|
||||
This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4371 from Monday 5 May 2025.
|
||||
Today's show is entitled HBR Community News for April 2025.
|
||||
It is part of the series HBR Community News.
|
||||
It is hosted by HBR volunteers and is about 38 minutes long.
|
||||
It carries an explicit flag.
|
||||
The summary is.
|
||||
HBR volunteers talk about shows released and comments posted in April 2025.
|
||||
Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
||||
This is HBR Community News for April 2025.
|
||||
Joining me this evening is Scabby.
|
||||
And Kevin sends on his apologies, something turned up, and he's not able to attend this month.
|
||||
This is the Community News HBR Community Podcast where we really show about more or less anything that's of interest to hackers.
|
||||
Our motto is dedicated to sharing knowledge and this is the Community News where the community
|
||||
come together and discuss stuff that's been happening on the HBR millies and anything else that's been going on.
|
||||
One of the main things that we do is go through the shows and thrills to announce we have new holes this month.
|
||||
So Scotty, without further ado, oh, did I introduce you?
|
||||
Oh yeah, I did, yeah.
|
||||
Can you welcome the new holes, please?
|
||||
Sure, we have five new holes.
|
||||
We have birth.
|
||||
Oh yeah, we have birth.
|
||||
We have germ, I'm thinking that's short for Jeremy or something like that, Elizabeth.
|
||||
Comox, call three mox, I guess, and OXO.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
And all of those folks contributed a show to HBR and it's easy, easy, 11 squeezey to do.
|
||||
So you too can record a show.
|
||||
There's plenty of shows on HBR about how to record a show.
|
||||
But give you a flavor of what has been out the last month.
|
||||
I'll just go to the first show, which was of my country, Brazil, in a southern city viewing by Anton.
|
||||
Oh yeah.
|
||||
Go ahead of work.
|
||||
Wonderful show.
|
||||
I left a comment on it, letting them know that I appreciate it.
|
||||
I like hearing from someone who actually has been there or in his case lives there.
|
||||
Cool.
|
||||
So there was also a comment by Andrew, which says,
|
||||
tanks and transition sounds.
|
||||
Hi, Anton, I like hearing about Brazil.
|
||||
Thank you.
|
||||
It's always interesting to hear about places from someone who has lived there.
|
||||
Regarding the sound transitions, it's just lowering the volume and fading them in out to make them less jarring.
|
||||
However, they really aren't needed at all.
|
||||
Thanks for the HPR show.
|
||||
Well, you're also going to comment.
|
||||
So I'll just do the quick Antoine response.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Thanks.
|
||||
Hi, Andrew.
|
||||
Thank you for the tip.
|
||||
I'll take that into the account for future shows.
|
||||
Hope you like this hug.
|
||||
And there's my comment.
|
||||
There's scope and info.
|
||||
I agree with Andrew regarding sound transitions, mostly in the first few sound transitions.
|
||||
Thank you for the show.
|
||||
And I enjoy knowing the information is provided based on someone's personal experiences.
|
||||
Reminds me of the good old days when you could request information from a person,
|
||||
a real human being without creating an account and submitting a payment method first.
|
||||
Cheers, Scotty.
|
||||
And Anton says, hi, Scotty.
|
||||
Thank you for coming listening and bringing your gentle and useful feedback, hugs for everybody.
|
||||
So the following day, we had, oh, yes, resizing.
|
||||
Just sent a shiver up my spine.
|
||||
There's a Mr. X show resizing the root partition on the PC.
|
||||
What happened when he finally resized the root partition on his Dell OptiPlex PC?
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
Lesson one, don't do this sort of thing when you're in the traditional hurry.
|
||||
And lesson two, do a backup was the key.
|
||||
Lesson three was don't rush things and look out for our messages.
|
||||
Lessons four, don't use old versions of G-Party.
|
||||
Particularly when performing operations on modern systems.
|
||||
Lesson five, it might be a good idea to use a journaling file system.
|
||||
So, uh, Kevin says, a close scrape.
|
||||
Thank you for sharing your experience.
|
||||
To be honest, we are so guilty of doing things quickly, especially when there are tasks that
|
||||
are quite familiar with.
|
||||
I'm so glad you didn't crop the drive.
|
||||
Excellent pointers for anybody wishing to edit partitions.
|
||||
The one thing I always do is put the swap a boot partition, etc.
|
||||
at the start of a drive and then have my roof followed by the home.
|
||||
That means if I need to resize it, it doesn't need to move the partitions.
|
||||
This is being while I've had the, this is where I've had the majority of issues in the past.
|
||||
It shows how much distrails have changed over the years.
|
||||
Bracero used to be included with them all, but nowadays the majority of computers come without
|
||||
optical drives.
|
||||
And my own comment. Lesson four made me laugh out loud.
|
||||
I paused the episode to quickly run a backup of my own data.
|
||||
Make certain you label those compact discs and store them in a sleeve.
|
||||
Sounds like you may need them again.
|
||||
Thanks for the show.
|
||||
That's pretty sure for someone I was sort of glad he was able to recover.
|
||||
The next day we had X-Bind keys sent keys for Linux.
|
||||
X-Bind set up and this was a show by operator.
|
||||
It is about how you can script certain keys to do certain things.
|
||||
Very good. I'm wondering with the advent of Welland how much of this X-Bind stuff
|
||||
is going to survive.
|
||||
I use some critical scripts that I use maybe a thousand times a day in the background
|
||||
uses this sort of trickery.
|
||||
So I'm a bit, a bit concerned I have to admit.
|
||||
Yeah. That was a good answer.
|
||||
Yeah. When I heard, when I listened to this show,
|
||||
I thought, man, it's a bit too late for me now, but he mentioned that this is sort of a
|
||||
similar thing to the one on Windows that I can't get auto-hockey.
|
||||
And I use auto-hockey all the time on Windows.
|
||||
I was like, man, where was this when I needed it?
|
||||
Yeah, I use auto-key on Linux to do little scripty stuff,
|
||||
as well as little tools to copy from the X-clip board and paste back in and stuff like that.
|
||||
But operator definitely brings a different perspective on how he views the
|
||||
computing bit like yourself, actually.
|
||||
I enjoy both of your shows for that reason.
|
||||
Next day, we had more photo fixes with Gimp.
|
||||
And these are fixes for some of the absolute
|
||||
common problems with the Gimp.
|
||||
Like, you're basic.
|
||||
Listen to this series from Ouka and 99% of the stuff that people use for
|
||||
the shop for, you'll be able to do it in the Gimp.
|
||||
It's as simple as that.
|
||||
In this episode, two problems turn out to be related to similar fixes,
|
||||
dark colors and color problems in general.
|
||||
So two videos in the links and of course, links to the detailed show notes in the show notes.
|
||||
No comments on that as yes.
|
||||
And then we had the community news as well, which lacked comments.
|
||||
Scotty, I think we're not controversial enough.
|
||||
But yeah, let's see if we can fix that.
|
||||
Yeah, one of these things that I'm going to share in a regional opinion over here.
|
||||
And yeah, so when someone deals with me over it.
|
||||
Yeah, exactly.
|
||||
Oh, I love this.
|
||||
Why grandma?
|
||||
Why grandma?
|
||||
What a large language model you have.
|
||||
By some guy in the internet,
|
||||
talks about large models and the education.
|
||||
I had to turn this off because I was laughing so much on the train.
|
||||
Going in for six-club people, we're looking at me going,
|
||||
what's the weirdo doing on the train here?
|
||||
Like, I can't say I disagree with the word you said in this.
|
||||
And plenty of links in the show notes.
|
||||
Yeah, I was afraid I was going to rant too much on it,
|
||||
but I got it out in short enough time.
|
||||
Yeah, and if you disagree, far ahead.
|
||||
I think there's a good comment from the Hackaday podcast,
|
||||
or close weekly.
|
||||
He says, I'm waiting for the hype about AI to die down so we can start using AI.
|
||||
Yeah, I agree with that 100%.
|
||||
Absolutely.
|
||||
Now, the next distinct lack of comments folks,
|
||||
distinct lack of comments,
|
||||
as it happens, that's convenient for me because we can have a shorter episode.
|
||||
However, it is the mama by which our host,
|
||||
it is the shackles by which our hosts get paid.
|
||||
So please provide comments to the episodes.
|
||||
It's fantastic.
|
||||
When you've recorded a show and somebody leaves a little bit of feedback,
|
||||
it brightens up your day.
|
||||
Takes five minutes of your time.
|
||||
There's a link on every single episode in the RSS feed.
|
||||
You go click here at the very bottom of the show notes,
|
||||
every page in the RSS feed.
|
||||
Just click here in the show notes.
|
||||
If you go to the website, if you're reading it there,
|
||||
you just can leave a comment directly on the web page.
|
||||
The comment system is easy enough to use.
|
||||
You put your name, what you're comments about,
|
||||
and you comment itself.
|
||||
It needs to be over a certain length and you need the anti-spam question is,
|
||||
what does the P in hacker public radio stand for?
|
||||
And you can write that in an upper or lower case.
|
||||
That'll be fine.
|
||||
Sometimes if you're commenting on older episodes that are more than two weeks old
|
||||
or on newer episodes that are newer, that are in the future feed,
|
||||
you will be asked additional questions because those are spam tactics
|
||||
that spammers use to comment on older episodes.
|
||||
So we have additional questions in there.
|
||||
What you need to answer is the following question.
|
||||
Are you a spammer?
|
||||
Yes or no?
|
||||
So you click the S button.
|
||||
And are you which host delivered that show?
|
||||
And there's a list of common people who we as yes have not had as host
|
||||
and you just look over the top.
|
||||
So this one you would pick tattoo from that drop down list.
|
||||
And then you need to put in some text to convince myself and the team
|
||||
that you are a hbr person.
|
||||
So whatever that shows us to be.
|
||||
It's some of the things I've got back from that have been very funny
|
||||
and have cheered me up no end.
|
||||
So yeah, this show, Diff, and Patch.
|
||||
Classics from the two about how you can create a Diff and using,
|
||||
so you have a big large file and you want to make some small changes in that.
|
||||
You send just the Diff file which is tiny and you apply it to the large file and then
|
||||
you have exactly the same changes as the other person.
|
||||
I used this show a two day when I was opening a book.
|
||||
So very useful.
|
||||
How does to your literally this show add to your toolbox and you will be glad
|
||||
of it.
|
||||
It will you will use this information.
|
||||
Yeah, this reminds me of the the no forge
|
||||
get contributing method.
|
||||
Yes, or use some of the patch?
|
||||
Yes, how do you want you to Diff out your patches and all of that?
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
So yeah, it seems a bit scary the first time you see it, but then you kind of get the
|
||||
anger, but particularly if you've if you've done it for a while.
|
||||
The following day was episode five from the New Year's show.
|
||||
Great work from you.
|
||||
And, oh, who else was that?
|
||||
Why?
|
||||
HB and Honky Muffin.
|
||||
Hello, Krab Mr. Lovecraft.
|
||||
Thank you, yes, of course.
|
||||
Unfortunately, I get I get blinded by the names.
|
||||
Anyway, and excellent links in there to everything that was covered on the show.
|
||||
I really did enjoy listening to those shows.
|
||||
And I also enjoyed being on them.
|
||||
Archers of the two had a top tip for me, one which I know I'll be using in the future.
|
||||
And I kind of guess I know what day I'll be using it on around December the 30th.
|
||||
Next year of this year, actually, recording audio player streaming to Dark Ice.
|
||||
So a brief overview of streaming a vinyl record from his laptop.
|
||||
You heard that folks correctly.
|
||||
You play a vinyl record and then you stream it out to Dark Ice.
|
||||
So what's Dark Ice?
|
||||
You may ask it's a live audio streamer.
|
||||
So it allows you to click on the link on the website and play the stream.
|
||||
Again, no comments.
|
||||
Yeah, another great show from Archer, allowing you to free yourself from some of the,
|
||||
you know, the Spotify's and other things out there using your own music.
|
||||
Yeah, exactly.
|
||||
And there was a major outage in Spain and Portugal this week.
|
||||
So I guess a lot of people were without Spotify for the first time in their lives.
|
||||
At the view of the real world.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
And yes, bit of preparations also know her.
|
||||
Lee had to show mirror mirror on the wall.
|
||||
Lee talks about running a private Ubuntu mirror.
|
||||
Very good idea if you got like multiple,
|
||||
multiple servers inside a firewall back in the day.
|
||||
This was something that we did quite a lot in order to,
|
||||
yeah, but it was also of benefit to be able to host our own packages on on the local mirror.
|
||||
And then it just became seamless essentially.
|
||||
Very useful there, even if you're not interested in that in the SFTP.
|
||||
And how to set it up as well.
|
||||
That's something else that you may be asked to do in your IT career from time to time.
|
||||
And you can come back to this here.
|
||||
Yeah, loving the show notes.
|
||||
Short sweetened to the point.
|
||||
So the show notes have got the front-up section, the up mirror section,
|
||||
the mirror list section, and the config for VSFTP.
|
||||
And then Ubuntu sources list.
|
||||
So everything that you need to get it up and running without having to skip the ads
|
||||
or without having to fast forward the video or without having to play 15 videos calls.
|
||||
They were all just, yeah, I still.
|
||||
And we have Murph finally submitting a show.
|
||||
This is great news.
|
||||
HPR listener for a long time back in the twat days today with the techie.
|
||||
That's nearly that not isn't nearly that is 20 years ago this year, 20 years ago.
|
||||
And some of the topics that note out he will be covering in his next episodes is the Vic 20.
|
||||
Commodore was my first computer actually.
|
||||
Amiga, C programming, very good, very good.
|
||||
Slackware, spangle, pangle con, loads of loads of stuff.
|
||||
And there nobody left him a comment, which is kind of weird.
|
||||
But hopefully, particularly when new hosts come along, what's great is if people can comment on them
|
||||
and try and get lists the type of episodes that you would like to hear them play.
|
||||
Good.
|
||||
What is goofball?
|
||||
goofball?
|
||||
Yeah, it's one of the tags goofball Linux goofball.
|
||||
Yeah, well, you need to do a show, tell us what goofball is.
|
||||
And the following day, we did have a germ who had
|
||||
an episode on how they came into Linux and free software.
|
||||
And there were two comments.
|
||||
The first one was from Archer 72.
|
||||
First episode, thanks for your first show.
|
||||
There are a few topics that will be of interest.
|
||||
It's almost as if Archer 72 is traveling his inner can there.
|
||||
Elder Scrolls, a basic idea of how to play it.
|
||||
I'm not a gamer.
|
||||
And if you want tips on how to cover a something like this,
|
||||
have a listen to the hookah show on.
|
||||
He's covered some of the games over there.
|
||||
Second point, Archer would like to suggest is more details on org d20.
|
||||
And of course, exwm, more details on that.
|
||||
Next comment from Paul Jay.
|
||||
Welcome to HPR.
|
||||
Congratulations on the first show on.
|
||||
Thank you for giving me credit for giving you to take the first steps.
|
||||
I think you have many topics of interest to HPR listeners.
|
||||
And I would certainly like to hear more about your Gnu,
|
||||
your Geeks experience, and org d20.
|
||||
Your home automation journey would also provide a rich stem of topics that are great
|
||||
interest. I look forward to your next show.
|
||||
Exactly, actually, I was going to say that as well.
|
||||
That came up.
|
||||
Very good.
|
||||
Thanks Paul for those comments.
|
||||
We do have a fledgling home automation series and whenever I get some of that mystical stuff
|
||||
called free time, then I hope to be able to continue to contribute episodes to that.
|
||||
And Paul Jay, who had just left a comment, left the next episode, which was fostering my personal
|
||||
experiences and foster is basically an overview of what it was like to be there and stuff like that.
|
||||
And I really found this an enjoyable show.
|
||||
Made me sad that I wasn't able to go to foster stem to experiences with them.
|
||||
But foster stem is so draining.
|
||||
I go there, I go into hyper mode, but it was also nice to hear
|
||||
somebody's view from just going as an all free open source, liberal open source,
|
||||
enthusiast, and just enjoying the episode, enjoying the event.
|
||||
Yeah, you get to live my curiously through them.
|
||||
Exactly. So the next day was the 18th and it was part of a hook series on science fiction.
|
||||
In this one, he's covering Isaac Azimov robot nulls.
|
||||
And these are my absolute favorites from Isaac Azimov.
|
||||
And when I was young, I just devoured these books, really, really loved them.
|
||||
Yeah, I can't do any fantasy. My imagination is broken.
|
||||
So if it's not something I have actually seen before, it just draws a blank.
|
||||
And you might want to try, I wrote about if you have ever seen the
|
||||
bicentennial man, the movie from Robin Williams.
|
||||
It's an adaptation of that. It's quite a nice short story.
|
||||
There's a whole series of short stories, quite not.
|
||||
So the next day, Swift 110, on my own time, expresses a frustration about people who
|
||||
push their choice of distro on others. When I was reading this, I was thinking, oh my god,
|
||||
no, we're going to never rant. We're going to have to deal with the outlet.
|
||||
But it wasn't about that. It was a thoughtful, nice episode.
|
||||
And Paul left some very good comments on it. Do you want to do them?
|
||||
Or is it my turn?
|
||||
I got it.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Paul J.
|
||||
I get it.
|
||||
I grouped the comments about distros.
|
||||
I think the most important thing is to pick a distro and stick with it.
|
||||
Get good and understand how it's built and maintained.
|
||||
Ideally, start to engage with the community behind it.
|
||||
And when a problem arises, you can fix it.
|
||||
Perhaps upstream the solution.
|
||||
I never push my choice of distro onto others.
|
||||
But if they are interested, I'm willing to share and support the effort to use it.
|
||||
It's not arched, by the way.
|
||||
Very good.
|
||||
Now, good advice.
|
||||
They're all around.
|
||||
I mean, it's a journey.
|
||||
You know, you come to Linux the first time and you go,
|
||||
it's too hard and it's all stupid.
|
||||
I'm never using it again.
|
||||
You go back to your old ROS.
|
||||
And then you come back to Linux.
|
||||
And then you're so enthusiastic about all these distros.
|
||||
Give me all the shiny.
|
||||
And then you find that you're running like default install
|
||||
of a standard operating system for the last 10 years and five years.
|
||||
And I mean, you don't even change the background color.
|
||||
Yes, at the same time, everything is scripted to the 9s and copies over
|
||||
because it's all in your home directory.
|
||||
So yeah, I don't know.
|
||||
Seven seven stages of was a 12 stages of of Linux.
|
||||
Elizabeth's first episode where she talks about her journey to tech,
|
||||
how she went to HPR and special interests and brought brought to us by Lee.
|
||||
There was a nice selection of comments on this.
|
||||
Archer 72 says welcome and cybersecurity.
|
||||
Hello, welcome to our community for your interest in books.
|
||||
May I recommend the audio book club series hack about the radio.
|
||||
And then it's it's a link 157.
|
||||
Google's cybersecurity certification sounds interesting,
|
||||
even though I personally don't have any experience in the field.
|
||||
There are people here that do like operator.
|
||||
Here we have Trey.
|
||||
Welcome, Elizabeth.
|
||||
Thank you for sharing your introduction and how you got here.
|
||||
It is said that so many cyber jobs require a four-year degree
|
||||
and when you are extremely skilled self-taught people
|
||||
ready and willing to be a part of the solution.
|
||||
It is great that you have joined HPR.
|
||||
Exactly.
|
||||
As somebody involved in hiring IT people in the past,
|
||||
it's very, very difficult to convince the IT HR department.
|
||||
Don't always look at the degrees.
|
||||
Look at the experience more.
|
||||
When we've had in my career, not necessarily where I work now,
|
||||
we've had lots of people who didn't ever degree just come in
|
||||
and are now like operating at architect level and don't have to do the job thing
|
||||
because they're they're headhunted from one place to the next.
|
||||
Good, more power today.
|
||||
So I hope it works out for Elizabeth.
|
||||
But then again, I am glad I listened to my mother get that little bit of paper,
|
||||
even though it's in mechanical engineering, but it's still a bit of paper.
|
||||
Paul Jay says welcome to HPR Elizabeth.
|
||||
Hi, Elizabeth.
|
||||
Thanks for the great show and welcome to HPR.
|
||||
I look forward to some interesting shows in the future.
|
||||
It sounds like you have many things to share.
|
||||
Did we share what kind of some of the things in the tags?
|
||||
Tech, Intro, Mental Health, Atari, Cessna.
|
||||
Hello.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
We have a mental health series.
|
||||
Atari, yeah, retro commuting, big thing.
|
||||
I know certain people are interested in
|
||||
aeroplanes and all that that entails.
|
||||
So yeah, feel free to talk to us about that,
|
||||
about building your own and maintaining your airplane.
|
||||
That would be awesome.
|
||||
Next, we have FXB, welcome.
|
||||
Good show, Elizabeth.
|
||||
Nice to hear the different perspective on your journey in the tech.
|
||||
Looking forward to more shows and subjects of interest.
|
||||
And Kevin O'Brien comes in, loved the show.
|
||||
I enjoyed your introduction and look forward to hearing more from you.
|
||||
So that brings it to somebody else's first episode.
|
||||
Is this like three-in-a-roll or something?
|
||||
This is happy.
|
||||
Here, happy days.
|
||||
I thought for a second we were being de-dust.
|
||||
So this from Cosmoc or KO3Moc,
|
||||
short introduction to my journey into Linux,
|
||||
Python, Foss, and Ham Radio.
|
||||
All of those we have tags and series on all of those
|
||||
topics right there.
|
||||
So please continue to just continue your shows.
|
||||
Just on that radio thing, we're doing a,
|
||||
I've got a whole list of how to pass the hierarchy thing.
|
||||
So let's set up a meeting later about that one.
|
||||
Archer 72 says, first show, welcome.
|
||||
Congratulations on your first show.
|
||||
We have something in common as I also collect Raspberry Pis
|
||||
and I have at least one from Generation 1 to 5.
|
||||
Ah yes, sitting nice and neatly in the drawer.
|
||||
Another comment from Archer 72,
|
||||
Ham Radio.
|
||||
I again, I noticed that you,
|
||||
that on one of your topics is Ham Radio.
|
||||
My call sign is KD9VMW.
|
||||
That's Kilo Delta 9 or Victor Mike Whiskey.
|
||||
I haven't had a chance to transmit,
|
||||
but would like to hear about your experiences in the field
|
||||
and how you did on the, on the licensing test.
|
||||
Yes, and I am PO7 Ken and G5 Ken.
|
||||
So yes, let's do this.
|
||||
Go go go.
|
||||
The following day we had the new year show with more,
|
||||
more excellent links, which I promised you that I would convert.
|
||||
It's too risky.
|
||||
I need to ping myself about that one.
|
||||
It's fine.
|
||||
No, I just sent myself an email in the room and I'll do it.
|
||||
It's easy enough.
|
||||
So where are we?
|
||||
Yes, new year show.
|
||||
Again, as I said before, it was really, really strange.
|
||||
You know, he started the top and the links to A or S33
|
||||
and the end link is the great American for your festival.
|
||||
So a typical new year show right there.
|
||||
Yeah, lots of variety.
|
||||
So this is one operator talks about a move from mint to rocket money
|
||||
and getting scammed, basically.
|
||||
This is stuff that we don't really have in my life
|
||||
and come across it in Europe as much.
|
||||
But I guess this is stuff that you deal with fairly commonly in the US, is it?
|
||||
Yes, tons of scammers everywhere in this game.
|
||||
I'll just spare everyone to run it on it, but it's everywhere.
|
||||
You have done a fantastic show on Scamming and I really,
|
||||
I remember now what I was doing at the time I was painting a door
|
||||
and I nearly cried at like a one point in a square that they got scammed
|
||||
and then the scammers call up again to say,
|
||||
oh, we hear that you've been scammed.
|
||||
We're from the FBI.
|
||||
We'll get the money back.
|
||||
Just come back.
|
||||
Yes, the recovery scammers.
|
||||
Yes, come back.
|
||||
I'm to one, possibly in response to one of the comments,
|
||||
says my audio set up and editing,
|
||||
recording with the dynamic microphone,
|
||||
monitoring in real time with a headphone,
|
||||
and then editing it all, it all basically definitely in response to the various different
|
||||
comments about the audio set up.
|
||||
It's good when people go through the set up, I always find it interesting.
|
||||
Oh, yeah.
|
||||
That shows that he's listening.
|
||||
He understands that the community is giving him feedback and he's doing what we want
|
||||
other people to do.
|
||||
Do a show on it.
|
||||
There you go.
|
||||
Add a comment.
|
||||
You never know if somebody might do a show or even a series of shows.
|
||||
So on the 29th, I need to keep track of the days because
|
||||
Dave was always pulled me back from the edge.
|
||||
My first episode by 0X0, of which was 0 binary.
|
||||
I always like to hear the sources of people's handles.
|
||||
This is a good one.
|
||||
Introduction to HPR Codeberg up there.
|
||||
Oh, well, where do I start?
|
||||
Archlinix, command line, bash,
|
||||
said shell, scripting.
|
||||
He had me at Archvernos.
|
||||
So more episodes.
|
||||
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
|
||||
Just going to the tag section, requested topics, pop them here.
|
||||
And I did have a look at his Codeberg stuff.
|
||||
Some very, very useful links in there.
|
||||
And no commenters yet, but no doubt people will start commenting once they hear this show.
|
||||
The last episode of the month was lessons learned,
|
||||
moderating technical discussion panels.
|
||||
So this is tips for effectively moderating tech panels.
|
||||
So also no comments in this one.
|
||||
But it was very useful, very useful episode.
|
||||
And I got a lot of tips out of it because,
|
||||
yeah, essentially that's what we're doing here, I guess.
|
||||
So yes, can do better, we'll do better.
|
||||
Any thoughts?
|
||||
I haven't gotten to this one yet.
|
||||
Okay, that's unfortunate as we have,
|
||||
it's also fine, that's what happens at the end of the month.
|
||||
But we can always come back to us if you leave a comment on there.
|
||||
So that was pretty much all of the,
|
||||
all the shows that we went through this month.
|
||||
I spoiled, spoiled for having five new hosts.
|
||||
Do you reckon we could beat that next month?
|
||||
What do you think?
|
||||
Oh, definitely.
|
||||
There's a ton of people already lining up to do shows.
|
||||
Yeah, we have a 120,000 subscribers monthly unique IP addresses.
|
||||
So surely, surely they can't all be spammers, although.
|
||||
So there were, if we go back to the main page for this episode,
|
||||
HBR4371, there were eight other comments on previous shows.
|
||||
The first one was the two software I use,
|
||||
but the software that I use, the FUTU keyboard and the I non-reader,
|
||||
INO reader by Antoine.
|
||||
Archers of DC who says,
|
||||
read my setup and the community show,
|
||||
and he said hi Antoine.
|
||||
I was listening to the community show and Ken was right.
|
||||
God, there's a first.
|
||||
Anyway, Ken was right.
|
||||
Sorry, what was that?
|
||||
Ken was right.
|
||||
This would make great show or a series of shows.
|
||||
Audio setups are definitely of interest Tigers,
|
||||
which of course he ruined it and went ahead and did a show on that.
|
||||
So I can't book him anymore.
|
||||
Well done, Antoine.
|
||||
And well done, Archer 72.
|
||||
Oh yeah, and Archer gave us a show on his setup.
|
||||
Well, I actually might have been by like a year or so ago
|
||||
when he got those new Bluetooth lavalier mics and stuff.
|
||||
So he's also done a show on his setup.
|
||||
Yeah, and you can too.
|
||||
Even if that's just a crappy microphone,
|
||||
you found some app or somewhere on the F-Troid store.
|
||||
Go for it.
|
||||
Do you have the, oh yeah, I'll do the next one
|
||||
because it's a me thing.
|
||||
Gimp fixing tools.
|
||||
And I just added a link to a bug report.
|
||||
Yeah, that was during the show.
|
||||
You added a note in there.
|
||||
What was the podcast can play on Somos?
|
||||
Oh yeah, that was during the show
|
||||
to far the person who reported the bug on Somos.
|
||||
They haven't contacted me.
|
||||
So I guess I nobody who uses Somos got back to me.
|
||||
So what are we going to do?
|
||||
Close the bug country.
|
||||
Fix.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Our next comment comes from Dave on the Nickel Harper.
|
||||
Oh, I'm so glad I'm not doing this.
|
||||
I've never pronounced that.
|
||||
I'm not a musician, but I've always been fascinated
|
||||
with unusual musical instruments,
|
||||
including the Nickel Harper.
|
||||
YouTube just offered me a video about this instrument.
|
||||
So I thought I'd share in case anyone else might want to see it.
|
||||
And he gives the link for the YouTube video.
|
||||
And Kevin O'Brien says, cool.
|
||||
I love that video.
|
||||
Thanks for sharing.
|
||||
I also watched a video on what was very impressed.
|
||||
I was nice, nice, basically a session using the Nickel Harper.
|
||||
So 20 or 30 minutes, it's pretty cool.
|
||||
Go watch it.
|
||||
Um, so in the review of the YR01 smart lock, uh,
|
||||
Windigo said, he had similar frustrations.
|
||||
Thanks for the review.
|
||||
I'm in a similar situation with some of my arumates and air quotes.
|
||||
And this might be a good compromise.
|
||||
I will never understand people who complain about locked doors and physical keys.
|
||||
I know, right?
|
||||
Animals, apparently.
|
||||
Yes, they're using physical keys.
|
||||
All right.
|
||||
So we have Ron on the next comment saying the problem with pass codes.
|
||||
One issue I've had, one issue I've had come across,
|
||||
probably to do with grain of my memory, uh,
|
||||
along with the grain of my beard.
|
||||
I have been using a key fob to open my Yamari lock for the last month.
|
||||
And the other day I tried to use my pin code.
|
||||
And apparently I can't correctly remember it.
|
||||
Yeah, that's an issue.
|
||||
Yeah, that's an issue.
|
||||
And then you go to the flower pot and you take the physical key from under the last
|
||||
and you go and open the one.
|
||||
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
||||
Um, and the last second to last comment,
|
||||
transferred large data sets.
|
||||
This is by Harry Larry.
|
||||
Um, and Paul Jay said, thanks for this.
|
||||
I need to sort out backups on my jelly fan server.
|
||||
And this is useful information to help me sort it out.
|
||||
Thank you.
|
||||
There you go.
|
||||
That right there is my, the mirrors of a show.
|
||||
It's not the number of listeners.
|
||||
It's not the number of subscribers.
|
||||
It's the number of people who benefit from your show.
|
||||
That's what sharing knowledge is all about guys.
|
||||
Oh, yeah.
|
||||
Or how to chuckle with radio.
|
||||
The free flowing of knowledge.
|
||||
That's it.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Or how to chuckle.
|
||||
Medter day a little bit better.
|
||||
And the last one, are you able to do that?
|
||||
Or shall I?
|
||||
Yes, this is on the, uh, uh, brief review of the Payant Add 2
|
||||
by Swift 110.
|
||||
We have a comment here by Kevin O'Brien,
|
||||
or on the, uh, Zareason.
|
||||
And I was a fan of the Zareason as well.
|
||||
Unfortunately, it is one of the many businesses
|
||||
that disappeared due to the COVID pandemic.
|
||||
That is not good news, not good news.
|
||||
But thanks for that, Kevin.
|
||||
And let's move you over to the mailing.
|
||||
And it was kind of, uh, we already covered
|
||||
the every single, uh, EOS tap, I think.
|
||||
And then we have a community news, uh,
|
||||
discussions for the show.
|
||||
So not a lot going on.
|
||||
However, I do want to knit back to, um,
|
||||
previous list.
|
||||
And the, uh, we have a policy discussion,
|
||||
removal of non-free CC by NC licenses.
|
||||
That is still open.
|
||||
And I will assume that we're doing it at this point,
|
||||
because the, uh, one objection to it was, um,
|
||||
it was from tattoo and, uh, he came around to,
|
||||
to my view, or at least accepts the reasoning for it.
|
||||
I do want to bring it to all the hosts.
|
||||
So I'll be sending an email out to all the hosts, um,
|
||||
over the coming period, if I remember.
|
||||
And, and all that sort of thing.
|
||||
But if, if you disagree with this as a concept,
|
||||
then, um, now is the time to be, um,
|
||||
signing up for the mail list and commenting.
|
||||
Yeah, I think, I think many of the hosts ultimately said along,
|
||||
you know, it's, it's great.
|
||||
An idea to have the additional license,
|
||||
since it like the, the non-commercial and all that.
|
||||
However, you made the argument that in practice,
|
||||
it, it just will not work out.
|
||||
Yeah, that's it.
|
||||
Like in theory, yeah.
|
||||
Um, okay, so I can't believe it, but are, are we actually done?
|
||||
Sounds like it.
|
||||
I think that comes down to not having Scottish people here,
|
||||
you know, slowing us down.
|
||||
Yeah, okay, we're going to spit the hell for that one.
|
||||
And that, that was pretty much it.
|
||||
So, uh, thank you very much for joining, uh,
|
||||
uh, uh, Scotty, sorry for, I kept you waiting there for a while.
|
||||
Hope everything is, uh, better with, uh,
|
||||
Kevvie, um, and yet, so, guys,
|
||||
