Podcasts about ogg vorbis

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Intro Hello, this is your host, Archer72, for Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, this is my third show involving my record player. I am using a Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder microphone, recording into Audacity for this show. Why visit the record shop? Picking up a record at the record shop expands my music choices. I get a chance to talk to the owner on the weekend when searching for new music. He is an archaeologist and a teacher at a local college during the week, and is knowledgeable on all the music in the store. One Year With the Institute - Archive.org I wanted a way to listen to the records while on my laptop, preferably with headphones, as to not disturb the household. How is this accomplished? This is done using a combination of Darkice to capture the stream, and Icecast to stream it to the local network. What is Icecast? Icecast is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction. Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/icecast.xml.dist.gz icecast.xml.dist if the default config gets mangled or corrupted by myself. Several other types of configs are also in /usr/share/doc/icecast2/ that include a bare bones config and the installed icecast2 config is located in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml Configuration needed to be personalized Cynthiana,KY ricemark20.nospam@nospam.gmail.com Change the passwords from hackme to a more secure password hackme hackme admin hackme 192.168.x.x mountPoint = live # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server name = DarkIce Vinyl Stream # name of the stream description = This is my Vinyl stream # description of the stream url = http://localhost # URL related to the stream genre = Podcast # genre of the stream public = yes # advertise this stream? localDumpFile = recording.ogg # Record also to a file metadata = yes # enable metadata What is Darkice? DarkIce is a live audio streamer designed to record audio from an audio interface, such as a sound card, encode it, and send it to a streaming server. It supports various streaming servers including IceCast 1 and 2, ShoutCast, and Darwin Streaming Server. DarkIce can encode audio in formats like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. To use DarkIce, you configure it with settings such as the audio input device, sample rate, and streaming server details, including the server's address, port, and authentication information. This description of Darkice is a result of using the Brave Search LLM, or Large Language Model. The default config file is located in /usr/share/doc/darkice/examples/darkice.cfg.gz and is copied to the /etc directory. From there, use the gunzip command, for example gunzip darkice.cfg.gz I used the config file from a blog by Steffen Müller on stmllr.net August 10, 2012 as a template for my configuration darkice.cfg This is the configuration I used in the end. darkice-pi.cfg Changes to the template The audio device is configured in the [input] section, defined by arecord dash lowercase ‘L' to list the capture device, which in my case is the Behringer UMC202HD USB Audio Interface [general] duration = 0 # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever The section of the config file for audio input looks like this. [input] device = plughw:0,0 # This refers to card 0, device 0 Start Darkice darkice & Update Metadata I was looking for a way to update the Currently Playing metadata, but my coding skills are not too good. For this, I used Claude.ai to generate code from the prompt: BASH script to send HTTP request to change metadata on icecast stream update-metadata.sh Default values HOST="localhost" # 192.168.x.x PORT="8000" # Default Icecast port MOUNT="/stream" USER="admin" PASSWORD="hackme" # Icecast admin password SONG="Unknown" Usage update-metadata.sh -s "HPR Test" If there are any suggestions for improvements, please leave a comment or upload a show. I look forward to hearing about if an how other people are using a personal streaming server. Also, I am looking forward to the show from the Reserve Queue, 2024-10-13 Fred Black What LP records do I have Other References Radiostreaming for Beginners Provide feedback on this episode.

Hello again, my name is André Jaenisch, also known as Ryuno-Ki. Last week I recorded my first episode for Hacker Public Radio, the podcast you are listening to right now. This one is recorded on 15th May 2023. Again I'm publishing it under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Getting contacted I was surprised to get mentioned on the Fediverse after submitting my show. You can find me there at RyunoKi@layer8.space (no dash, eight as digit, link in the shownotes) in case you want to reach out to me. I'm also delighted to have received an email even before my last episode was airing. I was asked whether I am interested in recording an episode on my experience with contributing to Hacker Public Radio for the first time. So this is going to be the topic for today. As a warning upfront: I have a reputation of overthinking stuff. I blame my neurodiversity for it. That being said I'm positive that sharing my thought process can help make the service better for everyone. About recording software I'm recording this episode again using Audacity. Now there is choice about which software you can use for a podcast. Online based as well as offline one. Audacity was in the news for sending analytics home. However I couldn't find any indication in the settings for it (to opt-out). The forks of the software weren't packaged up for Debian as far as I could tell. Or perhaps they require an additional sources.list entry, I don't know. Before recording my very first podcast here I had only experience with some video recording. Oftentimes done by the host but I also prepared a few videos for an online course (which I couldn't publish because life happened) and talks I gave during the pandemic years. Learning about how to podcast As I often do when I enter a new subject, I went to the library and grabbed some books to learn more. In particular I lended Podcasts by Dirk Hildebrand. A small book in German published at Haufe. I add a link in the shownotes. Reading through it I learned that I'm doing okay. It's really easy to start a podcast as HPR promises! The thing I should spend some attention on is keeping a consistent distance to the microphone, enable some level of feedback during the recording so that I can listen to what is recorded while speaking (using my gaming headset Logitech G230) and prepare a script. I don't have to think about designing images for the show or episode because HPR will take care of that for me. It might be different if I start my own podcast. Perhaps using Funkwhale or Castopod. Right now I'm not taking steps towards that. Mainly because I need to rent some webspace first. In my experience streaming media takes considerable amount of bandwidth. Pair that with hosters that try hard to convince you to buy your domains with them as well and the choice shrinks. I have my DNS provider already, thank you very much. Adapting lessons learned I looked into how to do that in Audacity and I think the best I could do for now is hitting on the microphone icon next to the meters in the upper right of the interface and enable observation before I start recording. Also leaving a little bit of time before and after the recording allows me to cut keyboard clicks for starting and stopping the recording. In HPR 3802 I also learned about skipping silences which is a Effect in the Special category here. I hope I don't have pauses so long that it warrants to truncate them. My main thought about going with Audacity was post-processing directly after the recording. I learned from my talks that I already feel comfortable with a script in front of me. It gives me the security I need to avoid too many ums. What's missing on HPR However, I feel like a few things are missing. Considering that this is a podcast that is distributed through HPR and its partners I would like to have chapter markers. I couldn't find a hint on how to add them in the form I was presented. Using timestamps it allows to easily see the outline of a recording which aids in the decision making process on whether it's worth the time to listen to a particular episode. I hope you consider the episodes here useful to make time for them :) Thank you. Another question mark I had when preparing the recording were the settings. I'm used to have a guideline when recording videos for an online talk. Things like preferred format and container, to technical details like stereo or mono to the sampling rate (value and whether static or variable). The only thing I found is a hint that submissions will be transcoded to mono. I record in stereo with the default 44,1 kHz sampling rate here. There was no recommendations on the format so I went with OGG Vorbis instead of MP3 because of license freedom. Audacity appear to not support FLAC so I have to use a lossy format. It's true that MP3 enjoys wide support, but I want to encourage freedom when given the choice. I could have chosen WAV files but those tend to become huge really fast. Adding metadata Now I also add metadata to the recording. Vorbis offers comments for that. You can compare it to ID3 tags for MP3 files. Given that I couldn't find a way to enter these chapter information in HPR web forms I'm experimenting with EasyTAG from the debian repository. From reading the source code of my podcatcher of choice (AntennaPod for Android as distributed in the F-Droid app store) I can tell that it parses these comments at least. If that doesn't yield results I hope to see, there is vorbiscomment of the vorbis-tools package for the command line. And Kid3 with a Qt or CLI interface. Expect some slightly different metadata by me over the course of my contributions. Writing shownotes Last thing I want to highlight before ending this episode is shownotes. Now I have more experience with blogging than recording a podcast. When researching recommendations online there is all this SEO fluff that goes into writing subtitles. Usually with catchy titles, clickbait and all the rest. I have opinions here. However, I enjoy that there is no „leave a rating and a review” part in the episodes I listened to so far, because a podcast is a special RSS feed basically. Why would I want to bind myself to a special platform? But then I also want to be able to read up and search through the content of a podcast episode. Right now I'm sharing my prepared script as a shownote. It could come off as a wall of text. I'm open to feedback on this front. You can find my Keyoxide profile below. Please do reach out to me. Closing And that's it for today. I thank you for listening to me. Looking forward to hear from you. Be it in writing or as an episode on HPR.

Karen and Bradley discuss two other DMCA exemptions filed by Software Freedom Conservancy during the 2020/2021 Triennial Rulemaking Process at the copyright office: one for wireless router firmwares and one for privacy research. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:39) Supporters of Conservancy can join this mailing list to hear and see live recordings of every show! Segment 1 (06:30) Conservancy filed a DMCA exemption request for wireless routers, and updated it with their long comment on the issue. NPR's Planet Money had a show that discussed how recycling plastic in the USA was somewhat of a large con game funded by the plastics industry. Both audio a transcript is available. (19:32, 20:44) Segment 2 (29:10) Bradley and Karen discuss the third exemption request that Conservancy filed, for research to find privacy flaws, and updated it with a long comment on the issue. Karen and Bradley noted that individuals can file reply comments before the deadline of Wednesday 10 March 2021 at 23:59 US/Eastern.

Software Freedom Conservancy filed multiple exemptions in the USA Copyright Office Triennial Rulemaking Process under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In this episode, Karen and Bradley explore the details of Conservancy's filing to request permission to circumvent technological restriction measures in order to investigate infringement of other people's copyright, which is a necessary part of investigations of alleged violations of the GPL and other copyleft licenses. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:39) Bradley claims that you'll now love the audcast more than ever (02:51) Conservancy filed many exemptions as part of the currently ongoing triennial DMCA Process. (02:50) Segment 1 (04:22) Everyone in the Free Software community wishes the USA's Digital Millennium Copyright Act didn't exist. (05:24) Bradley is currently doing research going to the year 1790 that shows the foundations of the copyright act, but Karen points out that Bradley isn't a professional copyright historian (yet). He points out he is an amateur copyright historian (05:45) DMCA is the USA's implementation of the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT), but is more a restrictive copyright act than the WCT requires. (06:50) Bradley mentioned that the three videos from the Copyright Office, which are linked to from Conservancy's blog post on the subject that, while they are Copyright Office propaganda, that are helpful to explain the DMCA (10:57): A Legal Overview of § 1201 (PDF slides only). The Triennial Rulemaking Process for §1201 (PDF slides only). Streamlined Petitions for Renewed Exemptions (PDF slides only). Conservancy filed the most exemption requests in the 2020/2021 Rulemaking Process (21:25) Segment 2 (28:07) Conservancy filed an exemption request and a “Long Form” comment in support of it that was labeled “Class 16: Computer Programs &—; Copyright License Investigation” by the Copyright Office (29:00) Bradley mentioned that people can get arrested just for giving talks under the DMCA, referring to Dmitry Sklyarov. Adobe simply called the FBI and got him arrested under DMCA.

The first live podcast of Free as in Freedom, hosted at SeaGL 2019 in November 2019. Hear questions from the studio audience and answers from Bradley and Karen. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:38) Producer Dan speaks on mic to introduce that this is a live show. Segment 1 (01:17) This is a live show from SeaGL 2019, a community-organized FaiP (02:15) Carol Smith from Microsoft asked about being a charity in the USA under recent tax changes regarding tax deduction and, and asked about Conservancy's annual fundraiser which had completed by the time this show was released. (04:53) Deb took a photo during the show (07:30) A questioner asked about the so-called “ethical but-non-FOSS licenses”. Bradley gave an answer that is supplemented well by this blog post (10:15) and Karen mentioned at CopyleftConf 2020 there was a discussion about this. (15:15) The follow up question was also related to these topics (15:44). Eric Hopper asked about how Conservancy decides when a project joins, and what factors Conservancy considers in projects joining (18:14) A written questioner asked how to handle schools requiring proprietary software as part of their coursework. (22:00) Michael Dexter asked about Karen's teaching at Columbia Law School. (27:25) A written questioner asked about copyleft-next's sunset clause. (29:22) Karen mentioned “Copyleft, All wrongs reversed” as it appeared on n June 1976 on Tiny BASIC, which inspired the term copyleft to mean what it does today. (30:45) Karen spoke about the issues of copyright and trademark regarding Disney, that is supplemented by this blog post. (32:52) Carol Smith asked what Karen and Bradley thought were Conservancy's and/or FOSS' biggest achievements in the last decade. (35:20) Karen mentioned Outreachy was a major success. (37:08) A questioner asked about using the CASE Act to help in GPL enforcement. Bradley discussed how it might ultimately introduce problems similar to arbitration clauses. (41:42) Since the podcast was recorded, the CASE Act has also passed the Senate, but does not seem to have been signed by the President. (47:30) Bradley noted that Mako Hill has pointed out that FOSS has not been involved in lobbying enough. (48:10) A questioner in the audience asked about the Mozilla Corporation structure would allow Mozilla to do lobbying for FOSS. (50:57) Karen explained the Mozilla corporate legal structure (51:35). A questioner in the audience asked about Mako Hill's keynote and how individuals can help further the cause of software freedom. (54:53) Michael Dexter asked if software patents are still as much of a threat as they once were. (1:01:30) Carol asked about the supreme court hearing the Oracle v. Google case (1:09:04) Send feedback and comments on the cast to .

Karen and Bradley discuss the end to Microsoft's e-book platform and generally the dangers and disasters that Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) cause for software users and developers. Show Notes: Karen and Bradley discuss the end to Microsoft's e-book platform and generally the dangers and disasters that Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) cause for software users and developers. Segment 0 (00:35) Bradley mentioned that Microsoft ended their e-book platform. He said this was “last month” but we ended up releasing this show late, so it was in August 2019 (01:31). Bradley mentioned the analog hole. (09:50) Karen discussed the exception process under DMCA, which Conservancy participated in regarding “Smart” TVs. (12:30) Bradley mentioned this historical burning of the Library of Alexandria as a Roman weapon, comparing it to DRM. (15:07) Bradley talked about how Netflix and Microsoft used Silverlight initially as the method of DRM, and that Microsoft was a leader in the entertainment industry in providing DRM (20:00) Segment 1 (26:31) Bradley and Karen discuss how DRM and other lock-down of devices, including medical devices, are creating problems in society generally. Karen noted that the role of for-profit companies is not to safeguard the public interest. (41:10) Bradley mentioned you can turn off DRM on the Google Play store for your book (as the publisher).

Bradley and Karen enjoy and discuss Molly De Blanc's keynote at the first annual CopyleftConf, entitled The Margins of Software Freedom, followed by an exclusive interview with Molly! Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:37) Bradley mentioned (without the title) the film, When a Stranger Calls, which is indeed a real movie, not a TV movie, and was from the late 1970s — although Bradley saw it on TV sometime in the 1980s. (02:15) Segment 1 (04:11) A recording of Molly De Blanc's keynote at the first annual (2019) CopyleftConf, entitled entitled The Margins of Software Freedom. Slides for Molly's talk are available on her gitlab account. Segment 2 (20:11) Bradley and Karen talk about the keynote and set up the interview. Segment 3 (23:56) Extended interview with Molly from on site at CopyleftConf 2019! Segment 4 (34:06) Bradley and Karen discuss what ideas Molly's interview got them thinking about. Bradley wrote a blog post about Delta's anti-union marketing.

Bradley and Karen discuss two additional permissions that can be used to “backport” the GPLv3 Termination provisions to GPLv2 — the Kernel Enforcement Statement Additional Permission, and the Red Hat Cooperation Commitment. A blog post on Conservancy's site summarizes the discussion on this show. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:35) Bradley mentioned irregardless is not actually a word, but it does appear to be slang, which dates back to 1795! (03:23) The additional permission system was codified as a formal part of GPLv3, but are generally more informal under GPLv2. (05:24) Karen explained what the Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement. (07:49) Karen mentioned that Daleks terminate! (08:51) Segment 1 (13:04) Bradley mentioned the inbound=outbound FOSS licensing contributor assent system (18:15) Segment 2 (26:10) Karen and Bradley discuss the term “non-defensive” and what it means. Bradley mentioned the Twin Peaks lawsuit as a non-hypothetical case where the RHCC would not apply where GPL enforcement was used by Red Hat itself as a retaliation tactic. (29:23) The Kernel Enforcement Statement and the RHCC are available online.

Bradley and Karen discuss the details of the completion of the lawsuit (which Conservancy supported) between Christoph Hellwig and VMware in Germany. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:37) Bradley mentioned the episode of Red Dwarf, White Hole, where the characters are speaking too slowly or two quickly due to time differentials. (01:30) Bradley explained that the Hellwig vs. VMware suit in Germany has concluded. (03:30) German is a civil law legal system. (05:15) Christoph Hellwig announced on his website that he has decided not to appeal. (07:18) Bradley did a technical analysis how much of Christoph's code appeared in the infringing VMware product. (07:50) Till Jaeger was Christoph's lawyer; Till was also the lawyer for Harald Welte's (currently defunct) gpl-violations.org project. (09:04) Segment 1 (09:26) “Trolling” refers to being a non-practicing entity. Patrick McHardy is specifically a practicing entity, since he upstreamed a lot of code in Linux. (09:50) Bradley was thinking of the patent troll, Intellectual Ventures. (10:40) Bradley that the Eastern district of Texas hears many patent cases in the USA. (10:50) Bradley mentioned a This American Life, Episode 411, which discussed patents. Show hosts/producers Laura Sydell and Alex Blumberg visit one of those “empty-but-not” office buildings in the Eastern District of Texas. (11:18) Bradley and Karen wrote about Patrick McHardy's behavior back in July 2016 — Conservancy was the first to talk about it publicly. Bradley sought to prevent the “compliance industrial complex” from using knowledge of Patrick's behavior to unduly scare people. (13:10) Conservancy (with FSF) also published the Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement (15:10) The rest of the Netfilter team, except for Patrick McHardy, endorsed the Principles. (16:30) The VMware suit started 2015-03-05, and began before Patrick McHardy started his problematic behavior. While the VMware suit was working its way through the court, McHardy had filed many inappropriate lawsuits. (18:30) German court decisions are very rarely published, but thanks to hard work by everyone involved, the appeal decision, and the lower Court's decision (the latter of which was also translated into English.) (27:30) Segment 2 (33:01) In the next episode, Karen will discuss the Kernel Enforcement Statement Additional Permission, and the Red Hat “Cooperation Commitment”.

Bradley and Karen discuss and critique the new initiative by the Linux Foundation called CommunityBridge. The podcast includes various analysis that expands upon their blog post about Linux Foundation's CommunityBridge. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:36) Conservancy helped Free Software Foundation and GNOME Foundation begin fiscal sponsorship work. (07:50) Conservancy has always been very coordinated with Software in the Public Interest, which is a FOSS fiscal sponsor that predates Conservancy. (08:26) Conservancy helped NumFocus get started as a fiscal sponsor by providing advice. (08:53) The above are all 501(c)(3) charities, but there are also 501(c)(6) fiscal sponsors, such as Linux Foundation and Eclipse Foundation. (10:00) Bradley mentioned that projects that are forks can end up in different fiscal sponsors, such as Hudson being in Eclipse Foundation, and Jenkins being associated with a Linux Foundation sub-org. (10:30) Bradley mentioned that any project — be it SourceForge, GitHub, or Community Bridge — that attempts to convince FOSS developers to use proprietary software for their projects is immediately suspect (12:00) Open Collective, a for-profit company seeking to do fiscal sponsorship (but attempting to release their code for it) is likely under the worst “competitive” threat from this initiative. (19:50) Segment 1 (21:23) Projects that use CommunityBridge are required to act in the common business interest of the Linux Foundation members.

Receiver Buying Guide 2015 It is that time of year where we get to spend your money again! This week we concentrate on receivers. Our goal with these guides is not necessarily about getting the latest product. It's about getting a good product at a great price so you may see some of last year's gear on the list. All these receivers are readily available online or at a big box store. Just like last year's Buying Guide, we're going to skip the budget categories jump right to our top picks. We each pick three receivers and one ‘money is no object' / ‘dare to dream' receiver for you to consider. Braden's Picks Onkyo TX-NR545 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver ($440) This 7.2-channel receiver can power a 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos speaker setup: 5.1 standard surround configuration plus two in-ceiling or height channels: 5.1.2. All HDMI inputs support the latest TV video displays, and with three of six inputs handling HDCP 2.2. Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Airplay (including Pandora and Spotify) to stream virtually any audio from your smartphone, tablet, or PC to your home theater. And support for playback of Compressed, Lossless, and Hi-Res Audio via Local Network (MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless, DSD 5.6 MHz, LPCM). Denon AVR-X3200W 7.2-Channel Full 4K Ultra HD A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ($999) Because we all know Denon makes the best receivers...this bad boy is a 7.2 channel A/V receiver that packs 105W of power per channel. It has 3D and 4K Ultra HD/60Hz full rate pass-through with 4:4:4 color resolution, HDR, BT.2020. 8 HDMI 2.0a inputs (incl. 1 front) and 2 HDMI outputs with full HCDP 2.2 support. Of course, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. And let's not forget Dolby Atmos (up to 5.1.2), DTS:X ready (via firmware update). Instant content Airplay, Spotify Connect, Pandora, SiriusXM Internet Radio Internet Radio, DLNA, DSD,FLAC, ALAC and AIFF High Resolution streaming. And the new IP control capability with the HEOS Link turns any stereo system into a wireless zone (HEOS LINK sold separately). Denon AVRX6200W 9.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ($2199) Two Denons? Is that allowed? The X3200 is the reasonable choice. the X6200 is the less reasonable, but “wow” choice. The amplifier has 9 discrete output stages with identical circuit topology and high current transistors. Each channel is rated at 140 watts. Of course the AVR-X6200W features the next-generation sound formats Dolby Atmos, dts UHD and Auro 3D (upgradable) which allows you to add Height/Top speakers to dramatically expand the soundstage. Featuring a total of 8 HDMI inputs, the AVR-X6200W also has 3 HDMI outputs for flexible multi-room options, with full HDCP 2.2 support. This receiver is also equipped with advanced video circuitry capable of upscaling video signals to 1080p and up to 4K/60Hz full-rate video passthru with support for 4:4:4 color resolution, HDR, and BT.2020. Ara's Picks Yamaha RX-A850 7.2-Channel MusicCast AV Receiver with Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth $899.99 This year I am only selecting receivers that are HDCP 2.2 compliant and support 3D sound. As a result my lowest cost receiver comes in at a penny under $900 but it supports a 5.2.2 Atmos setup and you can send it any 4K Ultra HD source with HDCP 2.2 and HDR. The 850 has support for Hi Res Audio as well as Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, and Internet Radio. There is also support for Yamaha's proprietary wireless multiroom audio system called MusicCast.   Pioneer SC-91 7.2 Channel Networked Class D3 AV Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi & Dolby Atmos $999 I have never been disappointed with the audio quality of a Pioneer Elite receiver and based on my recent experience with its little brother, the VSX-90, I can fully recommend this receiver to anyone who wants to take a step up in this department.  This unit is 130 watts per channel which will fill even large rooms with sound. It supports 4K pass through and of course Dolby Atmos. The SC-91 has MCACC Pro calibration, Subwoofer EQ, built-in AV Navigator, plus an easy initial setup app. Marantz SR6010 7.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD AV Sourround Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi $1399 I have one and so should you. While this unit only has 7 amps (110 Watts each) it does have 13 preouts which with an external amp will provide you with the most immersive audio experience! The 6010 supports both Dolby Atmos and dts UHD. Of course it supports 4K Pass through and is HDCP 2.2 compliant. It streams all kinds of services but we all have a set top box that can do that don't we! Ultimate Present Integra DTR-70.6 11.2-Channel AV Receiver $2,800 I have never been able to get my hands on an Integra receiver but if I can dream this is what I would want. It checks every box and then some. Its THX Select 2 Plus certified and can be calibrated so that the video processing in this receiver actually does something to improve the picture on your TV. Components are heavily screened to assure optimal sound. If you are big into automation the 70.6 supports AMX, Control 4, Crestron and Compass Control. This truly is an ultimate Christmas present for the A/V  lover in your life! And that just may be yourself!!

(00:37:50) Bradley mentioned the hostile fork of GCC called egcs. The H-Online years later wrote a long article that discussed the egcs fork egcs fork. (00:39:46) Bradley mentioned that plagiarism is ultimately about attribution, and modern DVCS systems makes attribution easy and renders plagiarism impossible (if DVCS logs are accurate). (00:44:15) Bradley mentioned that he continually has learned the lesson that if you let your employer keep copyright, you lose everything you had when you switch employers (if the work isn't copylefted). (00:47:00) Bradley discussed the methods of attribution required in GPLv3. (00:50:05) Bradley mentioned that copyright notices are the primary method of attribution in copyleft licenses, and even non-copyleft ones too. (00:53:19) Karen discussed the attribution requirements in text of CC-BY-SA 4.0. (00:53:49) Bradley wants to do a whole FaiF show about how CC-BY-SA may not be a true copyleft since it has no source code requirement (00:54:40) Bradley mentioned the “fake name” that film directors use when they wish to disavow a work they aren't happy with. The name is, in fact, Alan Smithee, and indeed the 1984 film Dune lists Smithee as a director even though David Lynch is known publicly to be the director. (00:58:40) Bradley mentioned the unfair accusations against Red Hat when they stopped publishing their internal Linux Git repository and instead released a more standard ChangeLog.

Bradley and Karen discuss the key differences between 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6) organizations in the USA, and discuss recent refusals by the IRS to grant such statuses to Open Source and Free Software orgs. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:34) Bradley mentioned the 501(c)(3) vs. 501(c)(6) difference came up on FaiF 0x41. (03:35) Bradley mentioned that in 501(c)(3) status from the IRS is based on receiving some status governed by §170(b)(1)(A) of the tax code. (Most Free Software charities, such as Conservancy, are classifed as non-profit charities under §170(b)(1)(A)(vi).) (05:10) Bradley mentioned this issue had been discussed on FLOSS Foundations' mailing list (05:50) Bradley discussed that at the OSCON 2013 tutorial, Community Foundations 101, most of the 501(c)(6) representatives who spoke argued incorrectly that the differences between 501(c)(3)'s and 501(c)(6)'s were not substantive. (10:50) Karen referenced how the TV show Silicon Valley parodies the irony of for-profit software companies claiming they make the world a better place. (11:58) Bradley mentioned he was inspired by Michael Moore in his work on Free Software. (15:02) Bradley mentioned Karen's talk called Identity Crisis (15:21) Karen mentioned that open source was on the list of items the IRS gave additional scrutiny. (16:51) Bradley mentioned a blog post by Jim Nelson where Yorba's rejection was discussed; Yorba's 501(c)(3) application was previously discussed on was discussed on 0x1C, and covered in many other places. (17:46) Karen wrote a blog post about why she isn't worried for Conservancy's 501(c)(3) status at this time. (18:30) Bradley mentioned that IRS decisions don't make precedent, and if there's a dispute, it would go to USA Tax Court (19:00) Mozilla Foundation's odd hybrid for-profit/non-profit model was audited by the IRS, and Mozilla Foundation settled with the IRS. (20:22) Open Stack Foundation was initially denied 501(c)(6) status, as reported on Mark McLoughlin's blog. (25:10) Bradley promised links to both Yorba's 501(c)(3) denial letter from the IRS and Open Stack Foundation's 501(c)(6) denial letter from the IRS. (The response to the IRS from OpenStack, written by DLA Piper, OpenStack Foundation's law firm, is also available, too. (27:15) Bradley and Karen discussed Board of Directors meetings in FaiF 0x45: I'm Board (31:40) Bradley mentioned the How fresh stays fresh campaign, which includes the Nature's Pause Button television commercials by the American Frozen Food Institute, which is a 501(c)(6) organization. It's FY 2012 Form 990 is the most recent on available. Bradley also mentioned the Beef: It's What's For Dinner advertisting campaign that has existed for decades in the USA, which is sponsored by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Inc. which is a 501(c)(6) as well. It's FY 2012 Form 990 is the most recent on available. (35:40) Bradley further mentioned the Pork: the other white meat advertising campaign, which has also existed for decades but is now called the Pork: Be Inspired campaign, seems a bit more dubious in its non-profit existence. It appears to be funded by the National Pork Board Foundation, which is ostensibly a 501(c)(3) but has no assets, revnue nor expenses, and appears to be a front for an org called the America's Pork Producers / Pork Checkoff, which appears to be some quasi-govermental agency related to pork (in other words, it's pork for pork). More research would probably be needed to figure out better what's going on here with regard to non-profit status, but it seems that unlike the Beef ads, which are clearly funded by a 501(c)(6), this campaign is funded by a separate legislation, presumably unrelated to §501(c). There is, BTW, also, a 501(c)(5) called the National Pork Producers Council, which appears to be where the big money is (— not surprisingly — 501(c)(4)'s and 501(c)(5)'s often make 501(c)(6)'s and 501(c)(3)'s look tiny by comparison).
