Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Pope

I chat with Alan Pope about the open source security tools Syft, Grype, and Grant. These tools help create Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and scan for vulnerabilities. Learn why generating and storing SBOMs is crucial for understanding your software supply chain and quickly responding to new threats like Log4Shell.

It has been difficult to process more than five a day, and there have been a few breaks along the way! The current state of the project is that it has been completed: +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+ | date | repairable | repair_count | unrepaired_count | +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+ | 2024-10-03 | 352 | 352 | 0 | +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+ All of the processed shows have access to their transcripts, which are held on archive.org. However, there remains the need to make transcripts available to the older shows which have no external files.

We do our best to predict what will happen in 2022, and own up to what we thought might happen in 2021. Special Guests: Alan Pope, Drew DeVore, and Joe Ressington.

In this week's show, Phil talks to Alan Pope, an Engineering Manager and Developer Advocate for InfluxData, the creator of InfluxDB which is an open-source time series database. He is also a podcaster and he describes himself as a through and through geek. Alan talks about why it's okay to move on when the time is right in your career journey. He also discusses why it's important to take people's advice with a pinch of salt.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   TOP CAREER TIP It's okay to move on in your career when the time is right. Never feel as though you are chained to a position for your entire career. Being comfortable is often not a place where we challenge and grow.   WORST CAREER MOMENT When transitioning to a new company, Alan was confronted by HR who advised him that if he left, it would damage his career journey. It was a time of anxiety, but their threats came to nothing.   CAREER HIGHLIGHT Alan trained many aspiring IT professionals, so when it came to looking for a position of his own, his reputation was already secured. Putting yourself out there is incredibly valuable to your career path.   THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T The IT world is enormous and offers countless possibilities. It is incredibly easy to pivot and move between pursuits and sectors and offers an endlessly interesting path for any aspiring IT professional.   THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Alan was a nerd, and after receiving a ZX81, Alan developed a love for coding. What's the best career advice you received? – You always have a choice What's the worst career advice you received? – What would you do if you started your career now? – Alan would like to have attended university so as to establish a better foundation for his career. What are your current career objectives? – Learning new things. Alan is intent on staying far from his comfort zone and constantly challenging himself. What's your number one non-technical skill? – Having empathy for other people's points of view and perspectives. How do you keep your own career energized? – Alan keeps moving once the challenge has faded. It's vital to find the things that bring you joy. What do you do away from technology? – Cooking, which allows him the time to reconnect with the things that matter.   FINAL CAREER TIP Take other people's advice with a pinch of salt. Everyone has their own story and path through life, and the lessons they've learned may not always apply to your own path.   BEST MOMENTS  (3:26) – Alan - “People need to not be afraid to leave a role” (7:41) – Alan - “It's about looking after yourself and your own career” (8:57) – Alan – “Getting yourself out there and becoming known in your target industry is a very valuable thing to do” (13:15) – Alan – “Nobody cares what you look like. It's the output. It's the product you create, and it's the work that you do that's the important thing”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS  Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organizations to design, develop, and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T. Career Energizer podcast to try to help as many people as possible to learn from the career advice and experiences of those that have been, and still are, on that same career journey.   CONTACT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil can be contacted through the following Social Media platforms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/_PhilBurgess LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/philburgess Instagram: https://instagram.com/_philburgess Website: https://itcareerenergizer.com/contact Phil is also reachable by email at phil@itcareerenergizer.com and via the podcast's website, https://itcareerenergizer.com Join the I.T.

The details that make a great distro, things that make us wince, smug people online, great photos, imposter syndrome, and more. 00:00:27 Do you ever get imposter syndrome? 00:08:16 What's your unusual "fingernails on chalkboard" equivalent? 00:12:26 What gives a Linux distro that feeling of polish? 00:23:16 What's your favorite photograph? 00:28:12 How do you feel when someone chimes in online with "well, actually…"?

Destination Linux (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/destination-linux/) talked about the open source document viewer KOReader (http://koreader.rocks/) which peaked Nate's interest and leads to a discussion on e-readers. Ask Noah brings up the recent news of an AMD vulnerability discovered as part of a study funded by Intel and also the excellent Opensource.Builders (https://opensource.builders) website which showcases open source alternatives to common proprietary software. Jason Evangelho of Linux for Everyone (https://destinationlinux.network/shows/linux-for-everyone/) recently interviewed Alan Pope (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlanPope) of Canonical and asked some interesting questions. We break down a few of the more interesting aspects of their conversation. On the DasGeek (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIme1suHyN7cAGrTy8RBdhQ) YouTube channel, Ryan covered using the El Gato Streamdeck Mini (https://youtu.be/6M0hfmbLfmM) with Linux which led Eric to wonder if there was a way to use a general-purpose tablet to do the same thing rather than buying dedicated hardware. Turns out, there is a very easy way to accomplish this with obs-websocket (https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket) and OBS Tablet Remote (http://t2t2.github.io/obs-tablet-remote/). Thanks to Venn Stone of LinuxGameCast (https://linuxgamecast.com/) for the tutorial (https://linuxgamecast.com/2018/11/quick-dirty-remote-control-obs-studio/). That's all for this week. Be sure to stop by DLN's Discourse (https://discourse.destinationlinux.network/), Telegram (https://destinationlinux.org/telegram), Mumble (https://destinationlinux.network/mumble/) and Discord (https://destinationlinux.org/discord) servers to continue the discussion.

Apps that make us feel old, emotional songs, using actual paper, evolution of language, IRC channels we never look at, and more. 00:00:35 Do any songs trigger you to cry? 00:05:40 How many communication channels is it possible to keep up with? 00:11:25 Do you own a 2d printer? What was the last thing you printed out? 00:17:22 In an ever-shrinking world, should we drop tradition and use the easiest and most logical spellings and pronunciations? 00:25:52 Which hugely popular apps or websites do you just not get?
