Ep0914: Sunday Morning Linux Review: Episode 014

2012-02-01

Syndicated Thursdays A chance to showcase other Creative Commons works. We try to expose podcasts, speeches, presentations, music, etc that you may not have heard. If you have suggestions for items then send your recommendation to admin at hpr and we'll add it to the queue. Sunday Morning Linux Review: Episode 014 January 15th, 2012 http://smlr.us Intro: Mat Enders, Tony Bemus, and Mary Tomich Kernel News: Mat Release Canidates None Main Line 3.2 no change Stable Releases Greg KH announced the release of the 2.6.32.54 Kernel Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:13:20 UTC There were 18 files changed, 167 files inserted, and 66 files deleted Greg KH announced the release of the 3.0.17 Kernel Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:21:36 UTC There were 52 files changed, 364 files inserted, and 179 files deleted Greg KH announced the release of the 3.1.9 Kernel Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:22:18 UTC There were 53 files changed, 367 files inserted, and 179 files deleted Greg KH announced the release of the 3.2.1 Kernel Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:25:05 UTC There were 63 files changed, 465 files inserted, and 200 files deleted Kernel Quote "Here’s the different active kernel versions that I am maintaining at the moment: 3.2.y – this will be maintained until 3.3 comes out 3.1.y – there will be only one, maybe two, more releases of this tree 3.0.y – this is the new "longterm" kernel release, it will be maintained for 2 years at the minimum by me. 2.6.32.y – this is the previous "longterm" kernel release. It is approaching it’s end-of-life, and I think I only have another month or so doing releases of this. After I am finished with it, it might be picked up by someone else, but I’m not going to promise anything. All other longterm kernels are being maintained in various forms (usually quite sporadically, if at all), by other people, and I can not speak for their lifetime at all, that is up to those individuals." – Greg Kroah-Hartman There was also a bit of a dust up between Tim Gardner of Canonical and Greg Kroah-Hartman over maintenance of the 2.6.32 kernel once greg gives it up. It appears to have been started by a misunderstanding and a conclusion jump by Tim. Distro News: Tony Distrowatch.com 1-13 – PC-BSD 9.0 – desktop-oriented distribution based on the latest stable FreeBSD 1-12 – FreeBSD 9.0 – a major new version of the BSD operating featuring a brand-new system installer 1-12 – Webconverger 11.0 – a web browser-only specialist distribution for Internet kiosks 1-11 – Astaro Security Gateway 8.3 – specialist distribution for firewall and gateways 1-10 - Asturix 4 – Ubuntu-based desktop distribution with a custom desktop environment and many usability improvements 1-10 – Fuduntu 2012.1 – a new quarterly update of the distribution that was forked from Fedora last year 1-8 – Porteus 1.1 – Slackware-based live CD with a choice of Trinity (a KDE 3 fork), KDE 4 and LXDE desktops Mat did you know about the KDE 3 fork, Trinity? Distro of the Week: Tony Fuduntu – 1433 openSUSE – 1440 Fedora – 1495 Ubuntu – 1873 Mint – 4248 Tech News: Microsoft Now Collects Extortion On Approximatley 70% Of All US Sales Of Androids LG is the latest victim to pay Microsoft’s extortion demands. They are the eleventh victim in this extortion scheme. A list of the other victims includes Samsung, HTC, and Acer. This leaves Motorola Mobility as the only major manufacturer to not sign an extortion agreement with Microsoft. I would wager that Microsoft has not even approached Motorola as Google now owns Motorola and those pockets are deep enough to scare off the Microsoft patent trolls. Microsoft now claims that they are collecting "royalties" on over 70% of all Android smart phones sold in the US. The terms of this latest agreement are unknown as Microsoft makes part of the agreement that the parties can not make public the patents covered by Microsoft’s claims. In other words a typical extortion agreement. The MPAA Instigates A Dustup with Ars Technica On 1/10 the MPAA (Motion Picture Associtation of America) said on it’s blog, "… Ars Technica, a tech blog with a long history of challenging efforts to curb content theft,". This entire claim by the MPAA appears to be Ars Technica opposing things in the past like the broadcast flag which would have allowed remote control of peoples home entertainment recording devices, along with their stand against DRM that prevents owners from ripping legal backup copies of their DVDs. Ars also has publicly opposed the horrendous SOPA legislation currently in front of Congress. It is obvious that the MPAA’s position is the wacky correlation of fighting for consumers’ rights is the equivalent of having no enforcement at all. Not that any representative of the MPAA would ever engage in outlandish statements to further their cause. Like this quote from Jack Valenti when he appeared before congress in 1982, "I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone." United States Migrates Spy Drone Control Panels From Windows To Linux Last September the ground control systems for the Reaper drones, which reside at the Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, became infected with a virus. When it happed the Air Force dismissed this intrusion as a nuisance that posed no real threat, it was however taken very seriously. Still the discovery of this virus on the Air Force’s systems was a huge embarrassment. This is what they had to say at the time: "The malware in question is a credential stealer, not a key logger, found routinely on computer networks and is considered more of a nuisance than an operational threat. It is not designed to transmit data or video, nor is it designed to corrupt data, files or programs on the infected computer. Our tools and processes detect this type of malware as soon as it appears on the system, preventing further reach.", they also went on to say, "The ground system is separate from the flight control system Air Force pilots use to fly the aircraft remotely; the ability of the pilots to safely fly these aircraft remained secure throughout the incident," Screen shots of drone control computers posted by security researcher Mikko Hypponen show that some of the systems have been migrated from Microsoft Windows to Linux. In a statement Mikko Hypponen said, "If I would need to select between Windows XP and a Linux based system while building a military system, I wouldn’t doubt a second which one I would take." Open Source Surgery, a Robot called Raven takes Flight The Raven 2 is a surgical robot with 7 degrees of freedom, compact electronics and two wing-like arms which end in tiny gripper claws designed to perform surgery on simulated patients. The robot’s software is compatible with Robot Operating System, an open source robotics coding platform.

Ep0908: TV Downloader TED

2012-01-24

Hello everyone its riddle box, sorry its been so long since I have done a podcast. Today I am going to tell you about my kinda sorta home dvr that I have at the moment. No, this isn't another show talking about mythtv....even though the mythtv project is a good one... our myth box at home died a while back and we lost three tuner cards which I hadn't realized how expensive the setup was getting to be needing all of the tuner cards and a back end server that could handle everything. So I looked at a debian server I have been using as my zoneminder server which just records two a cameras when there is motion. I found a Java app called TED - or torrent episode downloaded from www.Ted.nu. as the name states it uses torrents to download the shows. with this application which you download and launch from the jar file.. I had to use a --no-tray switch to get it to run. Once you open the jar file you are greeted with the app and a list of the popular shows. You can tell it to start torrenting those shows and you can tell Ted the frequency of how often to look for new shows. You can even tell it to he past shows. So Igot Ted all configured the way I wanted then I setup a guest samba share on my downloads folder so my blue ray player can see the share and now I just go to my blue ray player and see what shows are available to watch. Some shows may show up a couple days after they air but overall it works great.

Ep0899: Sunday Morning Linux Review - New Year Show

2012-01-11

Episode 012 http://smlr.us Total Running Time 1hr 22:48 Intro: Mat Enders, Tony Bemus, and Mary Tomich Intro Sound bite by Mike Tanner Kernel News: Mat Time: 3:15 Linux 3.2-rc7 There it is, likely the last -rc in before final 3.2, so please do check it out in between your holiday festivities. Most of the changes are faily simple one-liners, but some qla4xxx driver updates stand out and in fact account for about 40% of the diff ("qla4xxx: fix flash/ddb support"). That, together with a VMWare DRI driver update and some dvb updates and the regular random driver fixes means that 80+% of the changes are in drivers. Some net updates, some SH updates, and then a (tiny) smattering of other stuff. The appended shortlog gives the (fairly boring) details - Linus Distro News: Tony Time: 7:14 Distrowatch.com 1-1 openSUSE 12.1 Edu Li-f-e 1-1 - aptosid 2011-03 - 12-31 - siduction 11.1 - desktop-oriented distribution and live CD/DVD based on Debian’s unstable branch, recently forked from aptosid 12-31 - ExTiX 9 - Ubuntu-based desktop distribution for 64-bit computers with GNOME Shell and Razor-qt as the available desktop environments and the latest stable Linux kernel 12-31 - Linux Deepin 11.12 - from China based on Ubuntu, announced its 11.12 release on the last day of the year 12-30 - Netrunner 4.0 - a Kubuntu-based desktop distribution featuring a carefully-tuned KDE desktop and integrated KDE and GNOME applications 12-30 - Endian Firewall 2.5 - an updated version of the project’s Red Hat-based specialist distribution for firewalls 12-26 - Calculate Linux 11.12 - Gentoo-based distribution set with focus on desktop and server computing 12-26 - Tiny Core Linux 4.2 - a nomadic, ultra-small graphical desktop operating system 12-25 - Superb Mini Server 1.6.3 - a Slackware-based distribution for servers 12-25 - Semplice Linux 2.0.0 - a lightweight desktop distribution based on Debian’s unstable branch and featuring the Openbox window manager 12-23 - Grml 2011.12 - a Debian-based live CD with an excellent collection of GNU/Linux software and scripts for system administrators Distro of the Week: Tony Debian - 1172 CentOS - 1223 Fedora - 1284 Ubuntu - 1571 Mint - 3909 Tech News: Time: 29:27 Vote On SOPA Delayed Until Mid January At The Earliest The SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) vote scheduled for 12/21/11 was postponed until January. A committee spokesperson said that they will not set a new vote date until they return from break in January. This means that the earliest that a scheduled vote could take place would be mid January. This is the second postponement of the committee vote on SOPA, which requires ISPs, Search Engines, and other content providers to alter DNS records and search results. Resulting in the censorship of foreign websites supposedly "dedicated" to providing copyright infringing material. The committee has already had two marathon sessions that ended abruptly after opponents expressed staunch apposition. The artists are not the one behind this law. The huge corporations, lawyers, and boards who are pushing this incredibly bad legislation. Here is a list of the companies behind just one of the lobbying groups pushing SOPA: ABC AFTRA - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists AFM - American Federation of Musicians AAP - Association of American Publishers ASCAP BMG Chrysalis BMI CBS Corporation Cengage Learning DGA - Directors Guild of America Disney Publishing Worldwide, Inc. EMI Music Publishing ESPN Graphic Artists Guild Hachette Book Group HarperCollins Publishers L.L.C. Hyperion IATSE - International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, its Territories and Canada International Brotherhood of Teamsters Kaufman Astoria Studios Macmillan Major League Baseball Marvel Entertainment, LLC McGraw-Hill Education MPA - The Association of Magazine Media NFL - National Football League National Music Publishers’ Association NBCUniversal News Corporation New York Production Alliance New York State AFL-CIO Pearson Education Penguin Group (USA), Inc. The Perseus Books Group Producers Guild of America East Random House Reed Elsevier SAG - Screen Actors Guild Scholastic, Inc. Silvercup Studios Simon & Schuster, Inc. Sony Music Entertainment Sony/ATV Music Publishing Time Warner Inc. United States Tennis Association Universal Music Group Universal Music Publishing Group Viacom Warner Music Group W.W. Norton & Company Wolters Kluwer Now you know who to boycott, but you also have to let them know why you are boycotting them. Several grassroots organizations along with a few tech companies are putting forth a strong effort against this legislation. They have had some effect as arguably the most egregious section has under gone a quick rewrite by Rep. Lamar Smith, Judiciary Committee chair and sponsor of this bill. The changes revealed on Monday 12/12/2011, make the definition of "rogue websites" more narrow. It also clarifies that the take down provisions only apply to foreign websites. There were also several changes intended to alleviate concerns that this legislation would interfere with the architecture of the Internet. Because as it it stands this bill would force American companies to break dns. The NetCoalition which counts AOL, eBay, Facebook, foursquare, Google, IAC, Linkedin, Mozilla, OpnDNS, PayPal, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo!, and the Zynga Game Netwrk as members is proposing a blackout day where all of these websites would go down and just show an anti-SOPA message to visitors when they come to these sites, claims Markham Erickson, who heads the NetCoalition trade association. If all of these sites went dark at the same time it would bring national commerce to a screeching halt. This action would also totally disrupt the lives of the majority of Americans hopefully alerting them to this serious issue and causing them to act. There is still time to try and defeat this horrendous legislation and the people at "DAILY KOS" have made it incredibly easy. If you click on this link it will take you directly to a page the have set up that will walk you through sending your representative an email telling them to vote no on this steaming pile of fecal matter. GoDaddy Rescinds SOPA Support After Huge Boycott Initiative Full disclosure, I have a domain registered with GoDaddy they are just the registrar not the host. On 12/22/2011 the fact that GoDaddy was actively supporting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). The really egregious part was that not only did GoDaddy support SOPA they actually took such an active roll as righting parts of it. So a boycott was started on reddit, which took off like wildfire across the internet. One day later they announced that they were withdrawing their support for SOPA. It is however to late for many high profile domains. Wikimedia Foundation’s Jimmy Wales announced on Twitter that all Wikimedia’s domains will be moved off of GoDaddy. Cheezburger’s Ben Huh also pledged to move his 1000+ domains off of GoDaddy. Hundreds maybe even thousands more people across the internet joined them in leaving GoDaddy. YCombinator founder, Paul Graham issued a ban on all employees of any company on the official list of SOPA supporters from attending YC Demo Day. Here is what he had to say about the ban: "Several of those companies [on the list] send people to Demo Day, and when I saw the list I thought: we should stop inviting them. So yes, we’ll remove anyone from those companies from the Demo Day invite list," He then went on to say this: "If these companies are so clueless about technology that they think SOPA is a good idea, how could they be good investors?" Warren Adelman, Go Daddy’s CEO, had this to say about them rescinding their support for SOPA: "Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation - but we can clearly do better," He then went on to say this also: "It’s very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it." This is a huge win for the free and open internet. It shows that when you can manage to hit a company where it counts, in the bottom line, you really can make them change their position. When you read GoDaddy’s statement the weasilyness jumps right out at you. Which leads me to believe that they are just trying to take the heat off right now and will jump at supporting the next minor revision of SOPA. The Debian Administrator’s Handbook I am going to try and synopsize the information for you, however if you go to http://debian-handbook.info/ you can read the whole story ab out the book. The book is currently published in French under the title Cahier de l’admin Debian. It is the work of two Debian developers Raphaël Hertzog who maintains dpkg along with several other packages and Roland Mas who maintains argyll and a few other packages. They attempted to have several editors take on the English translation but none where willing to take the risk. The two then decided to do the translation themselves, and then self publish the work. In order to facilitate the translation they did a crowdfunding campaign which raised almost 15,000 EUR. They expect the translation to be done around April 2012. They however wanted to take this further and release the book under an open source licenses acceptable to Debian so that the book can be included in Debian as an installable package. Making it a simple apt-get away for anyone running Debian. They have set this goal at 25,000 EUR, you can make a donation to the "liberation fund" here , If you donate 10 EUR or more you are guaranteed a copy when it is ready. If they meet their goal of 25,000 EUR then everyone will be able to get a free copy. I made my donation already if I remember correctly it was about 13.74 USD. So i will get my copy but if we can push this over it would be a great thing. The last time I checked they were at about 65% of their goal. And now a little about the book. This book requires no prior knowledge of Debian. It will cover all of the topics that anyone needs to become an effective Debian administrator. From installation and update to compiling your own kernel and creating Debian packages from sources. Along with backup, migration and advanced topics like SELinux, automated installations, and virtualization. The first half of the book is for anyone who wants to run Debian. It will teach the basics like installing Debian with the Debian installer, finding documentation, basic troubleshooting, and problem solving. Then the second half of the book is server administrators. It will discuss things like securing the server, automating installations, using virtualization, and setting up common services like Apache, Postfix, OpenLDAP, SAMBA, NFS and many more. You can check out the complete table of contacts here There is also a free sample chapter available "The APT Tools." If you would like to check this out to ensure that the book is up to the quality that you expect then you can click here for a PDF of this great chapter. It covers all of the APT tools like apt-get, aptitude, and other associated tools Now to answer some of the questions you may have about this book: Q) Who is this book for? A) Anyone who’s interested by Debian. From a regular user, to the administrator of a small network, or that of a large corporation. Q) How long is it? A) The French paperback was about 450 pages. Q) What version of Debian does it cover? A) the current stable version "Squeeze" So come people lets get out there and get your copy today and move the project that much closer to their goal of Open Sourcing this book. 2011 The Year Of The Tech Giant Passing 2011 has been a year in which we lost more tech giants than ever before, a total of fourteen. Lets start with arguably the best known on this list and end with the one I believe had the biggest impact: Steven Paul Jobs Febuary 1955 - October 2011 Jobs experimented with different pursuits before starting Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak in the Jobs’ family garage. Steve Jobs vision in the consumer electronic market is un paralleled. Hence Apple’s many revolutionary products, such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Which are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology. Robert Morris The Unix Encryption Guy July 1932 - June 2011 Among the Bell Labs researchers who worked on Unix with Thompson and Ritchie was Bob Morris, who developed Unix’s password system, math library, text-processing applications and crypt function. In 1986 Morris left to join the NSA, where he led the agency’s National Computer Security Center until 1994. John McCarthy Originator Of AI September 1927 - October 2011 The creator of the Lisp programming language and the "father of artificial intelligence" (he coined the term in 1956). In 1957 McCarthy started the first work on time-sharing on a computer. That original project led to Multics, which then led to Unix. In the early 1970s he predicted online shopping. This prediction led researcher Whitfield Diffie to create public-key cryptography used in the authentication of e-commerce documents. Ken Olsen The Digital Man February 1926 - February 2011 When he worked at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory in the 50s took note of students queuing up to use an older model computer, called TX-0, even when a more modern and much faster mainframe was available. The big diffrence and the reason that the students lined up for the TX-0 was that the mainframe ran batch jobs and the TX-0 allowed for online interactivity. So in 1957 he and a colleague, Harlan Anderson, ran with that information and $70,000 in start up capital to start DEC (Digital Equipment Corp.) DEC went on to create PDP series of computers of which Ritchie and Thompson created Unix on a PDP-7. Paul Baran The Packet Man April 1926 - March 2011 Baran while working as a researcher for the Rand Corp. in 1961came up the idea that messages can be broken down into smaller pieces, then sent to a destination even via multiple routes if necessary and then put back together when they arrive to ensure delivery. Arpanet adopted Packet switching as its means of communication, Arpanet then grew into the Internet, and eventually for local-area networks in the form of Ethernet. Jean Bartik Last of the First Programmers December 1924 - March 2011 She was the last surviving member of the original programming team for the ENIAC. But that understates her work, she was the only female math graduate in her 1945 college, and she served as a lead programmer on the ENIAC project. Bartik also developed circuit logic and did design work under the direction of ENIAC’s hardware developer, J. Presper Eckert. Jack Keil Wolf Disk Drivin’ Man February 1926 - February 2011 Wolf did more than almost anyone else to use math to cram more data into magnetic drives, flash memory and electronic communications channels. In 1984, he moved to the new Center for Magnetic Recording Research at the University of California, San Diego. It was a good choice. Wolf and his students, dubbed the "Wolf pack," cross-pollinated magnetic drive design with information theory, applying compression in increasingly creative ways, and spread Wolf’s ideas throughout the industry. Julius Blank Creator Of The Silicon In Silicon Valley June 1925 - September 2011 Julius Blank one of the "Traitorous Eight" engineers who founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957. He and his seven colleagues had acquired that unsavory nickname when they left Nobel Prize-winning physicist William Shockley just a year after being recruited to create a new kind of transistor at Shockley Labs. Before going to college, he had been trained as a machinist. Along with eventual venture capitalist Gene Kleiner, Blank built Fairchild’s machine shop, and created the manufacturing machinery that would produce the first silicon based transistors. Robert Galvin Breaker Of The AT&T Mobile Monopoly October 1922 - October 2011 Galvin broke AT&T’s monopoly on mobile-phone service in the U.S. when he demonstrated a Motorola phone for president Reagan at the White House in 1981. Ronald Reagan then pushed the FCC to approve Motorola’s proposal for a competing cellular network. By the time Galvin retired as Motorola’s chairman in 1990, the company dominated the cellphone hardware business. Gerald A. Lawson Creator Of The Video Game Cartridge December 1940 - April 2011 Jerry Lawson a 6-foot-6, more than 250 lbs. African-American, which was even more of an IT industry rarity in the 1970s than today. Lawson’s creation, the Fairchild Channel F, arrived in 1976, a year before Atari’s first home game system, and sparked an industry of third-party video games. Lawson discovered that the biggest challenge with plug-in cartridges was satisfying the FCC’s radio-frequency interference requirements. In a 2006 interview he describes the process: "We had to put the whole motherboard in aluminum. We had a metal chute that went over the cartridge adapter to keep radiation in. Each time we made a cartridge, the FCC wanted to see it, and it had to be tested." Its biggest impact was on Lawson’s friends at Atari, who rushed their own cartridge-based home system into production. The rise of the video game had begun. George Devol The Man With The Robot Arm February 1912 - August 2011 George Devol developed the first digitally programmable robot arm. He also invented a system for recording sound for movies in the 1930s, then switched to systems that used photoelectric cells to open and close doors and sort bar-coded packages. Devol turned his inventiveness to factory automation in the 1950s. The large programmable "Unimate" arm he developed used magnetic drum memory and discrete solid-state control components. It made its factory debut in 1961 on a General Motors assembly line in New Jersey, stacking freshly die-cast (and very hot) metal parts. Within 20 years, Devol’s Unimation was the biggest robotic-arm company in the world. Lee Davenport Anti-Aircraft Innovator December 1915 - September 2011 Lee Davenport didn’t invent battlefield radar. He developed an anti-aircraft gun that combined radar with a computer to control anti-aircraft guns. At the Battle of the Bulge, the radar system was also used to spot German ground vehicles in the snowy terrain. In addition, the SCR-584 was used in 1944 to defend London against German buzz bombs. The SCR-584 crews were very effective in shooting down the buzz bombs. Wilson Greatbatch Heartbeat of the Century September 1919 - September 2011 In 1956 Wilson Greatbatch, an electrical-engineering professor at the University of Buffalo, made an electronic mistake that led to the invention of the pacemaker. He was building a heart rhythm monitor for the school’s Chronic Disease Research Institute when he attached a wrong-size resistor to a circuit, causing it to produce intermittent electrical pulses. Greatbatch realized that this might be used to regulate a damaged heart. Two years later, doctors at the Veterans Administration hospital in Buffalo demonstrated that a 2-cubic-in. implantable device built by Greatbatch could regulate a dog’s heart. In 1960 in Buffalo, 10 patients (including two children) received Greatbatch’s device, and its battery lasted two years or more. In 1972, Greatbatch was able to re-engineer the device with a new battery that worked for more than a decade. Dennis M. Ritchie An Originator of Unix, Inventor of C September 1941 - October 2011 Dennis Ritchie is one of the authors of the Unix operating system, and designed the C programming language. And he promoted both, starting in the 1970s. You may ask how influential all of that work was? Well just look at the number of closed source Unix clones we have today, not to mention their Open Source brethren the BSDs. Along with Linux a Unix work alike. Not to mention C, which eight of the top ten programming languages descend from. Raspberry Pi, a Tiny But Powerful $25 PC - The final Raspberry Pi will come in two flavors: A $25 version with 128MB of RAM and no network connection and a $35 one with Ethernet. Both versions will have USB and HDMI ports as well as analog video and audio outputs. It’s driven by a The 1080p video magic is driven by a 700MHz ARM processor, and the whole thing is powered by a 5-volt power supply. The Year in Review: Desktop Linux Developments in 2011 The "year in review" pieces that proliferate old and new media alike around this time of year get tedious pretty fast. But because I’ve yet to see a good compilation of the major developments — and there were plenty of them — that affected desktop Linux in 2011 Outtro Music: Time: 1hr 14:48 Jamendo.com Stopping the World by Of The I

What you are about to hear is the result of me starting a mixdown recording in Mumble when Pokey said he was about ready to stop recording and go to bed. While it's all pretty tame, it's not entirely safe for work. I started recording sometime after midnight Central Time and the original file shows we talked for another two hours and fifteen minutes (deleting the pauses brings it down to about an hour and a half). At the end it's just me and Cobra2, proving that as in real life, I never know when it's time to gracefully leave a party :) Among the other voices you will hear are Pokey, Delwin, JNeuster, Deltaray, DoorToDoorGeek, and I thought it was especially cool when the world wrapped around and Ken Fallon came back in after having gone to bed the night before. I didn't have the forethought to make note of all the handles active in the room, and the festivities of the evening did not enhance my recall, so I apologize to those I have overlooked. With the help of the community, I hope to get you proberly credited in the show notes, even if it is after the fact. I regret I wasn't able to participate or listen too in the entire thirteen hour scheduled recording, since I am speaking to the future I am sure I will be enjoying those missed hours even as you hear this. I want to add my voice in gratitude and congratulations to those who organized and participated in making this event a success. FiftyOneFifty

Many feel they pay what the can when they can. The discussion move on to how artists can make a living. Should we draw the line between digital replication and physical replication as copyright infringement, although illegal, is not stealing. Not every download is a lost sale and the argument was made that in some cases "piracy" promotes the use of the software. There was much talk of the continual increase of the copyright terms. Time was then devoted to how artists could be compensated for their art and several examples were brought up of alternative means of generating revenue by cutting out the record labels and other middle men. http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Main_Page http://www.joerogan.net/ http://blog.meetthegimp.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_C.K. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Pain http://venturebeat.com/2011/12/22/louis-cks-special-1-million/ http://www.examiner.com/comedy-in-boston/louis-ck-talks-new-sitcom-and-creative-freedom

We are looking for a way to convert the audio to text so that deaf/hard of hearing people can enjoy our content. That lead to a discussion on Text to speech and that if you are uncomfortable or unable to record a show for HPR, then there are loads of people who will narrate a scrip for you. The discussion turned to the question of how to pick topics for HPR and while the advice is to pick a topic that you're excited about you can always look at the Requested topics section of HPR at http://hackerpublicradio.org/contribute.php#requested_topics. If there is something that you would like to hear then mail the mailing list at hpr@hackerpublicradio.org (which you can join at http://hackerpublicradio.org/maillist ) or just email admin@hackerpublicradio.org and we'll add it to the Requested topic page. For the record when we say topic we are not talking about the topic choclate bar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_(chocolate_bar) After discovering that HPR has a explicit tag in iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#explicit) the conversation took a turn to how the topic of Adult content and that there are two sides to the story. http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=0069 There's Pr0n on them there internets! http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=0586 Miscellaneous Radio Theater 4096- The Internet is For Porn This lead to the question of whither government censorship will force developments in how the Internet is used. This brought up mesh networks (we had a discussion in http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=0069 with Juergen Schinker open wireless network) and how the Chaos Computer Club had a presentation on the Hackerspace Global Grid. From their FAQ "We want to build a distributed network of ground stations to receive satellite communications. The first step is establishing a means of accurate synchronization for the distributed network. Next up are building various receiver modules (ADS-B, amateur satellites, etc) and data processing of received signals. A communication/control channel (read: sending data) is a future possibility but there are no fixed plans on how this could be implemented yet." http://shackspace.de/wiki/doku.php?id=project:hgg Hackerspace Global Grid. Sounds a bit like an open version of the Iridium satellite constellation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellation Iridium satellite constellation After a discussion on Google+, the topic came on whither you needed to encode all 3 audio formats for HPR. The answer is no, not if you don't want to. If you do then you can download the script that Code Cruncher made from http://hackerpublicradio.org/incoming/processing/prep_audio.sh. That said it's enough to upload the show in almost any format and we'll convert it. To round off the segment was a discussion of the http://theflatearthsociety.org/ who argue that "The Flat Earth model is a belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk." (source wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Theory. .... Which inevitably lead to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down and of course that had to lead to http://www.terrypratchett.co.uk/ Terry Pratchett. At that point the Mumble server gave up and decided to go cry in a corner.

Ep0883: Dan Lynch interview

2011-12-20

Today we give you another of the interviews from OggCamp where we interview Dan Lynch. Here's his bio from his own site http://danlynch.org/ Dan Lynch Hello and welcome, I'm Dan. A writer, musician, developer, broadcaster and hopeless geek from Liverpool in the UK. This site is the hub of everything I do online, or at least it's supposed to be but it still needs work. I'm committed to Free & Open Source Software and Creative Commons, I write and broadcast about both, mainly through the Linux Outlaws and Rathole Radio podcasts. You may also know me as a host of FLOSS Weekly on the TWIT Network. Rathole Radio is my music show where I play a wide selection of the best music on the net. I interview artists, tell silly stories, have live votes and even play songs myself. The music is very eclectic because I believe that all styles have good and bad within them. I want people to open their minds and not pigeon-hole everything. I only play one "style" of music, stuff I like. Linux Outlaws is a weekly show where I discuss the latest happenings in the Open Source technology world and with my German co-host and friend Fab. It's grown beyond anything we could have imagined. We get tens of thousands of downloads per show, it's taken me to different parts of the world and allowed me to meet and share time with many of my technology heroes. I'm very lucky. Below you will see the latest content from my blog and both these podcasts. You can also use the links on the menu to find more specialised information about my music and other things. I sing and play guitar in a band called 20lb Sounds. We recently launched our website with free music downloads and we hope to build up a community there. I'm calling it the 20lb Army, so sign up and join the fun :) I organised a large Free Software and Free Culture event in Liverpool called OggCamp10. Strange name I know but the site explains all that. It took place on 1st and 2nd of May 2010, we were joined by many great FOSS fans and developers from around the world. Not only that but on Friday April 30th 2010 I also ran a successful Rathole Radio gig with David Rovics and Attila The Stockbroker to kick the weekend off. I support the Open Rights Group and I'm very concerned about digital rights and political matters in the UK. I'm a proud member of both Liverpool LUG and Chester LUG and regularly attend meetings at both. Is this two timing or just a real commitment to FOSS? I'll let you decide ;) Thanks for visiting. Feel free to hang around a while and put your feet up.

On December 21, 2009, Intel announced the next generation of Atom processors, including the N450, with total kit power consumption down 20%. Intel Atom processors are based on the Bonnell microarchitecture.

Ep0880: Handbook for the Criminally Insane

2011-12-15

In this episode of the HPR audio book club Broam, resno, Dann Washko, Integgroll, and pokey discuss the podiobooks.com presentation of Handbook for the Criminally Insane written and read by Brian Holtz. This episode contains spoilers, in the second half, so please listen to the audiobook for yourself before listening to the podcast all the way through. This book was met with polarizingly mixed reviews. Some thought it was a light hearted horror comedy in the spirit of Bruce Campbell while others thought it was something less entertaining. You can download this audiobook for free (or voluntary donation) from http://www.podiobooks.com/title/handbook-for-the-criminally-insane During this show the hosts also discuss alcohol beverages. Integgroll was drinking Jepsom's Malort, which he says pairs very nicely with "The Handbook" resno was drinking Dogfish Head Brewery's Pumpkin Ale http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/seasonal-brews/punkin-ale.htm Broam was drinking Romana Black Sambuca http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=romana%20sambuca pokey was drinking Long Trail Harvest Ale http://www.longtrail.com/ Dann missed the beverage review this time, but he would have been drinking a crap American rice beer anyway. http://www.anheuser-busch.com/s/ Our next audiobook will be Dead Hunt by Kenn Crawford.

Ep0879: SMLR 009

2011-12-14

Welcome to syndicated Thursday on Hacker Public Radio Each Thursday we play Syndicated creative commons content from around the web. If you know of some creative commons material that you would like to bring to the attention of the community then send an email to admin. Sunday Morning Linux Review http://smlr.us Intro: Mat Enders and Tony Bemus Intro Sound bite by Mike Tanner Kernel News: Mat Time: 1:56 Latest RC release is 3.2-rc5 released on Friday 12/9 at 6pm Eastern standard time. It has been slightly over a week since the last rc release. And rc5 is bigger in number of commits. Many of the commits are small, so it is possible that the *diff* will be smaller than both -rc2 and -rc4 were. A big part of this release is that Ingo is back, and had a backlog. That isn’t enough to explain it all. There were xfs and btrfs changes, along with network updates, and the usual 50% random driver updates. Greg KH announced the release of the 2.6.32.50, 3.0.13, and 3.1.5 stable kernels 12/9. The 2.6.32.50 kernel had 28 files changed, 164 insertions, and 54 deletions. The 3.0.13 kernel had 93 files changed, 659 insertions, and 201 deletions. The 3.1.5 kernel had 135 files changed, 1170 insertions, and 471 deletions. Kernel Quote of The Week: Hey Linus stop working on Subsurface, The Scuba Diving Log that doesn’t suck, during the week so you can get the latest RC out before 6pm eastern time so it is easier for me to do these updates. (insert appropriate smiley here) –Mat Enders Distro News: Tony Time: 4:53 Distrowatch.com 12-10 – Semplice Linux 2.0 RC1 – 12-10 – KahelOS 111111 – 12-10 – CentOS 6.1 – 12-06 – Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 – 12-06 – Ultimate Edition 3.0 – 11-06 – TurnKey Linux 11.3 – 11-06 – Ubuntu Privacy Remix 10.04r2 – Distro of the Week: Tony Debian – 1367 Fedora – 1427 Ultimate – 1742 Ubuntu – 1977 Mint – 4115 Tech News: Time: 15:45 jQuery Tells The Real Story About Plugin Site, or Why You Should Have a Backup More Recent Than a Year Old The jQuery plugins site devolopers have finaly told the real story, in a blog posting. The plugins site went down about a week ago with just this message: “The plugins site is currently unavailable. We’ve been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free expierence at the plugins site for some time and we have decided to temporarily shutter the existing site. We will be providing more details on the new plugins site soon, so that plugin authors can hit the ground running with our new submission process.” What really happened was, in an attempt to clean up the spam using Drupal Views Bulk Operations, all of the plugins were deleted. And the only backup was a year old. The developers asked for forgiveness and some help in developing a completely new plugins site. The plugins site needed renovations for quite some time. Due to the spam issue and because of how plugins were manged through the CMS that was cluttered and awkward. They were planning on replacing the site when events caused an imdeiate need. When I say events I mean the accidental deletion and lack of backup was the impetus to move those plans into action. jQuery plugin developers should create a GitHub presence, even if they just mirror their existing source code management. The new site still being developed on github.com/jquery/plugins.jquery.com/ and there is currently no date for its launch. Download.com accused of wrapping nmap in a “trojan installer” Nmaps author says CBS Interactive and CNET’s Download.com are wrapping the open source application in a proprietary installer. In the past, they have never altered the application downloads they serve up, they have been changing that over the last six months. Gordon “Fyodor” Lyon, lays out his issues in a posting to the Nmap Hackers mailing list. He claims the installer does thing like install the ‘StartNow’ toolbar”, makes Bing the default search engine, and then sets the users home page to MSN. This is how a “trojan installer” functions. If the installer is seperated from the download and sent to VirusTotal it shows that ten of the 42 scanners, they run it against, identify it as a trojan or adware installer. Also the Nmap trademark is displayed next to offers to install software, as if the Nmap organization supports these products. As Nmap is not under the plain GPL but under an enhanced version that specifically prohibits aggregation into a proprietary executable installer. Download.com initially claimed its scheme is simple for developers to opt-out of. The opt out is not automatic though. Download.com says “all opt-out requests are carefully reviewed on a case by case basis.” Lyon is looking for a US copyright attorney and wants to get the word to the hundreds of users who use Download.com every week to download Nmap. CBS’s Download.com site has been called out for this type of behaviour before. In August, ExtremeTech claimed similar behaviour with the media player VLC. According to an FAQ from CBS this installer software was rolled out in July. After the fecal matter hit the fan on this Download.COM back pedaled in a big way. In a statement, Sean Murphy, the Vice President and General Manager of Download.com said, “The bundling of this software was a mistake on our part and we apologize to the user and developer communities for the unrest it caused.” Then adding that they had “reviewed all open source files in our catalog to ensure none are being bundled”. Lyon posted an update, stating that Microsoft had been in contact with him and claimed they “didn’t know they were sponsoring CNET to trojan open source software”. Microsoft also stated that they had stopped the practice, which seems odd since they said that they were unaware that it was happening. So now the Download.com installer changed to install the “Babylon toolbar” which did different search engine redirection. CNET then later removed that and is now installing its own “techtracker” tool for updating downloaded software. However they are also restoring the “Direct download link” which allows users to download files without having to download the “download manager”. Who knows if these changes will quell the controversey. The changes only affect open source software and the proprietary freeware and trial software on Download.com will still have the Download.com Installer packaging. A number of open source programs at Download.COM still had an installer wrapping them. There has been no general apology for bundling GPL software with closed source installers. Researchers at Google Have Proposed s Fix to The SSL Dilemma Google researchers Adam Langley and Ben Laurie have proposed a new method for ensuring the trustworthiness of the public key infrastructure (PKI) underpinning HTTPS. Thier idea is based on a public list of all certificates ever issued by certificate authorities. The two problems with how the current system works are. First, if an attacker can comprimise any of the more than 100 certificate authorities and aquire a certificate for a server such as amazon.com, end users would not be able to tell the fraudulant site from the real one. Second, the way the system currently works Amazon would not be able to detect the fraud either. Langley and Laurie believe that a public list would mitigate both problems. Whenever a website offered up a certificate, the browser would check the supplied certificate against one of these public lists. If the browser did not find the certificate on any of the lists, the site would be treated as untrusted. Companies would then be able to check these lists regularly, to locate any fraudulent certificates. Which means that even if a criminal was able to obtain a fake certificate, they could not use it efectively. Merkle signature trees would be used to maintain the integrity of the lists. The proposals might not be implemented and, if it is, noone knows over what sort of timescale. There are also other alternatives being proposed like Firefoxs’ extension Convergence being pursued by security expert Moxie Marlinspike. Android’s Revenge on Apple’s iPhone & iPad Could Apple be regretting its world-wide war on Android? A German court issued a preliminary injunction on Motorola’s behalf that prevents European sales of all Apple’s 3G-enabled devices. Android-power Motorola Mobility, soon to be a part of Google, used a patent to thwart the competition. Apple has been using design and software patents in order to attack Android world wide. So I don’t think this could have happened to a nicer company. Regretably the patent being used, Method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system, is an excellent example of brain dead software patents. Almost as bad as Apple trying to block anybody from creating a rectangular phone or tablet as it would infringe on thier “unique” design. Thing like this sadly are not unusual but equate to little more than Intelectual Property (IP) blackmail. Just check out U.S. Patent No. 6,359,898 and its European Union equivalent, EP1010336 (B1) ? 2003-03-19. They basicly describe performing a countdown over a 3G connection. You know lik, “Ten seconds to complete your download, three, two, one, download complete.” Oh, obviously an original idea indeed. So you say why is a countdown mechanism so essential that a court would rule that Apple would be in violation and unable to sell thier products in Europe. Well so does Apple which is why they have appealled using a Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory (FRAND) defense. [Tony this is a link to a PDF that explains a frand defense please embed it http://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/jevons/papers/colloquium_2007/jevons07_glader.pdf] This defenses core argument is that this feature is not an essential component to 3G mobile telephony. I and I also assume you all understand that, but the German court wasn’t going for it. So this will go on for a while in the court system with suit and counter suit. And in the end it will only delay the sale of Apple products in the EU. But another side effect is that no matter where you buy your smartphone it will cost you more because thes kinds of court battles do not come cheap. I have a suggestion to all of these patent mongers and trolls, knock it off and just compete in the market place instead of the court room. Get top-quality open source security tools in one distro If you could have just one toolkit for network security, which one would you choose? I mean the one toolkit that had all of the functionality you needed for securing, analyzing, monitoring, and validating your network. Would it be BackTrack, Deft, or Helix? Well I have used two of those and I have found a distro that I think kicks thier ass. After you have checked out Network Security Toolkit (NST), I believe that you will choose it also. This live DVD is based on Fedora. NST was designed to bring you easy access to the best Open Source Network Security Applications. It should run on most x86/x86_64 platforms. The intent of this distrobution is to provide network security administrators with a complete set of tools. Most of the tools in INSECURE.ORGs Top 100 Security Tools are in this kit. An advanced Web User Interface (WUI) is provided for system administration, navigation, automation, geolocation and configuration for many of the network and security applications in distribution. Here are some of the tools that come with NST: Aircrack NG: A wireless sniffer and WEP/WPA-PSK key cracker Airsnort: A wireless LAN (WLAN) tool that recovers encryption keys. Amap: A next-generation scanning tool that identifies applications and services even if they are not listening on the default port by creating a bogus communication and analyzing the responses. Argus/Argus-Clients/Argus-Monitor: An audit record generation and utilization system Arp-Scan: A scanning and fingerprinting tool Arpwatch: Network monitoring tools for tracking IP addresses on a network. Awstats: Advanced Web statistics Bandwidthd: Tracks network usage and builds HTML and graphs Beecrypt: An open source cryptography library Bit-twist: A simple yet powerful libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator BlackOwlMIBBrowser: A Visual SNMP MIB browser with MIB variable graphing. Cadaver: A command-line WebDAV client CheckDNS: A Domain Name Server analysis and reporting tool Chkrootkit: A tool to locally check for signs of a rootkit ClamAV: Antivirus Conntrack-tools: Tools to manipulate netfilter connection tracking table DNScap: A DNS traffic capture utility DNSenum: The tool gathers as much information as possible about a domain. DNSmap: A network tool that performs brute force search/query of domains. DNSwalk: A DNS debugger Dsniff: Tools for network auditing and penetration testing. Etherape: A graphical network viewer modeled after etherman. Firewalk: Active reconnaissance network security tool. Foremost: Recover files by carving them from a raw disk. Freeradius: A high-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server Fwbuilder: A firewall builder Geoclue: A modular geoinformation service GPGme: GnuPG Made Easy — a high level crypto API Greenbone-Security-Assistant: A Web-based interface to the Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner GSD: A desktop (GUI) interface to the Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner Honeyd: A honeypot daemon Hunt: A tool for demonstrating well-known weaknesses in the TCP/IP protocol suite. Kismet: Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and IDS. Mbrowse: A GUI SNMP MIB browser Nagios: Nagios monitors hosts and services and yells if something breaks. NBTScan: A tool to gather NetBIOS info from Windows networks. Netmask: A utility for determining network masks. Netwag: The GUI for the network toolbox Netwox Nload: Monitor network traffic and bandwidth usage in real-time. Wireshark: A network protocol analyzer Installing NST is as simple and easy as any other major Linux distribution out there today. After downloading the DVD image burn it out to disk, then pop it in and and boot up. You can choose to either boot into console or graphical mode, recommend the graphical mode even though it is GNOME 3. If your hardware will not support GNOME 3 you can opt to fall back on Classic GNOME. After bootup you will see the default live user enter the password nst2003 and let the desktop load. Once the desktop has fully loaded you can either take it for a test drive or jump right into the install. In order to install it you have to go to Applications > System Tools > Install NST To Hard Drive. If you have installed any Linux distribution before you will find no surprises here. When the installation is complete, or the live version is up and running, you can start experimenting with the tools. There are hundreds of available tools here to help you monitor, secure, analyze, and do practicly anything else on your network. Carrier IQ hit with privacy lawsuits as more security researchers weigh in Carrier IQ [...] has been hit with two class-action lawsuits from users worried about how the company’s software tracks their smartphone activity. Carrier IQ, of course, professes its innocence. But the company has also received some public support from security researchers who say Carrier IQ’s software is only tracking diagnostic information and likely is not violating user privacy. SFLC Asks the US Congress for a DMCA Exception The Software Freedom Law Center has filed a request with the US Librarian of Congress for a DMCA exception that would allow users to freely decide what software they can install and uninstall on devices they own. Arduino 1.0 Released A long time coming, this release brings small but important changes to clean up the Arduino environment and language – as well as adding lots of additional features. Updates to the environment include a new file extension, toolbar icons, and color scheme as well as a progress bar on compilation and upload. The language changes include modifications to the Serial class, addition of DHCP and DNS support to the Ethernet library, a new SoftwareSerial library, multi-file support in the SD library, modifications to the Wire library and UDP class, etc. Gnome Shell Extensions Website Launched The site, which is primarily provided for GNOME 3.2 users, only works in Firefox presently. Support for additional browsers is planned. Amongst the extensions already on offer are an old school ‘GNOME Applications Menu’, ‘Frippery Bottom Panel’ (which adds a window switcher panel to the bottom of the screen), and a ‘Places Status Indicator‘.

Ep0870: Computer Memories

2011-12-02

In his second HPR episode, Deltaray looks back at his early computer experiences, from the Commodore to the Amiga, early computer stores, a BBS, and...The Strip. Sound effects by jppi-stu (117647) and timbre (84427) of freesound.org Apple Lisa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lisa The Apple Lisa - also known as the Lisa - is a personal computer designed by Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple, Inc.) during the early 1980s. Development of the Lisa began in 1978 as a powerful personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) targeted toward business customers. In 1982, Steve Jobs was forced out of the Lisa project, so he joined the Macintosh project instead. The Macintosh is not a direct descendant of Lisa, although there are obvious similarities between the systems and the final revision, the Lisa 2/10, was modified and sold as the Macintosh XL. The Lisa was a more advanced system than the Macintosh of that time in many respects, such as its inclusion of protected memory, cooperative multitasking, a generally more sophisticated hard disk based operating system, a built-in screensaver, an advanced calculator with a paper tape and RPN, support for up to two megabytes (MB) of RAM, expansion slots, a numeric keypad, data corruption protection schemes such as block sparing, non-physical file names (with the ability to have multiple documents with the same name), and a larger higher-resolution display. It would be many years before many of those features were implemented on the Macintosh platform. Protected memory, for instance, did not arrive until the Mac OS X operating system was released in 2001. The Macintosh featured a faster 68000 processor (7.89 MHz) and sound. The complexity of the Lisa operating system and its programs taxed the 5 MHz Motorola 68000 microprocessor so that consumers said it felt sluggish, particularly when scrolling in documents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_lisa TRS-80 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_80 TRS-80 was Tandy Corporation's desktop microcomputer model line, sold through Tandy's Radio Shack stores in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The first units, ordered unseen, were delivered in November 1977, and rolled out to the stores the third week of December. The line won popularity with hobbyists, home users, and small-businesses. Tandy Corporation's leading position in what Byte Magazine called the "1977 Trinity" (Apple, Commodore and Tandy) had much to do with Tandy's retailing the computer through more than 3000 of its Radio Shack (Tandy in Europe) storefronts. Notable features of the original TRS-80 included its full-stroke QWERTY keyboard, small size, its Floating Point BASIC programming language, an included monitor, and a starting price of $600. The pre-release price was $500 and a $50 deposit was required, with a money back guarantee at time of delivery. One major drawback of the original system was the massive RF interference it caused in surrounding electronics. This became a problem when it was determined to violate FCC regulations, leading to the Model I's phase out in favor of the new Model III. By 1979, the TRS-80 had the largest available selection of software in the microcomputer market. .... In July 1980 Tandy released the Model III. The improvements of the Model III over the Model I included built-in lower case, a better keyboard, 1500-baud cassette interface, and a faster (2.03 MHz) Z-80 processor. With the introduction of the Model III, Model I production was discontinued as it did not comply with new FCC regulations as of 1 January 1981 regarding electromagnetic interference. The Model I radiated so much interference that while playing games an AM radio placed next to the computer could be used to provide sounds. The Model III could run about 80% of Model I software, but used an incompatible disk format. Customers and developers complained of bugs in its BASIC and the TRSDOS operating system. The computer also came with the option of integrated disk drives. Since they took power from the same supply as the motherboard and screen, which was not upgraded for the disk drive models, it was common to see the screen image shrink noticeably during drive access. http://web.archive.org/web/20060425163924/http://www.kjsl.com/trs80/model3info.html Commadore 128 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_128 The Commodore 128 (C128, CBM 128, C=128) home/personal computer was the last 8-bit machine commercially released by Commodore Business Machines (CBM). Introduced in January 1985 at the CES in Las Vegas, it appeared three years after its predecessor, the bestselling Commodore 64. The C128 was a significantly expanded successor to the C64 and unlike the earlier Commodore Plus/4, nearly full compatibility with the C64 was retained, in both hardware and software. The new machine featured 128 KB of RAM, in two 64 KB banks and an 80-column RGBI video output (driven by the 8563 VDC chip with 16 KB dedicated video RAM), as well as a substantially redesigned case and keyboard. Also included was a Zilog Z80 CPU which allowed the C128 to run CP/M, as an alternate to the usual Commodore BASIC environment. The primary hardware designer of the C128 was Bil Herd, who had worked on the Plus/4. Other hardware engineers were Dave Haynie and Frank Palaia, while the IC design work was done by Dave DiOrio. The main Commodore system software was developed by Fred Bowen and Terry Ryan, while the CP/M subsystem was developed by Von Ertwine Amiga 2000 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Amiga 2000, or A2000, is a personal computer released by Commodore in 1986. It is the successor to the Amiga 1000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_2000

Compared to FTP, TFTP is extremely limited, providing no authentication, and is rarely used interactively by a user. Due to its simple design, TFTP could be implemented using a very small amount of memory. It is therefore useful for booting computers such as routers which may not have any data storage devices. It is an element of the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) network boot protocol, where it is implemented in the firmware BIOS of the host's network card. It is also used to transfer small amounts of data between hosts on a network, such as IP phone firmware or operating system images when a remote X Window System terminal or any other thin client boots from a network host or server. The initial stages of some network based installation systems (such as Solaris Jumpstart, Red Hat Kickstart, Symantec Ghost and Windows NT's Remote Installation Services) use TFTP to load a basic kernel that performs the actual installation. TFTP was first defined in 1980 by IEN 133.[1] It is currently defined by RFC 1350. There have been some extensions to the TFTP protocol documented in later RFC's (see the section on Extensions, below). TFTP is based in part on the earlier protocol EFTP, which was part of the PUP protocol suite. TFTP support appeared first as part of 4.3 BSD. Due to the lack of security, it is dangerous to use it over the Internet. Thus, TFTP is generally only used on private, local networks.

2011-11-18

Interviews and a look at FSCONS 2011 Today you will hear two interviews from FSCONS 2010. The audio is of "conference quality", that is, there are a lot of noice in the background. Not much to do about that, I am sorry. But it is two really great interviews, so well worth it! But as a start I have a look at what will take place during the coming FSCONS 2011, that will start 2011-11-11 and continue through the whole weekend. I read from the schedule, and mention some of the topics and presenters who will be there. FSCONS 2011 FSCONS 2011 Schedule Salve J. Nilsen - Kaizendo: Customizable schoolboks Imagine a schoolbook where the pupil and her teacher can choose the topic depth, clarity of text and homework difficulty as needed and necessary. Add alternatives for teachers (supporting different instructional methods, teaching styles), schools (variations in chapter content based on time constraints or policy) and parents (having a topic summary to read before helping with homework.) This is what we mean with customizable textbooks. http://kaizendo.org/ http://vimeo.com/20875583 Ole Tange - GNU Parallel GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. http://www.gnu.org/s/parallel/ http://vimeo.com/20838834 Shameless plugs You should follow me on Identi.ca and Twitter: @alltinomit or subscribe to All In IT Radio at http://aiit.se/radio/ By the way, we now also have a Google+ Page, find it at http://aiit.se/radio/+

Many of the experiments contained in the book are now considered "dangerous for unsupervised children"[citation needed], and would not appear in a modern children's chemistry book[citation needed]. OCLC lists only 126 copies of this book in libraries worldwide. The book was a source of inspiration to David Hahn, nicknamed "the Radioactive Boy Scout" by the media, who tried to collect a sample of every chemical element and also built a model nuclear reactor, which led to the involvement of the authorities.

Ep0853: Pat Volkerding of Slackware Linux chats with Klaatu

2011-11-08

Pat Volkerding of Slackware Linux chats with Klaatu and whomever happens to wander by (Maco, Vincent Batts, Chad Wallenberg, and others) at the SELF afterparty. Slackware From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Slackware is a free and open source Linux-based operating system. It was one of the earliest operating systems to be built on top of the Linux kernel and is the oldest currently being maintained. Slackware was created by Patrick Volkerding of Slackware Linux, Inc. in 1993. The current stable version is 13.37, released on April 27, 2011. Slackware aims for design stability and simplicity, and to be the most "Unix-like" Linux distribution, making as few modifications as possible to software packages from upstream and using plain text files and a small set of shell scripts for configuration and administration. Warning: this is not a proper interview, just 40 minutes of aimless and fairly noisy chit chat at a party. So it's probably not for everyone, although if you're a Slackware fan then it might be of some interest. http://www.slackware.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Volkerding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware

Ep0850: Another Tech Giant Passes - Household Tech in the Pre-Micro Era

2011-11-03

In today's show Mr Gadgets pauses to remember the passing of some pioneering greats in the tech field. He focuses on personal heroes who have had a profound impact on the direction of his life. Edgar Villchur From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Villchur) Edgar Marion Villchur (28 May 1917 - 17 October 2011) was an American inventor, educator, and writer widely known for his 1954 invention of the acoustic suspension loudspeaker which revolutionized the field of high-fidelity equipment. A speaker Villchur developed, the AR-3, is exhibited at the The Smithsonian Institutions Information Age Exhibit in Washington, DC. Villchur's speaker systems provided improved bass response while reducing the speaker's cabinet size. Acoustic Research, Inc. (AR), of which he was president from 1954 to 1967, manufactured high-fidelity loudspeakers, turntables, and other stereo components of his design, and demonstrated their quality through live vs. recorded concerts. The companys market share grew to 32 percent by 1966. After leaving AR, Villchur researched hearing aid technology, developing the multichannel compression hearing aid, which became the industry standard for hearing aids. Henry Kloss From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kloss) Henry Kloss (1929, Altoona, PA - January 31, 2002, Cambridge, MA) was a prominent American audio engineer and businessman who helped advance high fidelity loudspeaker and radio receiver technology beginning in the 1950s. Kloss (pronounced with a long o, like "close") was an undergraduate student in physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (class of 1953), but never received a degree. He was responsible for a number of innovations, including the acoustic suspension loudspeaker and the high fidelity cassette deck. In 2000, Kloss was one of the first inductees into the Consumer Electronics Association's Hall of Fame. He earned an Emmy Award for his development of a projection television system, the Advent Video Beam 1000. Acoustic Research From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Research) Acoustic Research was a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company that manufactured high-end audio equipment. The brand is now owned by Audiovox. Acoustic Research was well known for the AR-3 series of speaker systems, which used the 12-inch (305 mm) acoustic suspension woofer of the AR-1 with newly designed dome mid-range and high-frequency drivers, which were the first of their kind. AR's line of acoustic suspension speakers were extraordinary for their time, as they were the first loudspeakers with flat response, extended bass, wide dispersion, small size, and reasonable cost. http://homepage.mac.com/oldtownman/recording/villchur.html

Ep0845: Open Source Radio Software

2011-10-27

In todays show AukonDK leads us on a tour of Open Source Radio Software Icecast http://www.icecast.org/ Icecast, the project, is a collection of programs and libraries for streaming audio over the Internet. This includes: icecast, a program that streams audio data to listeners libshout, a library for communicating with Icecast servers IceS, a program that sends audio data to Icecast servers BUTT http://butt.sourceforge.net/ butt (broadcast using this tool) is an easy to use, multi OS streaming tool. It supports ShoutCast and IceCast. butt runs on Linux, MacOS and Windows. IDJC http://idjc.sourceforge.net/ Internet DJ Console is a project started in March 2005 to provide a powerful yet easy to use source-client for individuals interested in streaming live radio shows over the Internet using Shoutcast or Icecast servers. Because of the large number of streaming applications that already existed but did little more than stream a pair of audio channels or a fixed playlist, it was decided that IDJC would be the opposite and simulate audio hardware to cut down the expense of creating a home studio. In addition to providing a large number of show production features, this software has been written with the aim of producing the best possible experience for the listeners and DJ alike. To that end features like VoIP integration were conceived of from the very start resulting in the choice of Jack Audio Connection Kit to base the audio. This has afforded IDJC audio processing capabilities that were they built in would be considered excessive. Enjoy integration with powerful programs such as the well known Skype, Jack Rack (offering audio sound effects plugins), Jamin (the powerful audio compressor/equalizer), and many more. Fortunately IDJCs power does not come at the expense of a well organized user interface, nor have requests for features been permitted to diminish the application's intuitive feel yet throughout development the main goals have always been that of stability and audio quality. Liquidsoap http://savonet.sourceforge.net/index.html Liquidsoap is a powerful and flexible language for describing your streams. It offers a rich collection of operators that you can combine at will, giving you more power than you need for creating or transforming streams. But liquidsoap is still very light and easy to use, in the Unix tradition of simple strong components working together. Airtime http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/ Airtime is the open radio software for scheduling and remote station management. Remote access to the station’s media management, multi-file upload and automatic metadata verification is coupled with a collaborative online scheduling calendar and playlist management. The scheduling calendar is managed through an easy-to-use web-interface and triggers audio playout with sub-second precision for fading. Rivendell http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ Rivendell is a complete radio broadcast automation solution, with facilities for the acquisition, management, scheduling and playout of audio content. It has all of the features one would expect in a modern, fully-fledged radio automation system, including support for both PCM and MPEG audio encoding, full voicetracking and log customization as well as support for a wide variety of third party software and hardware. As a robust, functionally complete digital audio system for broadcast radio applications, Rivendell uses industry standard components like the GNU/Linux Operating System, the AudioScience HPI Driver Architecture and the MySQL Database Engine. Rivendell is available under the GNU Public License. RAAbuntu http://rrabuntu.sourceforge.net/ Rivendell Radio Automation Live CD installer for Ubuntu. This is a modified version of Ubuntu 10.04.

Ep0844: The Flying Handbag

2011-10-26

Each Thursday we play Syndicated creative commons content. In todays show we hear the behind the scenes banter at Barcamp Blackpool 2011. You might remember that we interviewed Gemma Cameron aka @ruby_gem back in episode 813 This episode was originally posted on October 15th 2011 by Dan Lynch of Rathole Radio and linuxoutlaws fame. The following are the shownotes posted with the show. The Flying Handbag Hello all, apologies for the lack of Weekly Rewind updates lately. Things have been crazy. I do have a rather special treat for you today instead. A podcast recorded at Barcamp Blackpool on October 15th 2011. Let me fill in a little background detail to this. I was in Blackpool catching up with my fellow podcaster Pete Cannon of Dick Turpin Roadshow fame. Our good friend Les Pounder of Blackpool LUG came over and asked "are you two up for doing a podcast?". Of course we were but had no idea what about or what the structure would be. We also didn't book a space on the barcamp schedule board. This was all very last minute. One of the talk areas at the barcamp was named The Flying Handbag after a well known Blackpool gay bar apparently. This caused much hilarity. We saw it was free and planned to record our discussion there. Upon our arrival another bloke was already there waiting to start his talk and he didn't look too impressed by our rag tag bunch. So off we wandered in search of another recording location and ended up sat on the stairs by the gents toilets in Blackpool Pleasure Beach Casino. You can hear what followed next. A rambling and fun conversation between 6 opinionated blokes, with some additional comedy value added by the really loud hand dryer noise coming from the toilets. Ladies and gentlemen we present. The Flying Handbag Cast!!! Running time: 50mins (ish) The culprits are: Les Pounder Peter Cannon Dan Westley (Our Microsoft spy) Tony Hughes Heeed (Michael) Dan Lynch Contains swearing and adult humour from the start. You've been warned. This was a one-off thing really and I don't know if there'll ever be more. We all live in different parts of the UK so it might be tricky. Hopefully we'll get together at another event in future and chat some more. http://ratholeradio.org/ http://sixgun.org/linuxoutlaws http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=0813 http://danlynch.org/blog/2011/10/handbag/ http://barcampblackpool.com/ http://tdtrs.tumblr.com/ http://blackpoollug.blogspot.com/ http://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/ http://about.me/lespounder http://www.cannon-linux.co.uk/ http://heeed.net/ http://danlynch.org

The idea was to allow for someone uploading an entire series in one go and us having to schedule it. That has worked well so that the queue is full and that host still gets their series played fairly often, but ... After an event like OggCamp/ILF/OLF/SELF etc we tend to get a load of shows at once that are outside the traditional series concept. Some of these have the "feel of the fest" and may go stale after a time. Should we schedule those according to the same rules meaning there would be no more than one a week, or should we open the floodgates and have a few weeks dedicated to post festival interviews ?

Ep0825: Jamey Sharp Interview at X.Org Developer Conference (XDC) 2011

2011-09-29

Jamey Sharp was placed on Ritalin, briefly, in fifth grade. His interests and activities have been varied ever since. Today his day job involves a computer test for attention deficit disorder, but his biggest projects have been the Portland State Aerospace Society, a student rocketry club at Portland State University; XCB, a new low-level binding to the X protocol, in the process of replacing Xlib; and Serialist, because his other projects didn’t leave him enough time to read his favorite webcomics without tool support. Jamey’s interests span computer science fields including cryptography, combinatorial search, compilers, and computational complexity; systems-level programming, such as file format and network protocol implementations, Linux kernel development, and boot-loader hacking; computer architecture and its impact on software design; and functional programming, preferably in Haskell. This interview focuses on Jamey's work on X.org, specifically the XCB project. The X protocol C-language Binding (XCB) is a replacement for Xlib featuring a small footprint, latency hiding, direct access to the protocol, improved threading support, and extensibility.

Long story short is that the Clip+ is pretty great as a cheap all-in-one recording device. I go into a little more detail here, and I have an idea that may make it even better. Since recording this, I have discovered how to change the recording directory. Press the Home button to get to the main menu. Go to the "Files" option in the main menu, and navigate to the directory (even if it's on the SD card) that you want to use for recording. Highlight it, but don't open it. Hold down the center button to open a context menu. Scroll down and select "Set As Recording Directory".

2011-09-07

In todays syndicated Thursday DeepGeek allows us to play TGTM #28 - Segmented Downloading aired on 2011-09-05 “Segmented downloading” is a way of getting your file by getting pieces of your file from different webservers, which mirror each other with identical content. If “bittorrent” comes to mind, then you’re following me. It is essentially using full-fledged webservers as if they were bittorrent seeds. But in order to understand why you would want to do this, you need to understand some things about old-school downloads and some things about bittorrent, before you can understand the “why,” then the “how,” of segmented downloading For Complete shownotes see http://www.talkgeektome.us/tgtm-28-segmented-downloading.html

I made sure to get most of the important parts, even slowing down the recording - but some stuff just did not come out clearly. We were in a very quiet room, but the Fuze's mic is not professional quality. Transcriptions marked with an asterisk * are my best guess / paraphrase. There aren't many. The Carolina Free PC organization that Yancy mentions can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/carolinafreepc/ Audio notes: Volume normalization & removal of bias, and the noise of me pressing buttons on the Fuze was removed. There is no editing for content. Broam: So hi, I'm here with Yancy Smith, he was doing a...like a donation project he called the "Scrapper Project" here at SELF, I just wanted to ask him a couple questions about it. Broam: Hi Yancy. Yancy: Hi. Um. Broam: So tell me about it. Yancy: Well basically we take the time*, we take old computers from labs and computer stores, they give them to me; I recycle them to someone else. And a couple weeks ago I got clearance in talking Dave Yates, our president, said, "can we do this here at our function" here at SELF. and I sent out to all our club members and to most of my facebook friends, we didn't put on the general list, we just tryin' this out. We didn't have no donations this time, but some of us bought some stuff in, mainly me, brought some old stuff in, to get rid of because I don't have the room...and... it didn't turn out so well, but had a couple of bags to send with the Athens [?] team home, so they enjoyed that. Broam: That's cool. I have some other questions here... let's see here... um. so professional. So is this mostly you organizing this on your own, or? Yancy: Yeah. But I'm working with the Carolina Free PC Foundation. I emailed them, they said they would be glad to take, and they emailed me back. Emailed Athens a week ago, but they didn't get my email in time, but they said next year, talk to such & such and they would know who to talk to. I'd be willing to open it to anyone. Broam: Okay. Is this the first year you've done this, or? Yancy: Yeah, it's first time. It's an ad-hoc thing, our group - the club, Upstate Carolina Linux user group. ( www.uclug.org ), is a meritocracy, but I still asked for permission. Broam: Cool obviously crossing off a ton of questions here and who are you going to give the donated computers to? Other foundations, or? Yancy: Mainly, um, if there had been some this year, there would have been a three-way split - who needs what parts. I found out that the Carolina [group] wanted the hard drives and certain memory sets and things, they would have gotten that. Free PCs they had certain amounts that wanted, and the rest I would have taken home or send on to someone else down the road. Broam: Ok. And uh, and did you look at any other projects - I know you contacted some people, but did you look at other, like, similar things that people have done on line, like, say Freegeek or Helios Initiative for anything like that, for ideas? Yancy: Mainly it's between, um, I haven't heard of them too much; but like what I said I'm following the guidelines of the Carolina PC and some of the Athens stuff. I happen to know um, what we - I had contact with them last year and so if there's something they can use... Broam: Ok. You said something in the Facebook post you sent me about Linux being required by South Carolina state law. Could you explain that a little more? Yancy: Well it's... that was a misstatement. What I was saying was that by State law requires you to send off the parts and metals stuff, not in the trash they send it off to a scrapyard - Broam: Oh, ok... yeah I... Yancy: but the part about the Linux is I put Linux on there because it wipes the drive down completely and clearly because of the data retention laws, that's why Broam: aaaah, ok. Yancy: see a lot of the stores, I go into a thift store, like a Goodwill or a church store, they don't really wipe down the systems they build. They don't have the [expertise]. They just wipe* a couple directories and think it's sanitized. That is a dangeorus thing to do. Broam: Yes, I know... (In retrospect, sounds kinda flippant, sorry. I meant to agree with him here. ed.) Yancy: That and the license - any issues of rebuilding windows, I do that only when I have a holographic key. So it's just like even if I have a key I still put Linux on top of it, so if there's an issue with Windows, I can recover but also I still can introduce them to Linux, because games, software, photos... Broam: Everything is free, everything is legally transferrable. Yancy: Yeah. Especially there's an application called Photo...photo wall or photoroom, it's sorta like Apple's album* for all your photos. It's the coolest thing. Broam: Cool! And I have one last question ...got any stuff for me? Yancy: Um... Broam: *laughter* Yancy: Not much left. Athens took off with all of my stuff. Broam: All right. Thanks a lot, Yancy. I appreciate your time.

I have edited all the episodes that are currently in the queue to have the new outro but going forward I would appreciate it if you could switch to the new outro which can be found here http://hackerpublicradio.org/media/theme-music/outro-mono.mp3. All the versions including the original slick0 master flac, can be found at http://hackerpublicradio.org/media/theme-music/ The text for the outro is in the file hpr-outro-text.txt and I'd like to get a versions from every host and listener, with the idea of editing them together to have multiple versions with each line read by different people. Please submit those in high quality WAV or FLAC with spaces between each line to allow for easy editing. After recording a HPR news segment at my brother-in-law's studio he was inspired to record a intro and outro for HPR and he'd appreciate your feedback. Give the files starting in http://hackerpublicradio.org/media/theme-music/ rollercostermusic.com* a listen. It would also help greatly if you could provide shownotes with your episode in html as otherwise I need to listen to your shows and make the shownotes for you which will result in a delay in your show getting posted. We are now also officially CC-BY-SA so if you are releasing your show in any other format you need to make note of that in your show and in the shownotes. Month in Review We have ogg and spx feed ! We changed the mp3 feed to make it RSS 2.0 compliant - finally ! Updated the Contribute page Are you going to Derby Con Augmented podcast on HPR Chack out the test site http://hobbypublicradio.org Casting Call A while back 5150 proposed that we produce an audiobook using only HPR contributors as actors. Several people Responded positively, and said they would like to participate. Well, we now have a script. It was originally written as a screenplay, so it needs a little work to make the visual bits work as audio only, but I don't think that will take too long. It's almost ready to go as is. 5150 and Integgroll have stepped up to help me make editorial and casting decisions and get other producer type stuff done. This is a casting call of sorts. We need some voice actors, but we'll also need some sound effects, and perhaps some music. I may ask people to create sound effects, and upload them to the freesound project, or just to find such sounds. I'm not sure what We'll need yet, but I'd like to know who's interested in helping out. I was considering asking the Open Source Musician's Podcast to consider doing a "tune storm" for some music, but I'd like to know if you guys think we should keep it all in house, or collaborate on that. The story is a SciFi/adventure that's also a lighthearted Free Software allegory, so it's a perfect fit for HPR. It will run between 50 and 80 minutes, I think, so it may be broken up into two or three episodes if it's too long for just one. I'm really not sure. The plan is to record with actors using mumble but also recording locally to get the best possible sound quality. I'll mix it all in audacity, unless someone else wants that job, or wants to do it with ardour or whatever. As is, There are 4 male roles, 3 female roles, and 6 androgynous roles. Most of the male and female roles could be swapped also to match our supply of actors. If we get more people than that, We'll add parts to make sure that everyone who's interested can participate. The protagonist and major roll is female. She will have a majority of the speaking parts, thus the biggest time commitment of all the actors. If you're interested, please send me a voice sample so I can sort out the cast, or let me know what you're willing to do so I have some idea about that too. Please use my personal email address for this so that we don't clutter up the regular mailing list. pdailey03@gmail.com Thank you for hearing me out on this. pokey The Linux News Podcast Hi fellow podcaster, I have just launched a new podcast. You know as well as I do it is hard to get the news out. I was wondering if you would please be so kind as to give it a listen. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Also if you ever need a guest on your show, please feel free to email me and let me know. If you want to know a little more about me please check out my website under About. You can also email me any questions you may have. So what is my new podcast? The Linux News Podcast. The Linux News Podcast was designed to fill a much needed gap in audio shows covering exclusively Linux, Android, and Open Source news. The podcast aims to be relevant, accurate, fair, clear, timely, interesting and concise. The podcast aims to be relevant by focusing on topic of interest to Linux users. I focus on such topics such as software freedom, Linux development, Open Source software, Android and mobile devises, security issues, and Linux distribution releases. Special attention is given to the top ten Linux distributions: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, Arch, PCLinuxOS, Puppy Linux, Sabayon, and CentOS. The podcast is less than 15 minutes long and is released every Tuesday and Friday evenings. Thank you so much for your help in spreading the news. Here is the Official Press Release: http://www.prlog.org/11624836-new-linux-news-podcast.html Sincerely, Jay Forrest,

Ep0771: Mischief Managed

2011-07-17

With Customs in various countries acting as Copyright Cops, using any excuse to rifle through your personal and private data not only for threats, but copyright infringement. Wouldn't it be great to have invisible ink? You can get your private data through Customs, under the scrutiny of the Copyright Cops while also being a fully cooperative model citizen. ThistleWeb discusses three ways to do this with the drawbacks of each. Using a Cloud service of some sort to store your data on as you travel, where you upload then download after going through Customs. Using a decoy user account on your regular installed distro Using a decoy distro as a dual boot Harry Potter got the Marauders Map in book three, which transforms to blank parchment with a tap of the wand the words "mischief managed" so nobody knows it's a dynamic map of Hogwarts and it's inhabitants. Now your laptop or netbook can have the same invisible ink qualities. So repeat after me "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!" Just like the GPL, use at your own risk.

Ep0768: Sort

2011-07-12

Examples on Wikipedia From http://www.unix.com/man-page/Linux/1/sort/ and on your computer man sort NAME sort - sort lines of text files SYNOPSIS sort [OPTION]... [FILE]... sort [OPTION]... --files0-from=F DESCRIPTION Write sorted concatenation of all FILE(s) to standard output. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. Ordering options: -b, --ignore-leading-blanks ignore leading blanks -d, --dictionary-order consider only blanks and alphanumeric characters -f, --ignore-case fold lower case to upper case characters -g, --general-numeric-sort compare according to general numerical value -i, --ignore-nonprinting consider only printable characters -M, --month-sort compare (unknown) < `JAN' < ... < `DEC' -n, --numeric-sort compare according to string numerical value -R, --random-sort sort by random hash of keys --random-source=FILE get random bytes from FILE -r, --reverse reverse the result of comparisons --sort=WORD sort according to WORD: general-numeric -g, month -M, numeric -n, random -R, version -V -V, --version-sort natural sort of (version) numbers within text Other options: --batch-size=NMERGE merge at most NMERGE inputs at once; for more use temp files -c, --check, --check=diagnose-first check for sorted input; do not sort -C, --check=quiet, --check=silent like -c, but do not report first bad line --compress-program=PROG compress temporaries with PROG; decompress them with PROG -d --files0-from=F read input from the files specified by NUL-terminated names in file F; If F is - then read names from standard input -k, --key=POS1[,POS2] start a key at POS1 (origin 1), end it at POS2 (default end of line) -m, --merge merge already sorted files; do not sort -o, --output=FILE write result to FILE instead of standard output -s, --stable stabilize sort by disabling last-resort comparison -S, --buffer-size=SIZE use SIZE for main memory buffer -t, --field-separator=SEP use SEP instead of non-blank to blank transition -T, --temporary-directory=DIR use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR or /tmp; multiple options specify multiple directories -u, --unique with -c, check for strict ordering; without -c, output only the first of an equal run -z, --zero-terminated end lines with 0 byte, not newline --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C the character position in the field; both are origin 1. If neither -t nor -b is in effect, characters in a field are counted from the beginning of the preceding whitespace. OPTS is one or more single-letter ordering options, which override global ordering options for that key. If no key is given, use the entire line as the key. SIZE may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes: % 1% of memory, b 1, K 1024 (default), and so on for M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. *** WARNING *** The locale specified by the environment affects sort order. Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses native byte values. AUTHOR Written by Mike Haertel and Paul Eggert.

The proposal is to change from: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ To http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ The RFC will be open for a month and the results will be announced here and on July's HPR Community News. If approved all shows after that time will be by default CC-BY-SA unless indicated in the show notes. Further, I would then contact everyone that has hosted so far asking if we can relisence their show(s) as CC-BY-SA.

Ep0758: Interview with Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs

2011-06-28

CCHits.net is a site promoting and featuring Creative Commons licensed music and the podcasts that play them. The site was designed with more than just this in mind. Here are some of the highlights Encourage and Discover Great Music There's a lot of great Creative Commons Licensed Music out there, and not enough people know just what you can get hold of! To help ease the burdon of this issue, there are three things that we do: By linking directly to artist's home sites rather than to our own holding pages for artists, we ensure that the artists get maximum exposure for their own material, without having to update our site when their own information changes! By linking to the source of the individual track, gives listeners a greater awareness of music sources, which hopefully should increase the exposure for sites who promote and list Creative Commons licensed music. By linking to podcasts which play Creative Commons licensed music, we give listeners the opportunity to find other shows that play the music they like - ultimately giving listeners a greater fountain of great music to select from, and hopefully giving them the opportunity to discover new artists and genres to add to their personal list of favourites. Support Communities An attendor at various social groups, the original author of the code which drives cchits.net was unable to provide consistent, suitable background music for events he was involved in organising or just attending. This site was originally designed to find tracks which are generally acceptable for public play, and are available under a suitable license for public performance (which Creative Commons music should be!) By asking all submitters of music to identify the license under which the tracks are made available, as well as selecting whether tracks may not be suitable for work or family listening, it should be possible (once the code is in-place) to request from the site a suitable selection of music for playback at venues such as hackspaces, youth centres, or even just hold music for a business. Note that this site is not being created to build a re-licensing business, but instead to promote awareness of great music - there are other, better sites, that can advise and assist in the selection of Creative Commons music which are suitable for your business endeavour, but if you just want something for backing music for an hour or a whole day, this site might be (eventually!) just the thing for you. Create Podcasts and Improve Coding Techniques At the time of writing, cchits.net is the work of one person. For several months, Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs had been considering starting a podcast, however, he's not exactly known for finishing projects! By making a system which is automated enough to create a daily podcast, a weekly podcast and a monthly podcast, playing music that he likes to hear, he thought it might encourage him to stick to it - especially when there are other amazing goals (see above) which come out as a side benefit. He normally has described himself as a writer of "bad PHP code", and each project he starts improves the techniques he has learned. In this instance, CCHits.net has introduced Jon to the concept of writing an API that works, a system of remote execution of code, the generation of synthesized speech and the generation of an audio track, entirely in code! Never being shy of criticism from the community, especially where code is concerned, the code has all been released under a license which encourages reuse and requires the code is re-released under the same license. If you already podcast, and you play Creative Commons Licesed Music on a regular basis, you might be interested in using the API on this site to track the music that people who listen to your show have expressed an interest in.

Ep0757: Episode 0: "Acknowledgement Courtesan"
