Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

[Kevin O'Brien]

Sorry, brain fart on my part, I was not responding to the correct issue
here.

I have followed the guideline of no more than one show every two weeks for
a few years now, and I think it is a good idea. And since the main issue is
that there are not enough shows coming in, it is hard for me to see it as a
binding constraint. If someone has a spurt of creativity and records three
shows in an afternoon, why is it bad to tell them to post one every two
weeks? I generally record a dozen or more shows over a few days, then
upload them in a mass uploading session. Of course, I am retired so this is
a hobby for me, but I kind of like the two week rule. As it is, I kind of
worry that one day I will see messages on the mailing list saying "When
will that guy shut up?" But thankfully that hasn't happened yet.

Regards,

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

[Kevin O'Brien]

I'm a strong believer in the value of licenses like Creative Commons, and I
take them seriously. If there is no way to continue the Oh No news without
violating the license, then as much as I love it, I would vote to stop it.
Is there absolutely no way of continuing it without a license violation,
though? Could a simple change in the show bring it into compliance. As far
as I am aware, you cannot copyright facts, and much of what SGOTI does in
this show is to state that such-and-such happened. Where I would think a
problem would arise is in direct quoting of someone else's copyrighted
material, and even that can be a gray area if the source is cited and only
a little bit is quoted. So my preference would be to look into how
SGOTI can continue his show while being in legal compliance. But if that is
not possible, then I reluctantly come down on the side of license
compliance.

Re: [Hpr] Apologies to the Linux Inlaws

[Kevin O'Brien]

I think you are misstating the issue at hand. I don't think anyone had
any problem with the content, or at least I haven't heard anyone make
that claim. If Chris and Martin had recorded exactly the same shows as
simply members of the HPR community and not branding them as a
separate podcast I think that would have been welcome from day one.

This is of course just my personal opinion, and anyone is free to disagree.

Re: [Hpr] LinuxInlaws and HPR

[Kevin O'Brien]

I would think there are two problems here, potentially. First, if your
plan amounts to having HPR host your own podcast, obviously that is
wrong. But we also ask that people do not post more than once every
two weeks. You may note that I have adhered to this pretty strictly
unless there is an emergency of low shows, and even then I check with
the Janitors first to see if they want the added show.

Having a series on HPR is not a problem, but I think we do that by
topic. I have started several series here, but have always made it
clear that I don't *own* the topic, and anyone else is free to
contribute. To me, the ethos of HPR is that it is a collective in
which group members contribute.

And to be clear, all of the above is my personal opinion, which others
are free to disagree with.

Re: [Hpr] Is HPR a podcast or podcast hosting platform ?

[Kevin O'Brien]

Well, if we are moving from the positive to the normative, I would say
it should remain a podcast.

Definitely a podcast. It is a single feed in my gpodder. If it were a
network, there would be a separate feed for every podcast.

It's a floor wax! No, it's a dessert topping!

Re: [Hpr] Source Code for the HPR website.

[Kevin O'Brien]

Maybe if you release it someone will clean it up. That seems like a
good outcome. I have belonged to several organizations where we had a
rule that if you complained about something an unpaid volunteer did
you were implicitly offering to take it over.

Re: [Hpr] Moving a show out ... again

[Kevin O'Brien]

I think moving it out is fine. But at some point you have to consider
that maybe this person is trying to cause trouble. Back when I taught
Statistics I used a saying: Once is happenstance, twice is
coincidence, three times is enemy action. I'd move this one out, but I
would also make it clear that once more and this person's shows will
no longer be accepted on HPR.

Re: [Hpr] Policy changes discussed on this months Community News

[Kevin O'Brien]

I think these are reasonable. I have adhered to the once every two
weeks schedule, and would cut it down further if asked. I have also
submitted emergency shows when the queue ran dry. Ideally, we would
like to have a wide variety of hosts submitting shows, and I would
like nothing more than to find out that there are no open spaces in
the schedule when I am considering a new show.

Re: [Hpr] https

[Kevin O'Brien]

I use "https everywhere" in my browser, and I never had a problem with
the HPR site. I don't see that it is an issue. Yes, someone could do a
Man In The Middle attack to someone using the http site, but that is
really on the person using a non-encrypted connection in my view. And
I'm not sure why anyone would bother. I have no login credentials to
HPR that anyone could steal, and it is not exactly a secret that I
listen to and contribute to HPR. I personally have a security cert on
my sites because Google will downgrade them in search results if I
don't.

[Hpr] Great week of shows

[Kevin O'Brien]

I was struck by how good the shows were this week, and they included
shows from new or rarely heard contributors. I hope that continues.

Jon Kulp brought back memories of the days before podcasts when I
would walk around listening to tapes. Jezra gave a perfect example of
what it means to be a hacker. thelovebug explained how he got into
amateur radio. Operat0r explained how he does audio processing. And
minnix explained how to use open source software to watch shows. I
enjoyed all of them immensely.

Regards,

Anything that makes processing easier is good, I think.

Re: [Hpr] Regarding episode 3414 and COVID-19 disinformation

[Kevin O'Brien]

I thought the episode in question combined large measures of
misinformation and sloppy thinking, though there was a useful nugget
about Vitamin D, for which there is good evidence.

That said, I have always maintained that if you disagree with a show,
you should record your own show. Or not. I let it go by because I
don't want HPR to turn into an ongoing shouting match. This is a
division in society (though predominantly in the US), and it won't go
away.

Good luck. I am full up with stuff right now. You will, some time in

[Hpr] PDF files

[Kevin O'Brien]

Ken has mentioned wanting PDF files for the tutorials I have done. While
the ultimate solution may require more work, I have made a stop-gap
solution by installing a WordPress plugin that puts a button on each page
that says "Save as PDF". It works pretty well, but it does put a watermark
on each page that says "Demo". I will figure out something better at some
point, but anyone who wants a PDF can get one now. Just use the link in the
show notes to get the page URL, and look on the bottom of the page. For
blog posts, you have to go to the permaddress page for each post.

My longer range plan is to have a "book" for each collection of tutorials,
such as LibreOffice Writer as one book, LibreOffice Calc as another, GIMP
as a third, and so on. And I'll probably get an episode out of that process.

[Hpr] Raspberry Pi

[Kevin O'Brien]

show or two on the controversy, is Raspberry Pi ruined forever, are
there alternatives worth trying instead?

[Hpr] Show topics requested re: Next Cloud

[Kevin O'Brien]

I just listened to the interview with Frank Karlitschek on Linux Inlaws,
and it got me thinking. The interview was mostly about the project itself,
which is fine, but it left me wanting more, and I suspect there
are people in HPR that can satisfy my requests.

1. I'd love to have maybe a short series that might look at how Next Cloud
is installed and configured, then at some of the applications you might
want to use. What are the best apps to replace things like the Google apps,
for instance?
2. If you did install these apps, would they work on mobile phones like my
Android Pixel? What would have to happen for that to work? Do I need other
apps on my phone?
3. Where can this be hosted? I suspect my Internet provider won't let me
run a server at home that talks over the Internet. What other options do I
have? Are any of them relatively inexpensive? How technical do I need to be
to set this up?

So, you can see there is a lot here, and I hope someone(s) will pick it up.

Speaking for myself, everything I do is Creative Commons BY-SA. Since I
always give my name at the beginning, the BY part is covered automatically
if you include the whole show. So just make sure it is Share-Alike and I
have no problem.

Re: [Hpr] HPR Show Notes

[Kevin O'Brien]

To some degree I think this is unavoidable. I have a WordPress plugin that
tells me when a link no longer works, and initially I tried to keep up with
fixing them. But it would end up taking too much of my time. I have just
given up. People need to understand that older pages have links that no
longer work.

Re: [Hpr] Harassment on HPR

[Kevin O'Brien]

I support Ken's suggestion, but I also saw a suggestion to remove host's
contact information, which I hope does not happen. We have had a great
community, and I think we can keep it. And I like that people can easily
find me if they want to go deeper into anything I have discussed. In fact,
just today I got a very nice e-mail from someone who found my LibreOffice
stuff and it solved a vexing problem he had. Pretty much made my day right
there.

Re: [Hpr] Should we reject a show with copyrighted fair use clips in it ?

[Kevin O'Brien]

It violates the policy, so I would reject it. You have to pick your
battles, and I don't see why it is important for HPR to potentially get
into a copyright dispute. Fair Use is not, in the U.S., a right recognized
by any statute. It is best understood as "the right to hire a lawyer". And
the very fact that it has been brought up for discussion may invalidate the
"safe harbor" defense since there is no way you could claim you were
unaware of the copyright violation.

Re: [Hpr] Policy change: Reservations

[Kevin O'Brien]

I don't think I have ever asked for a reservation or saw a need to. Even
when I had time-and-date reasons (like when I did a show promoting
Penguicon), I considered it my responsibility to get the show recorded and
uploaded in sufficient time that I could get a slot that did the job for
me. I think there may be circumstances where someone has a legitimate need
to reserve a slot, but they should be rare.

[Hpr] Title mishap

[Kevin O'Brien]

Due to an unfortunate copy/paste error, my most recent episode (HPR2385)
went out with a title that makes no sense at all. The title was intended to
be "Healthcare Costs". Would it be possible to change it in the vast HPR
database?

Thanks,

[Hpr] Editing my profile

[Kevin O'Brien]

I can't figure out how to edit my personal profile on the HPR site. There
is probably a link to it somewhere, but I can't find it. Can anyone help me?

I don't see any problem. The license allows it (CC-BY-SA), and more

 Hello folks,
 
 My word it's quiet on here.
 
 Since I was all over Ahuka's tutorials like a rash a few weeks ago and
 since I have developed a business imperative for using it, I have been
 doing a lot of LibreOffice Calc.  A great departure for me since any
 mention of words like 'equity', 'percentage' or 'investment' usually
 make my brain freeze over and shut up like a clam.
 
 I now have a question that either Kevin or somebody else might be able
 to answer...
 
 I have a template for a spreadsheet which has one sheet with
 pre-formatted heading and column headings, as well as pre-formatted
 styles for a number of columns.  I have taken the comments in the
 tutorials about templates, which Kevin rightly hammers very hard into
 our brains to heart.
 
 What I want to be able to do is add a sheet and have it created with the
 same pre-formatted cells as the first and original sheet on the template.
 
 Is this possible and how do I do it?

Hi

I also used to be an Access developer. When I came over the fence to 
Linux (2008) I looked for an equivalent tool and made the assumption 
that LibreOffice Base would fit the bill. I spent several months off 
and on attempting to reproduce the sort of user interfaces and 
functionality that are simple and commonplace in Access.


The single most limiting factor is the form designer. Because a Base 
form is really a variant of a Writer document you have a lot less 
control over the general appearance and visual wizardry which you can 
employ. At best a Base application GUI looks like something from the 
very early days of Visual Basic.


The programming language (a Basic variant) is powerful, but you often 
need a lot of code to achieve what may require one or two lines in 
Access. If you've ever created a GUI in Visual C++ and the same in 
VB/VBA then you will appreciate the scale of the difference.


I found the native HSQL database to be very slow once the tables start 
getting large - at least in its LibreOffice implementation. You would 
be better off connecting to a different engine. MySQL gave pretty good 
performance, but then you are moving outside the core Access concept.


Eventually I gave up on Base and looked around for something else. I 
discovered Gambas, which is a development environment using the Basic 
programming language. It's very close to VB in both concept and 
implementation - in fact better in many ways. This can connect to a 
SQLite database in 4 lines of code. You can use explicit coding to 
interface with the database but Gambas also provides data objects and 
bound controls. With SQLite as a single-file database, a Gambas + 
SQLite application is as close to an analog for Access as you will 
find on Linux, with much the same level of developer-friendly 
functionality as Access provides as well.


The latest couple of versions of Access (post ribbon) have introduced 
massive amounts of bloat and become more cumbersome for the developer. 
Gambas avoids all that, making it a pleasure to use.


In brief, Base is the one module of LibreOffice which falls well short 
of its Microsoft equivalent. It has its uses for simple tasks like 
mail-merge but as a development environment I would avoid it. In my 
view, for the Access developer migrating to Linux, Gambas + SQLite is 
the way to go. If you're still on Windows then you're best to bite the 
bullet and stick with Access.

 I'd imagine that Ahuka will get to Base. 
 
 As a preview, I can assure you that you can attach tables and make forms. It 
 might be a little disorienting to create and maintain forms in Libreoffice at 
 first, though. Base does not have a self-contained facility for editing 
 forms.  You do it with Writer.
 
 A few years back, I set up a form to interface with a database of electronics 
 parts. It needed a small amount of code to open a browser window to look up 
 the vendor website based on a URL stored as a Text field in the Parts record. 
  In Access, you can store links as a data type, and just click the link in a 
 table view.  Libreoffice doesn't support this,  but I had it up and running  
 in a weekend. 
 
 So the Base series should be interesting and fun.

 Subject: [Hpr] @Ahuka; Libreoffice base? 
 
 Hello,
 
 I wonder if Kevin is intending to cover Libreoffice base in any shows.
 
 I was an MS Access programmer in a former life, pre 2k and I'm curious
 to know whether Libreoffice Base can be made to do similar stuff.
 
 In particular it would be great if Base could:
 
 1)  Include 'attached' tables in the same way as Access allowed (still
 does?) ODBC tables.
 
 2)  Can create stand-alone applications that can be deployed to the WAN.
 
 3)  Can create complex forms which fit the usual CRUD
 (create/review/update/delete) functions in any DB application, including
 good old one-to-many forms etc.
 
 I used to create client-server apps in Access which were deployed to
 regional offices across the UK.

curses that will make a sailor blush, I try really hard not to do it 
when I am talking about my company.  With that said, here are the 
guidelines I ask for when you record your bit about us.


* Please only mention promotions you see here : 
https://anhonesthost.com/promotions

* Please refrain from swearing when talking about how awesome AnHH is.
* If you are unsure about something about AnHH, ask me.  We have a lot 
of stuff that makes us better than the other hosting companies.


Some examples of that information:
https://anhonesthost.com/about/customers-bill-of-rights
https://anhonesthost.com/a-different-type-of-web-host

Also if anyone is wanting to give a go on the platform first had, I 
can get some shared accounts hooked up for a month trial.


--Josh


My own advice on this is to record one official one that gets it right. 
We are all used to using the one Ken gives us, why change now and run 
these risks?

By all means, we should. As my friend Door-to-door Geek says, support

Hi All,

I got this email last week and Josh, the real HPR admin, is starting a
new hosting business and as such he will be bringing HPR hosting along
with him.

I recorded an interview with him yesterday to get more details and it
turns out he has been footing the bill for HPR Hosting for a while now.
So apologies for the interview turning into an advertisement but we owe
this guy. Their main selling point is honest hosting and their site is
http://AnHonestHost.com. We have a discount code of HPR15 on shared
hosting. Spread the word and the code, the fact you get a daily episode
is testament to their work.

We will of course be including a thank you to our An Honest Host, but
I'd like to put it at the front rather than the end. Think the Linux
Outlaws intro. This would be added automatically during conversion so
Josh can can keep the news fresh and you don't need to add it. Something
like:
quote
HPR is proudly sponsored by AnHonestHost.com. Use the discount code
HPR15 for 15% off all shared hosting at AnHonestHost.com
/quote

As we will be adding this anyway it will also allow us to add
text-to-speech blurb between the sponsor mention and the intro, so
people can decide if they wish to listen to it or not. This was
discussed a long time ago and it descended into a debate on how much
people hate text to speech. Something like:
quote
It is Monday July the 14th and this is HPR episode 1551 entitled
Bitcoin Mining. It is hosted by Scyner and is 8 minutes long. The
Summary: This is a short summary of what steps I took to get a set and
forget bitcoin mining station going
/quote

Da da. Da. Da, da da da d etc.

Therefore the outro also needs to be rerecorded. I want to make sure the
text we include is correct from the start. Currently it is (without the
advertisement)

To: Ken Fallon ken.fal...@gmail.com



Hey Ken,

Just a heads up, I have talked with David and I am getting ready to move
the binrev family of sites off of LP and to my company that I am
starting (AnHonestHost.com).  LP is having some serious issues and I
fear that they wont be around for much longer (at least in it's current
form).  I know HPR has a pretty big following and I would appreciate any
positive words that can be said about my company I am starting.

Right now all of Binrev's costs are coming out of my pocket because the
company isn't making enough yet to be self sustaining.  This is not a
plea for money from you or anyone with HPR, BinRev or any of the other
sites, but a request that people promote us.  The biggest huddle I am
facing is getting our name out there.  I know the folks that are active
on the mailing list and provide shows are an opinionated bunch, and
honestly I would love to hear from them. I would love to know what they
think of our ideas, our plans and our pricing.

Hello list.

I am sending this to the list as an easier way to include Dave and Ken
and because it might amuse others.

I haven't been party to the 'discussions' between Dave and Ken about
database strategies other than some remarks in past community news
'casts in which Ken mentioned many-to-many relationships.

I have to say I think from Ken's remarks in the latest community news
'cast that Dave is probably right and Ken's description of
comma-seperated fields in tables sound like enough to make Mr Codd spin
in his grave.

With this in mind I am going to turn the email I sent to Ken into a
podcast.  I will use SQLite as an RDBMS as it's the world's most used
system of that ilk, and the easiest to set up and run.  I'll also use
Perl to automate some of the table definitions, data insertion and
extraction etc.

It sounds like I might have to split it into more than one show, the
first to define some stuff and explain about SQLite, subsequent show(s)
to talk about many-to-many, entity relationship diagrams etc.

Now I have to go and have a lie down after hearing mention of
comma-seperated data in table columns, yuck.

Mike Ray


Mike, please do. This is exactly what HPR is about. I wouldn't mind if 
it turned into a series on databases.

[Hpr] 2 notes on shows

[Kevin O'Brien]

I was on The Linux Link Tech Show last Wednesday and took the 
opportunity to remind Dann that we are waiting for the next Linux in the 
Shell episode.


Also, there were a lot of talks recorded at NELF recently, and maybe we 
could get permission to put a few of them out on our feed. Just a thought.

 If you have a non urgent show, please consider scheduling it during the
 summer period in the Northern Hemisphere as this is usually when we are
 short of shows. The backup queue is intended only to be used in the
 cases where there is still a gap in the schedule 24 hours prior to release.
 
 The shows will by their very nature need to be timeless, ie: your
 topic should still be relevant in four years or more. People will be
 able to hear the show on the website but they will not be included in
 any feeds until release.
 
 Please begin all shows with text similar to:
 This is a backup show, if you are hearing this then HPR needs shows
 ASAP. Please consider contributing a show. Email admin at hacker public
 radio dot org for more information.
 
 We expect that we need at least 10 shows in the backup queue in order to
 give people enough time to record and submit shows. Remember once that
 all the backup shows have been used up and there are no more shows in
 the queue, HPR as a project will stop.

Re: [Hpr] FOSDEM

I completely agree about the quality of the beer and of the astonishing
event that was FOSDEM.

I went to more talks than Ken (since I don't have the stamina or skills
to be an interviewing juggernaut :) but not as many as I wanted. Quite a
few suffered from demand *far* exceeding room capacity, and I was too
slow to get in.

Although I did meet nido, and Ken of course, I failed to meet up with
any other HPR listeners (sorry Philippe). However, I did meet a large
number of people and got to check their passports and other IDs while
they checked mine. This was at the key signing party on Sunday
afternoon, which was a strange and wonderful event that lasted several
hours.

Now to do my key signing homework and record a show about it all :-)

Dave, when you do please make it a part of the Security and Privacy series.
