This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3,786 from Monday, 6 February 2023. Today's show is entitled, HPR Community News for January 2023. It is part of the series HPR Community News. It is hosted by HPR Volunteers and is about 48 minutes long. It carries an explicit flag. The summary is, HPR Volunteers talk about shows released and comments posted in January 2023. Hello everybody, this is Dave Morris, and I'm recording a show for Hacker Public Radio which is the community news for January 2023. I'm on my own this time because Ken's in Brussels at Fosdem, and nobody else was available, or he said it didn't ask enough people to see if they were available to be honest, to help me out with this. So it's going to be a solo effort. I think the universe is conspiring against this a little bit. I just connected to the mumble server to try and record there, but Ken's connected his phone to it, and it's broadcasting the chat at the free culture podcast booth that we're running this year. Oh, I can't get word in edge ways, and he's so busy, he's not able to hear hear me or spot that I'm sending messages, so standalone is the way today. So, in case you don't know what this is all about, this is the community news show which we have every month, it comes up on the first Monday of each month, and we record it on the Saturday before that, usually. And what we do here is we have a sort of recipe, a fairly strict format, where we go through all the shows that have been submitted and broadcast in the past month, and we to a quick review of those, look at the comments, read the comments, and then we do a few other things like introduce any new hosts, and we look at anything on the mailing list and any other business, so that's what I'm going to do, so we'll start with looking at any new hosts we have, and we indeed have a new host this month, and it's any stellar show I should be commenting on shortly, so going on from there to the first show of the month, on the first show of the month was the community news for December, and we don't usually get comments on these, I actually say something really laughed or controversial, and we didn't do either those things, so nothing to say about that one particular, 3762 is the next show, which is entitled, Existence is Pain, and it's from operator, and he's talking about various problems from repetitive strain injuries from bad ergonomics and so forth, being at keyboard a lot of the time, and all that sort of thing, and yeah, I'm sure we've all probably experienced something of this, it was a good show, it was interesting to hear, but it does sound awful, he's suffering quite badly, but he had some possible solutions in advice, so it was an excellent show I thought, and there were two comments on this one, first one was from Trey, and he says, thanks for sharing, it's been a while since I posted a show, and this is mostly due to physical limitations, which started with most shoulder, in quotes, and now 12 weeks post, rotated, cuff repair surgery, that's what gets damaged when you have a so-called mass shoulder, just as me interjecting, he says, I've been considering doing a show, or small series of shows about similar topics as they relate to the things we choose to do, and the potential physical impacts on a sold folk, I did hear a rumor that HBR could use a show or 10, he says, he's quite right, we did get quite a surge of shows early on in the month, but they're going to run out, I think, in a week or two, so we got 10 days, so we're still, we're constantly desperate for shows in fact, it's rare that we can just sit back and relax about the number of shows coming in. Second comment was from one of Spoon's, who says, character entry devices, have you heard of Kara Corder, a brand name for Cording devices, these devices help you reach typing these fees of up to 250 words a minute without moving your fingers very much, each finger switches like a mini joystick, devices are not cheap, but I think they sell the logic boards or USB pass through device, so you could compare 3D printing costs or wait for underpriced copies, they have a dot com website, I haven't file that one up myself, but that sounds really interesting, I'm not sure I have the coordination to do that sort of stuff myself, but there you go, next show was from migrae and it's entitled the bottom mine hoff phenomenon, this is basically the issue of when you've heard a name or a subject coming up at some point, something you've maybe not heard of before, haven't heard for a very long time, then you tend to keep hearing it over and over again, but you notice that same thing after encountering a few times, and I've never heard of it, I've heard of that by the bottom mine hoff issues in Germany, long ago, which might spoke about the Red Army faction, yeah I remember that, but I didn't know there was a phenomenon named after it, but quite interesting, it's good to learn, you think, there were two comments to this one, we had one from Viv, met a meta bar to mine hoff, it was the title, less than two hours after listening to this, I was watching the new young ones, Fortyth anniversary Blu-ray, near the end of the episode, the gang are outside the bank, they're about to rob and Rick says, yeah come on, Robin Hood, bottom mine hoff, those bank clerks didn't have to become bank clerks, they knew the rest when they took the job, let's just get in there and let them have it, so yeah, bottom mine hoff is probably a term and name, the floats around, but once you've heard it once, it triggers you to spot it again, I guess. Mike Ray says, I rest my case, this is happened to me many, many times and to most adults to us, respect, psychology interests me cognitive biases of all kinds in particular, the way human brains are so attuned to pattern recognition, the survival imperative, very very deep in our most native brain parts, the lizard brain, a lot of people call it, I think the argument is that you see a thing, an unusual thing, it's a pattern, it's a word pattern in this case and you tend to notice it more, so it's an interesting thing, it's well worth digging into more if it interests you, I think. The next we have Annie Stella's first show, which is entitled, my text focused journey into tech and there's quite a number of topics being talked about, I thought the show was excellent and it's Stella is a professional writer who interestingly uses e-max to a large extent, he's talking about all manner of things relating to writing and the things you can use to simplify the process, as I mentioned RSI, which is an interesting subject that's a bit of barred in my hub, isn't it, we just talked about RSI, anyway yeah I enjoyed this show very much, this was this was a great first show and we had one comment on it, which is from Brian in Ohio, he says, e-max rocks, great show, keep them coming, e-max rocks three exclamation marks, so the next one was from, this is show 3765 from Celeste, which is in type of fixing clock events in GBA Pokemon cartridges, there are no comments on this one but it was most interesting, it was quite a strange story that this cartridge, the device loses track of time in the battery fails and can't then be reset to the right time easily and so much in the game is dependent on time, so that's something of a problem, so yeah that's a lot of gamers so I've not really encountered this sort of stuff but it makes sense but it also seems like a dreadful design, it's fascinating to listen to, good show I thought, now I'm looking at the page for this show, I forgot to mention and it's coming up later but there's a tool called whisper which will have a lesson to audio and will produce various qualities of transcriptions and to can has been running whisper on shows as they come in and then adding a list of the files with the different transcripts textual transcripts so there's a TXT version and other ones that I don't really understand but yeah it's actually and I should also say he's also been working very hard to go back to the first show, HPR001 and process that and all the ones following up to present day, so we actually have transcripts of everything, now I think I'm right in saying it might be one of two gaps but we'll sort them out but they're really interesting that the thing does a good job of making transcripts, this is another AI tool, what should it come from, there's a link later on in the notes but I can't remember, so yeah this is this is quite a significant milestone in the HPR world I would say, I might mention that a bit later on at the end of this episode, next show is from Bookworm and it's called Asa Nitro 5 Laptop Review and he's talking about it's a show from a wild bag which he hadn't got around to sending in and it's a new laptop that he got and then he sent in there and he added a recent update to say it's been fine for the past two or three years but had a few issues so that's quite a useful bit of information if you were thinking of buying one of these for yourself two comments, this one Claudio M says good review but still avoiding gaming laptops, really enjoyed the review of the laptop especially the follow-up, still I've been turned off all gaming laptops in spite of the temptation they provide, I want to try to buy a electronic gaming laptop after reading good reviews from them but after a botched purchase attempt I decided to skip it and go with the used HP Pro Book for 540s which had radion and Intel graphics unbeknownst to the seller, over what really told me off on gaming laptops is when I attempted to repair my son's MSI gaming laptops keyboard, what a nightmare I had to remove everything to get to the keyboard and even then I wasn't able to replace the keyboard because the board of the ribbon was glued on from that point forward and at the site I'd go with the gaming desktop of the future and stick with laptops at a more serviceable something like the framework via their way but when replies reply to Claudio in a past life I was a certified HP repair tech they are very easy to work on to be honest the primary feature I was looking for was the additional drive base and graphics card I don't actually do much gaming on the laptop with two organ slots for SSD HDD I was able to add 128 gig shared drive and one terabyte OS drive for my Linux and store which is where I spend most of my time so fair enough it's a decision that you need to wake up obviously next we have a show from archer 72 which is entitled LP article from Wikipedia and in this case it's an article and Wikipedia articles you would have gathered about the LP record and it was 42 minutes long but I tend to look at that sort of show coming up and go oh I wonder if I'll be bored but I wasn't that was great I really enjoyed this it's um the reading was really nice and clear and the the content something I don't I'm gonna live through the LP record era uh bought them when I was a teenager and whatever um but uh yeah I don't I'm much about the whole subject so it was really good to to hear it I enjoyed this one a lot there was one comment and it was from Celeste and the title is r i a a curve and Italian youtuber video reading about r i a a equalization and vinyl discs made me remember about this video I watched some time ago I hope the automatic subtitles are good enough he made an LP disc out of chocolate engraving it on his own and applying the r i a a a equalization first being able to hear something out of the noise is quite cool and there's a link to the youtube video a chocolate outfit that's I think there's also a more recent one using laser engraver on wood instead of chocolate that's your LP melt slowly you didn't play it in fridge in a freezer or something interesting show though so next we had stash a f sending in a show entitled cheap ignition repair and this one's got a lot of pictures which always caused me a little bit of anxiety because my picture management of incoming shows is still not quite quite right but it's getting better and the pictures are great though they really help a lot to understand what's going on so he's doing doing repairs on his sheet and yeah it explains it well with pictures under and the audio of course there was a comment from one of spoons who says earpieces funny how you apologise for the gentle background noise of a distant airplane and sent many many lumb leaps into my well sealed earpiece i didn't notice that was a need to tie a piece of strings the phone or wine next time i've got my gloves in the group my mistake thanks for the show for yeah it's a loud noises and things can be a bit bit disturbing i didn't really notice myself next show was 3769 crashing laptop hidden server part zero from some guy on the internet and this is a the notes of this one just just enormous and amazing really good um being a show note efficient idler i tend to look at these things there was a discussion with archer 72 about prox mox a lot of information and it's for running virtual machines in a sort of server context is what i understood but i will admit i didn't fully fully get the nuances of this it sounds really a really good idea if that's what you need but you do need a fairly hefty machine to to get much out of it i think the other message i got but there's loads and loads of links in here so if this is something you want to dig into more deeply then it's a great resource so if i ever want to get into prox mox i know where to go the same with you there's no little comments on this particular one but certainly say it was a great show next show was from a hookah and it's about uh it his RV life as he puts it and he's in Arizona and he's in the town of Tucson so he says we move to Benson and can just side these tattoos on where we will stay for a month and he's um yeah i love the format of well i'd be along with him monies on his holiday that's great and um it's it's great to to follow along in this way and he's uh his notes and stuff uh presumably from his whatever journal he's been keeping it he's been been traveling next was a show from Paul Quirk who we haven't heard from for a while how i limited pain naturally and he says it's a some way i just got about managed to eliminate pain from carpal tunnel syndrome and osteo arthritis and he talks about using regular exercise to help reduce joint pains and stuff and uh he seems to be very enthusiastic about using an elliptical trainer tend to be called cross trainers in this country not really sure why but yeah the the thing about exercising to help with joint pains and stuff is something I'm particularly interested in at the moment because i'm signed up to a course with uh a sort of adjunct to the NHS called no field health there are charity and they offer joint pain relief exercise classes or workshops or whatever so i'm going to those great show most interesting and um Brian and Ohio comments music great show good encouragement nice tunes because some Paul uh Paul Quirk uh put some of his own music in and says if you're interested then let me know interested in more so next we have Andrew Conway currently at bosdam with with Ken and and others and he is talking about solar panels he's got uh the titles and adventures with the small solar panel and he's looking at the cheap solar panel and learning a bit about how it works and doesn't work so he's so looking into this in fair amount of detail and it's it's some good information there actually i didn't never really consider what a solar panel could do for you and how you how you can use it but this this covers the subject rather well i think there's a comment from Brian and Ohio who says good info the show is great lots of good information can't wait to hear more stuff like it yeah good it's a good show nice to hear Andrew on the hpr and uh there's another one coming up but oh yeah this month too yeah so we'll be doing about one shortly then we had another show from Mike Ray which is wonderful it's good to hear from Mike um always he's talking about my public speaking rules some tips on public speaking for technical talks or lectures and he's basically listing his rules for uh speaking in public in uh if you're nervous about it good to have some ideas about you gonna structure the thing ahead of time and uh yeah i think the rule is very valuable i mean he's he's item always itemized them all rather nicely there are number of comments this one is five empiredo says i must listen to all who aspire to speak to an audience a couple of thoughts prompted by this episode i have net i've given talks to hostile audiences or at least audiences with some hostile attendees i've given talks with our attendees that are only there i don't have them in talk that they must be there typically by their boss body language usually gives these people away once their recognised as hostile they can mostly be ignored allowing the speaker to focus on the people who indeed have chosen to be there whoever the hostile attendee is very rare i've found when including humour it's best to avoid a pause after the humour is delivered there is a tendency to pause to allow the audience to respond with laughter however if the humour does not succeed the pause would be very awkward it's so it's much better to go straight to the next statement after the humour if the humour works and there's laughter it pause mid-sentence post humour is fine start the interrupted sentence over when the laughter diminishes and all is good if the humour didn't work the lack of a pause allows the audience to continue listening enough and not even notice that there was an unsuccessful attempt at humour and the speaker does not suffer the embarrassment of appearing to try to be funny pauses are good but tricky when they follow humour just some thoughts from listening to this very good episode that's a really useful common I think trace says thanks for sharing very well presented mike i personally enjoy public speaking and teaching but i was still able to gain some nuggets of wisdom from your podcast even after years of speaking i still struggle with the meeting um uh etc it's usually happened if i lose my place i'm trying to work away from my original outline or answer a question i like your idea of pausing at these times when i gather my thoughts i will try i will try to apply this soon one of spoons says professional demeanour thanks prepared for preparing the context for me to shout from the audience array moon bouncing you're good mike ray comments back thanks very much to everybody i listen back to this when i was when it was published i hope the Christmas up and his title his message got truncated he was here we say all you bit Mary from from celebrating christmas so um he i think he's probably commenting of that oh yeah he says that in the next comment but let me read the contents of this one a couple of verbal ticks but not too many humour is best left out of tech talks unless you can poke gentle fun at yourself i was told several times by a writing coach to make my mind up but though i was writing something serious or something funny because the injection of a joke can pull the audience out of deep thought about what you're saying or writing which might be totally inappropriate i particularly like the three part rule thanks late and great Peter hotboard one of the at once of the LSE for that some forty years ago i think he mentions this in the in the talk itself in the church of then he comments again say that he messed up the last comment because of the the title truncation he says i messed up but it was meant to say i hope the christmas beard didn't make me break my own rules i don't think it did so yeah it was great show yeah my kiss is a it's a very knowledgeable person and i would like to hear his shows good to hear back on HBO then we went into an emergency show which was originally posted in 2014 it's called chomp car report and it's from David Whitman who we haven't heard from for a very long time and it's about racing series for five hundred dollar cars so he's talking about this sort of amateur cheap car racing thing the it doesn't seem to be as popular now as it was because i couldn't find any any links to chomp car stuff and the the links in the original show don't don't go anywhere i'd managed to resurrect them all i think by going to the way back machine so that was good but yeah it's it's an interesting thing so shame that these things are really popular and then vanish but that's the nature of the world and i'll be into it i guess so no comments on that one the next one was another emergency show from 2014 and it's how to make a punched card computer and it's from stuff make it from stopping the kitchen and it's from migrae and remember him sending this one in back then and i've never never listened to it before i found it fascinating my kids would have loved this when they were younger a bit old for that type of thing now but the idea of making it a serial box into a cardboard computer effectively where you can control which cards come out by pulling skewers out of it and stuff it's good the next we have other show from bookworm and it's called a Linux distra review and he's talking about zero Linux spelt with the next and it's a Linux version distribution which you can run on an older Intel based Mac and it's certainly really quite nice I didn't realize it's possible it had ever been possible to do that it sent in quite a lot of information and some pictures which we've good to see great believer in having pictures with shows if you can and yeah great show very interesting not thing i'll ever use personally but hopefully somebody will get some benefit from it and Brian and Ohio sends in a comment how to do it this is how you do a distra review a great episode that's a really nice comment next we have a show from cordia miranda which is running high coup on now i didn't know how to say this until i listened to him pronounced it many times b h y v e which is pronounced b h the b s d hypervisor which is quite knee actually i quite like that totally it talks about installing and running high coup r1 slash b to four on b h h. so this is as you say the b s d hypervisor for virtual machines and he's testing out high coup which is the b os i've looked at this i've never tried never run it but it was quite seen as quite a desirable thing a number of years ago remember being in all magazines b os was something that looked really really nice and judging by what Toby was talking about it it's it is so it is so it is so yeah i'm too busy doing other things to go go looking at these things it's great to have somebody else too for me so thank you Claudia no comments on that one then we have Zenfloater 2 that show entitled a squirrel being on google products and google security i made a quote being podcast about google products interoperability in their lousy security so he's some talking about google chrome books and android and some of the the the less desirable aspects of the way that these things are being organised and secured and whatever there are two comments one from Brian in Ohio who says two f a i was forced to set up two f a that's two factor authentication in order to use mut with my gmail account funny thing is when you log into gmail on a web browser on your phone use the gmail app google politely asked if you want to remember this to buy so you won't have to do f a anymore not only that the check box comes up pre populated with the check what good is to f a if you can buy a pass it with the check mug why make me do it in the first place and why populate the check box i'm moving to fast mail so yeah i think that's pretty pretty supportive of Zenfloater 2's view the next comment is from Johnny Lawrence which says woefully misinformed i'm a huge fan of aspera and everything it stands for that includes freedom of speech i also understand that episode should be viewed in an editorial context however i can't help but feel episodes like this dragged down the quality of the podcast as a whole the squirrel is just called man yelling at cloud and he sites what are you talking about no your mean old man yells at cloud i'm not at google apologies and i consider them pretty evil as a whole but so many of the things mentioned but just flat incorrect google doesn't control any cell phone networks they don't have any of their own towers claiming that the google is throttling your connection because youtube is fast and transferers from your home server a slow it's pretty big leap youtube content is served from a massive cdn which has peering agreements with i s p's all over the world that content is going to be served blazing fast from us anyway transfers over an SSH connection from a little desktop on a residential connection to a Chromebook tethered to a cell phone will never be comparable 3.3 to a fa has little to do with vendor locking and everything to do with security i don't own any android devices my iphone and ipad can both be used as the second factor for google to a fa without issue before google has nothing to do with qr codes at all i could go on but i think you get the point i don't want to see fact check banners on episodes and i don't want to see post a sensor that in mind we have to do better as a community better episodes and higher quality content but all more listeners and thus more contributors let's up the bar and keep hbr live and there's a link to the old manuals at cloud meme next is from tray and uh it's in title just because you can do a thing dot dot dot dot this is what you can do with things does that mean you should he summarises hello hack a public radio app and this is tray and i'm throwing this recording together for several reasons and he's very kindly given us a show when we were running very low and uh he's also saying why he hasn't been posting as much but he the essence of it is that he he did did shows on installing pex piping around his house but he's suffering from it with shoulder pains and and that type of thing so he got rotate a cup of dishes and yeah yeah so that's that's great that's pretty great but nice to hear from him hope it soon soon gets better there are no comments on this one so where are we 3780 this is a hooker with Fediverse update may 2022 his episode reports on some updates the Fediverse that I ran across in May 2022 so hooker makes it and posts send in him and we post shows quite a long time in advance and so here we we know that we've got shows out into the future which is great but tend to be to be still getting a teeny bit out of date I guess but but I thought it was a great overview of the state of the Fediverse and uh and an explanation of what and why it exists and uh in general excellent so the fact is talking about May is of no relevant really so yeah excellent everything that uh hooker tasks I really enjoy so it's always good to see one of his shows coming up now the next one next show is from Andrew Conway the second show this month it's entitled The Jewel thief where Jewel is J or ULE which is the energy measurement so the way we're saying it yeah it's a pun jewel thief as in stealer of diamonds or whatever so we talked about using the jewel thief to suck energy out of flat batteries and um he's describing a sort of old circuit I don't know whether the circuit's old or not actually seems very simple but quite hard to understand what it can do is it can use the residue the capacity of of what is tool intensive purposes of flat battery so an AA or AAA or something and uh the reason it's flat is because the voltage that it's producing is now lower than the M thing you're using it in needs most cases think that's right so um yeah this thing uses a mechanism which involves rapid switching and it can generate enough power enough voltage to light an LED and um and actually keep a string of LEDs running for for a while and it comes from name comes from big Clive Clive Mitchell who's a youtuber very very prolific I've mentioned him before and Andrew makes a connection to link to his video about this but it's an idea that that predates this video I quite some number of years definitely going to have a try building this myself I don't understand it but then I don't understand the electronics I don't know if there are people who do understand it better than the night here and who are up for doing shows about how I don't understand it a fascinating show and the links were good as well and led me to finding it more about it there is a comment which is from one of Spoon's candle pi he says the title I assume that these are more complicated boost modules I haven't realized they were so simple I've definitely got a bunch of those components thanks the components were a ferrite core or torus with two sets of wirings on an NPM transistor and a resistor I forget what the rating was but you'll easily find it if you go looking and um you make a circuit which is done some weird wonderful things and and it's capable of being used using old batteries great effect which I think it's amazing so the last show for January is through seven eight two content format article from Wikipedia Wikipedia article on the various types of content formats and this is submitted by archa 72 and it's some reading of Wikipedia article which it certainly is a slightly older article because it's sort of a generic thing about content format so it's everything from music to maps is what I've written down here and much more but it was again most interesting I am a great fan of Wikipedia so I'm always up for anybody to read right me pages it is nice and I read them a lot myself of course so yeah this is this is a great idea for a show I hope and yeah thank you very much so as we go through the the shows we read the comments associated with them and then we we'll to get comments which relate to shows from previous month so we then read those for that particular month on that particular month I should say so that there are eight comments which fit into that category on past shows relating to six previous shows so the first one is from Charles in NJ who sent in a show in 2013 called Doom's Day rule and he's commenting on his own on show Doom's Day Python code he says the code in the posted module still works in Python three until you come to the print statements in the main procedure those have to be changed print function calls one more quibmar Isaac Newton was born before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar so that example is not correct other than that the episode has stood up fairly well over time I can even stand to listen to it at one point six times speed so there you go that's that's quality stuff you come back years later and comment on your own show and suggest check yes updates whatever next show the next comment I should say is the on the show using noise torch by Delta Ray and it's from Ken Fallon says wow this actually works I don't saw this after noting noticing that conference calls were picking everything even when I was in the next room thanks Delta Ray for posting this one plus one from me so the the noise torch thing was to remove a lot of noise from from calls from recordings on your phone so pretty good pretty good not try it myself but I will do next one was comment on one of my shows which was entitled some thoughts on numerous names that's that thing where you write the long word down as the initial letter and the fun letter with the number of intermediate letters as a number so a 11y was the one that came to light meaning accessibility the nt's comment is pure obscurantism which is probably a numerous and it's not could be great PC says in my view numerous are pure obscurantism what is more atrocious is when people say it out loud I've been a call work where someone kept saying I 18n and L10n which is ludicrous I commented back to that thanks to nt I haven't heard many people say these things spelled out the way you describe but I may have been guilty of myself for I knew what they were just took the go away I don't like numerous names very much as a subcomponent of English great it's a short hand or something but the next comment was on then flow to two's show back in December God probably will use a Chromebook as called dnt says trippy as hell good show it reminds me of the day I only took a THC gummy probably my main takeaways that one can only hope to inspire a rebuttal show my Zen flow to two you haven't yet do read the short story the machine stops by EM Foster forster I've heard about it in Stuart Russell's 2021 rethlectures on BBC Radio which I also recommend and I read that comment actually this is me breaking in to say I've never read that book the machine stops you can get it off parkout.org and e-pub and I put it on my phone and I'm read it it's a strange but fascinating story but considering it's age so yeah we'd recommend reading it too so the next comment was on the show first admin job by Norrist war story I should say first admin job war story by Norrist and it's from Windergo who says what are who done it I really enjoyed this episode although as a dev currently dealing with some creative PHP code and hit a little too close to home thanks for the mysterious tale another comment on the same show from Brian in Ohio says love the show I never watch an IT but I love stories like this great work then last one in this category is show and chatting with DNT by some guy on the internet and one of Spooners is commenting saying risk five emulators mostly I wanted to mention risk five emulators QEMU can emulate but 32 bit and 64 bit risk five CPUs we have QEMU system risk the 64 is available to simulate a 64 bit risk five machine or QEMU system risk the 32 executable to simulate 32 bit one sci-fi but still are planning to release a development hardware board there's some recording some page on the internet the high five pro p550 we now tend to go to the mailing list and read out messages there there's not a lot there's one from Ken where he mentions out just really quickly turns out we're going to be at the community advocacy section in prime position in the main exhibition area of the K building level one at fozden it's by far the most popular area as it is enters to the organization team office and the cloakroom and also one of the big lecture theatre should interject another from experience it gets absolutely nuts busy there during the event and it's nonstop for the entire weekend so if you are an HPR contributor or a free cognitive podcast going to fozden then please help us out at the stand and you also reach out to other podcasts to see if they could clarify their license to release it under creative comments as the exposure in the flost tech community is massive from this event if anyone has stickers that they want us to hand out please send them to me this week the other message on the list is merely to announce this recording which nobody can join because mumble is not being very friendly I tried to to mute Ken's channel but you can't do that unless you have more privileges than I have anyway it doesn't matter yeah I hope it's going well at the FCP table Ken and I've been putting together a list or for a freshing list of free cognitive podcasts which I've been keeping in a database and generating various reports that are being turned into handouts and into a website of the past month really and so hopefully there won't be comprehensive lists but it will be pretty pretty good and it's surprising that a number of people who it's very hard to determine whether their podcast is a creative comment on it or not any of them put in the copyright field of the feed that it's copyright over then whatever the name is or name of the podcast if you look on the website it will sometimes say everything we produce is creative comments but it would be great if it was in the feed any other business there are two things in the list and the first one is the showed transcript which I've really covered to a large extent we're using whisper there's a link to whisper if you want to go and look at it yourself Ken's been doing this project he's got a powerful machine which is able to do the transcription generation which I don't have and he's he's done all of the old shows and we we've added this to the workflow it's not quite finished they need a little bit more work to get the transcripts up on to archon.org automatically but it's doing good so that's great go and have a look see what you think the other thing was I've been talking about the re-uploads of shows for the past year probably at a long it's been going on for I've not been doing too many at a time because they've really a heavy load on the xbr machine the machine I'm running the uploads from and also on archon.org so I've just been doing like five or ten at a per day so take too long as the consequence but it's no finished I think I but intimated in the last show it was very close to the end of it is now finished so it's we now should have all files on archon.org that is all audio files every show any assets like pictures and stuff will be there so if hbr was not available for a while you could get all the bits of it kicking a show off archon or that was the point of the exercise so yeah that's all done so I'm going to go back on mumble not going to record anything but see how it's safe can's available and he's added amazingly busy from listening in earlier on I hope they are doing good
