Hello, this is your host, Archer72 for another episode of Hacker Public Radio In this episode, I talk about how I use Newsboat and Podboat for a couple of tasks.

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.

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." "Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions in regards to these videos..." "HDR is an incredible technology that allows us to see better contrast and colors on our screens." "That way we can achieve a much more dynamic range of colors while playing games and watching media on our TVs, computer monitors, phones, etc." "It will be a bit different between calibrating a normal monitor with SDR to a HDR-enabled display." "So if the blacks are too bright then you won't really see the black levels as well." "The idea is that your brightest whites should be at 100% and your darkest blacks should be around 0%." "With this being said, I've never had a lot of luck with using my Windows HDR settings before." "A lot of people say don't buy a curved monitor for production stuff." "And now I have like basically three monitors." RECOMMENDATIONS Calibrate your monitor's HDR settings to enhance color and contrast. Adjust brightness, gamma, whites, and blacks for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions. Utilize Windows snapping features for efficient window management on multi-monitor setups. Consider transitioning to a single curved monitor for improved productivity and workspace real estate. Familiarize yourself with the tabbing system to ensure input is directed to the correct window. Experiment with panel sizes in your multi-monitor setup to find a configuration that suits your workflow. Ensure proper calibration of both SDR and HDR displays to achieve the best visual experience. Adjust black levels so they are not too bright, maintaining clear visibility of darker scenes. Set whites to 100% for better representation of bright areas in images and videos. Explore different monitor configurations to determine what enhances your productivity the most.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. 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.

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://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg The last command returns the first line, so therefore https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg Finally that line is used as the input to the wget command. Problems with the approach Relying on grep with structured data like xml or json can lead to problems. When we looked at the output of the command in step 2, some of the results gave https://ogg . When run the same command without the --only-matching argument we see what was matched. $ grep 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml This episode may not be live as in TuxJam 115 from Oggcamp but your friendly foursome of Al, Dave (thelovebug), Kevie and Andrew (mcnalu) are very much alive to treats of Free and Open Source Software and Creative Commons tunes. https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/ https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respond https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/feed/ With the group meeting up together for the first time in person, it was decided that a live recording would be an appropriate venture. With the quartet squashed around a table and a group of adoring fans crowded into a room at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester, the discussion turns to TuxJam reviews that become regularly used applications, what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 and for the third section the gang put their reputation on the line and allow open questions from the sea of dedicated fans. OggCamp 2024 on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October 2024, Manchester UK. Two of the hits are not enclosures at all, they are references in the text to OggCamp what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 Normally running grep will only get one entry per line, and if the xml is minimised it can miss entries on a file that comes across as one big line. I did this myself using xmllint --noblanks tuxjam.xml > tuxjam-min.xml I then edited it and replaced the new lines with spaces. I have to say that the --only-matching argument is doing a great job at pulling out the matches. That said the results were not perfect either. $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam-min.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/?p=1029https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respondhttps://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg You could fix it by modifying the grep arguments and add additional searches looking for enclosure . The problem with that approach is that you'll forever and a day be chasing issues when someone changes something. So the approach is officially "Grand", but it's a very likely to break if you're not babysitting it. Suggested Applications. I recommend never parsing structured documents , like xml or json with grep. You should use dedicated parsers that understands the document markup, and can intelligently address parts of it. I recommend: xml use xmlstarlet json use jq yaml use yq Of course anyone that looks at my code on the hpr gittea will know this is a case of "do what I say, not what I do." Never parse xml with grep, where the only possible exception is to see if a string is in a file in the first place. grep --max-count=1 --files-with-matches That's justified under the fact that grep is going to be faster than having to parse, and build a XML Document Object Model when you don't have to. Some Tips Always refer to examples and specification A specification is just a set of rules that tell you how the document is formatted. There is a danger in just looking at example files, and not reading the specifications. I had a situation once where a software developer raised a bug as the files didn't begin with ken-test- followed by a uuid . They were surprised when the supplied files did not follow this convention as per the examples. Suffice to say that was rejected. For us there are the rules from the RSS specification itself, but as it's a XML file there are XML Specifications . While the RSS spec is short, the XML is not, so people tend to use dedicated libraries to parse XML. Using a dedicated tool like xmlstarlet will allow us to mostly ignore the details of XML. RSS is a dialect of XML . All RSS files must conform to the XML 1.0 specification, as published on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website. The first line of the tuxjam feed shows it's an XML file. The specification goes on to say "At the top level, a RSS document is a element, with a mandatory attribute called version, that specifies the version of RSS that the document conforms to. If it conforms to this specification, the version attribute must be 2.0." And sure enough then the second line show that it's a RSS file.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 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.

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) Provide feedback on this episode.

From the hum of a Cessna engine to the grace of a Bonanza slicing through the clouds, it's a journey through the skies filled with stories of daring, faith, and the wonder of flight. Topics Covered: Light Aircraft Overview General insight into what qualifies as light aircraft and why they're beloved by private pilots and hobbyists. Light aircraft – Wikipedia Flying in a Cessna Memories of flying in various models of the iconic Cessna—dependable, nimble, and a staple of personal aviation. Cessna – Wikipedia Bonanza Adventures Experiences flying in the Beechcraft Bonanza, known for its sleek design and comfort—especially memorable during cross-country flights. Beechcraft Bonanza – Wikipedia Missionary Aviation Stories Recollections of missionary pilots and their vital roles in reaching remote areas, often relying on small aircraft to deliver aid, supplies, and hope.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 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. Provide feedback on this episode.

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 PdB = 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 100MHz - choose the right feeder coax for your target frequency!). If you have 15 metres, then you will have 3 dB feeder loss, so half of your transmitter power will be lost in the feed line. If you know this and your transmitter can output more, then you can increase the transmitter power accordingly. So for 25W at the transmitter, with 3dB loss in the feeder, you can set the output to 50W. Some transmit power limits are set in ERP or EIRP, so you will need to calculate back from the antenna to see the maximum allowable transmitter power, to stay within the rules. 6.0 Combining values One result of the use of dB is that you can add the values together to understand the whole system gain. So, with our example above, if we have 11.77 dB of output power, then -1 dB insertion loss for a bandpass filter, -3 dB loss for the feeder, and 5dB gain on the antenna, the overall ERP is 12.77 dB. You can convert this back to Watts, to get 18.92W ERP. 7.0 Links Dipole information Yagi-Uda information Wikipedia information on Decibels Wikipedia information on ERP and EIRP Wikipedia information on Antenna Gain ERP & EIRP calculator from M0UKD Provide feedback on this episode.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 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?

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 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, keep a copy of your GPG keyring on a secure device. Should you lose this key, you lose access to your password store. Initialize a password store Next, you must initialize a password store on your system. When you do, you create a hidden directory where your passwords are stored, and you define which GPG key to use to encrypt passwords. To initialize a password store, use the pass init command along with your unique GPG key ID. Using my example key: $ pass init "Tux (My first key) " You can define more than one GPG key to use with your password store, should you intend to share passwords with another user or on another system using a different GPG key. Add and edit passwords To add a password to your password store, use the pass insert command followed by the URL (or any string) you want pass to keep. $ pass insert example.org Enter the password at the prompt, and then again to confirm. Most websites require more than just a password, and so pass can manage additional data, like username, email, and any other field. To add extra data to a password file, use pass edit followed by the URL or string you saved the password as: $ pass edit example.org The first line of a password file must be the password itself. After that first line, however, you can add any additional data you want, in the format of the field name followed by a colon and then the value. For example, to save tux as the value of the username field on a website: myFakePassword123 username: tux Some websites use an email address instead of a username: myFakePassword123 email: tux@example.com A password file can contain any data you want, so you can also add important notes or one-time recovery codes, and anything else you might find useful: myFake;_;Password123 email: tux@example.com recovery email: tux@example.org recovery code: 03a5-1992-ee12-238c note: This is your personal account, use company SSO at work List passwords To see all passwords in your password store: $ pass list Password Store ├── example.com ├── example.org You can also search your password store: $ pass find bandcamp Search Terms: bandcamp └── www.bandcamp.com Integrating your password store Your password store is perfectly usable from a terminal, but that's not the only way to use it. Using extensions, you can use pass as your web browser's password manager. There are several different applications that provide a bridge between pass and your browser. Most are listed in the CompatibleClients section of passwordstore.org. I use PassFF, which provides a Firefox extension. For browsers based on Chromium, you can use Browserpass with the Browserpass extension. In both cases, the browser extension requires a "host application", or a background bridge service to allow your browser to access the encrypted data in your password store. For PassFF, download the install script: $ wget https://codeberg.org/PassFF/passff-host/releases/download/latest/install_host_app.sh Review the script to confirm that it's just installing the host application, and then run it: $ bash ./install_host_app.sh firefox Python 3 executable located at /usr/bin/python3 Pass executable located at /usr/bin/pass Installing Firefox host config Native messaging host for Firefox has been installed to /home/tux/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts. Install the browser extension, and then restart your browser. When you navigate to a URL with an file in your password store, a pass icon appears in the relevant fields. Click the icon to complete the form. Alternately, a pass icon appears in your browser's extension tray, providing a menu for direct interaction with many pass functions (such as copying data directly to your system clipboard, or auto-filling only a specific field, and so on.) Password management like UNIX The pass command is extensible, and there are some great add-ons for it. Here are some of my favourites: pass-otp: Add one-time password (OTP) functionality. pass-update: Add an easy workflow for updating passwords that you frequently change. pass-import: Import passwords from chrome, 1password, bitwarden, apple-keychain, gnome-keyring, keepass, lastpass, and many more (including pass itself, in the event you want to migrate a password store). The pass command and the password store system is a comfortably UNIX-like password management solution. It stores your passwords as text files in a format that doesn't even require you to have pass installed for access. As long as you have your GPG key, you can access and use the data in your password store. You own your data not only in the sense that it's local, but you have ownership of how you interact with it. You can sync your password stores between different machines using rsync or syncthing, or even backup the store to cloud storage. It's encrypted, and only you have the key.Provide feedback on this episode.
