saying.
|
||
|
|
So it delivers, which is, which is a very valid thing to say. But he also says that back end
|
||
|
|
systems can create it. So, you know, he's sort of conceding the point that you don't necessarily
|
||
|
|
have to create it by hand. Absolutely. I don't think that XML itself, maybe I should do a
|
||
|
|
response show on this. And not just comment. I don't think my database can take another
|
||
|
|
show that I need to do. But anyway, I think XML in general is not necessarily a bad format. It's
|
||
|
|
just everybody has their own view on how it should be format. And that's kind of the issue.
|
||
|
|
Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I do. I have to say I have a soft spot for HTML too. That was sort of
|
||
|
|
one of the first big things I had to do. One of my first tech jobs was convert old Word
|
||
|
|
Perfect 5.1 reports into HTML. And you know, you grow fond of after you've manually inserted a lot
|
||
|
|
of tags. Yes. Yeah. I enjoy the fact that Vim, the plugins have got, let me select to learn
|
||
|
|
and stick tags either end of it or around a word or whatever. And it's just, you know,
|
||
|
|
there's so many potential places where you can mess up by, you know, hitting an extra character
|
||
|
|
or forgetting the slash or something, you know, to have something to mediate for you is
|
||
|
|
nicer, you know, it's like the difference between having a brace and a bit and an electric drill,
|
||
|
|
you know, do you really want to cut that hole with by hitting it with that with a rock?
|
||
|
|
That's what it feels like to me. Yeah. Yeah. I should probably do best practices HBR show.
|
||
|
|
Best practices when dealing with XML.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, shall we move on? 10 privacy-friendly Google search alternatives. And this is by our
|
||
|
|
new host, Hacker Diffle, you reckon. Some sites I'd never come across before in there, actually.
|
||
|
|
Some very, very cool ones which, which was a collodio. But, Lenny, what do you think? What do you
|
||
|
|
think, guys? Some cool stuff there, actually. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I think, I think DuckDuckGo
|
||
|
|
and maybe I'd run across Brave Search, but I think DuckDuckGo was really the only one that I'd ever
|
||
|
|
heard of before. I haven't been introduced to anyone. Yeah, yeah. I have start page as my default in,
|
||
|
|
I use a lot of browsers and I quite like Vivaldi and I'm using start page in there.
|
||
|
|
DuckDuckGo somewhere else. It's just useful to have multiple browsers. I shouldn't do this, I know,
|
||
|
|
but there you go. But yeah, but those are start pages and DuckDuckGo with the only ones I was really
|
||
|
|
aware of. I do use Brave, but not just to show people's show notes, actually, because it's easy
|
||
|
|
to fire up from the command line and I find easier than some, anyway. I think it's a changing
|
||
|
|
thing, but the time when I was writing the script to take some HTML I'd made from a show and
|
||
|
|
display it. I found that Brave was actually quite good at doing it. Do you want to read the
|
||
|
|
comments? Yes. ClaudioM says Mojique. Great episode. Nice to hear a few of the ones I've used
|
||
|
|
and known about mentioned as well as some of the others I've not known about. One that wasn't
|
||
|
|
mentioned that I recently came to discover is called Mojique, as soon as I say it. More information
|
||
|
|
about Mojique below, it gives a link and a Wikipedia entry and the SDF all-known public access
|
||
|
|
Unix system since 1987 has its own Hugo instance, which he gives a link to as well. Never heard of that.
|
||
|
|
And do you want to do the Linux 4 Secures you want? Me. What do you want me to do? Archer. Or Roan, do you
|
||
|
|
want to do the comments? Yeah, I'm trying to get to... Come on! I was trying to get down to the
|
||
|
|
comments. There's a link at the top of it to get you there. I know I struggle like this.
|
||
|
|
This is me. How did this guy pass the audition, David?
|
||
|
|
I've asked the audition. Now we're doing a show on how you participate in the community news.
|
||
|
|
Where is the link to the... Are you on episode 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 8?
|
||
|
|
Ah, I know what's happening. So you top up each of the pages themselves.
|
||
|
|
Oh, that's what I do. And then you get the comments on the pages themselves.
|
||
|
|
And then we... What I normally do is press the next button, next button,
|
||
|
|
until I go too far and Dave says, oh, okay, and I think you're going into next month's show,
|
||
|
|
which is written into the script on page 7.
|
||
|
|
It's our standing room deal. Okay, I think I'm with the... I think I'm with the program now.
|
||
|
|
Excellent. So comment number two. And take 42. Go. Hello. Did I have my push to talk on while I
|
||
|
|
was trying to read that comment? You didn't. Okay, silence will have removed 10 seconds of silence there.
|
||
|
|
Comment number two. By Linux for security, browser. Fogueris or Fog UIS is a good one.
|
||
|
|
Okay, could you do that with more feelings and a bit of animation?
|
||
|
|
No, I want to be messing. I've never heard of that. Is that a browser? I want to search for it.
|
||
|
|
Is that a browser or is it a search? I have no idea. No, no, I mean either.
|
||
|
|
I did have a look. Yeah, it's a browser up on the Google Play. Okay. Okay, you're
|
||
|
|
turn off. I show it would be nice. Be ideal to have a little show about that. Why you like it?
|
||
|
|
What it brings as opposed to any other browser. It offers in-app purchases. Indeed.
|
||
|
|
Okay, the next show was Linux in-laws. This one with the BSTs.
|
||
|
|
How do these guys manage to line up so many people for so many interviews? It's absolutely
|
||
|
|
awesome. Yes, yes. I know. I know. The panel they had was pretty impressive and the
|
||
|
|
discussion was amazing. I thought I, BST, I've written down here. BST both sounds interesting as well as
|
||
|
|
the undesirable. Well, don't ask me to give you a compliment too.
|
||
|
|
That's my review and I'm sticking out. No, but it sounds great, but it feels like you're
|
||
|
|
sort of in a bit of a straight jacket if you're using it, but that was a message I've got.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, I've never used it in Ernest. So, all other than old Unixes, which were BST,
|
||
|
|
Akaram, which were BST now, but yeah, but it was fascinating to listen to, really good.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I really enjoy that that particular talk and their shares in general, at least when I do
|
||
|
|
go for the knowledge, they do amazing job and get some really good guests on their show.
|
||
|
|
They do. Claudio M's has the best of BSTs, great episode gents. That was an awesome interview.
|
||
|
|
I could have listened for even longer if you do go the full three hours a little.
|
||
|
|
Definitely better guests for interview than I'd ever be.
|
||
|
|
Running joke, the one Claudio M on for a interview, I actually think that would be kind of cool,
|
||
|
|
given his history. Yeah, interesting guy.
|
||
|
|
If you want to take Zenflarter 2's, come to please.
|
||
|
|
I'll do Zenflarter 2, who says this show put me up a tree in being a squirrel.
|
||
|
|
I had to play this show about three times to get all the content out of it.
|
||
|
|
That's a good point, actually.
|
||
|
|
It's good and running, isn't it?
|
||
|
|
Good now, 3 on Open BST is extremely easy, as GDM does all work for you.
|
||
|
|
Sending up parts audio is probably the hardest part, most newbies have difficulty with.
|
||
|
|
But you know, this squirrel is second-tired of heavy dust tops.
|
||
|
|
I'm also getting second-tired of Intel AMD 64 platforms, plastic CPUs from L.
|
||
|
|
And along for the main frame days, where we just used a dumb terminal, I was happy then.
|
||
|
|
I have a few BSTs service to use for SSH, which satisfy this urge.
|
||
|
|
But I need to buy some dumb terminals and put Open BST on my Raspberry Pi 400 thingy.
|
||
|
|
We take two Chromebooks and just drown them both in a deep bathtub somewhere.
|
||
|
|
As long as it doesn't record the bathtub filling, that's okay.
|
||
|
|
There's no such thing, sorry, I shouldn't have been interjecting there.
|
||
|
|
There's no such thing as a perfect desktop.
|
||
|
|
I hate them all.
|
||
|
|
Those desktops always leave you feeling unsatisfied with, like, why do we even put up with desktops?
|
||
|
|
What drives Fedora to continue on with GNOME?
|
||
|
|
What are they going to get out of it?
|
||
|
|
What will IBM get out of it?
|
||
|
|
Everyone should run OpenBSD or NetBSD or Figuita or how about Geeks
|
||
|
|
with the herd instead of all this Linux stuff.
|
||
|
|
I want something different on the computer table.
|
||
|
|
Really, GNOME and SystemD is like slow creeping cancer.
|
||
|
|
And the boring cancer too, it limits fall off one at a time every three to four years.
|
||
|
|
He's not very clear about his love for SystemD there.
|
||
|
|
Does he still like it?
|
||
|
|
Yes, he's got some slightly negative vibes on the Linux front, but yeah.
|
||
|
|
I think, definitely, he's feeling the love there for SystemD.
|
||
|
|
I'm sure of it.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, SystemD.
|
||
|
|
Go on.
|
||
|
|
No, go on, SystemD is the thing.
|
||
|
|
I just want to say SystemD, I was up for following the hate, but I don't say anything to hate,
|
||
|
|
particularly. It's not bit me at all, but there you go.
|
||
|
|
That's just my experience.
|
||
|
|
Okay, the following day, we had lighten layer modes.
|
||
|
|
We continue to look at the layer modes in GIMP with lightened modes.
|
||
|
|
And this is a hookah's continuing series on working his way through the GIMP
|
||
|
|
as with all the show's excellent discussion.
|
||
|
|
Basically doing with the GIMP what he did with the LibreOffice episode.
|
||
|
|
And this time he has videos of various different topics into the show notes.
|
||
|
|
Always go, also, always go to his own website where there's full right up on this with images.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I haven't done that this time. Let's pick the one.
|
||
|
|
It's a good, good reminder.
|
||
|
|
I need to go and look.
|
||
|
|
It does a wonderful job, yes.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I always just keep a hookah in the back of my head whenever I'm using the GIMP
|
||
|
|
or open office, LibreOffice.
|
||
|
|
I just say, do I need some help?
|
||
|
|
I know where to go.
|
||
|
|
Exactly.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, good, yeah.
|
||
|
|
And the best part about the LibreOffice series for me has been,
|
||
|
|
has my son occasionally had stuff that he needs to submit in the graph or something,
|
||
|
|
and you actually happened four days ago or something where I was open to one o'clock
|
||
|
|
doing a logarithmic graph.
|
||
|
|
And the thing is because I've listened to a hookah's show, I know that LibreOffice can do it,
|
||
|
|
but I may have completely forgotten how, but at least, you know, it's not something you're
|
||
|
|
going to spend two hours researching and only to discover it's not possible.
|
||
|
|
So that really shortens the amount of pain.
|
||
|
|
So whether you go to his episode or whether you go just to stack overflow to find out
|
||
|
|
how to do it, at least you know it can be done, which is a brilliant start.
|
||
|
|
Cool, yeah.
|
||
|
|
Murphy Bench was operator's next show and DIY woodworking and hacking.
|
||
|
|
And this was a Murphy bed is a bed that folds away in tiny apartments.
|
||
|
|
I've never, I've only ever seen one on TV, but this is a bench that folds away.
|
||
|
|
And if you want to see this, there's an animated gift in the show notes.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, cool.
|
||
|
|
A great idea, a great idea.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely.
|
||
|
|
Would tell some nice tales of what he needs and some of the things falling off.
|
||
|
|
Falling into a bucket of water, you say at one point.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, good.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I do like the idea.
|
||
|
|
I just, I'm just afraid knowing me, it would not ever be actually folded away,
|
||
|
|
which has become a permanent cable account in the wall.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, exactly, exactly, yes.
|
||
|
|
The next day we had, what is this thing called science?
|
||
|
|
Critical thinking is only part of the equation and here's the other part.
|
||
|
|
This is a tattoos response to HBR3414.
|
||
|
|
Critical thinking may make you critical of your coronavirus and there are several comments to that.
|
||
|
|
Brian and Ohio says, science, look at the show notes.
|
||
|
|
I wish science was as pure as you'd say it is, but where money is concerned, you can't deny
|
||
|
|
people have gotten wealthy because of COVID-19.
|
||
|
|
The science gets tainted.
|
||
|
|
Richard Feynman would often point out how difficult science experiments are to do,
|
||
|
|
especially in biological science, where control of variables is almost impossible.
|
||
|
|
Proof that science around COVID is modeled as any science can be seen when the scientist
|
||
|
|
decide to vaccinate the police or play a stable group in the study.
|
||
|
|
Yes, that's the whole URL, the big lung URL.
|
||
|
|
The decision was driven by opinion not facts.
|
||
|
|
Science is hard and flawed.
|
||
|
|
Trusting the experts can lead to things like system D when they say just trust us, it works.
|
||
|
|
Also, much of what we call science is actually engineering.
|
||
|
|
Development of risk architectures is probably done by engineers.
|
||
|
|
With goals are different than science.
|
||
|
|
Lastly, the famous scientist said, if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
|
||
|
|
I actually agree with quite a lot of Brian's comments there.
|
||
|
|
Science is in fact hard, but just because it's hard doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.
|
||
|
|
It means you can mess it up along the way.
|
||
|
|
But part of the process is that you say, oh hell, I messed that up.
|
||
|
|
Right, let's go and fix that and carry on.
|
||
|
|
You know, you're not reaching perfection ever.
|
||
|
|
No perfection is there at all, but you're striving towards it.
|
||
|
|
Do you want to do the next comment there, Dave?
|
||
|
|
Yes, we have a comment from EHFFFF.
|
||
|
|
I'm not sure how you're supposed to pronounce that.
|
||
|
|
So he's talking about Class II COVID and science.
|
||
|
|
Class II, the science endeavours us with our hypothesis that is lately given weight
|
||
|
|
by scrutiny from all known effecting factors.
|
||
|
|
You'll claim that COVID-19 dangers and effects are known and an accepted condition by
|
||
|
|
medicals is false as that stance presumes ethics and truths with part employment and statistics
|
||
|
|
gathered during the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.
|
||
|
|
It also presumes all medicals are on board COVID-19 agenda, which is totally incorrect.
|
||
|
|
If you didn't show to your mind or you only exposure sort of filtered social media by the way
|
||
|
|
not being offensive, he would know that it's commonplace for hospitals to place anyone with
|
||
|
|
symptoms of COVID-19 that includes influenza into an induced coma and then intubation and ventilators.
|
||
|
|
This makes attending hospital in this year with any cold or flu dangerous.
|
||
|
|
The ventilators are known to damage the lungs and should only be used in extreme situations
|
||
|
|
where no other option is available.
|
||
|
|
It's also common knowledge that hospitals around the world are refusing to use antiviral medications.
|
||
|
|
It's not part of the COVID-19 agenda to use them with early political demons demonization.
|
||
|
|
Hospitals are also sponsored for deaths and treatment of COVID-19 with money lump sums.
|
||
|
|
Therefore, the deaths and surviving patients reflect the malpractice
|
||
|
|
resulting in bad statistics used in your science assumption.
|
||
|
|
The COVID-19 vaccines, another field of corruption and dangerous anti-quotes the duck duck go URL on.
|
||
|
|
Okay, I'd like to see some evidence to support those statements.
|
||
|
|
Do you want to read the King Bull's please?
|
||
|
|
I can do that.
|
||
|
|
By King Bull's scientific methods, selectively apply based on feelings.
|
||
|
|
Your counterpoint is spot on and well said.
|
||
|
|
The analogy to CPU design and construction is well done.
|
||
|
|
There is a lot of chemistry and physics involved that even I have a hard time following.
|
||
|
|
As a chemist, I am defaulted by some of my colleagues for getting the scientific method
|
||
|
|
in single in COVID-19 vaccination as either unimportant or a conspiracy.
|
||
|
|
As compared to the dozens of other vaccines we all have taken,
|
||
|
|
I sure as a heck don't do not want to return to the good old days of polio, smallpox,
|
||
|
|
diphtheria, measles, tetanus, hepatitis A, such B, flu, HIB,
|
||
|
|
protecis, mumps, and I don't even get me started on chickenpox.
|
||
|
|
Matt Sweeney says, hats off to you.
|
||
|
|
Ksatu, a very elegant rebuttal, hats off to you for your measured
|
||
|
|
a thoughtful response and coolness in the face of such astonishing ignorance.
|
||
|
|
Dave, you get to do...
|
||
|
|
I've got Mr. E-H-E-H-H.
|
||
|
|
Quadroot left.
|
||
|
|
Would it be better in binary than one's if it was your normal?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, anyway, Mr. Hexadassimo, the pharmacist,
|
||
|
|
King Beowulf, polio was already being eradicated by a hygiene measures.
|
||
|
|
Also, polio disabilities are also the symptoms of other effects,
|
||
|
|
like radiation damage, which was a new technology of the era and people got exposed to high levels.
|
||
|
|
Polio epidemic was caused by many factors.
|
||
|
|
The polio vaccine is definitely not the cause out of that disease.
|
||
|
|
The modern spread of polio has been by polio vaccine.
|
||
|
|
Do the research.
|
||
|
|
Sorry, citation leader is behind that as well, please.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely.
|
||
|
|
Citation after every point, really.
|
||
|
|
Measles was never considered dangerous during it being common.
|
||
|
|
The people get natural immunity and creating a better scenario than current.
|
||
|
|
You've probably heard a Brady Bunch episode of having measles, a measles party.
|
||
|
|
Well, that was the go in that period.
|
||
|
|
The people got it and got over it.
|
||
|
|
Near to zero issues and resulted in better outcomes of being naturally immune.
|
||
|
|
Okay, do you want to carry on there, Dave?
|
||
|
|
Vaccines are in themselves a danger.
|
||
|
|
And of course, many new conditions like autism and SIDS never experienced by most before 80s
|
||
|
|
before the vaccine regime.
|
||
|
|
One in 54 birds are now autistic.
|
||
|
|
Autism in communities that don't vaccinate and need to zero.
|
||
|
|
Citation, please.
|
||
|
|
Okay, let's move on.
|
||
|
|
Excellent.
|
||
|
|
Neutron battery replacement.
|
||
|
|
Ron describes replacing the battery in his neutron EM41 electric lawnmower.
|
||
|
|
Gosh.
|
||
|
|
If there was only somebody here who could talk about this show,
|
||
|
|
it was refreshing to have a technical podcast this month, I must say.
|
||
|
|
But if he only knew how to set the recording voltage recorder better,
|
||
|
|
I...
|
||
|
|
Yeah, but at least he is open to feedback.
|
||
|
|
And because of that,
|
||
|
|
yeah, we were in touch with Taj to see if we could get the better recordings and
|
||
|
|
touch hits and tips which are now up on the website.
|
||
|
|
So you can get them there.
|
||
|
|
Have you had a chance to use that application?
|
||
|
|
No, not yet.
|
||
|
|
And actually, I just posted another podcast today.
|
||
|
|
But unfortunately, I sort of have a little bit of a backlog with so you still have to hear some.
|
||
|
|
That's fine.
|
||
|
|
Some some perfect examples of less than ideal audio.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, Flack is best, we accept the rest.
|
||
|
|
So it's about content, not quality, although we are always striving to improve the audio.
|
||
|
|
And yeah, we're going to be doing some more of that, but we'll discuss that later.
|
||
|
|
So nobody is interested in rechargeable lawnmowers because nobody commented.
|
||
|
|
No, it was good.
|
||
|
|
It's very irritating that the company presumed he's newton.
|
||
|
|
And it's extremely hard to look at that word and not pronounce it newtron.
|
||
|
|
Because he just didn't say newtron, he just didn't say newtron.
|
||
|
|
And so it wrote himself.
|
||
|
|
So it's just a daft piece of marketing you think to come up with a name like that.
|
||
|
|
Maybe it's somebody's actual name, I don't know.
|
||
|
|
But it's an easy trap to fall into.
|
||
|
|
Well, I for one found it interesting.
|
||
|
|
Not that I have a lawn large enough to have an electric lawnmower,
|
||
|
|
but the process of replacing the batteries and stuff I do find interesting.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
|
||
|
|
I'm just in the process of removing lawns because I hate them.
|
||
|
|
So I'm about not to need such a thing.
|
||
|
|
Yes, I do.
|
||
|
|
So with us, well, I'm glad people were finding it interesting.
|
||
|
|
At least a quorum of two.
|
||
|
|
Exactly 100% of his pure audience believes it's an awesome show.
|
||
|
|
The following day, jealousy struck when what's the handle?
|
||
|
|
I think it's a nihilazo.
|
||
|
|
It was like the joining together of a nihil as a nihilism.
|
||
|
|
A-Zo, I assumed.
|
||
|
|
So nihilazo, perhaps.
|
||
|
|
Yes, the one who got the Sion series 5MX from you, Dave.
|
||
|
|
That's a person.
|
||
|
|
That guy, yes, yes indeed.
|
||
|
|
I'm so jealous and so jealous.
|
||
|
|
Brian and Ohio says, compliment, I loved the show.
|
||
|
|
Nice to hear about older hardware being used.
|
||
|
|
And Gumnos says, looking forward to this one,
|
||
|
|
I've long desire to room the 5MX.
|
||
|
|
Possibly running either Linux or NetVSD.
|
||
|
|
But I've never been able to justify the cost outlay to myself.
|
||
|
|
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures with it.
|
||
|
|
And Comet cycle said,
|
||
|
|
trip down memory lane.
|
||
|
|
Great to hear a show about a Sion PDA.
|
||
|
|
I still have a Raybo somewhere in need of repair.
|
||
|
|
Never got around to getting it working directly with Linux,
|
||
|
|
but used under a VM with Windows XP and Lotus Smart Suite.
|
||
|
|
Wow.
|
||
|
|
Dave, do you want to do your own show?
|
||
|
|
I'll do my own comment on it.
|
||
|
|
So I wrote to say, great show.
|
||
|
|
Hi, Neil Azoo.
|
||
|
|
Thanks so much for doing the show.
|
||
|
|
It was excellent.
|
||
|
|
Because we had a pat that he would do this show eventually.
|
||
|
|
It brought to my eye to hear the story of my old Sion being so well appreciated and cared for.
|
||
|
|
I worked for University IT department here in Edinburgh in my passport.
|
||
|
|
These devices for all of the managers in the department.
|
||
|
|
I use mine a lot of the years.
|
||
|
|
Occasionally, I'd record audio on it.
|
||
|
|
There's got little buttons on the outside.
|
||
|
|
You can use it as a recorder.
|
||
|
|
But more than often, I'd write notes in meetings or use its calendar and contact application.
|
||
|
|
I'm pretty certain that can I put documents to a printer using a built-in IR device.
|
||
|
|
I had them on the Chrome HP LaserJet in my office,
|
||
|
|
which would accept documents over IR.
|
||
|
|
It was really useful in this regard.
|
||
|
|
No idea how you do that these days.
|
||
|
|
So an IR device on a Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
|
Hope to hear more about your adventures with the Sion
|
||
|
|
and anything else of interest to hackers in the future.
|
||
|
|
Excellent.
|
||
|
|
Lovely device.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it was good.
|
||
|
|
Bit fragile.
|
||
|
|
But it had been used consistently for a number of years.
|
||
|
|
That bendy cable was bound to go eventually.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Very impressed and managed to get it fixed though.
|
||
|
|
The next day was another show.
|
||
|
|
You, true critical thinking, seems to be the key.
|
||
|
|
And this is also a counterpoint to 3, 4, 1, 4.
|
||
|
|
Okay, let's start from the top of the comments.
|
||
|
|
Iron Helix.
|
||
|
|
This is the way to handle misinformation.
|
||
|
|
I applied.
|
||
|
|
You both for addressing this with facts and patience.
|
||
|
|
I'm without dipping into any personal attacks well done and enjoyable listen.
|
||
|
|
Thank you both for challenging the other episode logically
|
||
|
|
and for bringing some sanity to the conversation.
|
||
|
|
Best wishes to you both.
|
||
|
|
So Aaron B says,
|
||
|
|
reasoning.
|
||
|
|
This is not a criticism for this podcast which is something
|
||
|
|
I come across once in a while.
|
||
|
|
I will hear people say,
|
||
|
|
I believe in this,
|
||
|
|
I don't believe in that because I reason.
|
||
|
|
Which it's nice when people can declare themselves a reasonable person.
|
||
|
|
It's different to others.
|
||
|
|
Others else use them that way.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
About that sentence, but yeah.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
And by E8HFFF common sense,
|
||
|
|
consider that COVID-19 dangers are the spike protein.
|
||
|
|
If the COVID-19 vaccine creates spike protein,
|
||
|
|
therefore, it's a question of scale of damage.
|
||
|
|
COVID-19 vaccine injections are inherently damaging.
|
||
|
|
Some getting anaphylactic shock and death from the injections.
|
||
|
|
Kevin O'Brien says,
|
||
|
|
bravo as a very good analysis that uses genuine critical thinking.
|
||
|
|
One thing I haven't seen anyone point out yet is that the original show
|
||
|
|
much is made of the idea that masks are not airtight.
|
||
|
|
Of course, there aren't.
|
||
|
|
If there were people wearing them would die.
|
||
|
|
Exclamation mark.
|
||
|
|
I've worked in several hospitals in my career and masks do a decent,
|
||
|
|
not perfect job of what they are intended to do.
|
||
|
|
If I were being prepared for surgery,
|
||
|
|
and my surgeon said he would not wear a mask,
|
||
|
|
air coats, because I don't believe in them air coats,
|
||
|
|
I would most certainly stop everything and get a better surgeon.
|
||
|
|
Brian and Ohio risk.
|
||
|
|
Good show.
|
||
|
|
One exception I'll take is that all Americans turn to Anthony Fauci
|
||
|
|
for our information is just not true.
|
||
|
|
The man is flawed and so is his wife.
|
||
|
|
The only thing lacking in both podcasts is discussion of risk analysis.
|
||
|
|
All people have different levels of risk they are willing to take.
|
||
|
|
Politicians and policymakers creating one-size-fits-all solutions,
|
||
|
|
like arbitrary social distancing dimensions,
|
||
|
|
lead many people to become suspicious and consider riskier behavior.
|
||
|
|
I do agree with the earlier comment about using
|
||
|
|
I feel or I believe language.
|
||
|
|
That tends to be a pinion.
|
||
|
|
A shell on risk analysis would be very beneficial,
|
||
|
|
just in general would be very beneficial,
|
||
|
|
because it's a tough thing to get your head round
|
||
|
|
and humans aren't incredibly bad at it.
|
||
|
|
Indeed.
|
||
|
|
So I replied to EHFF, comment number three,
|
||
|
|
where it made a point about the spike protein.
|
||
|
|
So I said, in general viruses break in in quotes to cells
|
||
|
|
in order to use the replication machinery to make more viruses.
|
||
|
|
In this case of SARS-CoV-2,
|
||
|
|
a spike protein is part of the virus that is used to break in.
|
||
|
|
It's not dangerous in itself.
|
||
|
|
It's part of the toolkit this virus uses to gain control of cells
|
||
|
|
and make more viruses.
|
||
|
|
In order for the human immune system to fight against the foreign chemical
|
||
|
|
or antigen, usually a protein of some kind,
|
||
|
|
since living things use proteins as building blocks,
|
||
|
|
it needs to be exposed to the antigen and build antibodies
|
||
|
|
and other immune responses.
|
||
|
|
Many of the vaccines use methods of delivering or generating
|
||
|
|
the spike protein in order to teach,
|
||
|
|
in quotes, the immune system what to be alert to.
|
||
|
|
Some use killed viruses instead,
|
||
|
|
but none of these are in use in the USA and Europe to my knowledge.
|
||
|
|
I think Russia and other parts of the world use that stuff.
|
||
|
|
So vaccines are not inherently damaging as you state.
|
||
|
|
They cause the immune system to react,
|
||
|
|
which is the point in this can result in soreness at the injection.
|
||
|
|
So fevers, eggs and similar symptoms, yes.
|
||
|
|
And a proactive shock can result from an allergic reaction
|
||
|
|
to the vaccine itself,
|
||
|
|
as it can from peanuts, eggs, insect bites,
|
||
|
|
seafood, for example.
|
||
|
|
In the UK, as I said in the show,
|
||
|
|
we are asked to wait for 15 minutes after our vaccination
|
||
|
|
in case such an allergic reaction is triggered
|
||
|
|
and there are medics nearby to deal with any such emergencies.
|
||
|
|
Oh, that's what that's all about.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
||
|
|
They do actually ask you if you have any allergies,
|
||
|
|
but I don't think the majority of the current virus vaccines
|
||
|
|
are contain things which are likely to trigger allergic reactions.
|
||
|
|
Unlike the flu virus, for example,
|
||
|
|
for the vaccine, I keep forgetting these words,
|
||
|
|
mixed, which is made in eggs
|
||
|
|
and therefore can trigger egg allergies.
|
||
|
|
Do you want to do the next one?
|
||
|
|
I'm not sure I do it.
|
||
|
|
I'm happy to do the next one, if you like.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, because probably against the pronounced words
|
||
|
|
like the very luck list in Muni Muni.
|
||
|
|
I'm not guaranteeing, I'm not guaranteeing.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, this is a response to Brian and Ohio
|
||
|
|
who made comment number five about risk.
|
||
|
|
From my point of view, Dr. Fauci is a skilled
|
||
|
|
virologist and immunologist.
|
||
|
|
I've heard him on virology podcasts long before COVID-19
|
||
|
|
and found him very impressive as a scientist
|
||
|
|
and as a human being.
|
||
|
|
You refer to risk analysis and you're right.
|
||
|
|
We didn't deal much with this subject in our show.
|
||
|
|
You write that the risk individuals are willing to take
|
||
|
|
and I often see this point being made.
|
||
|
|
The point made less often is the risk each person poses to others
|
||
|
|
unwillingness to avoid crowds to consider physical distancing
|
||
|
|
or to contesting the need for a mask
|
||
|
|
as stance is taken in relation to the objectors risk.
|
||
|
|
The risk to others seem to be disregarded
|
||
|
|
or given very low priority.
|
||
|
|
Okay, the next day we had operator with
|
||
|
|
I talk about converting Hitchpier audio to text and tagging.
|
||
|
|
Wow, this blew my mind.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely awesome because this would be very, very good
|
||
|
|
for doing the show notes, etc, etc, etc.
|
||
|
|
And operator had a comment there.
|
||
|
|
An example script I updated much script
|
||
|
|
which mostly works monkey farm names.
|
||
|
|
And he gives a link to the text.
|
||
|
|
I haven't actually looked at that.
|
||
|
|
I have to admit.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, just get me.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, because I'm sure it's on my list.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too, me too.
|
||
|
|
Oh, it's been on my list for a while actually for
|
||
|
|
what nearly 10 years to find some way of doing speech to text
|
||
|
|
for Hitchpier, which I imagine is doable.
|
||
|
|
But then he also does going to more valuable how
|
||
|
|
the show itself is definitely worth the listen
|
||
|
|
and if you're relatively short show,
|
||
|
|
but it's definitely worth the listen.
|
||
|
|
Like how useful is it to have 15,000 links
|
||
|
|
to the word they or and or, you know, stuff like that?
|
||
|
|
So yeah, I definitely enjoyed this show.
|
||
|
|
As a matter of fact, I've actually tried to use speech to text
|
||
|
|
to do my show notes or to get a transcription.
|
||
|
|
And I think that would be great.
|
||
|
|
That's the one thing that I've actually sort of slowed down
|
||
|
|
some of my shows in the past is I always wanted
|
||
|
|
this sort of perfect transcription to include.
|
||
|
|
And then, you know, trying to, I'm not going to just sit there
|
||
|
|
and transcribe my own, it's just too much.
|
||
|
|
But so it would be great if we could sort of start a project
|
||
|
|
maybe on the side to maybe work through that,
|
||
|
|
particularly with like you say the tagging,
|
||
|
|
but even just going back and getting old
|
||
|
|
transcription to shows.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yep.
|
||
|
|
Improving the show notes in general.
|
||
|
|
I don't think it needs to be necessarily transcriptions
|
||
|
|
for a lot of shows.
|
||
|
|
For what works best for me is, you know,
|
||
|
|
just having bullet points of the topics
|
||
|
|
with a short summary and a link.
|
||
|
|
So I think Dave, you do a best with your shows
|
||
|
|
having a full transcription,
|
||
|
|
but then having the summary on the main page.
|
||
|
|
But we're not all Dave.
|
||
|
|
I just think in terms of notes,
|
||
|
|
notes are worrying my head and I want to write them down.
|
||
|
|
Even though they sort of a bit of a bludgeoned
|
||
|
|
for for people, I think sometimes it's just the way my brain works.
|
||
|
|
Now, I agree.
|
||
|
|
I don't think we really need transcriptions.
|
||
|
|
You can definitely tell if you look at my shows,
|
||
|
|
like which shows I wrote out and then just recorded from the notes
|
||
|
|
and then which shows with all the ums and odds
|
||
|
|
in them that I've, you know,
|
||
|
|
been part of.
|
||
|
|
Okay, the next show is Black Cornel's Journey
|
||
|
|
into Technology Episode Two,
|
||
|
|
where he struggles with Windows.
|
||
|
|
This was quite interesting.
|
||
|
|
Yes, he's doing a lovely job here.
|
||
|
|
I'm really impressed with his journey
|
||
|
|
and the way he's explaining it.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, early experience of that Windows XP
|
||
|
|
I wrote and he hates it.
|
||
|
|
I think his approach into computers in general
|
||
|
|
is a bit, is a bit unique.
|
||
|
|
I'm going to say odd, but I don't mean odd.
|
||
|
|
I mean, unique.
|
||
|
|
I think Platoon has has a new world order
|
||
|
|
where people write in about their way they can to Linux
|
||
|
|
and this is definitely combining our own
|
||
|
|
how you're going to detect with the emails coming in
|
||
|
|
to Platoon show.
|
||
|
|
This is definitely the most unique way of coming in,
|
||
|
|
like literally ones and zeros
|
||
|
|
for the assembly language.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, that's impressive, isn't it?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I've been enjoying taking the journey with them.
|
||
|
|
Now, the following day, I was a show
|
||
|
|
about how would people know it's that role?
|
||
|
|
Wait, Geeks SD for System Disk?
|
||
|
|
How the hell do you get Geeks SD?
|
||
|
|
G-U-I-X.
|
||
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
||
|
|
Let's see how you did that Geeks.
|
||
|
|
It is French.
|
||
|
|
I had to look it up and listen a couple times,
|
||
|
|
but it's a French distribution.
|
||
|
|
It was started originally.
|
||
|
|
I can't, I don't have the details off the top of my head,
|
||
|
|
but it is pronounced Geeks.
|
||
|
|
I've verified that multiple times.
|
||
|
|
And in this show, you go through what can only be described
|
||
|
|
as the trials and tribulations of installing and installing it on the Mac Mini.
|
||
|
|
And I really, really enjoy the show because I have
|
||
|
|
gone through this so many times with distributions.
|
||
|
|
And you look it up and then somebody goes,
|
||
|
|
yeah, you just installed this and I did this
|
||
|
|
and I installed it in 10 minutes later up and running.
|
||
|
|
Your experience installing stuff
|
||
|
|
is my default experience when I sit down in front of a computer.
|
||
|
|
And I have a Mac here that I got from work where I'm trying to install Linux
|
||
|
|
and it's exactly exactly the same pain torture and torment
|
||
|
|
that I've been going through.
|
||
|
|
But at least you had the tenacity to stay with it.
|
||
|
|
Well, we haven't quite mastered it,
|
||
|
|
but I'm glad that it was enjoyable and not triggering for you, Ken.
|
||
|
|
Not at all.
|
||
|
|
It was like great, there's somebody else out there who's going through this
|
||
|
|
and well, hopefully there'll be a successful follow-up story at some point in the future.
|
||
|
|
Two years from now.
|
||
|
|
Why geeks, why why this particular system run?
|
||
|
|
No doubt you'll cover that in another episode, Dave.
|
||
|
|
I could do that.
|
||
|
|
The brief answer is I've always liked
|
||
|
|
been intrigued by Guile, which is sort of what they base the language in the background
|
||
|
|
they're using, which is a scheme language.
|
||
|
|
And I like the idea of sort of the reproducible package builds and things like that.
|
||
|
|
So I've been trying to get into that more.
|
||
|
|
So it's just sort of a project that I was like, well, I need a project where I can
|
||
|
|
I can use it on a regular basis because like when I installed it in the VM, it went easily and I've
|
||
|
|
you know loaded a web browser and the desktop and I've played with it a little bit.
|
||
|
|
But like I haven't forced myself to either use it as my daily driver.
|
||
|
|
So I was just trying to look for a project I wanted to turn it into a backup server.
|
||
|
|
So then that would give me a reason to keep like learning more and how to do things with it more efficiently.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah. Well, it certainly appreciate some shows on what you're finding about it.
|
||
|
|
I think Clackair has done some work in this area.
|
||
|
|
I remember him talking about it.
|
||
|
|
It was when I first came across the pronunciation as a skeeks.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, I don't remember exactly what he's done though.
|
||
|
|
And I think this show is a good example to people that we don't always want to hear about
|
||
|
|
the successes. Only hear about the failures. They're as useful.
|
||
|
|
Not saying that your show was a failure or anything, but
|
||
|
|
running into trouble, running into difficulty, that is as useful.
|
||
|
|
And that's arguably where we as hackers spend 90% of our time living in
|
||
|
|
failures, project failures and stuff. So let's hear about them.
|
||
|
|
Because if you get stuck at something, maybe somebody else knows something about that
|
||
|
|
and we have follow-up shows and the project actually gets finished.
|
||
|
|
All right, that's sort of my feeling for when I went ahead and
|
||
|
|
didn't just put that in the bin.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, cool.
|
||
|
|
The following day, we had Linux in laws, the Halloween documents.
|
||
|
|
And this is where monochromic and the guys go through a little bit of history of
|
||
|
|
Microsoft and school versus IBM, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
|
||
|
|
Which is interesting to tell you.
|
||
|
|
You've been, I think I was aware of some of this, but just hearing a different take on it
|
||
|
|
is quite interesting.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I'm always impressed with sort of their either direct knowledge of things or
|
||
|
|
what they sort of seem to be able to put together.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, the first, I think one of the earliest unixes that we installed at my work was
|
||
|
|
what was at that point called Coldeera, Coldeera, Coldeera Linux, right?
|
||
|
|
And that was, somebody was, yeah.
|
||
|
|
And then that became the Skow Unix, I think, didn't it?
|
||
|
|
Skow bought them out or something like that.
|
||
|
|
I don't remember, before there was much in the way of a good Linux system to install,
|
||
|
|
which we did as soon as it became available.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's fascinating what's been going on there,
|
||
|
|
and all the strange politics behind it.
|
||
|
|
And the next day, we had internal commands more about
|
||
|
|
dust, internal commands by Olga, an interesting walk down memory lane,
|
||
|
|
bit like the Linux and Marshall.
|
||
|
|
No comments on this.
|
||
|
|
It's really interesting.
|
||
|
|
I never used dust much.
|
||
|
|
We were not really able into PCs at my work as we had.
|
||
|
|
So minis and mainframes to play with.
|
||
|
|
So we were avoiding it for a number of years.
|
||
|
|
Then we had to fall into it big time.
|
||
|
|
I remember really used dust all that much.
|
||
|
|
It's quite interesting to hear.
|
||
|
|
I used it a lot.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
So a lot of this brings a lot of, yeah, this, this series is definitely triggering me for sure.
|
||
|
|
The next day, we had brick link by operator, and I had
|
||
|
|
noted what this was going to be about until I heard it.
|
||
|
|
But an excellent little show, a nice one there for my,
|
||
|
|
anything that is of interest, tackers, muttle.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, it's very much a hackery thing, isn't it?
|
||
|
|
But you wouldn't automatically put that in the list, I guess,
|
||
|
|
if you were making a list of hacker-related things, but I know so many people who would be
|
||
|
|
very much into, who are very much into this, including me at various times.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, it was fascinating.
|
||
|
|
Yep, I enjoyed it myself, and I really loved the photo we included on the show note.
|
||
|
|
Yes, and now everybody who was listening to this has gone,
|
||
|
|
what the hell was that sure about?
|
||
|
|
Well, you're just going to have to download it and listen to it.
|
||
|
|
Yes, he threw me by sending a photo, but I was able to use my,
|
||
|
|
he's my script that I've written to handle it.
|
||
|
|
And it seems to work, okay, it's quite a big picture,
|
||
|
|
so you need to click on it to see it, it's full glory.
|
||
|
|
Now, if we were checking for somebody spanning the network,
|
||
|
|
it would be somebody who submitted three shows in the one month.
|
||
|
|
Who could that be?
|
||
|
|
That really wasn't my intention.
|
||
|
|
If there wasn't a call for shows.
|
||
|
|
There was a call for shows.
|
||
|
|
We were very low on shows.
|
||
|
|
We still are very low on shows, and could people please send in some shows?
|
||
|
|
Thank you.
|
||
|
|
But this is about the battery test for not the neuron, but the Newton battery test.
|
||
|
|
Yes, and this, this you can put in the success category.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
Very good.
|
||
|
|
Yes, it was good to hear.
|
||
|
|
Okay, let's move on to the next show by black kernel.
|
||
|
|
Rust 101, hello world, episode one.
|
||
|
|
This is a low world and where he does a hello world program in Rust
|
||
|
|
and discusses the program in general and macros and different functions.
|
||
|
|
I'm getting a lot from the series already, and we're only at episode one.
|
||
|
|
Yes, it's interesting to hear these sorts of analyses of programming languages.
|
||
|
|
Some of you wonder what the thinking was behind them.
|
||
|
|
You know, why is it ended up where it is?
|
||
|
|
But it's I'm sure that some of those answers will come to light in the future,
|
||
|
|
or it can be found elsewhere, but it's really good to get this sort of stuff I find.
|
||
|
|
And no comments on that one.
|
||
|
|
So the next day, we had a call for shows open, and I have a few of these knocking round,
|
||
|
|
was an engineering notation show, where we run through common engineering
|
||
|
|
notations used for ham radio.
|
||
|
|
Also, no comments.
|
||
|
|
But nicely done.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's good.
|
||
|
|
We need this sort of stuff.
|
||
|
|
It's so easy to forget what a pico is and stuff.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's stuff that you, if you don't know it, and you never took the time to learn it,
|
||
|
|
this is just an absolute basic minimum stuff that you need to know for ham radio.
|
||
|
|
So if you're ever considering, you also use it in daily life, but this is actually useful.
|
||
|
|
So what I want to do is, and other people, other ham radio people, please get involved here,
|
||
|
|
is I want to have these shows like the one that Platoon did with the NATO alphabet.
|
||
|
|
Stuff that you need to know, you just need to learn it.
|
||
|
|
There's no way around it.
|
||
|
|
If you read it over a few times, it'll come to you and just use it in your daily life,
|
||
|
|
and then you'll see it everywhere.
|
||
|
|
And if you're sitting down to do your exam, which will be different in every country,
|
||
|
|
there's some standardization in Europe, but when you're sitting down to do your exam,
|
||
|
|
you know that you've got at least 10 questions in the bag by the time we've done some of these
|
||
|
|
things. You love 10 questions already in the bag, and you can move on to the harder stuff then.
|
||
|
|
So the following day, we had podcast recommendation, IBM and Quantum Computing by Archer72.
|
||
|
|
If only he was available to talk about the show.
|
||
|
|
And I have another chance to listen to this, yes.
|
||
|
|
This one fell foul of our Creative Commons thing.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, the show itself is not Creative Commons, so we can't redistribute it.
|
||
|
|
I haven't had a chance to actually listen to the podcast he suggested, but I do appreciate
|
||
|
|
the heads up, and I did a nice job of summarizing what was going on in the podcast, and
|
||
|
|
definitely sounds like an interesting one to put into my pod catcher.
|
||
|
|
Exactly.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, same here.
|
||
|
|
And the notes are very impressive.
|
||
|
|
I was stunned by these notes as I was processing them.
|
||
|
|
There's some really good information there.
|
||
|
|
Speaking of Harm Radio, if you are doing Harm Radio stuff, all about Circuits.com will appear
|
||
|
|
in your searches sooner or later.
|
||
|
|
Carry on Dave, I'll cut you off.
|
||
|
|
No, no, it's fine, it's, I wasn't fully aware of how far quantum computing has got.
|
||
|
|
So it's quite surprising, but it's actually a thing that you can go and use on the on the net.
|
||
|
|
But yeah, I'm not really in this, I'm not really up to date with this sort of stuff,
|
||
|
|
but it's good to be laid into these sorts of things.
|
||
|
|
I shall download this one and listen to it next week when I'm on the
|
||
|
|
on the train now that I have to go back to work unless the change stay COVID rules again,
|
||
|
|
and I have to stay at home, but we'll see.
|
||
|
|
So there are 16 comments on seven previous shows. Can people stop please sending in comments
|
||
|
|
and start sending in shows? Good Lord, placky of all people placky.
|
||
|
|
No, it wasn't from placky, it was from, oh no, it was from placky.
|
||
|
|
About a show from placky.
|
||
|
|
Okay, I read the comment. The show was batch co proc the future 2009 is here by placky,
|
||
|
|
and the comment was placky responding to your comment Dave, real world use, thanks Dave.
|
||
|
|
Now go out, this is a quote, now go out and play with this and come back with an example of how
|
||
|
|
this is actually useful in the real world and submitted show. Dave Morris did so in HBR 3413
|
||
|
|
with a link, even though he concludes the features awkward compared to alternatives,
|
||
|
|
it's great to have a less contrived example.
|
||
|
|
I'm glad he enjoyed it. So next one is the show sent in by Daniel Person, who was,
|
||
|
|
did he actually send in the audio of the, I like that the boat is stuck, I can't remember.
|
||
|
|
He did, yes. So it was kind of funny because the links that we're using refer to the podcast,
|
||
|
|
and then I don't need the comment is from the person. So Daniel had done, I like that the
|
||
|
|
boat is stuck, he had read that. And that was another one that was that we had the creative
|
||
|
|
comments issue, wasn't creative comments when we started, but became creative comments as a result
|
||
|
|
of Daniel's show, which is awesome. It's a wonderful article, and so the comment from
|
||
|
|
Windigo, who we haven't heard from for a while, is amazing. Through various hardware and software
|
||
|
|
calamities, my podcast has been out of reach more than six months. Just recently, I've been
|
||
|
|
able to remedy it, and this was the first HBR episode in my queue that I was able to listen to.
|
||
|
|
Oh, how I've missed HBR. Thank you for the thoroughly enjoyable episode.
|
||
|
|
Excellent, excellent, excellent. Okay, so the comment is for episode 3414, critical thinking,
|
||
|
|
may make you critical of the COVID crisis. The comment is by E8HFF, comment sense.
|
||
|
|
How's the done an episode? Yes, let me just check that.
|
||
|
|
Don't believe so. Anyway, carry on and I'll get an answer when you're finished.
|
||
|
|
Okay, the comment by E8HFF, comment sense. This is a perfect example of common sense thrown out
|
||
|
|
the window, a bayonet the world today. You should never dispose of common sense and replace it
|
||
|
|
with mathematics. Mathematics and when used is statistical pursuit can only attempt to simulate
|
||
|
|
scenarios from data supplied or framed pictures of their very construction. Common sense is science.
|
||
|
|
That have observed commonalities and events, even as labeled as anecdotal setting conversation
|
||
|
|
and wise tales at set. Maths are not advantageous as you are complicating a situation of natural
|
||
|
|
body design. That of expelling toxins through the nose and hoping to breathe in cleaner air.
|
||
|
|
Maths can questionally increase viral bacterial load, therefore creating spreaders.
|
||
|
|
With the higher loads comes elevated depths and ailments, creating erroneous lethargy,
|
||
|
|
creating erroneous lethargy statistics for any said virus. That can result in political
|
||
|
|
overreach oversight as seen in COVID-19. The benefit of reducing virus particles with a mask
|
||
|
|
is outweighed by the damages they cause, common sense. No, you don't need a PubMed article to
|
||
|
|
comprehend that. Also, consider some people correctly breathe through their filtering nose
|
||
|
|
and other incorrectly through their mouth. Maths complicate breathing for those,
|
||
|
|
properly using nose and a spouse mouth use. On weather seasons have an effect on viruses and
|
||
|
|
contagion. You don't need to search for lab papers on cold weather and viruses' susceptibility
|
||
|
|
to disprove summer protections. Common sense should tell you that viruses are naturally
|
||
|
|
of the body via temperature. Therefore, summer can only assist in raising the body's heat
|
||
|
|
when infected, causing fast mitigation. This includes hot baths. You would also easily say
|
||
|
|
moisture assist in viruses' survivability in the environment, making cold moist weather
|
||
|
|
disadvantage health. Also, considering your stance is based on trust to politician and science
|
||
|
|
workers in industry, that is unquestionably a flawed stance. So, I wrote in response to that
|
||
|
|
a comment which I said, I assume you're commenting on show 3445, which is a response to this show 3414.
|
||
|
|
You are of the opinion that common sense outweighs the knowledge achieved through the scientific
|
||
|
|
method. History seems to disagree. The common sense prior to the discovery of germs and
|
||
|
|
quotes resulted in the death of many who would have survived if hand washing would be more common,
|
||
|
|
for example. There are huge numbers of similar examples. You make an assertion about masks,
|
||
|
|
which I disagree with. You assert that your view outweighs the research we cited in show 3445,
|
||
|
|
yet you're only support for this is that you stated this seems typical of the current trend
|
||
|
|
to put forward opinion, the superior to fact. You mistake trust in the scientific method and
|
||
|
|
the results of this method produces. In comparison to those who misrepresent this method and these
|
||
|
|
results, their own agendas and profits. Agreed that many politicians, industrialists and even some
|
||
|
|
dishonest scientists are known to do this. However, where human beings may sometimes be unreliable,
|
||
|
|
but properly conducted and peer-reviewed scientific method is not.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, and I think that supports Brian and Ohio's statement there that that is not about the
|
||
|
|
dishonest scientists and stuff. It's not always clear. Just because the scientists, it's not always
|
||
|
|
clear that when the scientific method is not followed, that doesn't mean the scientific method itself
|
||
|
|
is not valid. It is that it has not been followed correctly. You got to make sure that everything is
|
||
|
|
correctly peer-reviewed and that they, you know, you're not just all the other things that can go
|
||
|
|
around with sampling of methods of science, but it is double-blind tested that the group was
|
||
|
|
large enough that it was covered your statistical basis. So it's in itself adhering to the
|
||
|
|
scientific method is quite difficult and should always, that should always be challenged.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, Black Kernel says, rust 101 or no. I really need to redo this. Rust 101 Episode 0,
|
||
|
|
what is tarnishing by Black Kernel? Hunky Medoo had a comment, another fun way to learn rust,
|
||
|
|
and that is docs.rustlang.org, stable, rust by example.
|
||
|
|
And that has got the hello world program in there, which is types. Oh, yeah, that's kind of cool.
|
||
|
|
Oh, does that mean Hunky is a rust person? Does that mean Hunky could do some shows?
|
||
|
|
Oh, yes, absolutely. I'm sure that's the case. Go for it. So shall I do the next one?
|
||
|
|
Yep, you. Yep. So the next one is in response to living in the terminal by Black Kernel,
|
||
|
|
and it's from Gumnos, who talks of using C to pause in CMU's, not sure if you can understand,
|
||
|
|
but it's a music player, isn't it? The controls in CMUS are laid out like a traditional VCR
|
||
|
|
struck tape player from left to right in the bottom of the corner of a traditional Quarty keyboard,
|
||
|
|
and Z is previous X is play, C is pause, V is stop, and V is next, and these put rather nice
|
||
|
|
mini code symbols in there just to make it, to make it nice to to read. And I'm amazed that it
|
||
|
|
won't. I can't say it helps me remember much, but at least that's the reasoning behind the
|
||
|
|
non-minimonic keys. I didn't know this. That is excellent to know.
|
||
|
|
Now we just need little stickers to put on our keyboards. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that would be nice.
|
||
|
|
As available in the HBR shop. Okay, I will take the first of the next one.
|
||
|
|
So these are comments on episode 3433. A squirrel's thoughts about RMS by Zinfloor2.
|
||
|
|
Comment 1, 5DIN, Yikes. Moose to legalize pedophilia in Europe. Where did you hear of that from,
|
||
|
|
Breitbart? I live here. I should have heard about something like that. But so far,
|
||
|
|
everything goes in the opposite direction, towards more child protection, and there's even some
|
||
|
|
discussion about raising the age of consent. It's been 14 since the concept existed, which was
|
||
|
|
way before even you were around. As for cigarettes and beer on airplanes, your freedom stops were my
|
||
|
|
right to begin, and I feel I do have the right not to be covered in drug gunk and beer. Carbonated
|
||
|
|
drink don't work too well in low cabin pressure. I would also add that being able to get a gun
|
||
|
|
in your luggage at 12. It was a story. It was a story. For sure. Who's doing the next one?
|
||
|
|
Okay, good archer 72 says good call can. This was a good call putting the slammer on this episode.
|
||
|
|
There was about one minute in that there were facts about RMS, then dissolved. This was one in which
|
||
|
|
I could not finish as I am a parent like a lot of us in our little hacker space. I find the
|
||
|
|
subject of feed affiliate disgusting and tumult and I would imagine no appropriate here.
|
||
|
|
So Zen Flota comments, we're applying to Ben, who's comment one. Frames legalized pedophilia,
|
||
|
|
sea article. Frames becomes the latest EU nation to legalize pedophilia and it gives a link.
|
||
|
|
Frames follows a similar move in Germany to legalize pedophilia and age of consent to be 15 years
|
||
|
|
of age. Hey, four comment fours in Flota 2 reply to archer 72. I made the title of the show,
|
||
|
|
a squirrel's thoughts about RMS and the subject line reads RMS and the subject of freedom specifically
|
||
|
|
because I wanted to cover RMS's free speech rights being rejected by a community and wanted to
|
||
|
|
talk about that community, the actions and causing damage to Richard Matthew Stalman's person.
|
||
|
|
The show should you have listened to it all the way. It was not about pedophilia explicitly,
|
||
|
|
but rather about the violation of RMS's rights as a person under the law.
|
||
|
|
And I commented on this show and as you know, as you know, I tend not to comment politically on
|
||
|
|
shows, but this one I felt I had to because there was comment discussion in the background where
|
||
|
|
I was contacted and people were assuming my silence was approval on the show. So I placed this
|
||
|
|
comment into the show, which is disappointed with the show. I added a warning following a complaint
|
||
|
|
from a listener. Our guidelines are if you feel that your show will be considered in offense of
|
||
|
|
in every region of the world, then you can signal that when you upload the show. This was not done
|
||
|
|
in this case. Having now listened to the show myself, I want everyone to know that I personally
|
||
|
|
do not in any way endorse or support the opinions in the show. I am very disappointed with the show
|
||
|
|
and I'm sure Hitchbier would appreciate shows that covered these contentious and probably I
|
||
|
|
should have also included the word sensitive topics, provided they are handled with care,
|
||
|
|
compassion and without insulting anyone. So comment six is from Bob who
|
||
|
|
entitles it deliberately misleading. I thought HBL was dedicated to sharing knowledge in quotes.
|
||
|
|
So why is this host distorting the truth? And he includes a URL, factcheck.org with the
|
||
|
|
type of putting in front of Francis consent in issue into context. Question, did Francis pass a
|
||
|
|
law saying having sex with a child is okay? Answer no. Country already didn't have a legal
|
||
|
|
consent age. The new law makes it easy to file rate charges against adults who have sex with
|
||
|
|
those 15 or younger. Sorry. Comment seven, this is then floated or two. It's a reply to Ken Fallon.
|
||
|
|
Ken, I flagged the show using the supplied is flag as explicit switch which is provided on the
|
||
|
|
website. It seems I don't understand the difference in what you're requesting and this switch for
|
||
|
|
explicit content. Offences in the eyes of the beholder, frankly anyone can be offended by anything
|
||
|
|
Ken. The term offended is highly subjective and easily pooled. If you feel the show is too much
|
||
|
|
of a burden for you then by all means to lead the show. If however you want to keep the show to
|
||
|
|
use as an example to others then keep the show. Either way I promise you that I will not be offended,
|
||
|
|
not offended in any way. It's just the show Ken. Some kind of emergency I'm not quite sure of.
|
||
|
|
And Ben says in reply to number four, better late than ever I guess. The source you give is
|
||
|
|
question at best. As Bob pointed out France doesn't have an age of consent so the law actually added
|
||
|
|
one. Even though it is defined weaker than in the US. As for Germany as I said it already is 14
|
||
|
|
and won't change because 14 is also the start of the limited legal liability. The Germans generally
|
||
|
|
don't consider the idea of no sex until marriage and teenagers shouldn't have to go to jail for
|
||
|
|
trying themselves out and brackets rape is a different story because the lack of consent. There is
|
||
|
|
no recent move and no movement and the cited attorney doesn't even exist which should be a red flag
|
||
|
|
no matter of the story's content. Oh I don't know if I can read any of these comments guys.
|
||
|
|
COVID and science listen I'm just going to skip over them please please if you're interested in
|
||
|
|
this read them if you're not don't. There was an email possible calls and solution to subscriber
|
||
|
|
attrition which is an interesting thread which I want to devote some time to but if any of the
|
||
|
|
rest you feel we should read the comments about COVID feel free to jump in now. I think we can
|
||
|
|
just let people read through those comments themselves. Yep they're there and available so
|
||
|
|
that's the easiest way. Then and then I replied community news is putting you to sleep I think
|
||
|
|
that's interesting but so I find that use case a bit odd intro an outro being a bit loud is a
|
||
|
|
fair point we can fix the audio I can try fixing this on the community news which is this one
|
||
|
|
yeah and if people want to help out with the quality of audio on HBR there's a genuine request here
|
||
|
|
we have a few future feed on the syndication page where we post shows too so just as the as the
|
||
|
|
show comes in they will be posted to the future feed and then you can listen to the shows as they
|
||
|
|
come in so that's useful for people who want to hear shows straight away so it's possible that
|
||
|
|
after a backlog has built up or called for shows you might get 20 shows in one day and then
|
||
|
|
nothing for the next two weeks and and if you do that then the shows are officially posted to HBR
|
||
|
|
and then you can listen to them and that's when I do the quality control on the shows myself so that
|
||
|
|
I can listen to them then and if there's any issues with audio we at least have a fighting chance
|
||
|
|
of getting fixed before it hits the main feed so it's another replacement for the main feed it's
|
||
|
|
for tailpots so if people want to do that they can do it I don't personally think that they
|
||
|
|
people are unsubscribing because of the quality the audio cause traditionally the audio has been
|
||
|
|
crap has been spotty at best from the beginning but we should have a look at the theme after
|
||
|
|
doing tags on summary I can attest to that some of the sound quality has it's not the best
|
||
|
|
tis true tis true yeah great so somebody want to do summarized tattoos words and after reading out
|
||
|
|
a lot of those comments we've decided to do a separate show because we're short of shows
|
||
|
|
reading the comments on this discussion because it pertains to the intro and outro and it's
|
||
|
|
and the branding of HBR and a music list podcast so let's do that
|
||
|
|
so was there anything else in the comment thread no no so after this show if you have time Dave
|
||
|
|
or the rest then we can read the comments and submit it as another show coming out this month
|
||
|
|
or we'll do everybody's comments and give it the justice that it deserves yeah I don't have time
|
||
|
|
just now but we can pick another time sure no problem I would be interested in doing that with you
|
||
|
|
great great that would be awesome yep yep and we have the calendar of events and you want to do
|
||
|
|
the other business please so yes we on our aob the final bit first comment is that we're still
|
||
|
|
pumping shows older shows up to archive.org and I've managed to do 70 this month
|
||
|
|
which that should come up at the end but then might so then moving on to the tags and summaries
|
||
|
|
and this is a time for cheering and yes the two main players right here so we had 38 shows were done
|
||
|
|
in the last month and Archie 72 and Ron were the contributors didn't do any myself those
|
||
|
|
guys were just going at it like there was no tomorrow and it was amazing thank you so much
|
||
|
|
I'm having difficulties clapping and pressing push to talk at the one time so in search of
|
||
|
|
your own virtual clap there consider one hand clapping and a little bit so yeah I put the note
|
||
|
|
in here to say right there now more no more shows that need summaries or tags and we've had a bunch
|
||
|
|
of contributors to this project over the several years I don't actually know the number of years
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
