We started as Today with a Techie 8 years, 6 months, 13 days ago. Our shows are produced by listeners like you and can be on any topic that "are of interest to hackers". If you listen to HPR then please consider contributing one show a year. If you record your show now it could be released in 11 days.
In this episode, nybill and pokey conduct interviews and generally have a good time at the 2014 Northeast GNU/Linux Fest.
Some links to follow for things that were discussed in this episode:
We all had a great time recording this show, and we hope you enjoyed it as well. Please join us at the next Northeast Gnu/Linux Fest if you can. Thank you very much for listening.

P.S. Some people enjoy finding mistakes. For their enjoyment, we have included a few.
In this episode CPrompt and his friend Matt go through their entire process of putting together a Raspberry Pi, installing the OS and setting up RaspBMC.
After listening to Ahuka describe his favourite podcasts on HPR1479 and HPR1482 I was surprised to see how few of the shows we listen to overlap. There are so many podcasts out there it's always good to be able to get recommendations. I present to you my list of 30 podcasts (I had to cull the list down a bit).

As stated on the HPR Contribution page
We will continue to promote new podcasts and other creative commons material but due to a lack of slots, we are only releasing material created exclusively for HPR. If there is a piece of creative commons content that you would like to promote, then feel free to record a regular show where you introduce the content and explain why it is important, providing links to where we can get more information.
Today I am doing just that. As a member of the HPR community, I would like to bring the podcast LINUX LUDDITES with the tag line "Not all change is progress". Taking their name from "Linux" the an operating system kernel by Linus Torvalds, and "Luddites" from the 19th-century English textile artisans who protested against newly developed labour-saving machinery.
I am submitting Episode 11 as it includes a fascinating interview with Rob Landley, former maintainer of BusyBox and covers among other things his experiences of GPL enforcement. For complete episode show notes see http://linuxluddites.com/shows/episode-11/
If this podcast is not in your feed, you would do very well to add it.
If there is a show is new to the scene, ie not on the linuxlink.net, then contact us about it and also consider submitting an episode as a featured podcast.
All spreadsheets have the same basic structure, a table of rows and columns. Columns are headed up A, B, C, and so on. After Z, the next column is AA, then AB, AC, AD, and so on. The maximum number of columns is 1024. Rows are numbered 1,2,3 and so on, and the maximum number of rows is 1024*1024, or 1,048,576. At this time I am not aware of any plans to increase these numbers, though that could change if competitive pressures make it necessary.
Where a row and column intersect, there is a cell, which is given the address of the column followed by the row, e.g. A1, but never 1A. This is very useful since you can use the contents of a cell in a calculation by simply using the cell address. For example, to add the value of cell B4 to the value in cell C3 and store it, you would write “=B4+C3″ in the cell where you want to store the sum. Learning to use cell addresses is extremely important, so get in the habit of doing this at every opportunity.

TuxJam is a podcast that reviews lesser known Free and Open Source Software projects interspersed with Creative Commons licensed music. TuxJam 31 is a special for HPR.
In today's community news we discuss the happenings in the HPR community. On the mumble were Dave Morris and Ken Fallon, while we were joined by Pokey and NYBill from the North East Linux Fest. During the show we also heard from Bruce Patterson formally of the Distro weekly podcast. x1101 a HPR listener and soon to be new contributor and finally Paul from paul dot com Paul's Security Weekly.
There were no new hosts this month.
We got very few shows lately and were it not for the backup shows been moved into the main queue we would be in trouble.

Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available on the Gmane archive.
Discussed this month was:
In a discussion started by Dave Morris. Some felt that the content was getting stale, and keeping shows for 2 years or even 3 months was too long. Others felt that these shows were contributed with the purpose of been used in an emergency and therefore should be timeless.
Eventually it was left to each of the contributors that had shows in the backup queue to release them, or to set them as emergency shows. The website has been updated to reflect this change.

It was also agreed to allow this show to be reserved.
What is on my podcast player
My web site is at hhttp://www.zwilnik.com/.
Remember to support free software!
Last time we looked at how you can use GPG and Enigmail to digitally sign or encrypt messages in Thunderbird. But today many people use web-based mail, and one of the most popular is Googles Gmail. Others include Outlook.com and Yahoo, but using any of them is pretty similar. So since I have a Gmail account handy, I will use that to demonstrate encryption in web mail accounts.
The important thing you must keep in mind is that this relies on you using your GPG keys to either sign or encrypt the message before it leaves your computer, what Steve Gibson calls Pre-Interent Encryption, or PIE. The flaw in what Lavabit did (discussed in previous lesson) was to use keys that the mail provider controlled, and these keys could be (and were) demanded by the the government.. If you use your own GPG keys that you control, no provider (Google, in this case) is even capable of giving anything to the government other than a blob of random nonsense.
To do this, I will use an extension for Googles Chrome Browser called Mailvelope. This is also available for Firefox, but in my case I use Chrome to access my Gmail account., so using a Chrome extension makes sense for me. The first thing to do is go to the Chrome store, search for Mailvelope, and install it.
