This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4456 from Monday the 1st of September 2025.
|
||
|
|
Today's show is entitled HBR Community News for August 2025.
|
||
|
|
It is part of the series HBR Community News.
|
||
|
|
It is hosted by HBR volunteers and is about 75 minutes long.
|
||
|
|
It carries an explicit flag.
|
||
|
|
The summary is…
|
||
|
|
HBR volunteers Scoti, Kevin, and can't talk about shows released and comments
|
||
|
|
posted in August 2025.
|
||
|
|
Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
Joining me this evening live from the U.S. of Freedom is…
|
||
|
|
Scotty.
|
||
|
|
And up there from the Highlands, from the Lowlands to the Highlands is…
|
||
|
|
Welcome back, Kevin, I hope you had a good holiday vacation.
|
||
|
|
A thoroughly great holiday.
|
||
|
|
The biggest issue was coming back, I came back from 40 degrees to teens and boy,
|
||
|
|
that was a culture shock to the system.
|
||
|
|
I bet it was, I bet it was.
|
||
|
|
However, this is the HBR Community News for August 2025.
|
||
|
|
And HBR is a community podcast where the shows are sent in by the listeners.
|
||
|
|
That means that if you want this project to continue,
|
||
|
|
you need to take an active role in that by helping the project out in some way.
|
||
|
|
And the best way that you can do that is pick up a microphone and go,
|
||
|
|
hello, my name is… say your name.
|
||
|
|
I heard about HBR from there and this is how I got into tech.
|
||
|
|
Can be your first episode and then we'll take it from there.
|
||
|
|
This, what you're listening to now, is a one of the shows done by the volunteers.
|
||
|
|
Everybody on this podcast is a volunteer.
|
||
|
|
And we discuss the news that has been going on in the HBR community.
|
||
|
|
We make sure to go through every show so that there's some positive feedback.
|
||
|
|
And remember, the number one thing that you can do to help out,
|
||
|
|
if you don't do a show is to leave some positive feedback.
|
||
|
|
It is the currency by which we pay our house, as I've said.
|
||
|
|
Multiple occasions.
|
||
|
|
We go through those shows.
|
||
|
|
We read the comments that have been left.
|
||
|
|
And we discuss anything that's been on the mailing list,
|
||
|
|
which is the governance body.
|
||
|
|
And I bring you up to speed on anything else that you need to be aware of
|
||
|
|
with regard to the HBR project.
|
||
|
|
Do they miss anything, Chaps?
|
||
|
|
No, that was a very thorough introduction.
|
||
|
|
Good job.
|
||
|
|
It's almost like I've done this 250 times.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, the first thing that we do,
|
||
|
|
and let's give this one the honor to Kevin,
|
||
|
|
as you've been away on holidays, to welcome in new hosts.
|
||
|
|
Yes, thank you.
|
||
|
|
Right, so we have a big thanks to our new host, Manon.
|
||
|
|
So that was it.
|
||
|
|
One new host this month.
|
||
|
|
Excellent, but not new to HBR.
|
||
|
|
If you're the keen listeners among you,
|
||
|
|
we'll recognize her voice from the outro of every episode.
|
||
|
|
So there you go.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, she's the expense of AI you were referring to.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I think she finds HBR rather expensive,
|
||
|
|
given the amount of time and money that she asked about into it.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, time that I take up and money that she puts in.
|
||
|
|
But she's very good about this.
|
||
|
|
So that's everything.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely, yes.
|
||
|
|
Exactly.
|
||
|
|
And trying to convince her to nip over to
|
||
|
|
on camp next year.
|
||
|
|
But it's a bit of an awkward time.
|
||
|
|
A lot of people can't make it, which is a bit sad.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I'm totally gutted.
|
||
|
|
So, and I'm very sad on that.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Going to events promoting HBR at set events,
|
||
|
|
either by holding a booth or interviewing in the corridors
|
||
|
|
and given talks or writing articles in professional magazines,
|
||
|
|
hobby magazines, that sort of stuff.
|
||
|
|
There's also a way that you can help push HBR.
|
||
|
|
We're not really looking for listeners
|
||
|
|
because there's lots of SEO stuff that we could do for that.
|
||
|
|
That's managing itself.
|
||
|
|
What we need is the one-to-one connections
|
||
|
|
to bring in new hosts.
|
||
|
|
And that's a constant thing where people eventually come to the project
|
||
|
|
to stay for a while and then leave for one reason or another
|
||
|
|
or live catches up and that's totally acceptable
|
||
|
|
and totally expected in actual fact,
|
||
|
|
because that's how life works.
|
||
|
|
So, the best thing that you can be doing to help us out
|
||
|
|
is send an initial comment on the episodes.
|
||
|
|
But also, if you can add your local hacker space in work,
|
||
|
|
talk about HBR, have it been on the tip of your tongue
|
||
|
|
that would make an excellent show for HBR
|
||
|
|
and explain what it is, tell people how easy it is to do it.
|
||
|
|
And if there is somebody with an interesting story,
|
||
|
|
take out your phone and just press record,
|
||
|
|
it's the audio will be fine and send it into us.
|
||
|
|
That's pretty much all I have to say about that, I guess.
|
||
|
|
Yes, that's actually one thing I'm been surprised at.
|
||
|
|
I mean, a lot I haven't done an interview for HBR yet
|
||
|
|
is when you actually do stick a microphone in front of people's
|
||
|
|
if you give them a bit of warning and say, can you do it?
|
||
|
|
And generally say, no, that's scary.
|
||
|
|
But put your microphone in front of them and just say,
|
||
|
|
we're just recorded for this, just give me your thoughts.
|
||
|
|
They're actually quite willing to do it most of the time.
|
||
|
|
So, yeah, don't be afraid to ask the worst they can do say no.
|
||
|
|
And you can always say, look, we can delete it at the end
|
||
|
|
if you're not happy with it.
|
||
|
|
And we, you know, all edited and sent a TA, etc, etc.
|
||
|
|
So, no barrier to entry.
|
||
|
|
Cool.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, let's mostly through the shows that we had last, last month.
|
||
|
|
And we had the first show, which was philosophy,
|
||
|
|
philosophy, philosophy, cosmology, physics.
|
||
|
|
And just what is up with Harry Larry's brain and the title,
|
||
|
|
brilliant.
|
||
|
|
Yes, I saw this one coming down and it was going,
|
||
|
|
Emmanuel Kant was an inspiring philosopher back in the 18th,
|
||
|
|
18th century.
|
||
|
|
He inspired this song.
|
||
|
|
And this was by Harry Larry, who of course
|
||
|
|
releases everything under CC,
|
||
|
|
under great commons license.
|
||
|
|
And this was no different.
|
||
|
|
It was, in fact, a bit of a discussion followed by a song.
|
||
|
|
What do you think?
|
||
|
|
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
|
||
|
|
It was, I think this was this was the first one I heard on my way back from
|
||
|
|
holiday.
|
||
|
|
And we had eight hours early.
|
||
|
|
So this one kept me going in Glasgow Airport.
|
||
|
|
So, yeah, I thought I'd really enjoyed it.
|
||
|
|
And yeah, I was actually one thing.
|
||
|
|
Is he actually going to do the whole song or not?
|
||
|
|
Or just talk about it, but no, he went full-lord.
|
||
|
|
I thought I'd really enjoyed every minute of it.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I was washing dishes when I was listening to this one.
|
||
|
|
And the song was excellent.
|
||
|
|
So thank you, Harry Larry.
|
||
|
|
I enjoyed it.
|
||
|
|
And I will be playing it again.
|
||
|
|
Excellent stuff.
|
||
|
|
Bob Jungman says in the comments,
|
||
|
|
how could playing music fit into HPR?
|
||
|
|
And when I saw this coming in on the common feed,
|
||
|
|
I couldn't read the comments because we don't want to back us.
|
||
|
|
I didn't have access, I think.
|
||
|
|
Well, good.
|
||
|
|
Now another troll on HPR, you know,
|
||
|
|
troll the discussion so we had.
|
||
|
|
But Bob says, I didn't think that playing music would fit into HPR's goals.
|
||
|
|
But Harry Larry's intro
|
||
|
|
onto phenomenology and humanology,
|
||
|
|
which I definitely killed,
|
||
|
|
was definitely of interest.
|
||
|
|
I didn't know that new monolulogy was
|
||
|
|
or even that it was a thing.
|
||
|
|
So I learned something today.
|
||
|
|
And I'm Harry Larry, a music fan anyway.
|
||
|
|
So this was a nice episode.
|
||
|
|
I do apologize for mispronouncing those words.
|
||
|
|
And Harry Larry replied to that saying,
|
||
|
|
thanks definitely outside of my plain text programs wheelhouse.
|
||
|
|
In fact, it originated as a from the archives of something
|
||
|
|
blue, musicology podcast.
|
||
|
|
But I thought cosmology, physics,
|
||
|
|
new monology, maybe this would work on hacker public radio.
|
||
|
|
And I don't think new monology is a thing.
|
||
|
|
New, new, new, my word, you're just doing so well, please.
|
||
|
|
Numerna is a thing in philosophy, as I described.
|
||
|
|
So I wrote the title of the piece as a joke,
|
||
|
|
and then that led me here.
|
||
|
|
So I guess henceforth,
|
||
|
|
new monology is a thing.
|
||
|
|
It will be cool if it was in the Oxford, English,
|
||
|
|
dictionary, you know, referring to this column,
|
||
|
|
Donnery Larry.
|
||
|
|
And they have to play this song.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely.
|
||
|
|
Then we have Paul Jay with great show.
|
||
|
|
Thanks to Harry Larry.
|
||
|
|
I enjoyed the background information.
|
||
|
|
And I love the music.
|
||
|
|
We'll be great to hear how you get into jazz improvisation.
|
||
|
|
Perhaps another show.
|
||
|
|
Thanks for sharing.
|
||
|
|
Nice one there.
|
||
|
|
See Paul Jay doing the work for us, you know, always,
|
||
|
|
always request another show.
|
||
|
|
Then we have the community news, which obviously,
|
||
|
|
without Kevin, we didn't say anything controversial.
|
||
|
|
He's always out there.
|
||
|
|
Oh, I totally spoiled it.
|
||
|
|
We could crack pop theories and stuff.
|
||
|
|
And that brings us on to one possible dish definition of hacker,
|
||
|
|
which is by Antoine.
|
||
|
|
And I realized actually thanks to former janitor Dave pointed out
|
||
|
|
that I hadn't updated the e-speak version of his name.
|
||
|
|
So that's been updated.
|
||
|
|
This is what says, love this content.
|
||
|
|
I loved listening to this podcast,
|
||
|
|
especially since I am one who loves life hacks
|
||
|
|
as well as tech hacks.
|
||
|
|
Can you do the response there, Scotty?
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
So from Antoneo,
|
||
|
|
Antone, hi, Elzbeth, I'm happy really that it was enjoyable for you.
|
||
|
|
So the following day, we had do do zero.
|
||
|
|
Episode zero in a mini series about a to do application from
|
||
|
|
Jezra.
|
||
|
|
And this is the why episode why I'm doing this.
|
||
|
|
The cold first can be found on getlap.com.
|
||
|
|
Jezra do do.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, good episode.
|
||
|
|
This one actually enjoyed when I saw first saw what the exy talking about
|
||
|
|
was thinking do do was not what I was thinking to do list.
|
||
|
|
But I was glad that that's what it is.
|
||
|
|
That's really kind of makes sense.
|
||
|
|
Oh, it makes total sense, but it was just the first thing
|
||
|
|
appulsion in my head was not a to do list.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I love this reasoning in the beginning of the show when he described how he tried
|
||
|
|
to pencil and paper method and everything and that didn't quite work out for him
|
||
|
|
and his overalls, you know, the gear and everything that he's wearing
|
||
|
|
and how they it wouldn't work in the environment that he's trying to work within.
|
||
|
|
So all of it is a big hacker themed show.
|
||
|
|
I very enjoyed it and I want to follow it through.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, and I also like the fact that he's not just creating the app there,
|
||
|
|
but he's also been proper through open source fashion,
|
||
|
|
you know, listing where it's hosted as well.
|
||
|
|
So other people can get involved.
|
||
|
|
You know, he's got the getlap page there as well in the show notes.
|
||
|
|
Brilliant.
|
||
|
|
And I'm enjoying his thought process with doing this,
|
||
|
|
that particularly I have many to do apps.
|
||
|
|
And as you say, the notebook you can never know where it is,
|
||
|
|
but you'll always know where your phone is.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely, absolutely.
|
||
|
|
Archer 72 says, I was just thinking about this.
|
||
|
|
Hello, Jezra, I was just thinking about this a few days ago in the grocery store.
|
||
|
|
Telegram has a checklist option, but of course this is a paid feature.
|
||
|
|
I am very interested in something like this that could be self-holstered,
|
||
|
|
looking forward to hearing the rest of this series from Archer 72.
|
||
|
|
And then Jezra replies with Archer 72.
|
||
|
|
Do do is a feature complete, and I'm using it in production already.
|
||
|
|
Self-hosted on digital ocean.
|
||
|
|
If you want to try it, please do and feel free to ask questions,
|
||
|
|
which will be answered in an HPR episode.
|
||
|
|
Oh, he knows how to tickle my fancy.
|
||
|
|
I'll tell you that for nothing.
|
||
|
|
You can almost hear you grinning right now.
|
||
|
|
I am actually near to you.
|
||
|
|
So moving on to the next day, which was the Thursday,
|
||
|
|
and this was the using HPR as a means to push a particular project of you.
|
||
|
|
This was the promised comments from the last episode,
|
||
|
|
which we dealt with in last month.
|
||
|
|
Somebody do torrents?
|
||
|
|
Scotty, can you do torrents?
|
||
|
|
Comment on our response.
|
||
|
|
Yes, please keep the HPR a religion-free zone.
|
||
|
|
I can.
|
||
|
|
I'd rather HPR was kept a secular place.
|
||
|
|
And I replied, please respond to the Middle East.
|
||
|
|
I posted your comment on the Middle East,
|
||
|
|
as per our apologies questions.
|
||
|
|
I proposed to discuss the Middle East,
|
||
|
|
which is open for anybody to join,
|
||
|
|
comment, and we'll get to those comments
|
||
|
|
after we go through the shows.
|
||
|
|
So the following day, we had the whole conference,
|
||
|
|
which was a quick introduction to Planet Earth.
|
||
|
|
And thank you very much to Ahuka,
|
||
|
|
who allowed his show to be moved in order to facilitate this.
|
||
|
|
We normally don't do this sort of thing,
|
||
|
|
because it really breaks or assess readers and stuff.
|
||
|
|
But this was a quick one that we wanted to get out there
|
||
|
|
for Merff and we have a long history
|
||
|
|
of supporting the hope conference.
|
||
|
|
Just coming in there again,
|
||
|
|
if there are conferences going on and you're involved with them
|
||
|
|
and you want to promote them,
|
||
|
|
HPR is a great place to do that.
|
||
|
|
This audience pointing to everybody listening to this
|
||
|
|
is exactly your target audience
|
||
|
|
for these hacker conferences.
|
||
|
|
So get in touch with us.
|
||
|
|
We'll conduct an interview with you prior to the event.
|
||
|
|
If there's call for papers going on,
|
||
|
|
we can support you around about the time
|
||
|
|
you're thinking about call for papers.
|
||
|
|
That's the time to get in touch with us
|
||
|
|
when you have dates, when you've got venues,
|
||
|
|
when you've got addresses.
|
||
|
|
We can do a quick interview with you about what the conference is about,
|
||
|
|
why you're doing it, why it's interest attackers,
|
||
|
|
where you go, what the price of the tickets are about,
|
||
|
|
all that sort of thing.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, the hope conference, quick introduction to what it is,
|
||
|
|
inspired by the 2600 magazine and the whole freaking scene,
|
||
|
|
which of course, if you know your HPR history and who doesn't,
|
||
|
|
HPR was initially proposed, Hacker Public Radio,
|
||
|
|
on the Radio Freak America,
|
||
|
|
which is also inspired, the 2600 dial tones,
|
||
|
|
where you were a phone freaking hacking,
|
||
|
|
the telephone network is back in the day when it cost,
|
||
|
|
huge amount of money to make telephone calls.
|
||
|
|
FPX says, the hope conference talks,
|
||
|
|
it's also worth noting that if you're unable to make hope,
|
||
|
|
I have never attended the conference myself,
|
||
|
|
you can still benefit from it.
|
||
|
|
The folks at 2600 who organized it,
|
||
|
|
eventually, when energy and resources allow,
|
||
|
|
post recordings of most of the conference talks online for all to enjoy.
|
||
|
|
It does sometimes take several months to a year,
|
||
|
|
but given they do so for free, one cannot complain.
|
||
|
|
There can be found on both the internet, archive and YouTube.
|
||
|
|
2600.com also sells complete sets of audio and video recordings for downloads,
|
||
|
|
and flash drives for your convenience.
|
||
|
|
The talks from this year's hope won't be online for a long while after the conference,
|
||
|
|
but recorded talks from previous hope conferences,
|
||
|
|
both technical and not often remain interesting and relevant,
|
||
|
|
especially given some of the individuals that regularly talk at the conference.
|
||
|
|
Thank you, FPX for that.
|
||
|
|
That's interesting to know.
|
||
|
|
If you're stoked for something to watch,
|
||
|
|
go back and watch some of the hope conferences and stuff.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, absolutely.
|
||
|
|
And it's great to see them making it available for those who can't get there.
|
||
|
|
Exactly, yeah.
|
||
|
|
I'm just hoping that maybe, I mean, I think I'm right,
|
||
|
|
and saying, oh, can't, doesn't make much of it.
|
||
|
|
There are a few people who record things,
|
||
|
|
but it's not generally unavailable anywhere, is it?
|
||
|
|
No, I don't think they have the kiss,
|
||
|
|
but Fostem, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do the brain,
|
||
|
|
could infer no taking up, Fostem do have infrastructure for live streaming and events
|
||
|
|
and publicizing them and self editing and publishing them.
|
||
|
|
So if you give a talk at a Fostem event,
|
||
|
|
you can go to a web page, you approve the video, you press OK,
|
||
|
|
and then it gets published automatically.
|
||
|
|
And they make that equipment available to other conferences for they, you know,
|
||
|
|
for to do the same thing.
|
||
|
|
But it's a lot of work and it's a lot of work.
|
||
|
|
I could not take that on myself at last.
|
||
|
|
But in this day and age, you would imagine that a laptop and a three,
|
||
|
|
you know, a 5G network, you should be able to stream the events possibly and save it.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that's it. But anyway, the end of the day, that's a desirable thing.
|
||
|
|
Of course, maybe if they do that, it's going to affect the actual attendance.
|
||
|
|
She can understand both ways, but you'd think though in this day and age,
|
||
|
|
a tech conference or tech event, we should have some tech involved as well.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, but you know, there are people who, you know, for accessibility reasons,
|
||
|
|
can come or for medical reasons, can come and would love to.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, probably time to interview the people about on-camp or other events that are coming up.
|
||
|
|
Absolutely, absolutely. And of course, that leads on nicely to somebody who I made
|
||
|
|
a dog camp last year. In this day, the flesh. Yeah, Lee. So Lee did a really good discussion
|
||
|
|
on episode 4441 with the on-voip voiceover IP. And he went into, he was obviously a fairly
|
||
|
|
early adopter of using VoIP and keeping his old number, etc. And he was went over the benefits.
|
||
|
|
I actually, I thoroughly enjoyed that. The one thing I'm a wee bit concerned about,
|
||
|
|
not with this is in general. I mean, it's been VoIP all of, you know, to the whole time to me.
|
||
|
|
But where did this term digital phone line come from? This seems to be a reason thing.
|
||
|
|
And the people are referring to VoIP. I never heard of that one, actually.
|
||
|
|
This is what the general public are seem to be calling it because somebody asked me about
|
||
|
|
digital phone line and I went, what the heck is that? And I was like, are you meaning a VoIP?
|
||
|
|
Anyway, I've never heard of that. I'm finding this is coming to it.
|
||
|
|
It's probably like a floss versus open source. It's going to make more sense.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, so he goes through, I really liked actually him going through the whole thing.
|
||
|
|
And he wasn't wrongs tinting it. It wasn't, oh, it's all amazing. It's all so much better.
|
||
|
|
He went over the positives, went over the negatives. I actually thought that it was an incredibly
|
||
|
|
balanced and well put together shoe. I really loved this one.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, oh, sorry.
|
||
|
|
Go ahead over.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, this brought me back to the old school days when I first tried VoIP.
|
||
|
|
I don't know if you guys remember Vonage or if they had it where you live.
|
||
|
|
Very terrible. Yeah, we had a lot of envy not having it.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that was an excellent time when it worked.
|
||
|
|
There was a, he mentioned also here that they were able to connect the emergency services
|
||
|
|
to their VoIP back then. The emergency services did not work.
|
||
|
|
Today, I think it does work in some cases. I haven't played with it in a little while.
|
||
|
|
The last time I did was with JMP chat trying to get from underneath a situation I was
|
||
|
|
dealing with over here. But in your home, like an actual landline replacing that VoIP,
|
||
|
|
this all sounds very interesting, but I don't know if I can tackle it.
|
||
|
|
It was great to live by curiously through him in this show though.
|
||
|
|
Well, for us in the UK, some of England have already gone this way, but there was due to be
|
||
|
|
New Year's Day at the end of the year. But now they've put it back to New Year's Day
|
||
|
|
2027, but the analog phone minds are getting switched off, so everybody's going to have to go to VoIP.
|
||
|
|
So I know that our parts of England were already been switched off, and businesses are starting
|
||
|
|
to be switched off already. So yeah, you'd kind of hope that at least the emergency services in
|
||
|
|
the UK are already accessible now, VoIP if that's a case.
|
||
|
|
I'm interested in knowing if we're going to get better technology with this. So for instance,
|
||
|
|
my main concern would be filtering because, you know, scams. So if we're going digital,
|
||
|
|
we should have better technology to protect consumers in my humble opinion.
|
||
|
|
I would totally agree. I think at the end of the day, there should be. Well, we've got an option
|
||
|
|
on our phone. We're still on the currently the old-fashioned analog cable, but we've got an option to
|
||
|
|
reject any withheld numbers. They just won't come through. You've also got the option to
|
||
|
|
reject unknown collars, as well, which is slightly different because the but then your problem is,
|
||
|
|
there's a lot of companies, like the Dr. Surgery, etc. up here, is unknown. So if you block them,
|
||
|
|
it kind of makes like a bit difficult when you need them. But yeah, I mean, there's no excuse for
|
||
|
|
it, to be honest, that this should be. I'm not saying that it's going to be, but this gives
|
||
|
|
this real potential to, like you say, completely get rid of scammers from this day on age.
|
||
|
|
I love that motive of a sunny, of that motive of a point of entry to the house.
|
||
|
|
Yes. And the following day, we had orthopaediatric opiate, what it is, and Manon explains this
|
||
|
|
field of care and why we needed it. This was a request from Dave Morris, when we were over visiting,
|
||
|
|
and Manon has been thinking about it for a while, and then needed to do a course, so she decided
|
||
|
|
to record a show completely. I was just the tech, tech boyfriend during this. And that was it.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, there actually are a few positions like this in the UK, but not huge amounts here,
|
||
|
|
because there's like the, you get a whole, people get degree in pedagogy. We had to do it as part
|
||
|
|
of teaching. It was a bit overkill, to be honest. I mean, but the, it was, it was actually quite
|
||
|
|
interesting here in that, you know, she said most people haven't a clue when she says what
|
||
|
|
her term title is. There are people in this position, but they are also rare. Most of the time,
|
||
|
|
they'd be working with people who are generally just classed as caters. You know, I mean, there
|
||
|
|
are a lot of different levels, different pay, but they'll be working alongside them. Yeah. So
|
||
|
|
go that over. Sorry. Here in the US, we have something, but it's a little bit more generalized.
|
||
|
|
It's not as specific as hers. We have social workers, and they do very similar jobs when they
|
||
|
|
can. There's a ton of other things that they have to do, but this sounds very close to their jobs.
|
||
|
|
So Archer 72 says, interesting approach. Hello, Manon. Thanks for the show. I learned a lot about
|
||
|
|
the subject. It's very interesting approach that should be implemented worldwide. I'm located
|
||
|
|
in the US and the doctors here will be the first to increase those or add a medical medication
|
||
|
|
to fix an issue. It was pleasant to see a whole person slash situation approach. Dave Morris gave
|
||
|
|
us a comment. I enjoyed this a lot. Hi, Manon. Thanks for the shoot. It was excellent. I never
|
||
|
|
understand what your job entails and might be able to pronounce the word if I listen to some more
|
||
|
|
and practice it, regards Dave. Yeah. Anthony, love learning about this profession.
|
||
|
|
Things related. Children with learning deficiencies and their environments. Thanks for talking
|
||
|
|
about it. Yeah, very, very good show. I love learning new spell words, so I'm going to give this
|
||
|
|
one another go later on. Yeah. I think like a free software could do with a more catchy title,
|
||
|
|
like VoIP or something. Actually, to be honest, I would have struggled pronouncing it. Had I not
|
||
|
|
had to study the dash thing. I mean, to be honest, when I first were told we're studying it,
|
||
|
|
I think it sounds like a disease. Okay. The following day, we had the first doctor,
|
||
|
|
part three, continuing to look into Dr. Who. And this was the move to episode by Huka. And
|
||
|
|
classic, classic Dr. Rue stuff on history and everything you need to possibly know about Dr. Who.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I was really at the said one thing I didn't know. I mean, I'm roughly just past where he's
|
||
|
|
doing. I went right the way back and start watching the first one, the first right from
|
||
|
|
series one all over. And my mind's come blank on her name. The first doctor said the grand
|
||
|
|
daughter. What was her name again? The young girl. Very innocent. She looks very young,
|
||
|
|
but Huka actually pointed it. She wasn't young. Although she was made young in the film remake,
|
||
|
|
she was actually in her late 20s, was maddened with children. I was like, what? She actually looks
|
||
|
|
like I would idea if she was tried to buy alcohol. So the following day, we had Yerun, who has
|
||
|
|
moved and has found time again to come back and pick up some HPR episodes. So this is an episode
|
||
|
|
on an ERP application called Auto. And ERP for those who don't know is Enterprise Resource Planning.
|
||
|
|
And Auto is a business management suite developed in Belgium and includes modules for customer
|
||
|
|
relationship management, e-commerce, billing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And if you listen
|
||
|
|
to the episode, Yerun gives us a great little background to the old topic. Whose turn is it to do
|
||
|
|
the comments? I'll take it. Archer 72. My wife has a side business. Hello, Yerun. My wife has a
|
||
|
|
side crafting business. And this is an interesting application that will most likely
|
||
|
|
self-hosts solely in an inventory management aspect. Is there an option to upload a photo of
|
||
|
|
each item in the inventory? Thanks, Archer 72. And Jason Lewis, also the comment saying migrating
|
||
|
|
from NetSuite. Hi, thanks for this podcast. So with this thing and I can't wait for more,
|
||
|
|
my business has currently in NetSuite. And I'd love to hear about experiences migrating
|
||
|
|
business from NetSuite to Odu. And then the last comment was by Henrik Henren. Odu, Odu,
|
||
|
|
new to me. This was interesting to learn that this software exists for business purposes and
|
||
|
|
about their own business model for the software itself. So do do you part one episode one of the
|
||
|
|
mini series? Can we treat? Can't keep track of the notebook? Always know where your phone is.
|
||
|
|
You want to keep track? Use the do do. Rita says, I can follow your thoughts. Hi, Jesra,
|
||
|
|
this recording suits my level of understanding smiley. Maybe you later on also look at your file
|
||
|
|
structure. Have you ever thought about using this for your own development? And he points to hit
|
||
|
|
your 4091, which was from Norrist using pi test test driven development demo. And that was from
|
||
|
|
Rita. And Jesra replied saying, noted, yes, I will discuss the file structure in my next do do
|
||
|
|
recording. Thank you for the suggestion. A small test app was partially developed,
|
||
|
|
but I gave up on it due to reasons mostly I'm lazy. But I'll expand on that in the next do do
|
||
|
|
recording as well. Hey, nothing beats honesty. There you go. And despite me telling to the
|
||
|
|
coaster, not to use the eye, what does he go ahead and do?
|
||
|
|
I bring a eye to the rescue. Yeah, but this was super interesting actually. And you know,
|
||
|
|
this is totally allowed because, you know, he went and it's basically a review of the current state of
|
||
|
|
various different chatty, bitty, grok, Gemini and Claude and Mral and Deepseek. So he basically
|
||
|
|
asked the same questions of the various different AIs. And it was interesting, you know, because we
|
||
|
|
have such low penetration on the web. It's fairly obvious that the majority of the information
|
||
|
|
came from the Wikipedia article, which is why having a Wikipedia article is so vital to us
|
||
|
|
and feel free to keep that up to date as well, if you can. Yeah, I liked although they weren't
|
||
|
|
similar. I liked here. It was quite interesting here in the different responses of the different
|
||
|
|
AIs produced. Actually, I really did quite enjoy that because I must admit when I saw
|
||
|
|
the eye at the rescue, I can ask probably if you can all, but actually I enjoyed the episode.
|
||
|
|
So candy can eat her zero seven candy can eat her. Okay, interesting episode, interesting
|
||
|
|
way to mix a call to action with a more unique twist. I really hope people don't turn into
|
||
|
|
generous of AI. That's not going to happen. I'm afraid. Don't turn to generous of AI, not turn into
|
||
|
|
generous of AI. Did we have troll coaster in response? I guess I didn't get my point over.
|
||
|
|
Hey, candy can eat her. I actually wanted to get to get the point out how different LLMs are
|
||
|
|
very different in their biases and how you should be aware of that when you use an LLM.
|
||
|
|
But I agree that the last thing we need is LLM generated scripts or even worse, AI generated
|
||
|
|
voices playing AI generated scripts. While it is while it sells a problem for empty slots,
|
||
|
|
I agree I'd rather have HPR and didn't get stuff with AI slot. Yeah, guess the destination for
|
||
|
|
the end destination for all domain names is a porn site, but perhaps in future it'll be AI slot.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, and actually this was so apt purely because I listened to this and I think it was the next day
|
||
|
|
we had a guy who was supposed to in training, quote unquote, training. We're offering you training
|
||
|
|
for it was supposed to be being digital in the classroom. Someone like that, something.
|
||
|
|
And the guy came and oh my word, this guy just was, I felt like he was just working for a pro,
|
||
|
|
the pro AI industry. He was working for them. And I'm there as a former graphics teacher,
|
||
|
|
we don't offer graphics these days, but he was talking about oh, using AI to get all your graphics
|
||
|
|
done. And then he did something I've really annoyed the heck out of me. He was like, just type in
|
||
|
|
what you want. Look, we can make podcasts and he typed in a sentence and it made up this blurb.
|
||
|
|
And then he was, you don't even have to read it. Just do that. And this paid for two, which we
|
||
|
|
did not get access to, would then produce it. And then there was another paid for two to edit it.
|
||
|
|
And were there going, are you kidding? So basically you are taking out all the skills from actually
|
||
|
|
doing something. And I was like, the kids are never going to see this. I am never making sure my
|
||
|
|
base they are never going to see this. Oh, absolutely. I was sorry, go ahead or
|
||
|
|
I would struggle to not call security on them and have them escorted from the premises.
|
||
|
|
Because the idea that you were covered to a learning environment and then offer tools to
|
||
|
|
avoid learning, yeah, you got to go. Oh, trust me, we were all, I was worried actually by the end
|
||
|
|
because I was looking down the line and my colleagues, I think, I think it's just a good job,
|
||
|
|
all of us had, sorry, didn't have any tools with us from the workshops because I could probably
|
||
|
|
have been the one security was called. But the person next to me, I mean, she's a particular,
|
||
|
|
she's even more, her hatred of AI is way more than mine, even. And she had a pencil in her hand.
|
||
|
|
By the end of it, she had four bits of pencil in her hand.
|
||
|
|
Oh, it's classic. Yes. No, the other, it's amazing how much AI slop there is now.
|
||
|
|
Normally, I'm looking for stuff and I have all the disability I plug in in Libra Wolf.
|
||
|
|
But if you're looking for something generic, like a, I don't know, pair of socks or something,
|
||
|
|
man, you just guess. How do I wash a pair of socks? For example, all these web pages,
|
||
|
|
and you can just see that they've been generated like five nanoseconds ago with, you know,
|
||
|
|
interesting that you ask how you want pair of socks. It's very important when you're washing
|
||
|
|
socks, and then you go to the next site. It's the same stuff, the same stuff, the same stuff. It is
|
||
|
|
just so, it's killing the web as well as it is. I'm afraid to say. Yep, totally, totally.
|
||
|
|
I agree. Anyway, this, the following day was an interview with my great
|
||
|
|
Packert at Flavoyland 2025 Fieldwork Archaeology Open Day. The shipwreck is a Dutch
|
||
|
|
Wathership, with two compartments to keep fish alive until we reach a sport recorded by myself.
|
||
|
|
And it was a spur of the moment recording on my Android phone if you're wondering.
|
||
|
|
And thanks very much to Margaret for agreeing to do that.
|
||
|
|
An English language show when you're in the middle of a field in the Netherlands talking to
|
||
|
|
Dutch people. So that was really, really appreciated. There are, by the way, lots of photos and
|
||
|
|
videos in the show notes. Yeah, I mean, I, I thought I'd enjoyed this show. I was actually
|
||
|
|
listening to this one outside. I was doing a bit of work on the van. And I, I thought, what the
|
||
|
|
heck's he been smoking? Was my initial thing? You know, the shipwreck in the middle of a field?
|
||
|
|
What the heck? But it was really good. I thought I'd eat thoroughly enjoyed.
|
||
|
|
Once I actually figured out the context a bit more, I was like, oh, okay.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that, that threw me for a little bit as well. I was trying to make sense of it. But
|
||
|
|
I remember Ken also mentioning in the past that there are like so many feet underwater over there.
|
||
|
|
Oh, I was, I was tick-bating you guys just as the introduction, because I knew we would be
|
||
|
|
getting to that in the discussion. So, but it is kind of funny, you know, you're, you're doing
|
||
|
|
archeology on boats. And I had a really good, I've been trying to get this photo to for
|
||
|
|
basic years. And I keep missing it every time to show how the context of how much underwater we are
|
||
|
|
like in spots. And it's difficult to show on a, on a picture, even if you go to Wikipedia.
|
||
|
|
But I, the other day I was driving, my wife was driving in. There was a articulated lorry.
|
||
|
|
We were driving on the dyke. There was a ship next to us. And then underneath us on a side road,
|
||
|
|
under the dyke was a like articulated lorry. And that, the whole scale of the thing was just
|
||
|
|
perfect. Then you, you could see the differences in the, in the heights, you know, to say there's
|
||
|
|
four meters on underwater kind of means nothing. But, you know, two articulated lorry heights
|
||
|
|
makes it more visible. But I mean, that's by the way. I really enjoyed this, this episode did not
|
||
|
|
enjoy preparing and uploading all the photos, but still. Clinton Roy says pictures too. I came to
|
||
|
|
say how much I liked listening to the episode, but then discovered there were pictures too.
|
||
|
|
Amazing. Thank you. And Henry Kerman says interesting talk about this boot and archaeology.
|
||
|
|
This was an interesting interview about archaeology and this specific type of boot.
|
||
|
|
Very nice educational talk with Margaret Packard. And thanks for also for the photos.
|
||
|
|
We have Antoni with that was sure a show. I love the clarity and even, and even in complete
|
||
|
|
layman can understand also the explanation and questions answered were absolutely one of one
|
||
|
|
one's interest. Hold on, let me start up again. We're absolutely the ones interested in knowing the
|
||
|
|
maximum. What adds fantastic thanks to you and Ken and Margaret. Okay, I'm going to butcher that name.
|
||
|
|
The gentleman in being interviewed. So, uh, Joseph says time to head to the wood shop.
|
||
|
|
Dear boat builders, let this episode be your inspiration to your carve your name,
|
||
|
|
place to attach to your vessels so that future generations will know the name of your sweet sweet boat.
|
||
|
|
It would be cool if the founders at the end. So, we time will tell.
|
||
|
|
I like to point out though, um, the audio was excellent and knowing that you just did that on a
|
||
|
|
phone at this very moment. I mean, there's no reason not to submit a show.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, a little bit of work was done together, that good I have to tell you.
|
||
|
|
But, yes, submit your shows.
|
||
|
|
Follow me. Well worth it in the end. Go ahead.
|
||
|
|
Good show. Good show. Yeah, I, uh, I was like a bit embarrassed that I did it because, um,
|
||
|
|
I went over to actually my friend Pucky, uh, also HBR host, also my son, uh, wanted to visit
|
||
|
|
uh, his friend who was working there. Poor guy. He was walking to the middle of this field, right?
|
||
|
|
And it was just pouring down with rain, just the whole way over like the wipers and a DVD,
|
||
|
|
double speed coming into the thing. The place was absolutely sulking.
|
||
|
|
And he comes up in his Wellington zone with his, um, uh, with his wet gear on.
|
||
|
|
And I go, got it. Yeah, it's, it's, it's a bit wet here or something. No, it's not too bad today.
|
||
|
|
It's been worse all week. Oh my god.
|
||
|
|
Just, it was something else. Uh, archaeology, I would not be my thing. You know, I, when you
|
||
|
|
think of archaeology, you think of like, um, uh, Indiana Jones and stuff, but, uh, no, it's mostly
|
||
|
|
crawling around in the mud from what I can see. Anyway, the following day, uh, YouTube subscriptions
|
||
|
|
part four, and we know what that means by now. It means that there have been free slots, guys,
|
||
|
|
free slots. Oh, the heartbreak. Oh, oh, why, why are they doing this to be?
|
||
|
|
Kevin, it's got to. Why don't you send it shows?
|
||
|
|
Careful with your wish for it. I've got a few for next month.
|
||
|
|
Excellent. Yeah, it's usually a bit slower during the summer, but even so.
|
||
|
|
And that's why the reserve queue is there. It's doing this job. So if you, uh, have some
|
||
|
|
shows lined up, and please send in shows, uh, if you have some shows that are lined up that are
|
||
|
|
not that urgent, chuck them into the reserve queue, and we'll, uh, we will mosey through them
|
||
|
|
when we have free slots. It is absolutely. Yeah. I mean, I must admit, when I saw the title of these
|
||
|
|
ones, I have to confess, I was, um, a bit apprehensive. I was thinking, oh, it's just going to make
|
||
|
|
much for, but I've actually really enjoyed. I didn't really think it would make much for much
|
||
|
|
interesting listening, but I've really enjoyed listening to, you know, the, the subscriptions
|
||
|
|
that a hookah has, and it's actually made me go on, um, back one check this out. Back one check
|
||
|
|
that one out. But I've got a little time as it is. So please send in some shows. I can't keep
|
||
|
|
watching YouTube all the time. Exactly. I like it because, you know, you know, the cruise ones,
|
||
|
|
I'm never going to watch that until I suddenly want to watch them. So, uh, but it's nice.
|
||
|
|
Quite a few nearly every, every one of these shows. There's one where I'm already subscribed,
|
||
|
|
or I will subscribe as a result of it. So good stuff. And I like his, uh, explanation as to why
|
||
|
|
he's listening to it. And does he watch everything or does he just pick a mix? Yeah, absolutely. And
|
||
|
|
also the, the, I think it was actually today's one, I have to confess one rather than this one.
|
||
|
|
Then it was, you know, he was talking about how he had absolutely no issue with, uh,
|
||
|
|
subscribing to somebody who doesn't release that regularly, but release really good content.
|
||
|
|
You know, and I was like, yeah, that's really a point. It's not about just kind of filling up your
|
||
|
|
feed. It's a bit quality as well. That's cool. Absolutely. Absolutely. Uh, and when I ever do get
|
||
|
|
wronged to my own version on that, I've since he started this show, what I'm also doing is when
|
||
|
|
I unsubscribe or decide, you know, I'm no longer going to, uh, follow that guy or a girl as a case
|
||
|
|
maybe, um, I'm also keeping track of those so that I can go, here are the ones I am listening to,
|
||
|
|
but here are the ones I'm not listening to and why I stopped listening to, why I started listening
|
||
|
|
to them in the first place or watching them in the first place, and then why I stopped. So now,
|
||
|
|
if you do something similar to yourself, that would make it an interesting show for us.
|
||
|
|
Part two of Odo is he on the virtual machine. Now that we know what Odo is, we know how we can
|
||
|
|
start it on a virtual machine and give it a go. And all the steps that you need are there in
|
||
|
|
the show notes for this episode. Thank you, Yerun. I was really surprised when he's speaking about
|
||
|
|
this. Just, I mean, I kind of got a glimpse of it as in the first show, but when he was talking
|
||
|
|
about installing it, and I thought it was, I don't know, in my own head, it was way smaller,
|
||
|
|
obviously, because he says, don't install all the packages, whatever you do, you know, he spoke
|
||
|
|
about it. Yeah, many of them was, oh, those are as big as project. That's like, uh, the WordPress,
|
||
|
|
so business stuff, you know, that, if you're not involved in it, you're not involved in this,
|
||
|
|
but, uh, lots of people are, I guess. Absolutely. Yeah. And Archer says, Odo in a VM,
|
||
|
|
Hi, Yerun, another great show in this series. I've been working a bit using vert manager for
|
||
|
|
virtual machines. And this is a perfect project to try out looking forward to your next show.
|
||
|
|
There you go. You've, uh, you've hit your minimum viable product there. One person has enjoyed
|
||
|
|
your show. And that's not true. We all enjoy your shows playing civilization part five, part two.
|
||
|
|
We continue our look at the game mechanics of civilization part five. And this is where the two
|
||
|
|
gamers talk and I showed up. Yes, I was thinking of that when you were talking about this last month.
|
||
|
|
And I was like, oh, man, that was a good show. Don't waste it. But yeah, there's one other one here
|
||
|
|
from Ahuka. Uh, obviously, he did a whole series on civilization for I, again, I enjoyed this one.
|
||
|
|
It's, and it's something that, you know, happiness is a real big thing with these kind of city
|
||
|
|
builders because you can have everything that is, you know, they can have jobs. They can have good
|
||
|
|
houses, you know, everything they need to survive. But if a life sport, they will very quickly rebel.
|
||
|
|
And it's, it's probably one of the most common things that ruins a city builder for the newbie.
|
||
|
|
If they're not sure about it, it's something they might ignore. They say, well, look, they've got
|
||
|
|
medical, they've got housing, they've got jobs, they've got food. Yeah, but trust me, if life
|
||
|
|
is boring, they will start rebel, they'll start cause factions. And the other thing I liked to
|
||
|
|
actually, I thought was quite good tip was the advancing eras. Now in most of these things,
|
||
|
|
you get the technology three. What I didn't actually realize was you could actually kind of skip
|
||
|
|
you could skip eras by advancing one technology three quite a bit. And like I said, I'm not a huge
|
||
|
|
civilization player. I haven't played it quite a while. But he was talking about you could actually
|
||
|
|
skip ahead and era by researching one tree super duper quick. And then since you, there isn't
|
||
|
|
effect to that, you do have to go back. So obviously different eras have different
|
||
|
|
er er technologies available. They also have different objectives. So yeah, that I thought I
|
||
|
|
had again, I thought I enjoyed this. I agree 100%. I think you said everything that need to be said
|
||
|
|
there. I would like to include it's funny how these games are built, you know, against real life.
|
||
|
|
If you try to make something too efficient, people get upset with you over it, you get a
|
||
|
|
little bit of slack in there for everybody to have fun. Yeah. So yeah, I didn't actually need to
|
||
|
|
take up the whole show. Yeah, like I said, yeah, you've got it totally good. And I they've been
|
||
|
|
these have been in the queue for a while. So I've listened to them quite a while ago, but it is
|
||
|
|
this whole series. I love it because it's just given me an understanding a little bit of
|
||
|
|
of the the whole gaming the way I gave her things and acts. And the other good thing is they're not
|
||
|
|
actually, although who does doing exclusively civilizations, the tactics are not exclusive,
|
||
|
|
like you could take this and try it in another city builder and you'd probably find that the
|
||
|
|
tips and general are good for different games. Yeah, a lot of them are modeled with the same mechanics.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, you can basically copy past it with those strategies. Speaking of game modding, don't
|
||
|
|
have time to play games all day. Apparently, the operator does and gives a huge list of game
|
||
|
|
modding stuff. Do you do any of this yourself, guys? Yes. And no, not with system, excuse me,
|
||
|
|
not with Fallout 76, but with other games. So, well, I get to her later, but yeah, we do a
|
||
|
|
little bit of it. Yeah, I do modding, not for every game is that easy to mod, but I like games.
|
||
|
|
I like games especially from independent developers, because very often they open up their API so
|
||
|
|
that they can extensively mod. So I mean, operator, this is one thing I want to maybe do our show on,
|
||
|
|
so I don't want to say too much, but operators spoke about ones that remove the grind and it sounds
|
||
|
|
a bit cheesy, but not all mods are like that. You know, I think it's probably worth pointing at.
|
||
|
|
There are plenty of ones that add expansions, add extra story line, extra view to parts. So,
|
||
|
|
yeah, I mean, this was a good introduction, but I like that. I want to maybe mention this in a
|
||
|
|
future show myself, so I don't want to say too much. Yeah, when you're modding, there's, you don't
|
||
|
|
have to actually change the game mechanics itself. One of the games that we mod, you can do things like
|
||
|
|
add accessibility features, so there may be certain things on the UI that aren't exactly noticeable,
|
||
|
|
so you can actually rearrange the UI a bit to bring out certain elements. In our case, it's the
|
||
|
|
survival. My voice is given out here. It's a survival game. So certain things about the character's
|
||
|
|
survival, you know, nutrition and hydration aren't exactly visible. You have to go through a different
|
||
|
|
menu to see it, so you can bring that stuff out on the screen somewhere where you can just see
|
||
|
|
it at a glance, that kind of thing. Oh, yeah, UI wants a very common, and the thing is that's not
|
||
|
|
cheating. That's just showing pretty much a bit of a better place, you know, where I said,
|
||
|
|
like I said, I think I just went in and we've been too much on the, they'll do things for you,
|
||
|
|
although he didn't talk with ones like that kind of, what do you call it? Like,
|
||
|
|
things that highlight a discoverable, I mean, that kind of goes up against the grain from me,
|
||
|
|
because it is a bit shitty, but at the same time, each to that own, you know, there's different mods,
|
||
|
|
different types. Is that shader? Candy can eaters, there are seven says,
|
||
|
|
multiple games. Making your own game mods is one of my favorite things to do.
|
||
|
|
Sorry, back off there. Making your own mod games is one's very interesting to do. Like,
|
||
|
|
it kind of indie games that are written in scripting languages, like Lua, GD script,
|
||
|
|
or Dreammaker, all of which are shows are really good to kind of slap your own thing into,
|
||
|
|
especially since a lot of them have built in mod loader, in my opinion, providing something
|
||
|
|
like that and making it easy to modify as one of the best things a game can do, especially
|
||
|
|
if it's open source as well. Well, right there is a series of shows, don't you think, guys?
|
||
|
|
Absolutely. I'm already looking forward to them. Yeah, the following day we had
|
||
|
|
turning coffee into cold slogans from tech companies, apps, and people. Five interesting slogans
|
||
|
|
from the software, like, and when I saw this one coming in, I was thinking like you with the
|
||
|
|
Hoku show going, okay, where's he going with this? But it was, it was lovely, it was fun, it was,
|
||
|
|
a nice little show. And this is actually when you do interview people are projects, especially
|
||
|
|
of Fostem. Quite a lot of the time you go to them, it was worse back in the day, but now it's a little
|
||
|
|
bit better, but you go to a website about a project and you get the release notes for what has
|
||
|
|
just happened to the project and nothing about my project is about this boom, so pretty good show.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, again, thoroughly enjoyed it. This was another, but yeah, like I said,
|
||
|
|
they did really enjoy it. It's funny. I think we're obviously, I mean, has it been a bit of a
|
||
|
|
people taking out an online course or something just on getting tied to some make us listen or
|
||
|
|
get us confused because they've hit the nail a few times this month. Excellent. And as we're getting
|
||
|
|
to the end of the month, there are not as many comments on the episodes, but no doubt people
|
||
|
|
will be commenting on these shows later. Now, that said, there are four comments on the next show,
|
||
|
|
which was IPv6 for Luddites. Luddites, he calls me. And Ron says, great intro, this was, by the way,
|
||
|
|
Benny talking to Andrew about IPv6 solutions, both, both hosts and friends of the show,
|
||
|
|
and people I've met in person on many occasion, and turns out Benny knows stuff about IPv6,
|
||
|
|
a fact which I intend to exploit both professionally and personally. Ron says, great intro to IPv6,
|
||
|
|
did I want to be reminded that I am old enough to remember when IPv6 was first introduced?
|
||
|
|
No, but I loved the conversation. Does have me wanting to try out IPv6 on my home network,
|
||
|
|
a nice test for my ASUS router running DDWRT? And Norris replies with, please post your talk. I hope
|
||
|
|
you get to present at the BSD conference you mentioned, but you can always do a HPR show using
|
||
|
|
OpenBSD ASUS router for our IPv6 on only home network. Very nice, very nice. Now, we have
|
||
|
|
where's Alice with a IPv6 on HPR. They give a nice little dig command there. I'm not sure if I should read
|
||
|
|
that, but look at the webmaster. Look like the webmasters should listen to this show.
|
||
|
|
To which I respond, I opened a bug to so you can help fix it. Hi, where's Alice? I opened a bug
|
||
|
|
and number 76 to track this issue. We are a volunteer service, so please consider helping us out
|
||
|
|
to resolve it. Please read the developer information at the link provided before you decide to
|
||
|
|
contribute. There may be additional costs, seriously though. There may be additional costs associated
|
||
|
|
with this, so we need to check Josh pays for the entire HPR website hosting, and if any more
|
||
|
|
wants to support him, you can do so by going to Anonisthost.com. We're going to be moving hosting
|
||
|
|
location soon, and I have asked Josh to see if we can get IPv6 support over there. You can also,
|
||
|
|
and this is not serious. This is actually also serious. You can help by adding some IPv6 shows
|
||
|
|
to our networking series. You can contribute your own shows about IPv6
|
||
|
|
to, and I give a link to how to record a podcast episode as you clearly have some experience
|
||
|
|
debugging DNS at least. If you prefer, you can go host with Benny who is looking for people to help
|
||
|
|
sit in with his shows. I've updated the requested topic, which apparently is nerd sniping
|
||
|
|
Benny, to include some IPv6 requests. Feel free to do an overshoot show or deep dives into, for
|
||
|
|
example, into the structure of packets, etc. And that's not just to, whereas Alice, but in general
|
||
|
|
about networking and IPv6, we could do with a lot more shows. There's the requested topic page
|
||
|
|
has been open for some time. I've now moved it over to the Git T instance, so you can edit it
|
||
|
|
and add to it and link to shows that have already been done, etc. etc. So hopefully that will make
|
||
|
|
it a little bit more accessible for people. And then Archers 72 AI, it's a trap, and he goes into
|
||
|
|
his feelings about AI and searching and stuff. Yeah, I think he's probably more in line with
|
||
|
|
the majority of us here to be fair to be honest. Maybe not there, get a younger one, but certainly
|
||
|
|
a, as of a certain vintage we can see. I do, I do see a lot of people using it. A lot of the kids
|
||
|
|
are just asking AI and accepting us. So yeah, that's just the way it is, I guess.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I mean, to be honest, this is going to probably start if it continues. This is probably
|
||
|
|
going to start a new kind of topic in school that can never existed before. You know, fact check
|
||
|
|
in AI kind of spills, except on how to, how to fact check. Don't just ask AI is a through,
|
||
|
|
you actually have to go ahead. And then the final episode of this month was more subscription
|
||
|
|
channels this time featuring the fab five, phasier cane, four piece ranch, etc. Some cruises,
|
||
|
|
some beetles, and some, some other stuff that's over is in two. And there were no comments on that
|
||
|
|
so I'm going back to the main episode again. And we had two previous comments. I'll do the first
|
||
|
|
the first film was on episode four, three, seven, seven, which was back in, let me see,
|
||
|
|
May by tattoo, password store, and the past command. And it was by Ahmed Al-Mahmoudi,
|
||
|
|
sorry if I pronounced your name correctly. And that comment goal, would you have a look at
|
||
|
|
KPF PWD? It's a utility that I have written, and it's similar to password store pass to query
|
||
|
|
entries from key pass database. And he gives a link to his GitHub page. And there's a
|
||
|
|
CLI command line utility to edit files called KPCLI. That's interesting. Would in itself make a good
|
||
|
|
show if you're willing to do that. And the next comment was on a show from July, handcrafting,
|
||
|
|
and bartering discussions with Lisbeth. And there was one comment from Archer 72. Good to hear
|
||
|
|
a crafter. High Lisbeth, if any show would be helpful to my wife, this would be the one. She's a
|
||
|
|
fellow crafter making jewelry part-time. If only a podcast were her thing. Have you thought about
|
||
|
|
this type of show with a video in addition? She's a visual learner. Thanks, says Archer 72.
|
||
|
|
And that's the end of the comments, but we will go to the male list thread. And the male list,
|
||
|
|
the first comment was rejecting a show on the grounds that it's using hburs means to push
|
||
|
|
a particular product of view. And I was, that is where I was saying that I was going to record a
|
||
|
|
show which I did and was released this month. And I replied to Hendrick, who had said,
|
||
|
|
hi Hendrick, sorry for the delay in replying, we can drive little from the host except that they
|
||
|
|
said there was nowhere else to post to. This is a shame given all the people that commented on this
|
||
|
|
post wanting to hear this exact type of thing. Does anyone know of a religious podcast that accepts
|
||
|
|
submissions like this one? Do you guys happen to know? No, I don't have to confess.
|
||
|
|
No, I don't. Although to be honest, I don't think I know personally any other community
|
||
|
|
podcasts off top of my head. Most of them tend to be established podcasts that I seem to know.
|
||
|
|
Well, for those, if there seem to be enough people interested in this, and if you guys want to
|
||
|
|
get together, the source code for hbur is available. All our tools is available are more than
|
||
|
|
happy to help people out. Don't let the fact, don't let hosting be an issue. We can deal with that.
|
||
|
|
Don't let server costs be an issue. We can, we can probably get, we can get that all sorted.
|
||
|
|
What we do need is somebody who wants this sort of thing to happen, not necessarily for religion,
|
||
|
|
but if you want to take hbur's code, it's all there. Using something like the internet archive
|
||
|
|
as a backup, as a place to host your media, you have very little traffic on the main website itself.
|
||
|
|
So, you know, this is something that you that anyone could do. So if there is somebody
|
||
|
|
interested in that, it'll take some time, and it takes quite a bit of time to manage a project
|
||
|
|
of this scale, but it is worth it. And we are here to help. And the more people use an
|
||
|
|
our code, the hbur code, the better, because if you have suggestions or improvements, then all
|
||
|
|
the better. And, you know, if your shows are released onto Creative Commons, we can take one of
|
||
|
|
those shows and play it as a demo here on hbur itself. And to, to Kevin's point, he said he
|
||
|
|
didn't know of any other community shows. There's the logcast, and there's also
|
||
|
|
mintcast, I think, as a community issue. Well, they have set host, but people from the community,
|
||
|
|
I think can contribute like request to go and show. TLLTS would be similar. That's kind of like
|
||
|
|
round two in discussions, but I'm not sure there's one like hbur where you can just pick a slot
|
||
|
|
and it comes out into a feed. Yeah, that's kind of thing. I was more thinking of was, you know,
|
||
|
|
rather than it's applying to go on the show kind of thing, I was thinking of submitting shows.
|
||
|
|
That's what I was kind of more thinking of as I think this is pretty unique in that respect.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, you guys think that will take off for religion? Well, because I'm thinking this is going
|
||
|
|
to be purely like some sort of a religion thing if they wanted to do it. Yeah, I could. I mean,
|
||
|
|
doesn't have if there's enough people to submit shows and with hbur, we release once every day,
|
||
|
|
but you know, if you're doing another podcast, I don't know, on widgets or something, and if
|
||
|
|
enough people were interested in widgets and want to submit shows, it doesn't have to be every
|
||
|
|
week every day. It can be, you know, every single day including the weekend or it can be once
|
||
|
|
every month or whatever. There, you know, we haven't implemented that code, but I can't imagine
|
||
|
|
it would be it would be interesting for us to modify our code to support that. Whereas we would
|
||
|
|
pick our schedule and then you could from a configuration file, pick your schedule.
|
||
|
|
Have you ever heard of a flame war over widgets? Yeah, I have enough flame wars myself.
|
||
|
|
I mean, to be honest, I don't think you could. I'm aware of it, but can I say too much?
|
||
|
|
I don't want too much hatred. I hate Malia, but I don't, I'm not convinced you could have one
|
||
|
|
that's open to all religions. I think that would just result in the constant flame wars.
|
||
|
|
You might have like, you know, like Jewish public radio, Christian public radio, Buddhist public
|
||
|
|
radio, different ones. You know, I don't know if you could just go the whole religious public
|
||
|
|
radio. Yeah, but even, well, you know, like I just say Christian public radio, then you're talking
|
||
|
|
about to divide between Catholic, some Protestants, et cetera, et cetera. Okay. You know what I mean,
|
||
|
|
yeah. You know, it's like ham radio clubs, you know, for every three hands, there are four clubs,
|
||
|
|
so it's just the way people are. But I don't see why why you couldn't. We've had HPR
|
||
|
|
as a place. And anyway, I'll get back to the topics, back to the topics.
|
||
|
|
Rejecting, so this is the next post here is the one where I posted the comment in from Torin,
|
||
|
|
and I reply saying, first policy discussions are proposed on the middle list with a link to
|
||
|
|
this middle list, and it's open to anybody who can join. And I give a link to the government's
|
||
|
|
about page. And then I go on to say, I think most people agree that the show as posted fell
|
||
|
|
outside what is acceptable to discuss in a hackerspace. We are a tech podcast dedicated
|
||

|
sharing knowledge, but that's not stopping anyone talking about their views on religion,
|
||
|
|
politics, sex, drifter of choice, or editor of choice. That is part of who we are, and it informs
|
||
|
|
us as people. I for one would like to see people submit shows on religion that are suitable for
|
||
|
|
this hackerspace. These might be technical in nature, or more social like advice shows from people
|
||
|
|
not of that faith, but who have been invited to an attend an event in your place of worship,
|
||
|
|
or a coordinated round table discussion or series of shows where people of different or no
|
||
|
|
faiths posting their views on the same agreed topic with the same agreed format, but just keep
|
||
|
|
in mind that every religion has oppressed or been oppressed, and we are a welcoming community
|
||
|
|
that offers positive feedback and encourages respectful debate. But expect a well-reasoned
|
||
|
|
response to follow from your post. You can use the Religion and Spirituality series and keep it
|
||
|
|
to one every two weeks guideline for both host and your series. Anyone not into this kind of stuff
|
||
|
|
can use the Jeliki and filter out that series. So there there definitely is a need for this because
|
||
|
|
I know work with people, a lot of people from India, and it's been, it's been a constant,
|
||
|
|
how do I not, how do I not offend people? Thing with me, where I'm paranoid about this, so I've
|
||
|
|
been very active into that. So that's an idea of topics that you can do. I don't know, what do you
|
||
|
|
think guys? Are they acceptable or not? I know, I mean I think it personally, I think it would be
|
||
|
|
acceptable, especially when you're coming out of from a tech side, and I've no issue with that,
|
||
|
|
I can say, of interest to hackers, I mean, just say, for example, I spoke about how we use
|
||
|
|
open source software in streaming the services for the local church, that kind of idea,
|
||
|
|
you know, where you're not necessarily pushing one, but you're just, you're mentioning what you
|
||
|
|
are, you're mentioning your own belief, but you're talking about the tech side of it.
|
||
|
|
And even going into the religion itself, I don't have an issue with that, my father-in-law
|
||
|
|
is a religion teacher, so I'm quite happy to have a beer with somebody and discuss religion,
|
||
|
|
and I spent a year in a seminary when I was in college, just before anyone jumps to conclusions,
|
||
|
|
I was a CV caretaker in one of the buildings, so that was my job, but I got to stay there
|
||
|
|
the weekends when the students were away, and it was also just great fun discussing religion
|
||
|
|
with people around the table, so. So I personally find that interesting, and for the topic of this
|
||
|
|
show, in order to check it, I went to similar to us, rollercoaster did, or trollocaster did,
|
||
|
|
I went and had different AI versions, translated from Christian Judaism into, if you're a Muslim,
|
||
|
|
what would the equivalent be, if you were an atheist, what would the equivalent be, and that was
|
||
|
|
an interesting topic, actually, because I couldn't cross-check, you know, I'd go into the
|
||
|
|
Koran and just checking, you know, was this stuff that it made up or not, or was it real, and that
|
||
|
|
would be, you know, here's the body of text, and now we're going to the different AI's to see
|
||
|
|
how different religions would, they're taken this, you know, because at the end of the day,
|
||
|
|
you know, people are people, and religion, you know, is the guide to help you through your life,
|
||
|
|
so yeah, okay. I can see the flame war beginning to burn, you know.
|
||
|
|
Now, there's no need for flare moors on this, none at all. I think everybody knows we're coming
|
||
|
|
to a hacker space, and particularly when we're talking about something that could be, you know,
|
||
|
|
you're going to be, that's difficult for some people, acknowledge that, but also I can also see
|
||
|
|
that we're a mature enough audience that the people sending in the shows, so long as the people
|
||
|
|
sending in the shows, treated with Koran respect, then the listening public will do the same.
|
||
|
|
Well, the thing is, this could be, this is a totally different thing altogether, as I say,
|
||
|
|
dear, but it's not, it's so, I've been out with HPR treatment, but the one thing that I think
|
||
|
|
is missing in general is what allowed you to disagree with people, I not hate them.
|
||
|
|
It's, of course, the internet's gone completely the wrong way, hasn't it? I disagree with you,
|
||
|
|
therefore you must manate me, which we can just disagree. Yeah, we can. And as with many things,
|
||
|
|
I, you know, swings around about the world is not left and right and up and down, it's enormous,
|
||
|
|
or, you know, you might not be as far away from other people's point of view as you actually think.
|
||
|
|
Okay, last comment for this is Paul T says, as one, as I, I know of one existing HPR host,
|
||
|
|
who used translation tools for Bible translation, for feed distribution as part of his religious
|
||
|
|
convictions, as an atheist hacker type, I would be interested in the show about that process,
|
||
|
|
and how free and open source it is by Paul T. A. G. L. Mussel. And then we had the request
|
||
|
|
for community news, and I had a request. Part of you from, say, high folks, I have an interview
|
||
|
|
coming up with a person of the French disposition. And the guest would appreciate having a fluent
|
||
|
|
French speaker available to help to clarify questions. Is there somebody available to help?
|
||
|
|
And if so, can you respond to me personally? So this will take maybe an hour, maximum two hours,
|
||
|
|
and it's somebody who's just a bit nervous about coming on, doing an English speaking show,
|
||
|
|
and we great to have somebody there to, to support them. So if you, if you're a HPR listener from
|
||
|
|
France or fluent in French, you're not expected to talk that much, just there's moral supporter,
|
||
|
|
little bit of translation, we can edit you out or whatever, but it's a, it's a good interview
|
||
|
|
that I've been trying to line up for a while. So yeah, that. And my friends, that is the end of this
|
||
|
|
episode, says he alienating the very people that he wants on the show. I couldn't do it, I couldn't
|
||
|
|
keep my mouth shut. All French people now have a free pass to pull the piss out in my accent.
|
||
|
|
There you go. No, you've just ruined my kind of plans. No, I want to go and watch a pink pencil.
|
||
|
|
Yes. Do we have anything else coming up? Yes, in the background, we are moving our HPR hosting,
|
||
|
|
which is something, Josh, sorry, you can get around to I'm busy, I'm doing it. I promise, yes,
|
||
|
|
sorry, yes, sir, keep getting extensions on the homework. That needs to be done. The lads on
|
||
|
|
the janitors, led by Ron, et cetera, are doing massive work on revamping the website. It is
|
||
|
|
absolutely cool and working a lot better. So much so that I'm now going to Ron's site before I go
|
||
|
|
to the HPR site to find stuff because it's just so much easier to use. If you want to follow along
|
||
|
|
with that process, you can, it is on the get T repo links in the show notes. While links actually
|
||
|
|
on the every HPR webpage, just go down to the bottom and you'll see HPR source code, you can help
|
||
|
|
along there. We will also as part of that, be splitting out the about page into various different
|
||
|
|
pages on the HPR documentation, get lab instance. And the reason we're doing that is just to make
|
||
|
|
it a little bit easier, get more contributors over there, number one. And number two is that
|
||
|
|
we don't need to regenerate the website and we don't need to do all the stuff. If you just want
|
||
|
|
to edit a file, you can, in the documentation section, and you at least, you can just edit it and
|
||
|
|
do a pull request there. If it's okay, we'll just accept it as a lot lowering the barrier to entry
|
||
|
|
to, to updating the documentation part. So the idea will, is that we will continue to maintain
|
||
|
|
a lot of the stuff about the project on the HPR website or about the podcast itself on the HPR
|
||
|
|
website, but the how-tos and the requested topics and the stuff supporting us, we'll move that out
|
||
|
|
to the documentation page, but more about that to come. Anything else going on that I am not aware
|
||
|
|
of on the telegram channels and the matrix channels guys? No, not an extra that I know of. We've
|
||
|
|
been more activity on the telegram channels. It's been quite nice to see. Good stuff. Anything from
|
||
|
|
the matrix? No, you caught wind of the, should I talk about? Well, no. We have some interesting ideas
|
||
|
|
bubbling up over there on the matrix and can't wait to see some shows produced from them. Very good.
|
||
|
|
Yes, sold out myself. If I had a, yes, looking forward to it, I must say. I just got a response
|
||
|
|
back from Josh about the IPv6 situation and they're working on deploying us, but there are some
|
||
|
|
hurdles with the harder support, software support, etc. But they are going to, they're going to
|
||
|
|
but at least they're working on it. So, no, we won't have IPv6 for a while. Well, hopefully,
|
||
|
|
hopefully in the next 30 years we should be able to get to it. Oh, yes. It'll be matured by then.
|
||
|
|
Speaking of which, this month in 19 days, in fact, as of the time you're hearing this,
|
||
|
|
we will be 20 years old folks, 20 years old. Right. And I don't have anything else to add
|
||
|
|
other than that. Have a good one. Please send us cake. Please send us cake. Yes, who?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, exactly. Anything else, guys? No, that's it. No, okay. Not sending anything just now. We
|
||
|
|
project on the go that's now been amalgamated with as part of HPR, but we haven't done the first
|
||
|
|
episode yet. Release it. So, I'm not saying anything just yet. You tell me. You're going to do a show.
|
||
|
|
You owe me a show. That's how it works. I didn't know that it's done. It's recorded. I'm just editing it
|
||
|
|
currently. Sure. But this one isn't just going to be a show. This was actually destined to be a
|
||
|
|
podcast and myself and a certain friend have their decided to release it as part of HPR, not
|
||
|
|
and paint a podcast. Oh, very good. There you go. Very good. Very good. Okay, everybody,
|
||
|
|
tune in tomorrow for what will them doubt it will be another exciting episode of Hacker Public.
|
||
|
