Standard UNIX password manager Password management is one of those computing problems you probably don't think about often, because modern computing usually has an obvious default solution built-in. A website prompts you for a password, and your browser auto-fills it in for you. Problem solved. However, not all browsers make it very easy to get to your passwords store, which makes it complex to migrate passwords to a new system without also migrating the rest of your user profile, or to share certain passwords between different users. There are several good open source options that offer alternatives to the obvious defaults, but as a user of Linux and UNIX, I love a minimal and stable solution when one is available. The pass command is a password manager that uses GPG encryption to keep your passwords safe, and it features several system integrations so you can use it seamlessly with your web browser of choice. Install pass The pass command is provided by the PasswordStore project. You can install it from your software repository or ports collection. For example, on Fedora: $ sudo dnf install pass On Debian and similar: $ sudo apt install pass Because the word pass is common, the name of the package may vary, depending on your distribution and operating system. For example, pass is available on Slackware and FreeBSD as password-store. The pass command is open source, so the source code is available at git.zx2c4.com/password-store. Create a GPG key First, you must have a GPG key to use for encryption. You can use a key you already have, or create a new one just for your password store. To create a GPG key, use the gpg command along with the --gen-key option (if you already have a key you want to use for your password store, you can skip this step): $ gpg --gen-key Answer the prompts to generate a key. When prompted to provide values for Real name, Email, and Comment, you must provide a response for each one, even though GPG allows you to leave them empty. In my experience, pass fails to initialize when one of those values is empty. For example, here are my responses for purposes of this article: Real name: Tux Email: tux@example.com Comment: My first key This information is combined, in a different order, to create a unique GPG ID. You can see your GPG key ID at any time: $ gpg --list-secret-keys | grep uid uid: Tux (My first key) tux@example.com Other than that, it's safe to accept the default and recommended options for each prompt. In the end, you have a GPG key to serve as the master key for your password store. You must keep this key safe. Back it up,

HPR4417: Newest matching file

לפני יומיים

—

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Overview Several years ago I wrote a Bash script to perform a task I need to perform almost every day - find the newest file in a series of files. At this point I was running a camera on a Raspberry Pi which was attached to a window and viewed my back garden. I was taking a picture every 15 minutes, giving them names containing the date and time, and storing them in a directory. It was useful to be able to display the latest picture. Since then, I have found that searching for newest files useful in many contexts: Find the image generated by my random recipe chooser, put in the clipboard and send it to the Telegram channel for my family. Generate a weather report from wttr.in and send it to Matrix. Find the screenshot I just made and put it in the clipboard. Of course, I could just use the same name when writing these various files, rather than accumulating several, but I often want to look back through such collections. If I am concerned about such files accumulating in an unwanted way I write cron scripts which run every day and delete the oldest ones. Original script The first iteration of the script was actually written as a Bash function which was loaded at login time. The function is called newest_matching_file and it takes two arguments: A file glob expression to match the file I am looking for. An optional directory to look for the file. If this is omitted, then the current directory will be used. The first version of this function was a bit awkward since it used a for loop to scan the directory, using the glob pattern to find the file. Since Bash glob pattern searches will return the search pattern when they fail, it was necessary to use the nullglob (see references) option to prevent this, turning it on before the search and off afterwards. This technique was replaced later with a pipeline using the find command. Improved Bash script The version using find is what I will explain here. function newest_matching_file { local glob_pattern=${1-} local dir=${2:-$PWD} # Argument number check if [[ $# -eq 0 || $# -gt 2 ]]; then echo 'Usage: newest_matching_file GLOB_PATTERN [DIR]' >&2 return 1 fi # Check the target directory if [[ ! -d $dir ]]; then echo "Unable to find directory $dir" >&2 return 1 fi local newest_file # shellcheck disable=SC2016 newest_file=$(find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -name "$glob_pattern" \ -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort | sed -ne '${s/.\+ //;p}') # Use printf instead of echo in case the file name begins with '-' [[ -n $newest_file ]] && printf '%s\n' "$newest_file" return 0 } The function is in the file newest_matching_file_1.sh , and it's loaded ("sourced", or declared) like this: . newest_matching_file_1.sh The '.' is a short-hand version of the command source . I actually have two versions of this function, with the second one using a regular expression, which the find command is able to search with, but I prefer this one. Explanation The first two lines beginning with local define variables local to the function holding the arguments. The first, glob_pattern is expected to contain something like screenshot_2025-04-*.png . The second will hold the directory to be scanned, or if omitted, will be set to the current directory. Next, an if statement checks that there are the right number of arguments, aborting if not. Note that the echo command writes to STDERR (using '>&2' ), the error channel. Another if statement checks that the target directory actually exists, and aborts if not. Another local variable newest_file is defined. It's good practice not to create global variables in functions since they will "leak" into the calling environment. The variable newest_file is set to the result of a command substitution containing a pipeline: The find command searches the target directory. Using -maxdepth 1 limits the search to the chosen directory and does not descend into sub-directories. The search pattern is defined by -name "$glob_pattern" Using -type f limits the search to files The -printf "%T@ %p\n" argument returns the file's last modification time as the number of seconds since the Unix epoch '%T@' . This is a number which is larger if the file is older. This is followed, after a space, by the full path to the file ( '%p' ), and a newline. The matching file names are sorted. Because each is preceded by a numeric time value, they will be sorted in ascending order of age. Finally sed is used to return the last file in the sorted list with the program '${s/.\+ //;p}' : The use of the -n option ensures that only lines which are explicitly printed will be shown. The sed program looks for the last line (using '$' ). When found the leading numeric time is removed with ' s/.\+ //' and the result is printed (with 'p' ). The end result will either be the path to the newest file or nothing (because there was no match). The expression '[[ -n $newest_file ]]' will be true if $newest_file variable is not empty, and if that is the case, the contents of the variable will be printed on STDOUT, otherwise nothing will be printed. Note that the script returns 1 (false) if there is a failure, and 0 (true) if all is well. A null return is regarded as success. Script update While editing the audio for this show I realised that there is a flaw in the Bash function newest_matching_file . This is in the sed script used to process the output from find . The sed commands used in the script delete all characters up to a space, assuming that this is the only space in the last line. However, if the file name itself contains spaces, this will not work because regular expressions in sed are greedy . What is deleted in this case is everything up to and including the last space. I created a directory called tests and added the following files: 'File 1 with spaces.txt' 'File 2 with spaces.txt' 'File 3 with spaces.txt' I then ran the find command as follows: $ find tests -maxdepth 1 -name 'File*' -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort | sed -ne '${s/.\+ //;p}' spaces.txt I adjusted the sed call to sed -ne '${s/[^ ]\+ //;p}' . This uses the regular expression: s/[^ ]\+ // This now specifies that what it to be removed is every non-space up to and including the first space. The result is: $ find tests -maxdepth 1 -name 'File*' -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort | sed -ne '${s/[^ ]\+ //;p}' tests/File 3 with spaces.txt This change has been propagated to the copy on GitLab . Usage This function is designed to be used in commands or other scripts. For example, I have an alias defined as follows: alias copy_screenshot="xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i \$(newest_matching_file 'Screenshot_*.png' ~/Pictures/Screenshots/)" This uses xclip to load the latest screenshot into the clipboard, so I can paste it into a social media client for example. Perl alternative During the history of this family of scripts I wrote a Perl version. This was originally because the Bash function gave problems when run under the Bourne shell, and I was using pdmenu a lot which internally runs scripts under that shell. #!/usr/bin/env perl use v5.40; use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # Make all IO UTF-8 use Cwd; use File::Find::Rule; # # Script name # ( my $PROG = $0 ) =~ s|.*/||mx; # # Use a regular expression rather than a glob pattern # my $regex = shift; # # Get the directory to search, defaulting to the current one # my $dir = shift // getcwd(); # # Have to have the regular expression # die "Usage: $PROG regex [DIR]\n" unless $regex; # # Collect all the files in the target directory without recursing. Include the # path and let the caller remove it if they want. # my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name(qr/$regex/) ->maxdepth(1) ->in($dir); die "Unsuccessful search\n" unless @files; # # Sort the files by ascending modification time, youngest first # @files = sort {-M($a) <=> -M($b)} @files; # # Report the one which sorted first # say $files[0]; exit; Explanation This is fairly straightforward Perl script, run out of an executable file with a shebang line at the start indicating what is to be used to run it - perl . The preamble defines the Perl version to use, and indicates that UTF-8 (character sets like Unicode) will be acceptable for reading and writing. Two modules are required: Cwd : provides functions for determining the pathname of the current working directory. File::Find::Rule : provides tools for searching the file system (similar to the find command, but with more features). Next the variable $PROG is set to the name under which the script has been invoked. This is useful when giving a brief summary of usage. The first argument is then collected (with shift ) and placed into the variable $regex . The second argument is optional, but if omitted, is set to the current working directory. We see the use of shift again, but if this returns nothing (is undefined), the '//' operator invokes the getcwd() function to get the current working directory. If the $regex variable is not defined, then die is called to terminate the script with an error message. The search itself is invoked using File::Find::Rule and the results are added to the array @files . The multi-line call shows several methods being called in a "chain" to define the rules and invoke the search: file() : sets up a file search name(qr/$regex/) : a rule which applies a regular expression match to each file name, rejecting any that do not match maxdepth(1) : a rule which prevents the search from descending below the top level into sub-directories in($dir) : defines the directory to search (and also begins the search) If the search returns no files (the array is empty), the script ends with an error message. Otherwise the @files array is sorted. This is done by comparing modification times of the files, with the array being reordered such that the "youngest" (newest) file is sorted first. The <=> operator checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand, and if yes then the condition becomes true. This operator is most useful in the Perl sort function. Finally, the newest file is reported. Usage This script can be used in almost the same way as the Bash variant. The difference is that the pattern used to match files is a Perl regular expression. I keep this script in my ~/bin directory, so it can be invoked just by typing its name. I also maintain a symlink called nmf to save typing! The above example, using the Perl version, would be: alias copy_screenshot="xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i \$(nmf 'Screenshot_.*\.png' ~/Pictures/Screenshots/)" In regular expressions '.*' means "any character zero or more times". The '.' in '.png' is escaped because we need an actual dot character. Conclusion The approach in both cases is fairly simple. Files matching a pattern are accumulated, in the Bash case including the modification time. The files are sorted by modification time and the one with the lowest time is the answer. The Bash version has to remove the modification time before printing. This algorithm could be written in many ways. I will probably try rewriting it in other languages in the future, to see which one I think is best.

HPR4415: Sony WH-CH700N A2DP stops working in Fedora

לפני 6 ימים

—

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. After updating the firmware on my Sony Noise Cancelling Headset, and upgrading to Fedora 40 , my A2DP ) profiles stopped working. I did a quick search and found someone with the same issue and it would be fixed in a Kernel upgrade. Common enough on a bleeding edge that is Fedora, however as the months moved on and the kernel upgraded, the problem remained. I tried to implement workarounds several times but eventually came across this passage from hank aka hankuoffroad on the Fedora Forums This is a known behavior when using Bluetooth audio on Linux on hands-free mode: you cannot use A2DP for high-quality audio output while simultaneously using the Bluetooth microphone via HSP/HFP, due to profile limitations in the Bluetooth specification and current Linux audio stack. I knew this of course, but my Sony WH-CH700N Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones don't have a microphone. ... Hold on how does Noise Cancelling work exactly again ? Active noise control (ANC), also known as noise cancellation (NC), or active noise reduction (ANR), is a method for reducing unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound specifically designed to cancel the first Wikipedia If the first is the background noise, it needs a microphone to capture it so it can be inverted. Ah ha...I had recently also disabled my Zoom H2v2 as it was now sometimes acting as a speaker. So presumably pipewire tries to find any microphone on the system, when it cant find the best one it will resort to the one used for noise canceling in the headset. Once the headset is been used for audio in as well, then there isn't enough bandwidth to do high definition audio, so you end up with the low quality two way profiles. Would the solution be as easy as enabling a proper microphone . . . . Provide feedback on this episode .…

IDEAS Calibrating a monitor's HDR settings can significantly improve image quality by adjusting brightness and color. Using HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances the visual experience by improving contrast and color accuracy. Adjusting black levels and brightness helps in achieving optimal visibility for both bright and dark scenes. The calibration of HDR settings involves fine-tuning various parameters like gamma, whites, and blacks. Multi-monitor setups can enhance productivity by allowing more efficient workspace organization. Curved monitors may benefit development tasks by providing a larger visual area without needing multiple displays. Managing dual monitors requires spatial awareness to efficiently switch focus between screens. Windows' snapping features help in organizing windows on multi-monitor setups, enhancing workflow efficiency. The presenter finds the transition from dual monitors to a single large curved monitor advantageous for productivity. A larger screen real estate reduces the need for physical separation of workspaces, easing multitasking. QUOTES "I will be looking at calibrating my monitor's HDR settings."

HPR4407: A 're-response' Bash script

לפני 16 ימים

—

Introduction On 2025-06-19 Ken Fallon did a show, number 4404 , responding to Kevie's show 4398 , which came out on 2025-06-11. Kevie was using a Bash pipeline to find the latest episode in an RSS feed, and download it. He used grep to parse the XML of the feed. Ken's response was to suggest the use of xmlstarlet to parse the XML because such a complex structured format as XML cannot reliably be parsed without a program that "understands" the intricacies of the format's structure. The same applies to other complex formats such as HTML, YAML and JSON. In his show Ken presented a Bash script which dealt with this problem and that of the ordering of episodes in the feed. He asked how others would write such a script, and thus I was motivated to produce this response to his response! Alternative script My script is a remodelling of Ken's, not a completely different solution. It contains a few alternative ways of doing what Ken did, and a reordering of the parts of his original. We will examine the changes in this episode. Script #!/bin/bash # Original (c) CC-0 Ken Fallon 2025 # Modified by Dave Morriss, 2025-06-14 (c) CC-0 podcast="https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/" # [1] while read -r item do # [2] pubDate="${item%;*}" # [3] pubDate="$( \date --date="${pubDate}" --universal +%FT%T )" # [4] url="${item#*;}" # [5] echo "${pubDate};${url}" done < <(curl --silent "${podcast}" | \ xmlstarlet sel --text --template --match 'rss/channel/item' \ --value-of 'concat(pubDate, ";", enclosure/@url)' --nl - ) | \ sort --numeric-sort --reverse | \ head -1 | \ cut -f2 -d';' | wget --quiet --input-file=- # [6] I have placed some comments in the script in the form of '# [1]' and I'll refer to these as I describe the changes in the following numbered list. Note: I checked, and the script will run with the comments, though they are only there to make it easier to refer to things. The format of the pipeline is different. It starts by defining a while loop, but the data which the read command receives comes from a process substitution of the form '<(statements)' (see the process substitution section of "hpr2045 :: Some other Bash tips" ). I have arranged the pipeline in this way because it's bad practice to place a while in a pipeline, as discussed in the show: hpr3985 :: Bash snippet - be careful when feeding data to loops . (I added -r to the read because shellcheck , which I run in the vim editor, nagged me!) The lines coming from the process substitution are from running curl to collect the feed, then using xmlstarlet to pick out the pubDate field of the item, and the url attribute of the enclosure field returning them as two strings separated by a semicolon ( ';' ). This is from Ken's original code. Each line is read into the variable item , and the first element (before the semicolon) is extracted with the Bash expression "${item%;*}" .…

HPR4406: SVG Files: Cyber Threat Hidden in Images

Out of nowhere, my Firefox browser on my Mac mini started automatically adding every page I visited to my bookmarks. At first, I thought it was a bug after recent update —maybe a misconfigured setting or similar. But when I searched for a fix, Google suggested something alarming: Scan for malware. And guess what? The source of my trouble turned out to be an 4 SVG files hiding malicious code. That’s right—those innocent-looking vector graphics files we use every day for logos, icons, and web design? They can secretly carry malware. In my case those were the files, a logos of reputable delivery companies like deliveroo and JustEat which I have downloaded while I was updating a website for my client.

More Command line fun: downloading a podcast In the show hpr4398 :: Command line fun: downloading a podcast Kevie walked us through a command to download a podcast. He used some techniques here that I hadn't used before, and it's always great to see how other people approach the problem. Let's have a look at the script and walk through what it does, then we'll have a look at some "traps for young players" as the EEVBlog is fond of saying. Analysis of the Script wget `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -o 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | head -1` It chains four different commands together to "Save the latest file from a feed". Let's break it down so we can have checkpoints between each step. I often do this when writing a complex one liner - first do it as steps, and then combine it. The curl command gets https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ . To do this ourselves we will call curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ --output tuxjam.xml , as the default file name is index.html. This gives us a xml file, and we can confirm it's valid xml with the xmllint command. $ xmllint --format tuxjam.xml >/dev/null $ echo $? 0 Here the output of the command is ignored by redirecting it to /dev/null Then we check the error code the last command had. As it's 0 it completed sucessfully. Kevie then passes the output to the grep search command with the option -o and then looks for any string starting with https followed by anything then followed by two forward slashes, then -o, --only-matching Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such part on a separate output line We can do the same with. I was not aware that grep defaulted to regex, as I tend to add the --perl-regexp to explicitly add it. grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml http matches the characters http literally (case sensitive) s* matches the character s literally (case sensitive) Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] : matches the character : literally / matches the character / literally / matches the character / literally [^"]* match a single character not present in the list below Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] " a single character in the list " literally (case sensitive) ogg matches the characters ogg literally (case sensitive) When we run this ourselves we get the following $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://t…

HPR4397: Transfer files from desktop to phone with qrcp

לפני 4 weeks

—

How does it work? qrcp binds a web server to the address of your Wi-Fi network interface on a random port and creates a handler for it. The default handler serves the content and exits the program when the transfer is complete. When used to receive files, qrcp serves an upload page and handles the transfer. The tool prints a QR code that encodes the text: http://{address}:{port}/{random_path} Most QR apps can detect URLs in decoded text and act accordingly (i.e. open the decoded URL with the default browser), so when the QR code is scanned the content will begin downloading by the mobile browser.

Apologies for not introducing myself in the audio! I struggled a bit to take on this topic at a high enough level to keep it to about a half hour, because every subtopic is nuanced and the details are always technical. Not sure how well it worked out but my intention was to focus mainly on the 2 most common examples - hiding messages in text and in images. Topics I mentioned: encryption vs steganography who uses steganography and for what purpose? hiding text in text hiding data in images using LSB encoding hiding data in other places steganalysis If you want to leave feedback, consider saying whether you think it would be more useful to talk about: using the most popular tools and software detailed look at specific steganographic techniques case studies in the unlikely case that I do a followup episode (I doubt there's a strong interest in this topic)…

HPR4384: Browser and dedicated apps on the mobile phone

לפני 7 weeks

—

Recently I had a discussion on Mastodon about mobile phone applications. The other person stated "the web belongs to web browsers". I agreed to it as a general good approach. Some dedicated apps cannot be substituted with the browser, but some can. I do not have so many apps myself, but anyway that statement got me to review a couple of my apps how they works in the Firefox browser. And actually, I could delete three apps and all functions I needed from them can be managed from Firefox. Beside traditional bookmarks, those pages can be pinned to the Firefox start page or placed like a webapp on the mobile screen, so they look like an ordinary app. Using the Firefox browser makes it easier to control the privacy. In addition to what is built into Firefox, I currently also have the two extensions, Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin in my Firefox browser. Beside privacy and in general to be somewhat more in control, this approach also reduces the number of apps to keep updated and reduce storage need. Sometimes apps are necessary of otherwise beneficial. But I think the traditional browser should not be forgotten also on the smart mobile phone.…

HPR4382: Understanding Antenna Gain and the Decibel scale

לפני 7 weeks

—

Power Measurement and Antenna Gain HPR show by Paulj, May 2025. 1.0 Power expressed in dB (also written as dBW) Power PdB = 10 . log10P Where P is the power expressed in Watts. 2.0 Power expressed in dBm Power PdBm = 10 . log10P Where P is the power expressed in milliwatts. 1W = 1000mW Power PdBm = 10 . log101000mW Power PdBm = 30 dBm so: 0 dB = 30 dBm 3.0 Power expressed relative to an isotropic antenna - dBi An Isotropic antenna is an theoretical ideal antenna which radiates equally in all directions. Imagine the antenna is at the centre of a sphere, the signal strength at the surface of the sphere is equal at all points. The gain of an isotropic antenna is defined as 1, meaning: 10 dB = 10 dBi 4.0 Power expressed relative to a half wave dipole antenna - dBd The simplest practical antenna is a half wave dipole antenna, where each of the two legs is a quarter wave length long. The feed is at the centre, and the two legs are generally horizontal, and aligned away from the feed point 180 degrees apart. The dipole antenna exhibits gain perpendicular to the legs. The maximum gain is 1.64 times the isotropic antenna - a gain of approximately 2.15dBi. The gain off the ends of the dipole is much lower - the total power radiated by the antenna can not exceed the power being input, so if there is more radiation (gain) in one direction, there must be a corresponding reduction in a different direction. So: 2.15 dBi = 0 dBd 5.0 Effective Radiated Power - ERP and EIRP ERP and EIRP are both used to indicate the power achieved using an antenna.ERP compares the antenna performance with a dipole, and EIRP compares the performance with an isotropic antenna. So, the ERP is the power which would need to be fed into a dipole antenna, to get the same effect in the direction your antenna is pointing. EIRP is the power required for an isotropic antenna to gain equivalence. Practical example: My KX3 can transmit 15W. using the formula above, this is 11.77 dB. If I attach a Yagi-Uda antenna with a gain of 10dB, the ERP is 21.77 dB. Using the formula above, from this number you can calculate that this is the equivalent of 150.3142 Watts ERP. To understand the EIRP, we need to add 2.15 to the 21.77 dB value, giving 23.92 dB EIRP. Again, converting to actual power gives 246.515 Watts EIRP. If you are comparing antennas, make sure the same units are being used in all cases (either EIRP or ERP) - some sellers will use EIRP, because the values are higher! Check your licence conditions. Power output limits are often at the antenna, and don't include antenna gain. You can set your transmitter to output sufficient power to overcome any feed line losses, and present up to the power permitted to the antenna. A good antenna can then be used to get the transmitted power out and across the world. For feedline loses, the value is given in dB per 10 metres. For example, RG58 is 2dB / 10 metres (at…

HPR4379: Mapping Municipalities' Digital Dependencies

לפני 8 weeks

—

In this episode, I discuss my ongoing project aimed at mapping the dependencies municipalities have on major third-party digital services, particularly focusing on Microsoft and Google , given their dominance in the market. The aim of this research isn't about debating the quality of these products—it's assumed that with thousands of employees, these services meet most quality expectations. Instead, the focus is on the critical implications of widespread dependency and potential risks related to service interruptions or supply chain attacks. Why is this important? Supply Chain Attacks : High dependency means higher vulnerability to targeted disruptions. Business Continuity : Significant risks were illustrated by incidents such as the CrowdStrike outage in July 2024 , which forced Brussels Airport back to pencil-and-paper operations temporarily. My Research Approach: Primarily, I analyze the DNS MX records of municipalities: MX records typically reveal if mail services are hosted on Microsoft (Office 365/Exchange Online) or Google (Workspace). A high probability that using these providers for email also means municipalities likely depend on the respective cloud office suite (e.g., Word/Excel/SharePoint or Docs/Sheets/Drive). Preliminary Observations: Belgium, Finland, Netherlands : Over 70% of municipalities rely heavily on Microsoft mail services, a significant warning sign of dependency. Germany, Hungary : Fewer than 5% of municipalities use Microsoft or Google explicitly via MX records, though caution is necessary. Here’s why: Challenges Identified: Local MS Exchange Servers : Municipally hosted local installations aren't externally identifiable via MX records. Mail Proxies : Some municipalities use mail proxy services (spam/phishing filters) obscuring the actual mail service used behind proxy domains. Techniques Tested: SPF Records : Often reveal the underlying email service, though they may contain outdated information, lowering reliability. Telnet EHLO Commands : Municipalities commonly obscure their SMTP headers, limiting usefulness. Cloud Provider IP-Ranges : Investigating if mail servers run on Google, Amazon, or Azure infrastructure. Even if identified, this alone doesn't clarify if proprietary or replaceable services are used. TXT Records : Occasionally contain subscription keys or mail-related settings (e.g., MS subscriptions, Mailjet), but again, could be historical remnants. Unfortunately, none of these get to show me all of the third party services. Community Call: I'm reaching out to listeners and the broader community for ideas or techniques on reliably fingerprinting the actual digital service providers behind mail servers. Specifically: How to accurately determine if servers run Microsoft or Google services ? Any ideas to detect deployments of Nextcloud or similar open-source alternatives? Resources: Project Webpage : jurgen.gaeremyn.be/map.html Source Code : gitlab.com/jurgeng/mxcheck I'm looking forward to all your suggestions in the comments!…

Lessons I've learned moderating 5+ tech panels: Preparation: Be familiar with the panelists and their subject matter. Avoid asking common questions. Set up the stage using a semicircle arrangement rather than formal tables to promote dialogue between panelists. Ensure that each panelist has their own microphone to prevent any accidental dominance in the discussion. Execution: Set a friendly and informal tone before the panel starts to help nervous panelists relax. Involve the audience by encouraging questions and conducting polls to increase engagement. Use a central microphone for audience questions to avoid delays and maintain a smooth flow. Listen carefully to questions and rephrase them if necessary to ensure clarity for the panelists. Know when to politely wrap up discussions to keep the conversation moving.…

Topic 4: My audio editing (when I do) With examples. * On the sibilance ("sss") example, the adjustment settings for the to-be-better fragment was an agressive cut of -7.4 dB on frequency 5.8 kHz (for advanced curiosity: Q 4.73, threshold -36.3 dB, ratio 3.8:1). Did it only with some testing, and knowing that sibilance normally is at about 6 kHz (when it happens, because here the dynamic microphone ended up not capturing too much of it). Topic 5: I'm in a new working time If you can, do a word of prayer to God in favour of me. If anything I said "that is better" is, actually, worse, don't worry thinking you are perceiving it wrongly, it's just that I'm not a professional and can have made it wrong. Or it's only a matter of taste, it's fine also; the ideas are there, and I welcome your participation too. Thank you!

But he then imagined how a future society might develop with robots, and he pictured this in a series of novels that have become classics in their own right.

HPR4357: Short introduction by murph.

לפני 12 weeks

—

This is just an introduction, here is the rough text of the audio: Hello HPR: I'm murph, I've been an HPR listener for a long-time, into the TWAT days. I'll try to keep it quick. I started in computers in the early 80's with a VIC-20. After a few of the Commodore 8-bits, I settled into the Amiga line, which I daily drove up into this century, and stll have a few. In college in the 90's, I had a dilemma. I wanted to do C programming homework from home, but the expensive Amiga compiler wasn't compatible with the Sun workstations at school. Another student introduced me to Linux, and I promptly ordered a set of Slackware CDs and figured out how to install. I was looking for the compilers to complete my studies, but have stayed for the freedom, and the communities, like this one. I've used countless distros over the years, and use a few for different needs. I am still a Linux user, and system administrator. I've given a few talks on things like gnu/screen, mastodon, tmux ay conventions like Penguicon, SCaLE, HOPE and some more regional conferences. I was inspired by Lyle and Thaj Sera's HPR birds of a feather talk, and thought that it would make a good presentation, and asked them to let me base a talk off of it, which they encouraged. Part of that is how to submit a show, which resulted in me finally, after all this time, finally submitting one of my own, as opposed to the occassional show I've crassly barged into. If you want to reach me, the best ways would be by email or on the fediverse, @murph@hackers.town Thanks for listening.…

HPR4355: Record player audio - Streaming with Darkice

לפני 13 weeks

—

Intro Hello, this is your host, Archer72, for Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, this is my third show involving my record player. I am using a Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder microphone, recording into Audacity for this show. Why visit the record shop? Picking up a record at the record shop expands my music choices. I get a chance to talk to the owner on the weekend when searching for new music. He is an archaeologist and a teacher at a local college during the week, and is knowledgeable on all the music in the store. One Year With the Institute - Archive.org I wanted a way to listen to the records while on my laptop, preferably with headphones, as to not disturb the household. How is this accomplished? This is done using a combination of Darkice to capture the stream, and Icecast to stream it to the local network. What is Icecast? Icecast is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction. Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/icecast.xml.dist.gz icecast.xml.dist if the default config gets mangled or corrupted by myself. Several other types of configs are also in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/ that include a bare bones config and the installed icecast2 config is located in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml Configuration needed to be personalized <location>Cynthiana,KY</location> <admin>ricemark20.nospam@nospam.gmail.com</admin> Change the passwords from hackme to a more secure password <authentication>  <source-password>hackme</source-password>  <relay-password>hackme</relay-password>  <admin-user>admin</admin-user> <admin-password>hackme</admin-password> </authentication>  <hostname>192.168.x.x</hostname> mountPoint = live # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server name = DarkIce Vinyl Stream # name of the stream description = This is my Vinyl stream # description of the stream url = http://localhost # URL related to the stream genre = Podca…

If you you take a lot of photos, some of them will show problems. But you don't need to throw them away. With GIMP, you can fix these common problems and restore your photos. In this episode I take a look at two problems that turn out to be related and to have similar fixes: Dark photos, and Color problems.

HPR4348: Resizing the root partition on a PC

לפני 14 weeks

—

Background It all happened when I noticed that a disk space monitor sitting in the top right hand side on my Gnome desktop was red. On inspection I discovered that my root filesystem was 87% full. The root partition was only 37GB in size which meant there was less than 4GB of space left. When I thought back I remembered that my PC was running a bit slower than usual and that that the lack of space in the root partition could have been to blame. I had some tasks that I wanted to complete and thought I’d better do something about the lack of space before it became an even bigger problem. What happened As per usual all this happened when I was short of time and I was in a bit of a hurry. Lesson one don’t do this sort of thing when your in a bit of a hurry. Because I was in a hurry I didn’t spend time doing a complete backup. Lesson two do a backup. My plan was to get some space back by shrinking my home partition leaving some empty space to allow me to increase the size of my root partition. For speed and ease I decided to use Gparted as I have used this many times in the past. Wikipedia article about Gparted Official Gparted webpage It’s not a good idea to try and resize and or move a mounted filesystem so a bootable live version of Gparted would be a good idea. The reason for this is that if you run Gparted from your normal Linux OS and the OS decides to write something to the disk while Gparted is also trying to write or move things on the disk then as you could imagine very bad things could and probably would happen. I knew I had an old bootable live CDROM with Gparted on it as I had used this many times in the past though not for a few years. As I was short on time I thought this would be the quickest way to get the job done. I booted up the live CD and setup the various operations such as shrinking the home partitions, moving it to the right to leave space for the root partition then finally increasing the size of the almost full root partition. What I didn’t notice at the time is that there was a tiny explanation mark on at least one of the partitions. I probably missed this because I was in a hurry. Lesson three don’t rush things and be on the lookout for any error messages. When I clicked the green tick button to carry out the operations it briefly seemed to start and almost instantly stopped saying that there were errors and that the operation was unsuccessful and something about unsupported 64 bit filesystems. At this point I thought / hoped that nothing had actually happened. My guess was that the old live Gparted distribution I was using didn’t support Ext4 though I could be completely wrong on this. Lesson four don’t use old versions of Gparted particularly when performing operations on modern filesystems. Wikipedia article about the Ext4 filesystem I removed the Gparted bootable CD and rebooted my PC. At this point I got lots of errors scrolling up the screen I then got a message I’ve never see before from memory I think it said Journaling It then said something about pass 1 pass 2 pass 3 and continued all the way to 5. Then it talked about recovering data blocks. At this point I got very nervous. I had all sorts of fears going through my head. I imagined I may have lost all the contents of my hard-rive. The whole experience was very scary. I let it complete all operations an…

HPR4347: "Of my country!" Brazil - in a Southern city viewing

לפני 14 weeks

—

I’m glad I’m here with you! I'll tell my impressions on things of my Brazilian country. Pardon me for some high-volume transitions ! Trying and testing the brickabrackis ( possibilities ). Pleasing or not. Thanks! Topics: 1- Sistema Único de Saúde (the national health system) Works! Any citizen, any person, has access to health treatment: no payment, no check if the person has payed taxes on anything, if is a worker or not. Of course, waiting time might be a problem if it's not an urgency or emergency, and quality varies (as any service, paid or not), according to city (capital or country town, more structured or smaller cities), hospital, the specific doctor and support team etc. 2- Tap water The water from the tap is safe, recognized as drinking water (in my city, and maybe in many if not most). The water treatment company ("Sanepar") here even sells their water bottled, and sponsors events that distribute them (sports events) to show the quality. But people don't use to drink from the tap it directly. If they do not use a filter, it's common to buy water in 20 liters carboys (big plastic bottles, 20L is a bit more than 5 gallons) . I use this last option, but drink water under the shower also. Most people (that I know, of course) simply don't drink water ! I don't know. I don't understand how it is, but they don't drink water, not even a liter per day. Coffee and soda are the most common "substitutes". 3- Religion numbers Statistics about religion are very misleading. You can find different numbers but it's generally: more than half identifying as Catholics. More than 20% evangelical, 10% without religion. But those numbers say nothing about reality of what you find in the streets. Maybe because in some areas it's embarassing to identify as an atheist, as if you're immoral and cannot be trusted; so, people without religion simply say the religion of the family, or the generic "catholic, non-practicing". 4- Brazilian Law Our law is written and detailed. Everything you could want to know about our judicial system, our rights and etc. are explicit in laws; and our Constitution, in force since 1988, with more than 200 articles, guides all. The Supreme Court can make and change interpretations and, thus, issue binding decisions that are not seem in the law, but this is the exception. Cover of the official edition of the Brazilian Constitution in the English Language. (Source: https://www.stf.jus.br/arquivo/cms/legislacaoConstituicao/anexo/Brazil_Federal_Constitution_EC_125.pdf. Accessed on February 2025.) Most of the norms are federal and encompass the entire nation: it is a reason we are so "equal", in many senses, while living in a country with 212 million people (official estimation of IBGE, July 1st 2024 * ) and that represents 48% of the size of South America. 5- Now something very specific to my city, a capital city on the south of the country It's not expected to say Good morning when you cross with a stranger on the street. No Hello or Good morning to the bus driver also. I mean, a lot of people greet, but many don't and it's common to not do so. In many other parts of the country, of course, it's different. For example, I lived in a capital city on the north, and everybody expected you to say Good Morning! when entering an elevator in the morning, behavior that generally makes people think you're strange here in my southern city. If I ask for the name of a seller on a store, to be more polite saying his or her name occasionally if I am making a lot of questions and demanding more attention time, they as…
