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

In this episode of "Risk! Engineers Talk Governance," due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis discuss Insurance Criteria and its history and modern relevance, particularly focusing on the Highly Protected Risk (HPR) engineering process.Richard shares his experience training with Factory Mutual in the US and explains how the HPR approach originated in the 1840s with Zacharia Allen, a cotton mill owner who re-engineered his facility to minimise fire risks. When his insurance company refused to offer discounts for these improvements, Allen created a mutual pool with other safety-conscious factory owners, establishing an engineering-based approach to insurance rather than a purely financial one.The conversation explores key concepts like Normal Loss Expectancy versus Maximum Foreseeable Loss, highlights common design flaws in Australian Standards, and emphasises that engineers must think beyond merely following standards to truly understand what they're trying to protect. The episode concludes with takeaways about designing for specific needs rather than blindly applying Standards.This conversation follows the R2A text Engineer Due Diligence (Concepts, Applications, Tools & Techniques) that can be purchased online at https://www.r2a.com.au/store/p/r2a-engineering-due-diligence-textbook. For further information on Richard and Gaye's consulting work with R2A, head to https://www.r2a.com.au. Gaye is also founder of women's safety workwear company Apto PPE if you'd like to check out the garments at https://www.aptoppe.com.au

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In this episode Kevie talks about the basic steps of recording an HPR episode. The first step is to plan the episode. What will it be about and also consider the purpose of the show: is it to introduce a topic, give information, entertain, be a tutorial or instructional, an informal yarn. Write down the points that you want to cover and any links that you are going to reference. This will help you when it comes to recording and also it can act as your show notes. For early stage simple and effective recording use your mobile phone. I recommend Audio Recorder as it allows you to record in WAV, you can change the sample rate and it doesn't include adverts or any features that are paid for only. For recording on a Linux desktop I would recommend using something simple like Reco . If you want to record a show with somebody else then you will need to use a PC as Google banned applications that have the ability to record calls. To do this with Reco you simply click on the Record from button and you are given the choice of microphone, system audio or both. Set this to both and whichever way you chat Reco will record the conversation. Once you have recorded your file then simply head to the HPR website: Click upload (top left) Pick an available slot Complete the show notes Upload the file Click submit That's it, we look forward to hearing your first show.Provide feedback on this episode.

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. shares insights with attorneys for witness prep prior to their witness's deposition testimony. Bill emphasizes that the most important thing for witnesses is to fail during preparation in order to learn and grow so they are prepared for their deposition. This approach can be a challenge for attorneys as you don't want your witness to get mad at you or you may have concerns about hurting their confidence during the prep. It is critical for the witness to understand that their failure during preparation has value and is actually necessary in order for them to be successful during testimony. As you start your mock questioning and you observe them failing, stop and give them feedback to build awareness of their performance. How you give them feedback is very important. You have to use operant conditioning and provide both constructive and positive feedback in order to punish poor performance -  to eliminate it - and reward good behavior - to increase it. The use of these psychological principles will help you fully prepare your witness by allowing them to fail during prep and providing them with the appropriate feedback so they are ready for the real thing.  Watch the video of this episode: https://www.courtroomsciences.com/r/hPR

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. My setup for recording this podcast about podcasting. I never was attached to history (I'm a shame with events, names, dates ), much less of history fictionalized, like historical romances. But I ended up working on a piece of it. The event passes between 1931 and 1945. It relates to WWII — it's part of it. So , I talk about producing an specific audiod rama, covering two points, that are at really three: WHAT is the story: the chaos that came to me asking to come out; and WHY I decided to present it (and HOW:) by a podcast of fiction with history. In the end , I summarize that I got touched by the subject, it impacted me with disastrous images both in words and images. And I like audio, well-made audio content. In synthesis, the real story touched me and urged the crave of creating something from it, resulting in an audio drama. A minute of it translated on the end. Full Shownotes Why I made a 1-episode podcast about a war story by Sem Luz em Saint Louis A little citizen (that came from) outside the country, inside a prison. Not a common prison, though: it is Unit 731…' “What is Unit 731? What are you bringing to Hacker Public Radio?” The impulse and reason for creating an audiodrama, dear listener. I will tell you What and Why: - WHAT is the story: the chaos that came to me asking to come out; and - WHY I decided to present it by a podcast of fiction with history [WHAT] First, the WHAT. In the wanderings of the World Wide Web, a notable event was revealed before my eyes, a war scene that was under dust for decades, but people, even participants of it in varied degrees, came to reveal the fact; so, today, we know it. China and Japan engaged in war by the year 1931. More exactly, that is when Japan started colonizing China by the provinces of Manchuria, northeastern of the country. The resistence started in 1937, with reaction by the Chinese troops. Japan was so much more powerful, though (and that's why China took so long to decide fighting the Imperial Army of Japan). It took time, and without the best outcome, but it demanded courage, it showed force, and humanity, moral value. And this conflict is part of the second World War, that by one side had Japan, Italy and Germany (the German Reich), heading the Axis powers; who were fought against by the Allied powers, headed by the Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, United States and China. Even with basically all the rest of the world against the Axis, the Japanese occupied the 3 provinces of Manchuria from 1932 until the end of the war, in September 2, 1945, making of it the main territorial base for development of weapons. The Encyclopedia Britannica explains us the following, quote: On March 9, 1932, the Japanese created the puppet state of Manchukuo […] out of the three historical Manchurian provinces. The last Qing (Manchu) emperor, Puyi, was brought to Manchuria from his retirement in Tianjin and made “chief executive,” and later emperor, of the new state. The Manchukuo government, though nominally in Chinese hands, was in fact rigidly controlled and supervised by the Japanese, who proceeded to transform Manchuria into an industrial and military base for Japan's expansion into Asia. The Japanese took over the direction, financing, and development of all the important Manchurian industries, with the fortunate result that by the end of World War II Manchuria was the most industrialized region in China. [Source: BRITANNICA. Manchuria. Last updated in January 31, 2025. Link: . Acess in February 2025.] Unquote. Now, very briefly, we come to the Unit 731. It was a big Japanese construction first officially designated as a “Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department”. It was commanded by the tenant-general of the Army and microbiologist Shirō Ishii. I wanted until now to say what is the theme before hopping to the motivation to do something about the knowledge. Let's get to the WHY: I came to know of the theme by chance, navigating the web and suddenly coming to a strange photo of human experiencing, the description of Unit 731. I searched more about it and was simply astonished to know it happened, and inflicted by the so-estimated Japan, a headquarter of technology and populated by reverent people. We are (that is, I am) often so biased, for the good or the bad. That is, what the general public know about World War II, including me? The holocaust of the Jews. This is much, but more happened, and more can be known for our critical view of the World, the countries and its interests, and the rational thinking that might be better with this knowledge. The Unit 731 was not the only one with deadly human experimentation, other facilities existed, but 731 came to be better known; first, it was hidden, but now, decades after the events, documents and confessions came to the ground and can't be denied anymore. And in other sites, Shirō Ishii was already inflicting them probably since the fall of 1933, mainly Chinese people, but also Soviets, Mongolians and Koreans, men, women and children. That's basically it. The research I made (and the movie I saw, a fiction, based on it, horrendous) led me to dream about the theme, so I felt to throw it, what was developed and developing inside, in some manner. I like the voice, the radio, and it is accessible to do, not requiring many equipments etc., so my first choice was to tell it. How? At first, I hypothetized about proposing a script to some Brazilian podcast that tell stories. Soon I realized it could not fit so well in the lines of the ones I know. Some days after, the idea of a little fictionalized story, short story, came as a thing I like, and also with the advantages of: 1. being beautiful (men is made of stories, real or otherwise appropriated by the mind and senses); 2. being impactful (connection with characters); 3. being fast in the way I proposed it to be (one little episode). Not necessarily only this or in this order, but the idea was that. One thing more, of course: as any interested in the subject can note, there is so many technical things produced about it, I wanted to do something that caught the emotions and interest of people, spreading the possibility of them knowing what, elsewhere, they wouldn't come to see. I wanted to make it different in that sense, but as true to the facts as a little audio fiction can be. It's History to our minds, for our own construction and of our world view. But, if not, if the listener just come for the art, it can be (I hope) an enjoying story after all. That was the WHY I decided to do something with the knowledge (in an expression, fire in my heart), and HOW it became a fiction podcast (to do something I like, and different about the subject, attractive). That was my theme here for our moment in HPR! The motivation behind need to create. It was hard, I get moved easily with shocking scenes in words or images, but It catched me. Deciding how to “let go” and then producing it was not tranquil, also; the hands-on, the technical part, was as follows: I have written some pages summarizing the events I have outlined here. Having the base, I came with a story in my mind and in two days or three I think I wrote it, in 3 and a half pages, the story that you're going to listen. In a more silent night I went to my room, with my notebook and a USB condenser microphone, and recorded. Fast. The editing, cutting, compressing, normalizing, and choosing free sounds (all referenced in description) and fitting them in the story, took a long and time and patience, maybe 10 or more dedicated hours along days. I'm not very efficient, some of it was the necessary lack of hurry of art, but some was my slowness in getting to the technical part of what I wanted to do (this bit of information in this milisecond, move track 3 together with track 4 without affecting the sync of the other tracks and clips in the same track, cut the music at this point but with a gentle fade…). I used Audacity. I had a Reaper licence (I remember being a bit more efficient with it) but lost it after formatting without having the serial number anymore, so I went with my long-choice of the free and open source alternative. That was my work for the audiodrama podcast in my language. Which, in between the days I have been preparing this presentation script for HPR, I have released. You may find it in the description, or searching in your podcast app for the name (in Portuguese): “O Departamento de Prevenção de Epidemias e Distribuição de Água”, under the author name “Sem Luz em Saint Louis”. I don't know if it will be released in English. However, I made a first minute of it, here and now, so you can enjoy having mind of what I was talking about. Thank you, be with 1 minute of the report of the survivor… * and Bye! [1 MINUTE OF THE AUDIODRAMA – EXCERPT ONLY] The Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department This account was found in the records of Parkinson Tribly (or Tribly), of Russian and Polish origins. He was recruited by Dr. Shirō Ishii for experiments at Unit 731: a legitimate opportunity to stay alive — which ultimately proved false for reasons he did not expect. What we will hear now is his writing, unedited. Except that, for organization, we will name the three parts that he composed as follows: 1. Introduction; 2. Activities; 3. The Bargain. The author reflects and advances in his organization, but what he brings is: INTRODUCTION Thank God we know that, from the beginning, man has lived in war. It's envy, a desire for power, a desire for money. It is never a good motivation, but purely selfishness. I arrived at the department a week ago and, although I have no desire to collaborate with what happens here, I know enough to realize that it is impossible to leave this place free. When the Japanese invaded this region, Manchuria, in the long war against China, we did not expect the brutality that was witnessed. A few years ago, after the end of the Great War, several countries signed the Geneva Protocol. Although it only prohibits the use of chemical weapons, biological agents, asphyxiating, and related specificities, we believed it would mean more — that it would signify a general humanization of combat methods on land, sea, and air when there might be another Great War. I did not expect it to come in my lifetime nor to be captured to participate in it firsthand. [END OF EXCERPT] Thank you for your presence.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Greetings and welcome to Hacker Public Radio. My name is Peter Paterson, also known as SolusSpider. In my spare time I like to watch scifi shows and movies, including those about superheroes. I am so looking forward to the new Superman movie by DC, with James Gunn as showrunner. In that film the actor Nathan Fillion plays a Green Lantern named Guy Gardner. Recently I remembered that I owned a Green Lantern Blu-ray animated movie with Nathan Fillion as the voice of Hal Jordan. That movie is named Emerald Knights. These days when I purchase a Blu-ray it normally comes with a digital code for Movies Anywhere . Therefore I often never play the physical disk at all. This particular disk did not have that option. I searched the streaming services for where to watch Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Seems it is only available for rent or purchase. Obviously since I own the disk I am not going to do that. Therefore, I tried once again to try to play the disk directly on my Linux system. We do have dedicated Blu-ray players in the house. One is a Samsung unit in our living room, but that is where my Dragon-in-Law Eva lives. The other is a Playstation 3 in our bedroom. There is also the factor that I wanted to watch while doing other computer projects in my own room. My main computer system is a System76 Thelio desktop running PCLinuxOS as the operating system. Connected via USB is an Asus External Blu-Ray BW-16D1H-U player . Rather than go into detail with all that did not work, I shall instead focus on informing you what worked well on my own system. Many of the forums lead you down strange paths. It all came down to installing all I needed from Flatpak via Flathub.org Here is all that I installed: VLC : org.videolan.VLC MakeMKV : com.makemkv.MakeMKV Blu-ray java plugin : org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.bdj FDK-AAC encoding plugin : org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.fdkaac MakeMKV plugin for VLC : org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.makemkv Detailed program names are in the shownotes. To install these direct from terminal type: flatpak install (name of program) These instructions assume that you already have Flatpak installed on your Linux system. If you do not, then the Flathub website will give you guidance for your particular distro. I did have to uninstall VLC first from PCLinuxOS, which had been installed from the repo. This enabled all the relevant library files to be accessible across Flatpak. MakeMKV is a format converter, or transcoder, that converts the files on a physical disk to MKV files. Many use this program to copy their Blu-Rays to a storage medium for their own home-streaming purposes. I have yet to go down that road, as I just wanted to play the disk. Plus I don't have that much storage. I originally purchased MakeMKV for $50 in 2020. Yes, paid. It is a proprietary program, but then again so is the Blu-Ray disk encryption. These days it costs $60 for a lifetime licence. That said, MakeMKV is beta software that is free to use, and they supply a licence key that is good for a month. The only downside is that you have to visit their forum page every month to obtain the updated key code. Once all this was installed, I opened VLC, clicked on 'Open Disk...' from Media, selected Blu-ray from Disk Selection, then clicked on Play. For me it just worked! Hope it shall do for you also. It's so great to be able to directly play Blu-rays on my Linux system again. Remember the Green Lantern oath: "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power… Green Lantern's light!" Thank you so much for listening to my latest topic of interest. Please leave me a comment on the HPR show page. I look forward to hearing from you. Now go forth, take care of yourself, also your fellow neighbours, and record your own HPR show! Provide feedback on this episode.

HPR reports from the state Capitol on the opening day of the legislative session; Artist and filmmaker Etienne Aurelius talks about the new exhibit "Aliʻi Atlas" that uses tech to present the Hawaiian monarchy to new audiences

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Greetings and welcome to Hacker Public Radio. My name is Peter Paterson, also known as SolusSpider, a Scotsman living in Kentucky, USA. This is my second HPR recording. The first was episode 4258 where I gave my introduction and computer history. Once again I am recording the audio on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, running Android 14, with Audio Recorder by Axet. The app was installed from F-Droid. Markdown For my Shownotes I learned to use Markdown by using the ReText app, which allows me to write in one window and preview the result in another. What is this show about? When I visited Archer72, AKA Mark Rice, in November 2024 in his University of Kentucky trauma room I reminded him that I work for God's Pantry Food Bank. He said he wanted to hear more, and highly suggested that I record the story as an HPR show, so here we are. I plan to ask the questions I hear from so many, and attempt to answer them as best I am able. What is the History of God's Pantry Food Bank? Reading directly from the About-Us page of Godspantry.org Mim Hunt, the founder of God's Pantry Food Bank, vowed to leave "the heartbreaking profession of social work" behind when she returned to her hometown of Lexington after serving as a child welfare worker in 1940's New York City. She and her husband, Robert, opened "Mim's," a combination gift shop, antique gallery, and health food store, but after seeing poverty in Lexington that rivaled what she'd fought against in New York, she found herself unable to remain silent. Mim began her work in Lexington by filling her station wagon with food, clothing, and bedding, and distributing it directly to individuals in need. Soon, neighbors were bringing food donations to what became known as "Mim's Pantry" located at her home on Lexington's Parkers Mill Road. But Mim quickly corrected them. "I don't fill these shelves," she said. "God does. This is God's Pantry." God's Pantry Food Bank was born out of this work in 1955 and remained mobile until the first pantry was opened in 1959. Since its founding, the food bank has grown in many ways. What started with one woman attempting to do what she could to address a need is now an organization serving 50 counties in Central and Eastern Kentucky through a number of programs with a dedicated staff committed to the mission of solving hunger. Mim Hunt devoted her life to helping others, and we continue to honor her legacy at God's Pantry Food Bank. Her work is proof that one person, with every small action, can make a large impact. We invite you to join us in continuing Mim's work. Where have been the locations of the main Food Bank facility? My ex-workmate Robert Srodulski recently wrote a reply in Facebook when our newest building was announced. He stated: "If I count right, this is the 6th main warehouse location in Lexington. Congratulations! > Mim's house and car Oldham Avenue garage A building next to Rupp Arena (which is now gone) Forbes Road Jaggie Fox Way, Innovation Drive." My friend Robert was employed by the Food Bank for 26 years. I am chasing his time as the longest lasting male employee. Two ladies have longer service times: Debbie Amburgey with 36.5 years in our Prestonsburg facility. She started on 19th October 1987. Sadly my good friend Debbie passed earlier this year, and I miss her greatly. She never retired. Danielle Bozarth with currently just under 30 years. She started on 30th May 1995. It would take me just over 11 years to catch up with Debbie's service record, which would take me to the age of 68. Unsure if I shall still be employed by then! What exactly do I mean by Food Bank? In February 2023 I wrote a blog post with my explanation of Food Bank. My website is LinuxSpider.net, and you will find the direct link in the shownotes. The blog was written as a response to friends, mostly from the United Kingdom, asking me very this question. To many there, and indeed here in USA also, what is called a Food Bank is what I call a local Food Pantry. Nobody is wrong here at all. We all gather food from various sources and distribute it to our neighbours who are in food insecure need. Most Pantries are totally staffed by volunteers and often open limited hours. The Food Bank has a larger scope in where we source food from, the amount sourced, does have paid staff but still dependent on volunteers, and we are open at least 40 hours a week. More if you include projects that involve evenings and Saturdays. God's Pantry Food Bank has a service area which includes 50 of the 120 Counties of Kentucky, covering central, southern, and eastern, including part of Appalachia. When I started in 1999 we were distributing 6 million pounds weight of food per year. This is about 150 semi-truckloads. Over 25 years later we are looking at distributing about 50 million pounds this year, about 1,250 truckloads. Over 40% of our distribution is fresh produce. We are an hunger relief organisation, so this amount of food is assisting our neighbours in need. In those 50 Counties we have about 400 partner agencies. Many of these agencies are Soup Kitchens, Children's Programs, Senior Programs, as well as Food Pantries. God's Pantry Food Bank is partnered with the Feeding America network of 198 Food Banks. In my early years I knew them as America's Second Harvest. In 2008 they changed name to Feeding America. Their website is FeedingAmerica.org What they do is outlined in their our-work page, including: Ensuring everyone can get the food they need with respect and dignity. Advocating for policies that improve food security for everyone. Partnering to address the root causes of food insecurity, like the high cost of living and lack of access to affordable housing. Working with local food banks and meal programs. Ending hunger through Food Access, Food Rescue, Disaster Response, and Hunger Research. I have visited a few other Food Banks, but not as many as I would have liked. We all have our own areas of service, but do often interact as the needs arise, especially in times of disaster. The Feeding America network came to Kentucky's aid in the past few years with the flooding in the East and tornadoes in the West. Feeding America aided the Food Banks affected by the devastation from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. How did I get started at the Food Bank? As mentioned in my introduction show I moved from Scotland to Kentucky in May 1999 and married Arianna in June 1999. Before our wedding I had received my green card. My future Mother-in-Law Eva recommended I check with God's Pantry Food Bank to see if they were hiring. She was working for Big Lots and had applied for a warehouse job at the Food Bank. Unfortunately for her she never got the job, but she was quite impressed by the organisation. She knew that I had warehouse and driving experience. So, one day after dropping Arianna at her University of Kentucky Medical Staff Office I stopped by the Food Bank on South Forbes Road to ask. The answer was that they were indeed hiring for the warehouse, and to come back that afternoon to meet with CW Drury, the Warehouse Manager. I drove home, put on smarter clothes, and drove back. It was a pleasure meeting CW and hearing about the job. Although most of the explanation of what they did in their mission went over my head at the time, I knew needed a job, and wanted to join this company. A few days before our wedding I received a phone call from CW offering me the position. I accepted and went for my medical the next day. My first day with God's Pantry Food Bank was on Tuesday 6th July 1999, the day after our honeymoon. I will admit that although my previous job in Scotland was a physical one, quite a few months had passed, and the heat was hot that Summer in Kentucky! I went home exhausted everyday, but totally enjoying the work I was doing. I started off mostly picking orders, assisting Agencies that came in, going to the local Kroger supermarkets to pick up bread, deliver and pick up food barrels of donations, and all the other duties CW assigned me to. I particularly enjoyed the software part of the job. I forget the name of the software back then, but do remember learning the 10 digit Item Codes. 1st is the source 2nd and 3rd are the category. There are 31 officially with Feeding America. next 6 is the unique UPC - usually from the item bar code 10th is the storage code of dry, cooler, or freezer The first code I memorised was Bread Products: 1040010731 This broke down to Donated, Bread Category, UPC number, and Dry Storage. I must admit we did not create a new code when we started storing Bread Product in the Cooler. That is probably the only exception It has been my responsibility all these years to maintain the Item Category Code sheet with different codings we have used and had to invent. An example is that when the source digit had already used 1 to 9, we had to start using letters. Although there were concerns at the time, everything worked out well. When I started at South Forbes Road there were 11 employees there and Debbie in Prestonsburg. 12 in total, in 2 locations. These days we have over 80 employees in 5 locations: Lexington, Prestonsburg, London, Morehead, and a Volunteer Center on Winchester Road, Lexington, near the Smuckers JIF Peanut Butter plant. My time at 104 South Forbes Road was for a full 4 weeks! In August 1999 we moved to 1685 Jaggie Fox Way, into a customised warehouse with 3 pallet tall racking, and lots of office space. It felt so large back then! On my first couple of days of unloading trucks there I totally wore out a pair of trainers!! Jaggie Fox does sound like a strange name for a street, but I later learned it came from 2 ladies, Mrs Jaggie and Mrs Fox who owned the land before the business park purchase. Anyway, that's what I have been told by mulitple people. Technology was fun in 1999, as we had a 56K phone modem, about 10 computers, and 1 printer. You can imagine the shared internet speed. I forget how long, but we eventually got DSL, then Cable. What have been my duties at the Food Bank? For my first decade of employment I worked the warehouse and as a driver. This included delivering food to the 4 to 5 local pantries that we ran ourselves in local church buildings in Fayette County. Funny story is that a couple of years into the job, I was approached by the Development Manager and asked if I knew websites and HTML. I informed her that I was familiar, and she made me responsible for the maintenance of the website that University of Kentucky students had created. It indeed was quite basic with only HTML and images. I had this duty for a few years before a professional company was hired. I mentioned Inventory software. In early 2000 we moved to an ERP, that is an Enterprise Resource Planning suite named Navision written by a Danish company. That company was then taken over by Microsoft. For as while it was called Microsoft NAV, and these days it is part of Dynamics 365. Feeding America commissioned a module named CERES which assisted us non-profits to use profit orientated software. Inhouse, we just call the software CERES. Even though I was no longer maintaining the website, I was still involved in IT to a degree. I became the inhouse guy who would set up new employees with their own computer. Ah, the days of Active Directory. I never did like it! I was also the guy the staff came to first with their computer problems. Funny how a lot of these issues were fixed when I walked in their office. If I could not fix an issue there and then, we did have a contract company on-call. They maintained our server and other high level software. This was still when I was in the warehouse role. After that first decade I was allocated to be our Welcome Center person, which I did for 3 years. This involved welcoming agencies, guests, salespersons, volunteers, and assisting other staff members in many ways. I also went from being a driver to the person who handed out delivery and pick-up routes to the drivers. During these years I became a heavy user of CERES working with the agencies and printing out pick-sheets to our warehouse picking staff. Although I really enjoyed the work, I will openly admit that I am not always the best in heavily social situations. I did have some difficulty when the Welcome Center was full of people needing my attention and I was trying to get software and paperwork duties done. Somehow I survived! My next stage of employment was moving into the offices and becoming the assistant to the Operations Director. This is when I really took on the role of food purchaser, ordering fresh produce and food from vendors as part of our budget. I also took over the responsibility of bidding for food donations from the Feeding America portal named Choice. National Donors offer truckloads of food and other items to the network, and we Food Banks bid on them in an allocated share system. The donations are free, but we pay for the truck freight from the shipping locations. A full time IT person was hired. We are now on our 4th IT Manager. The last 2 each had assistants. Although I am grandfathered in as an admin, my duties in this regard are very low, but still have the abity to install software as needed. Quite handy on my own laptop. As well as being the Food Procurement Officer I also became the Reporting Officer. This has been greatly aided by our team receiving the ability to write our own reports from the Navision SQL database using Jet Reporting. This is an Excel extension that allows us to access field data not directly obtainable in the CERES program. The fore-mentioned Robert Srodulski used to spend a day creating a monthly report that included all of our 50 counties across multiple categories of data. He would step by step complete an Excel worksheet with all this information. I took his spreadsheet, converted it into a Jet Report, and it now runs in about 5 minutes! It is my responsibility to supply reports on a regular monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis to my Directors, fellow staff, and to Feeding America. Yes, I do have an orange mug on my desk that says "I submitted my MPR". That is the Monthly Pulse Report. It sits next to my red swingline stapler! What are God's Pantry Food Bank's sources of food? This is probably the question I get asked the most when friends and online contacts find out what I do for a career. We receive and obtain food from various sources, including: Local donations from people like you. Thank you! Local farmers. Local retail companies and other businesses giving food directly to us and to our Partner Agencies. We are the official food charity of many retailers, including Walmart and Kroger. National Companies, mostly through the Feeding America Choice Program. The USDA, U.S. Department of Agriculture, supplies us with multiple programs of food: TEFAP (the Emergency Food Assistance Program), CCC (Commodity Credit Corporation), and CSFP (Commodity Supplemental Food Program). Purchased food, including Fresh Produce, via donations and grants. Without all this food coming in, we would not be able to distribute to our internal programs or to our partner agencies, allowing them to run Backpacks for Kids, Food Boxes for Seniors, Food Pantries, Mobile Distributions, Sharing Thanksgiving, and a multitude of other services we offer our neighbours. We have a team of Food Sourcers that work directly with the retail companies, so I am not fully involved there, but I am the main Food Purchaser for the majority of the food we buy. Specialised internal programs like Backpack and local Pantries do order specific foods that they need on a regular basis. I try to supply for the long term. With the USDA CSFP program I am responsible for the ordering of that food through a Government website. Often 6 to 12 months ahead of time. Here's a truth that staggers many people when I inform them: If you are spending cash on food donations to God's Pantry Food Bank, the most efficient use of those funds is to donate it to us. I truly can obtain about $10 worth of food for every $1 given. An example is that I recently obtained a full truckload donation of 40,000lb of Canned Sliced Beets (yum!) that we are paying only freight on. Do the maths. #Where is God's Pantry Food Bank located? As mentioned we have 5 locations, not including our own local pantries, but our main head office is at 2201 Innovation Drive Please check out our webpage at GodsPantry.org/2201innovationdrive as it includes an excellent animated walk-through tour of the offices and warehouse, including the Produce Cooler, Deli Cooler, and Freezer. They are massive! I personally waited until the very last day, Friday 13th of December, to move out of my Jaggie Fox office and into my new one at Innovation. Our official first day was on Monday 16th December 2024. What I tooted and posted on that Friday caught the eye of my CEO, Michael Halligan, and he asked me if he could share it with others. Of course he should! In the Shownotes I have included a link to my Mastodon toot. It's too long a number to read out. I am absolutely loving our new location. It's my challenge to fill the cooler, freezer, and dry warehouse with donated food! My new office is 97% set up to my workflow, including my infamous hanging report boards, and spiders everywhere. The last line of my blog says: All that said, it truly is the only job I have ever had which I absolutely enjoy, but totally wish did not exist!! This remains true. Our mission is: Reducing hunger by working together to feed Kentucky communities. Our vision is: A nourished life for every Kentuckian. #How may HPR listeners support God's Pantry Food Bank The quick answer is to go to our website of GodsPantry.org and click on Take Action.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Taken from https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_documentation/src/branch/main/developer_information.md Developer Information. Hacker Public Radio (HPR) is a long term project run by volunteers. Project Principles There are a few things you need to be aware of before you decide to contribute to HPR. Our prime directive is that "HPR is dedicated to sharing knowledge". Any software development is done with the goal of supporting the distribution of the podcast media, locally so they can be played on as many devices as possible. The priority is to keep the flow of shows coming in and going out, fix any accessibility issue that arise, then work on any other feature requests. Some things we can change without discussion but other things we need to get input from the HPR Community . Changes can take a long time, community approval can take several months, while other changes require a lot of work from volunteers who are focused on other priorities. We allow redistribution by releasing all our content under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) . In the same vein all our code is released under aGPLv3 , or other OSI approved licenses . We do not track statistics to the detriment of our prime directive. We make the entire delivery ecosystem redundant using native Internet standards, and the cooperation of community members. All Data is available by default. Community Members, sponsors, and hosting platforms will change over time. We have a distrust of online platforms, libraries and niche tools (that we do not support ourselves) as they can and have disappeared overnight . We are very conservative in our choice of tech. As a rule of thumb, all software choices tend to be technology that was developed years ago, and is likely to be around for years to come. We make our code as simple to understand as possible as our replacement may not have the skill set we do. That said, we move with the times when there is a clear advantage to do so. We run up to date patched stable software. We have a long tradition of supporting and sharing hacker culture. Any identified vulnerability are fixed with credit if requested. We use RSS as a delivery mechanism, which is by default fault tolerant. Our primary domains HackerPublicRadio.com and HackerPublicRadio.org are registered with different providers, and the DNS is served from different locations. All our code is on GitTea , please clone locally. Our database is updated frequently, please copy locally. Our media is served from our Community Content Delivery Network (CCDN) Bug reports, and patches are welcome from anyone without commitment. If you are contributing new code, or new technology we ask you commit to supporting it for a minimum of two years . This allows the other Janitors time to learn the new tech and support it when you leave. Create an Account If you're happy with all that, then... In order to contribute you need to create an account , but you also need to notify the admins@hpr either via email, mastodon, or matrix that you have created an account. Due to the level of spam accounts we need to approve each one by one. Provide feedback on this episode.

This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under Mailman. The threaded discussions this month can be found here: https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-November/thread.html Events Calendar With the kind permission of LWN.net we are linking to The LWN.net Community Calendar. Quoting the site: This is the LWN.net community event calendar, where we track events of interest to people using and developing Linux and free software. Clicking on individual events will take you to the appropriate web page. Any other business It's been another hectic month here at HPR Towers. As we discussed on the mailing list most of the time was taken by the migration to Mastodon, and the implementation of the mirrors on the Community Content Delivery Network. Some daily stats are been updated on https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/hpr_ccdn_stats.tsv Summary of the changes to the repo https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR Dave updated his tooling for processing shows and they are now available on the Gitea repo. We finally got around to creating the HPR Documentation wiki. Community Content Delivery Network (CCDN) A location to track the deployment of the HPR Community Content Delivery Network, that provides a mirror network for our content. HPR Website Design This is literally in the whiteboard phase of the HPR website redesign. Where we can track Compatibility of the clients subscribed to our feeds. Useful Resources Where we can link to other free culture sites that provide useful services. Requested Topics Where we can track topics that have been requested, and link to shows that addressed them. There is also a list with information about Podcatcher and Podcasting Platform Compatibility. If anyone wants to adopt a player then please do so. The section on Workflow will be changing shortly due to Dave stepping aside, and also the need to distribute to multiple end points. All the processing will happen first, and then all the checks will be done at the same stage just prior to posting. For this to work we need help finding a simple manageable WYSIWYG editor that can produce sane HTML when the host uploads the show. We also need a new system to distribute the files from an origin to all the mirrors. Other changes and fixes. The day of the week is now available on the website. Fixed the RSS feed to show explicit status. Fixed a bug that limited the future feed to just 10 shows. Fixed a typo in the status page. Following feedback, added emphasis about the upcoming two weeks, to the scheduling guidelines. Notable shout out to the people who are promoting HPR and are helping people out with audio issues.

Today on the Conversation, we're re-airing interviews with Hawaiʻi teachers that have a had a big impact on their students — including some of the folks who work at HPR.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Introduction Hosts: MrX Dave Morriss We recorded this on Saturday September 14th 2024. This time we were at Swanston Farm, a place we had previously visited for lunch in March 2024. After lunch we adjourned to Dave's car (Studio N) in the car park, and recorded a chat. The details of why it is Studio N instead of Studio C is mentioned in the chat itself! Preparing this show has taken longer than usual this time - apologies! Topics discussed Studio change: Sadly, since the last recording Studio C (Dave's 10-year old Citroën C4 Picasso) self-destructed. It was a diesel car and one of the fuel injectors failed and destroyed the engine management system as it died. It wasn't worth repairing! The replacement is Studio N, a Nissan Leaf, which is an EV (electric vehicle). The price of nearly new EV cars is fairly good in the UK at this time in 2024, so it seemed like a good opportunity to get one. Learning to own and drive an EV can be challenging to some extent: "Range anxiety" and access to charging stations Regenerative braking Fast (DC) charging on the road is relatively expensive (£0.79p per kWh), but is convenient Ideally, a home (AC) charger is required. It will be slower (7 kW per hour) but will be cheaper with a night tariff (£0.085 per kWh versus £0.25 per kWh normal rate) There is potential, with solar panels and a battery, to use free electricity to charge an EV at home MrX might like to move to an EV in the future YouTube channels: Dave is subscribed to a channel called "The Post Apocalyptic Inventor (TPAI)" and recently shared one of the latest videos with MrX. The channel owner collects discarded items from scrapyards in Germany, or buys old bits of equipment, and gets them working again. Milling Machine Adventure! Bring her Home! / Gantry Build I built a CNC Plasma Cutting Table from Scrap! Databases: MrX used dBase on DOS in the past, and received some training in databases. In 2017 he obtained a large csv (comma-separated values) file from the OFCOM (Office of Communications, UK) website containing their Wireless Legacy Register, which contains licensees and frequencies with longitude and latitude values. A means of interrogating this file was sought, having found that spreadsheets were not really very good at handling files of this size (around 200,000 records). MrX used the xsv tool, which was covered in shows hpr2698 and hpr2752 by Mr. Young. It allows a CSV file to be interrogated in quite a lot of detail from the command line. However, with a file of this size it was still quite slow. In a discussion with Dave the subject of the SQLite database came up. Using the SQLite Browser it was simple to load this CSV file into a database and gain rapid access to its contents. SQLite databases may also be queried through a command-line interface which can also be run on a Raspberry Pi, phones, tablets and on a ChromeBook. The textimg tool: This is a command to convert from colored text (ANSI or 256) to an image. Dave generates coloured text from his meal database (HPR show hpr3386 :: What's for dinner?, this being a later enhancement), then captures the output and sends it to a Telegram channel shared with his family. Dave also exchanges weather data obtained from the site wttr.in with Archer72 on Matrix. This is a useful tool for generating images from text, including any text colours. It can be installed from the GitHub copy, and maybe from some package repositories. Using coloured text in BASH (Dave responding to MrX): I have used a function to define variables with colour names: Call a function define_colours which defines (and exports) variables called red, green, etc. Using red=$(tput setaf 1); export red I use the colours in two ways: Method 1: use these names in echo "${red}Red text${reset}" Method 2: use another function coloured which takes two arguments, a colour name (as a string) and a message. The script encloses the message argument in a colour variable and a reset. The colour name argument is used in a redirection to turn red into the contents of the variable $red. This probably needs a show to explain things fully. Terminal multiplexers: Dave and MrX use GNU screen. Both recognise that the alternative tmux might be better to use in terms of features, but are reluctant to learn a new interface! Dave has noticed a new open-source alternative called zellij but has not yet used it. Variable weather: Dealing with hot weather: YouTube, Techmoan channel PERSONAL AIRCON - Ranvoo Aice Lite Review MrX had recently had a holiday in the Lake District where the weather was good. In Scotland the weather has been wet and windy in the same period. Spectrum24, OggCamp: MrX is attending his first OggCamp in Manchester. Dave will be attending too, as will Ken. HPR has a table/booth at OggCamp. Ken was recently at Spectrum24, an amateur radio conference in Paris. Meshtastic an open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices Old inkjet printers: MrX has an Epson R300 printer where the black ink seems to have dried up. Dave has an old HP Inkjet with the same type of problem. This printer has a scanner and FAX capability. An HPR show was done in 2015 describing how it was set up to use a Raspberry Pi to make it available on the local network. Propelling or mechanical pencils: Dave had a Pentel GraphGear 1000 propelling (aka mechanical) pencil which was mentioned on HPR show 3197. This was dropped onto concrete, and didn't appear damaged at the time, but it apparently received internal damage and eventually fell apart.

We also had a lot of changes due to the ongoing Internet Archive outage that is still impacting us. A quick fix was to host the 10 day feed directly from the HPR server, but since then we have made all the media available on the HPR Community Content Delivery Network. We will have three sources but if you meet the requirements for hosting, and wish to help out please get in touch. 24/7 Home Service Fixed IP address Unlimited bandwidth Fast > 500mb/sec upload Large > 1T of storage Permission from your ISP to run a web server Contact information known to the Janitors Optional: UPS We added a html link to the comments page to provide direct feedback from any app that supports it. Eg: gPodder opens Firefox at the comment form. We have consolidated a lot of repositories on Gitea, removing some and moving others. https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR Documentation is now available and includes: Community Content Delivery Network (CCDN) A location to track the deployment of the HPR Community Content Delivery Network, that provides a mirror network for our content.

Message from Dave Morriss I am planning to "retire" from the Hacker Public Radio Janitorial Team. I have been helping to administer HPR for over 12 years now. I first offered help to Ken in 2012 in response to an appeal he made. We met at OggCamp in that year, and I joined the Community News recording for episode 1066 in September 2012. My first show was 1091 in October that year. I will turn 75 in December 2024, and am finding that I don't have the energy to do as much as I could when I first joined. I also want to be able to devote more time to the various personal projects I have. I plan to consolidate all my scripts on the HPR Gitea repositories, and document all the processes I have been looking after. I want to have completed the handover by the end of March 2025. I will continue as an HPR host for as long as I can after that. I have had a wonderful 12 years as an HPR Janitor and will always look back on it with great pleasure.

Overview In this episode we will continue looking at basic filters. Then we will start looking at the feature that makes jq very powerful, the ability to transform JSON from one form to another. In essence we can read and parse JSON and then construct an alternative form. More basic filters Array/String Slice: .[:] This filter allows parts of JSON arrays or strings to be extracted. The first number is the index of the elements of the array or string, starting from zero. The second number is an ending index, but it means "up to but not including". If the first index is omitted it refers to the start of the string or array. If the second index is blank it refers to the end of the string or array. This example shows using an array and extracting part of it: $ x="[$(seq -s, 1 10)]" $ echo "$x" [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] $ echo "$x" | jq -c '.[3:6]' [4,5,6] Here we use the seq command to generate the numbers 1-10 separated by commas in a JSON array. Feeding this to jq on its standard input with the slice request '.[3:6]' results in a sub-array from element 3 (containing value 4), up to but not including element 6 (containing 7). Note that using the '-c' option generates compact output, as we discussed in the last episode. For a string, the idea is similar, as in: $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[7:10]' "Pub" Notice that we provide the JSON string quotes inside single quotes following echo. The filter '.[7:10]' starts from element 7 (letter "P") up to but not including element 10 (letter "l"). Both of the numbers may be negative, meaning that they are offsets from the end of the array or string. So, using '.[-7:-4]' in the array example gives the same result as '.[3:6]', as do '.[3:-4]' and '.[-7:6]'. This example uses the x variable created earlier: $ for f in '.[-7:-4]' '.[3:6]' '.[3:-4]' '.[-7:6]'; do > echo "$x" | jq -c "$f" > done [4,5,6] [4,5,6] [4,5,6] [4,5,6] Similarly, using '.[-12:-9]' gives the same result as '.[7:10]' when used with the string. $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[-12:-9]' "Pub" As a point of interest, I wrote a little Bash loop to show the positive and negative offsets of the characters in the test string - just to help me visualise them. See the footnote1 for details. Finally, here is how to get the last character of the example string using positive and negative offsets: $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[18:]' "o" $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[-1:]' "o" Array/Object Value Iterator: .[] This filter generates values from iterating through an array or an object. It is similar to the .[index] syntax we have already seen, but it returns all of the array elements: $ arr='["Kohinoor","plastered","downloadable"]' $ echo "$arr" | jq '.[]' "Kohinoor" "plastered" "downloadable" The strings in the array are returned separately, not as an array. This is because this is an iterator, and its output can be linked to other filters. It can also be used to iterate over values in an object: $ obj='{"name": "Hacker Public Radio", "type": "Podcast"}' $ echo "$obj" | jq '.[]' "Hacker Public Radio" "Podcast" This iterator does not work on other data types, just arrays and objects. An alternative iterator .[]? exists which ignores errors: $ echo "true" | jq '.[]' jq: error (at :1): Cannot iterate over boolean (true) Ignoring errors: $ echo "true" | jq '.[]?' Using multiple filters There are two operators that can be placed between filters to combine their effects: the comma (',') and the pipe ('|'). Comma operator The comma (',') operator allows you to chain together multiple filters. As we already know, the jq program feeds the input it receives on standard input or from a file into whatever filter it is given. So far we have only seen a single filter being used. With the comma operator the input to jq is fed to all of the filters separated by commas in left to right order. The result is a concatenation of the output of all of these filters. For example, if we take the output from the HPR stats page which was mentioned in part 1 of this series of shows, and store it in a file called stats.json we can view two separate parts of the JSON like this: $ curl -s https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/stats.json -O $ jq '.shows , .queue' stats.json { "total": 4756, "twat": 300, "hpr": 4456, "duration": 7640311, "human_duration": "0 Years, 2 months, 29 days, 10 hours, 18 minutes and 31 seconds" } { "number_future_hosts": 6, "number_future_shows": 18, "unprocessed_comments": 0, "submitted_shows": 0, "shows_in_workflow": 51, "reserve": 20 } This applies the filter .shows (an object identifier-index filter, see part 2) which returns the contents of the object with that name, then it applies filter .queue which returns the relevant JSON object. Pipe operator The pipe ('|') operator combines filters by feeding the output of the first (left-most) filter of a pair into the second (right-most) filter of a pair. This is analogous to the way the same symbol works in the Unix shell. For example, if we extract the 'shows' object from stats.json, we can then extract the value of the total' key' as follows: $ jq '.shows | .total' stats.json 4756 Interestingly, chaining two object identifier-index filters gives the same output: $ jq '.shows.total' stats.json 4756 (Note: to answer the question in the audio, the two filters shown can also be written as '.shows .total' with intervening spaces.) We will see the pipe operator being used in many instances in upcoming episodes. Parentheses It is possible to use parentheses in filter expressions in a similar way to using them in arithmetic, where they group parts together and can change the normal order of operations. They can be used in other contexts too. The example is a simple arithmetic one: $ jq '.shows.total + 2 / 2' stats.json 4757 $ jq '(.shows.total + 2) / 2' stats.json 2379 Examples Finding country data #1 Here we are using a file called countries.json obtained from the GitHub project listed below. This file is around 39,000 lines long so it is not being distributed with the show. However, it's quite interesting and you are encouraged to grab a copy and experiment with it. I will show ways in which the structure can be examined and reported with jq in a later show, but for now I will show an example of extracting data: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" The file contains an array of country objects; the one with index 42 is Switzerland. The name of the country is in an object called "name", with the common name in a keyed field called "common", thus the filter .name.common. In this country object is an object called "capital" holding an array containing the name (or names) of the capital city (or cities). The filter .capital.[] obtains and displays the contents of the array. Note that we used a comma operator between the filters. Finding country data #2 Another search of the countries.json file, this time looking at the languages spoken. There is an object called "languages" which contains abbreviated language names as keys and full names as the values: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" { "fra": "French", "gsw": "Swiss German", "ita": "Italian", "roh": "Romansh" } Using the filter .languages we get the whole object, however, using the iterator .[] we get just the values. $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" "French" "Swiss German" "Italian" "Romansh" This has some shortcomings, we need the construction capabilities of jq to generate more meaningful output.

Any other business Repairing shows where external files have been lost The further back in time we go with these repairs, the more challenging they tend to become because of the variations in the way shows were put together. 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.

TIL 1: Incrementing times with the date command I have been working on an HPR project which is restoring external files to shows which lost them when we migrated to the current static site. As I make changes I want to be able to check that they are correct, but to make this check I need to wait for the next update of the static site. Ken was away recently, and set up a cron job to refresh the site every three hours. Each show page shows the refresh time in UTC form in the header. Being a bit numerically challenged I wanted a way of computing the next refresh time in my timezone from the previous refresh time. The GNU date command accepts a date and time expression after the -d option (or using the alternative--date=STRING option). The contents of the STRING here are very flexible but quite complex since you can include time zone data, offsets, day and month names, etc. See the links below for links to the GNU manual. My first attempt used the date command like this and got the wrong answer (using the output format +%T which writes the time in a default form): $ date -d '16:27:16 + 3 hours' +%T 15:27:16 It is not clear why this fails, but the GNU function which parses these date parameters is obviously confused. The second try included the time zone after the time, and worked better, but is a little confusing: $ date -d '16:27:16 UTC + 3 hours' +%T 20:27:16 The time returned is local time for me. The date command has added three hours to the UTC date to get 19:27:16, but since I am in the UK, which is in DST (called BST - British Summer Time - UTC plus 1 hour), an hour is added. The final try used the -u option which writes UTC time: $ date -u -d '16:27:16 UTC + 3 hours' +%T 19:27:16 I actually ended up using and re-using these commands (though a script would have been better): $ current='06:27:55' $ next=$(date -u -d "${current}UTC + 3 hours 3 minutes" +%T); echo "$next UTC / $(date -d "${next} UTC" +'%T %Z')" 09:30:55 UTC / 10:30:55 BST $ current=$next $ next=$(date -u -d "${current}UTC + 3 hours 3 minutes" +%T); echo "$next UTC / $(date -d "${next} UTC" +'%T %Z')" 12:33:55 UTC / 13:33:55 BST $ current=$next $ next=$(date -u -d "${current}UTC + 3 hours 3 minutes" +%T); echo "$next UTC / $(date -d "${next} UTC" +'%T %Z')" 15:36:55 UTC / 16:36:55 BST TIL 1: Links GNU Coreutils manual System context date: Print or set system date and time Date input formats (The quotation at the start of this section of the manual is quite interesting!) Date examples TIL 2: Merging lines of files with paste While processing and "repairing" shows I came across the need to generate a list of show numbers separated by commas. In the past I have loaded these into a Bash array and turned them into a comma-delimited string, using the parameter substitution capabilities of Bash which can add a comma to each element. The trouble with this is that it leaves a trailing comma which has to be removed. I stumbled upon paste as an alternative way of doing this. The GNU paste command is another from the GNU Coreutils group. This one merges lines of files. Its synopsis is: paste [OPTION]... [FILE]... It merges lines consisting of the corresponding lines from each file provided as an argument, by default separated by TABs, and writes them to standard output. This means it produces lines consisting of the first line from each of the files, separated by tabs, then the second lines, and so on. Any of the files can be linked to standard in by using a - (hyphen) as the file name. The delimiters can be changed with the -d LIST or --delimiters=LIST option. The use of a list of delimiters causes the characters in the list to be used sequentially for each delimiter. The merged lines can be visualised as rows in a matrix, where each file provides a column. The "matrix" is rotated by using the -s or --serial option. Here the lines from one file at a time are merged - the files are processed serially rather than in parallel. The paste command can be used to generate the comma-delimited list I wanted by using the options -s and -d ',': $ printf '%s\n' {1..10} | paste -s -d, - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Note that you can't get the same result with echo {1..10} because all the numbers will be written to one line rather than being the separate lines that paste requires. The file arguments to paste may also be Bash process substitution expressions: $ paste -s -d,
