More Command line fun: downloading a podcast In the show hpr4398 :: Command line fun: downloading a podcast Kevie walked us through a command to download a podcast. He used some techniques here that I hadn't used before, and it's always great to see how other people approach the problem. Let's have a look at the script and walk through what it does, then we'll have a look at some "traps for young players" as the EEVBlog is fond of saying. Analysis of the Script wget `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -o 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | head -1` It chains four different commands together to "Save the latest file from a feed". Let's break it down so we can have checkpoints between each step. I often do this when writing a complex one liner - first do it as steps, and then combine it. The curl command gets https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ . To do this ourselves we will call curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ --output tuxjam.xml , as the default file name is index.html. This gives us a xml file, and we can confirm it's valid xml with the xmllint command. $ xmllint --format tuxjam.xml >/dev/null $ echo $? 0 Here the output of the command is ignored by redirecting it to /dev/null Then we check the error code the last command had. As it's 0 it completed sucessfully. Kevie then passes the output to the grep search command with the option -o and then looks for any string starting with https followed by anything then followed by two forward slashes, then -o, --only-matching Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such part on a separate output line We can do the same with. I was not aware that grep defaulted to regex, as I tend to add the --perl-regexp to explicitly add it. grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml http matches the characters http literally (case sensitive) s* matches the character s literally (case sensitive) Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] : matches the character : literally / matches the character / literally / matches the character / literally [^"]* match a single character not present in the list below Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] " a single character in the list " literally (case sensitive) ogg matches the characters ogg literally (case sensitive) When we run this ourselves we get the following $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg The last command returns the first line, so therefore https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg Finally that line is used as the input to the wget command. Problems with the approach Relying on grep with structured data like xml or json can lead to problems. When we looked at the output of the command in step 2, some of the results gave https://ogg . When run the same command without the --only-matching argument we see what was matched. $ grep 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml This episode may not be live as in TuxJam 115 from Oggcamp but your friendly foursome of Al, Dave (thelovebug), Kevie and Andrew (mcnalu) are very much alive to treats of Free and Open Source Software and Creative Commons tunes. https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/ https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respond https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/feed/ With the group meeting up together for the first time in person, it was decided that a live recording would be an appropriate venture. With the quartet squashed around a table and a group of adoring fans crowded into a room at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester, the discussion turns to TuxJam reviews that become regularly used applications, what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 and for the third section the gang put their reputation on the line and allow open questions from the sea of dedicated fans. OggCamp 2024 on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October 2024, Manchester UK. Two of the hits are not enclosures at all, they are references in the text to OggCamp what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 Normally running grep will only get one entry per line, and if the xml is minimised it can miss entries on a file that comes across as one big line. I did this myself using xmllint --noblanks tuxjam.xml > tuxjam-min.xml I then edited it and replaced the new lines with spaces. I have to say that the --only-matching argument is doing a great job at pulling out the matches. That said the results were not perfect either. $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam-min.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=1029https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respondhttps://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg You could fix it by modifying the grep arguments and add additional searches looking for enclosure . The problem with that approach is that you'll forever and a day be chasing issues when someone changes something. So the approach is officially "Grand", but it's a very likely to break if you're not babysitting it. Suggested Applications. I recommend never parsing structured documents , like xml or json with grep. You should use dedicated parsers that understands the document markup, and can intelligently address parts of it. I recommend: xml use xmlstarlet json use jq yaml use yq Of course anyone that looks at my code on the hpr gittea will know this is a case of "do what I say, not what I do." Never parse xml with grep, where the only possible exception is to see if a string is in a file in the first place. grep --max-count=1 --files-with-matches That's justified under the fact that grep is going to be faster than having to parse, and build a XML Document Object Model when you don't have to. Some Tips Always refer to examples and specification A specification is just a set of rules that tell you how the document is formatted. There is a danger in just looking at example files, and not reading the specifications. I had a situation once where a software developer raised a bug as the files didn't begin with ken-test- followed by a uuid . They were surprised when the supplied files did not follow this convention as per the examples. Suffice to say that was rejected. For us there are the rules from the RSS specification itself, but as it's a XML file there are XML Specifications . While the RSS spec is short, the XML is not, so people tend to use dedicated libraries to parse XML. Using a dedicated tool like xmlstarlet will allow us to mostly ignore the details of XML. RSS is a dialect of XML . All RSS files must conform to the XML 1.0 specification, as published on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website. The first line of the tuxjam feed shows it's an XML file. The specification goes on to say "At the top level, a RSS document is a element, with a mandatory attribute called version, that specifies the version of RSS that the document conforms to. If it conforms to this specification, the version attribute must be 2.0." And sure enough then the second line show that it's a RSS file.

This 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. Provide feedback on this episode.
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.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Background Ken suggested at Oggcamp to do a long term product review of my hand warmer. Product information The model: OCOOPA 10,000 mAh capacity Purchase date: December 2020 Cost: £25 Description: It has a single button used to turn it on and to adjust the heat level. It has three different USB sockets. These are used when either charging the hand warmer or using it as a power bank to charge other devices. Links to product Fast charge model from Ocoopa. My model charges slower which might be gentler on the battery. Actually the real reason I bought the slow charge model was it was cheaper Amazon seem to sell the model I have and amazingly it’s still £25! Story During OggCamp I mentioned to Ken that I had an electric hand warmer and he asked me if it was any good. He suggested I do a long term product review of it. So here is my review I do lots of dog walking and suffer from cold hands. I've had different hand warmers over the years: Ones that you boil in water. Don’t last long One that is activated by removing from its packet. Lasts for many hours actually too long. They seems very wasteful as they are single use. Zippo hand warmer works well but is a faff to setup and sometimes goes out. This electric hand warmer is by far the best solution I've found. It saved me twice during OggCamp as I used it on two occasions to top up my phone. When arriving and leaving OggCamp. This was the first time I’d used the hand warmer to charge anything. I was very glad it worked. At the time of purchase I was rather sceptical about the whole idea of electric hand warmers. The batteries are not used in ideal conditions. They get very hot and when in use a lot of current is drawn from them. My Hand warmer is now almost 4 years old and is still going strong with no noticeable degradation in capacity. It has a rated capacity is 10,000 mAh. The highest charge it achieved was about 1 year into use. It accepted 8034 mAh of charge. I haven’t checked again since November 2021. However it still continues to last many hours / multiple dog walks. I always get a bit nervous over the summer months as it is left for a number of months unused. Luckily living in Scotland I don’t need to wait long until the weather gets cold. Did I mention before about the horrible weather in Scotland? How I look after the battery Always wait for the battery to return to room temperature before putting it on charge. Don’t leave the hand warmer for more than a few days at 100% charge. Try not to completely flatten the battery. If you do flatten the battery then charge it up soon afterwards. If storing it for a number of months then try to store it at approximately 50% charge.

Any other business HPR Updates There has been a lot of activity this month on the Gitea repos with rho`n catching up on outstanding bugs. 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. HPR Website Design This is literally in the whiteboard phase of the HPR website redesign. Podcatcher and Podcasting Platform Compatibility 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. Workflow issues. 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.

Kevie, co-host of TuxJam, contines his series on uses for the Raspberry Pi with a look at the Badger2040 from Pimoroni. In this episode Kevie shares some thoughts about the Badger 2040, which was purchased for the primary reason of needing a geeky name badge for attending this year's Oggcamp, which will be Kevie's first time being able to attend the event. For more information about how to use the Badger 2040, take a look at this guide on Pimoroni's website. Before being able to talk to the device you will need to install Thonny on your computer. Finally a huge thanks to everyone who has left feedback for me via Mastodon; firstly for taking the time to listen and secondly for putting in the effort to reply.

Any other business Many Podcatchers don't show the episode author It seems that the author fields in RSS and Atom feeds are not shown by a number of Podcatchers. This field is intended to show the author details, and with HPR shows it contains an obfuscated email address and a name: ken.nospam@nospam.fallon.ie (Ken Fallon) The lack of this information makes knowing who created a given HPR show difficult to determine before listening to it. A question has been raised as to whether we could include the author details at the start of the show notes. Comments are requested from the Community as to whether this would be a useful addition. The Corresponding Source - renamed podcast The Corresponding Source (formerly Free as in Freedom) is a bi-weekly oggcast, hosted and presented by Bradley M. Kuhn and Karen Sandler.

Introduction Hosts: MrX Dave Morriss We recorded this on Monday September 12th 2022. We have a list of talking points each time and never get through them! Topics discussed Places visited: Lake District, England Loch Lomond, Scotland Stockbridge, Edinburgh Water of Leith, Edinburgh Death of Queen Elizabeth Died September 8th 2022 at Balmoral Castle, Scotland, aged 96 State funeral 2022-09-19 Navigation by phone: Dave's phone battery out of charge on the outskirts of Liverpool on the way to OggCamp. MrX's old Garmin GPS used weird routes when travelling Dave once met a lost driver going down Donkey Lane1 to the pedestrian railway crossing due to bad GPS directions Domestic stuff: Dave's house has been painted. It's covered in harling (aka rough-cast or pebble-dash in England) which has very sharp stones embedded in it, and this paint covers these sharp stones. Plumbing issues: stopping a dripping tap, replacing the washer, or with modern taps the module. Advisability of calling in a plumber! COVID-19, and related: The virus has not gone, even though there are many who pretend that it has. MrX and MrsX visited St Bees for a wedding with a Cèilidh and MrX caught COVID there, though it wasn't serious. MrsX did not catch it! Immunology is hard to understand! Some cold-like illnesses may be caused by other corona viruses and may help protect against SARS-CoV-2. Dave has an Immunology book, but hasn't read it yet! See the links for details. MrX mentioned Richard J Murphy in the context of being realistic about COVID-19 and continuing to take precautions. Reluctance to go shopping. Dave makes a weekly trip, wearing a mask. MrX uses Click and Collect. Dave has lost weight so some of his clothes are too big. MrX has trouble finding smaller sized clothes when shopping. Old technology: MrX recently found a box in his wardrobe with six Psion 3c Organisers in it, in various states of disrepair. From these a functioning organiser was made, which is in regular use. MrX used to have a Psion Series 3a but the hinge failed. Dave had a Psion Series 5mx for a time, as did MrsX. Dave's failed either because of a screen fault or a failure of the ribbon cable connecting to the screen. The Series 3c, and the later 3mx, have an Easter Egg available through a particular key sequence. This is a rendition of the anthem “Jerusalem”, and is included at the end of this episode (and is responsible for the show title). Dave had had a Psion Organiser II at work in the early days of organisers, but it was not particularly useful. MrX had an Atari Portfolio. He describes it as: a dreadful machine running DOS 2.11 It regularly crashed, losing all its memory. I decided to ditch it after having to type out my contacts list every time it crashed. MrX also had a Nokia N810, an Internet Tablet running Linux. Dave couldn't quite remember at the time of recording, but he bought a used Nokia 770 on eBay, which was the predecessor of the N810. This was also a Linux-based system, but it didn't last more than a couple of weeks sadly. Both bought - and still have - the ASUS Eee PC. Dave's is the 1005HA model. MrX still uses his from time to time Dave is thinking about installing a BSD flavour on his, but doesn't use it often. It currently has CrunchBang installed. Telegram: Dave runs it on his desktop (and laptop) as well as two phones. The phones run KDE Connect and are configured to tell the desktop when a message arrives! HPR New Year show: HonkeyMagoo (of the Linux LUGCast podcast) does a lot of the work with the recording in conjunction with Ken. He divides up the audio into shows, and in past years has prepared show notes. This year a LUGCast listener HPLovecraft did the notes, and they are very good! Postscript MrX found the Easter Egg, mentioned during our chat, on his Psion Series 3C, recorded it via Audacity, and sent me the resulting Easter Ogg! It has been appended to the main recording. Links Various Wikipedia links: Lake District, England Loch Lomond, Scotland Stock Bridge, Edinburgh Water of Leith, Edinburgh Death of Queen Elizabeth St Bees on the coast of Cumbria, England Harling wall covering (aka rough-cast) Cèilidh, a traditional Scottish social gathering Book: How the Immune System Works, Lauren Sompayrac, ISBN 9781119542124 Richard J Murphy Item mentioned in the blog Organisers (all Wikipedia links): Psion Organiser II Psion 3a Organiser Psion 3c Organiser Psion Series 5 Atari Portfolio Nokia N810 Nokia 770 ASUS Eee PC Instant Messaging: Telegram Owned by a Russian billionaire. Donkey Lane is a public right of way, possibly since the 1700's. It starts as a pedestrian-only pathway then turns into a narrow tarmac-covered roadway with a pedestrian-only railway crossing.↩︎

Opening Hello, my name is Dave, and welcome to another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio. It's been a couple of years since my last episode, and I know that HPR is running low on shows. As I have had this one in planning for some time now, I though this was the right time to get it finished. Main At the time of recording this, I've been an Amateur Radio licence holder for 6 months. I took the notion of studying and applying for my Foundation licence (the first of three stages to a Full licence) when I read a blog post by Jon Spriggs G7VRI, back in March, entitled Might Amateur Radio be a hobby for you? I saw a presentation by Jon at OggCamp in 2018 in Sheffield where he gave a whistle-stop tour of what Amateur Radio actually is, and how easy it is to get involved in it. As a bit of background, I was quite involved in the CB Radio scene back in the late 80s and early 90s - I was introduced to CB by my dad, whose handle was "Screwball", in the 70s... he had a CB rig in his car since as far back as I can remember. I picked up the hobby from him, by actually liberating him of his rig when he stopped using it. Unfortunately it got stolen from my car. C'est la vie. Yes, my handle back then was "The Love Bug" - in fact, it was whilst looking for an alternative to "Kool Kat" as a handle that I first used the moniker "The Love Bug" - probably in the mid-80s - and it just stuck. So, after reading Jon's blog post, and doing some research into Amateur Radio myself, a whole bunch of things happened at the same time: I bought my first radio - a Baofeng UV-5RTP [Amazon UK], I joined the Radio Society of Great Britain (not a requirement, but I would recommend it), signed up for Essex Ham's Foundation Training Course (not a requirement, but strongly recommended as it's geared around the examination, and it's free!) The training took 3 weeks (in my own time), and I applied for my exam as soon as the training was complete. The exam was an hour long, under as close to exam conditions as an online exam would allow, and I was told by the online system that I'd passed as soon as I submitted my answers. It then took a few days to get the confirmation of passing (and a certificate) in the post, which then allowed me to apply to Ofcom (the authority for the radio spectrum here in the UK) for my licence and callsign. I was able to choose the suffix of my callsign, and - as BUG was taken - I opted for TLB (for The Love Bug), and thus my callsign is - currently - M7TLB (Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo). I say "currently" - I'm not allowed to change my callsign, however the callsign is specific not only to me but also to the fact that I'm a Foundation Licence holder. Therefore, when I go for my Intermediate and then Full licence, I'll get new callsigns for each one, each superseding the previous. Anyhoo, once I got my Foundation licence, I went out that Sunday to log some contacts, or QSOs. So I parked up at a high point near to here, put a small aerial on the roof of the car (so that I didn't warm up my head when transmitting), and started calling CQ - essentially a way of saying "I want to talk to somebody" - "Seek You". As part of the licence conditions, you are only permitted to make contact with other identifiable and identified amateurs... general broadcasts to whomever might be listening are prohibited. Except when calling CQ to initiate that contact. So I'd call out something akin to "CQ, CQ, this station Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo, Mike Seven Tango Lima Bravo Portable, calling CQ." The "Portable" indicates that I'm not at my home station location. It's also a good indication that my transmission might be variable due to the portable nature of the station. I was transmitting using 8 watts of power, two watts fewer than the limit of my license, but significantly lower than the 400 watts that I could be using as a Full licence holder, so my hopes weren't high. My first contact was with a chap just outside Caistor, Lincolnshire... about 38 miles direct from where I was based. He was also using a portable station, but with a directional beam antenna, meaning that both transmission and reception from his end was able to focus on my direction. So yeah, impressed! My second contact was also a portable station, located at a high-point by the Woodhead Pass, in Penistone, about 18 miles direct from where I was. This contact was the gift that kept on giving, as there were two other portable stations at the same location, so I got three contacts in the log for that one. Things went quiet after that one, so after a further 5 calls out, I figured that was my lot. Still, I was happy with four QSOs on my first day! Later the same day, I went out for my daily constitutional, so I figured I'd take the radio - with the standard short rubber-duck antenna, and an earpiece - with me. At least that way, I wouldn't look too silly, or a target to be fair. My intention was just to bounce around the frequencies and listen to conversations, rather than put out any CQs myself... I was in a residential area, so I didn't want to draw attention to myself. Whilst listening, I heard someone calling CQ and inviting respondents to a different frequency, so I followed and listened. There were a couple of contacts already there that I couldn't hear, so I waited for the initial contact to finish working the first. When he put out a call for whomever originally responded, I jumped in with my callsign, thinking that there was no way he would hear me. Consider that I was walking around town, in a reasonably built-up area, with probably the worst antenna I could have chosen for distance, and he wasn't exactly coming through strong. He responded to me directly, asking me to standby whilst he worked the other station that responded. Well, I was shocked to hear him say to the other contact that he was in East Yorkshire, about 33 miles from here! He was using a directional beam antenna which was pointing due west... whereas I am south-west of his location, so when you consider the other things I mentioned, the fact that he was also not pointing his antenna directly at me I was completely amazed that I was able to hold this relatively decent quality conversation with someone that far away. Well pleased was I. Cost-wise, I should warn that Amateur Radio can be an expensive hobby, but it absolutely doesn't have to be. At a bare minimum, to get me "on the air" I bought the Baofeng (£42.99), and paid for my Foundation examination (£27.50), so a little over £70 overall. I actually bought a number of accessories for the radio, and joined the RSGB, but these are in no way required expenses. The standard radio on its own is more than sufficient to gain some decent contacts, as I hope I've proven with the success from that Sunday. Since then, I have bought an HF (or High Frequency) radio from India, it's a low-power model (or QRP) which is unlikely to get very far, but there are transmission modes that I can use that are specifically intended for low-power operation. My next big thing is to get an antenna up in the back garden along with a decent tuner so that I can actually use that radio!! By the time this episode goes out, I will have started an intensive course with OARC (Online Amateur Radio Community) which is a UK-based club - a more fantastic bunch of people you are not likely to find - so I'll be able to change my callsign to one beginning 2E0 or 2E1, and be able to use up to 50W to transmit, even though I don't have any equipment capable to transmitting 50W - yet! I point you to the excellent Ham radio, QSK series on HPR where a number of correspondents have recorded shows about Amateur Radio that you may find interesting. I'm putting this episode into the same series. Questions Are you an Amateur Radio operator? Let me know. Call to action Drop me an email to hpr@thelovebug.org, I'm on Facebook and Twitter as thelovebug, or leave a comment on this episode, or record your own episode in response. At the time of recording this, HPR is low on shows, if you have any shows in progress, or something burning in your mind, get it recorded. Find out more over at hackerpublicradio.org. Close So, that's it for today... thanks for listening. Wherever you are in the world, stay safe. Come back again tomorrow for another exciting episode on Hacker Public Radio. 73 de M7TLB

Disclaimer Please note that this podcast may contain swearing or mature references and should be listened to by adults or people with mature supervision. News Dropbox sync will work only on EXT4 (unencrypted only, Linux), NTFS (Windows), APFS and HFS+ (both Mac OS). pCloud might be a good alternative to Dropbox. It’s hosted in Switzerland and cheaper. Rclone is also an option, but more of a DIY as you’d need to provide the backend storage. Most of us use the default file system for their distro, so many will be able to keep using Dropbox. Nextcloud will be big in Japan, as NEC are gonna make routers with Nextcloud pre-installed. Nextcloud 14 to be released in September is going to feature video authentication for shared files and lots of other new features. Gaming Play Windows Steam Games on Linux with Proton, a fork of the Wine project. This could be a game changer for desktop Linux adoption, especially as some games, GTA V for example, show better max fps on Proton than on Windows. Linux to the masses! Discussion Oggcamp 2018 was great! Shout out to all the lovely people who gave us encouragement and awesome podcasting advice: Joe Ressington, Martin Wimpress, Alan Pope and Mark Johnson, Dan Lynch, Simon Phipps, Jon the Nice Guy Spriggs and Chris Zimmerman. Many thanks to Tad Cantwell for the best promotion! Great talks - From building your own mobile network with Raspberry PIs and running your own mainframe to Dark Peak Data Cooperative and everything in between. Amazing social track - it was inspiring and heart warming to meet so many people so passionate about Linux and free culture. How do you make ‘other’ people interesting in Linux? Make it better than other OS, installed out of the box, improve an old PC with it… Linux is for everyone! (Not just you CLI geeks ;-)) We moan a bit about other, not so good OSes (with love, of course). Updates are just so much better on Linux. Oggcamp rules, even if it’s not humanly possible to see all the talks. Go join all the great people in 2019 to see the best of the Linux and open culture community! Oggcamp is also free as in beer (and the beer in the UK is cheap).
